Blue-W hiteTeams Up
For I ntrasquad Game
Rip Engle's Nittany Lion football squad slackened practice ses
sions yesterday in preparation for the Blue-White intrasquad game
to be played on the State College High School Field at 2p.m. Sat-
urday
Earl Bruce, White team coach,
Blues, said no more scrimmages
will be held and that the teams
will not wear pads the rest of
this week.
The benefit game will be spon
sored by the alumni with receipts
to go into a scholarship fund.
Student tickets will be sold at
the game for 50 cents while gen
eral admissions are $l.
Twaddle For Taub
Michaels said that a trade had
been made in an effort to
strengthen both teams. End Pete
Twaddle of the White team was
given to the Blues in exchange
for tackle Sylvan Taub.
Bruce stated, "My team has a
lot of injuries, but if I can muster
my forces the Whites should
win." The freshman coach also
said his team will have secret
practice sessions the rest of the
week to gird for the clash.
Michaels claims the Whites
"took the best players." His team
will work out on the high school
field today to accustom them
selves to different surroundings.
Rados Hurt
The Blues could be faced with
a quarterback problem. Tony Ra
dos is injured and may see only
limited action. In that case, heavy
signal-calling duty would go to
Frank Minana, freshman stand
out. Michaels revealed that full
back Matt Yanosich would be
his "secret weapon." He pointed
ou t the Midland plunger had
been injured most of the spring,
but will be physicaly sound for
Saturday's contest.
Jim O'Hora, line-coach, said,
"The Blue aggregation has the
best defensive team and conse
quent► the Whites may have to
take to the air." If O'Hora is cor
rect, quarterbacks Bob Szajna,
Erick Ritinsky, and Jim Spinelli
will be ready to do the passing
- Fnr Bruce's charges.

Cleveland's pennant insurance, pitcher Lou Brissie, teamed with
Bob Lemon yesterday to hurl the IndiaAs to their second straight win

his first return to his old home grounds almost spoiled things \ with a
350-foot homer in the eighth .

on two Chicago White Sox errors
for five runs and a 6-4 victory.
Joe Collins broke a 4-4 dead

fourth Brave shutout in a week
to blank the St. Louis Cardinals,

Derby To Run
Record Field
LOUISVILLE, May 2 (?P)—A
thorough search of the stable area
at Churchill Downs today failed
to uncover a trainer who doesn't
intend to start his horse in Sat
urday's Kentucky Derby, and
who doesn't, furthermore, think
he can win the big race.
The oldest oldtimer around the
Downs cannot recall quite a par
allel case; where nobody is much
scared of anybody else in the
field and where any one of a
dozen colts is considered capable
of dragging down first prize.
The victory of Calumet Farm's
Fanfare in yesterday's derby trial
didn't frighten anyone away. It
still looks as though 20 runners
will be jammed into the starting
gate, for sure, when they pull
the string, and there might be a
couple or three more.
As the regular starting gate at
the Downs will accommodate
only 20 horses, the management
put in a hurry call to Chicago
and had an extra section of six
stalls shipped down today, just -in
case. If 22 go it will match the
record derby field of 1928, the
year Reigh Count won.
The winner almost certainly
will pocket the biggest purse in
derby history. If 19 start the pay
off will be -a cool $97,050, which
probably explains the reluctance
of the trainers and owners to
scratch any animal, which has
four sound legs. The present
record is the $96,400 won by As
sault in 1946, when 17 ran.

someone live—you can give blood

Backfield Switches
May Be Paying Off
If last Saturday's Bucknell
scrimmage exhibition is any cri
teria, the important backfield
switches that Coach Rip Engle
made this spring are paying off.
The four backs, Ted Shattuck,
Bob Pollard, Chan Johnson, and
Co-captain Len Sheppard, who
may be operating from new po
sitions next fall, all gave good
accounts of themselves against
the Bisons.
_••
Shattuck in particular show
ed no bad effects from the
change that puts him in Tony •
Orsini's vacated left halfback
post. The big sophomore, who
was the Lions' regular full
back last fall, reeled off sev
eral long gains including a
55-yard gallop off tackle for
the Lions' first touchdown.
If Ted takes over the lefthalf
post next season he'll probably
be called on to bear the brunt
of the Lion ground attack, and
if he, runs like he did Saturday
he should do okay. •
Pollard, who last year divided
his playing time between offense
and defense, is faced with fill
ing the shoes of last year's wing
back and captain Owen Dough
erty.
Bob handled himself well at
the new position Saturday. He
should make a capable replace
ment since he starts quicker
and hits the holes faster than
Dougherty did. He is also
handling the punting chores.
Johnson, last year's defensive
safety-man, served notice that he
too has his eye on the wingback
post he scampered about 60 yards
for a score. He had very little
blocking aid and put on a ter
rific show of broken-field run
ning as he picked his way
through the Bucknell team.
Chan. already one of the best
defensive backs on the team,
proved that he can switch to
the offense with very little
trouble.
Although he started at his
regular backer-up post, Sheppard
moved into the offensive full
back spot and carried for a
couple of nice gains through the
line.
Len, of course, , is no stranger
to the bucking post. He subbed
for fullback Franny Rogel in his
first year at State.
