After, taking a gping over at the hands' of Navy’s: -football.team;
in. a scrimmage Saturday afternoon, the Nittany Lipngridders re-'
turned to hard practice yesterday, fully aware that they Will have'
to improve before the season opens in September or face “a long-’
hard fall.” ‘ ;,V :
Coach. Rip Engle,expressed di
ing . at Annapolis',vSatu?3fiy.' No
official-"score -was 'announced.- ‘*'
“The results" were pretty ;dis
couraging. Especially after we
found out that Villanova (who
the Lions afe -scheduled to meet
next fall) defeated Navy just last
week,” Engle said.
Defense Best
“The offense did not show.any
thing. Our defensive .play' was the
best—considering the time; put
into it in practice,” .Engle con
tinued. The Lions have been work
ing almost exclusively on offen
sive play.
“We . were encouraged by a lot
of things we saw and then again
we were discouraged with some
other things."
The scrimmage with ,:
marked the end ,of a six week
training; period for the Midship
men who had- already been in a
bouple of scrimmages. The Nit
jany gridders are just winding up
'heir third week of spring prae
■ice. ;■
Subsiiiule Freely
Both coaches substituted freely
luring the contest which: lasted
bnger than a regulation game-
• The play of the offensive line
ailed to impress Engle, as the
Navy defenders continually rush
id the Lion quarterbacks, who had
■ ome five or six. passes inter
•epted. •
. 1 “The line blocking wasn’t very
iood,” commented Engle.
, j The Lion coach would comment
mly on one .individual perfor
mance—that of quarterback Frank
llinana, frosh signal caller last
• Eason. .
. | Of Minana, Engle Would say
irmly, “his showing was the:most
- impressive among the quarter
slacks.”
