FRIDAY, IVIAY 18, 1951 • pip (Bo' tire Previewing Next Fall's Football Opposiiion Now that spring football train ing at most schools has ended, it might be interesting to catch a preview of some of the teams that the.Nittany Lions will tackle next fall. The Lions open at home against a Boston U.. squad which . has just finished what Coach Aldo "Buff' Donelli termed "a most successful training session." Donelli's big problem, which dates back to the - departure of All-American Harry Agganis ' was the choice of a quarterback. But by the looks of things he has come up with a pair of equally good bbys in Johnny Cahill and Johnny Nunziato to share the as signment. Nunziato, a 140-p oun d e sparked last year's freshman team. "He's not only good:me chanically," says Donelli, "he's • the kind of, a guy who lifts a team and gets them moving faster and faster, and hitting harder and harder:" Another outstanding boy up from the frosh team is fullback Lou Petroka. As aline backer in the New HaMpshire U. prac tice game, he was the - fifth man in the UNH backfield most of the afternoon. A newcomer to the Lion roster after a years lapse, Villanova will field a squad With the strength in the line rather than in the backfield as 'vas the case with last year's eleven. Although weakened -by the loss of a whole starting back field, the club has been bolster ed by th e addition of , many promising sophomore linemen as well as a fast-moving array of backs. Coach Jim Leonard will be fur ther aided by the return of nine teen letterinen to pr o d.e' the needed experience. Much of the Wildcat strength can be found at end where Co- Captain Joe Rilo will be playing his third season; pairing with 6 foot 7 inch sophomore Ray Rig .ney at the other end of the line. Another newcomer after a year's absence, Michigan State, is already being tabbed by the armchair grid experts as a pos sible undefeated powerhouse for 1951. With fighting going on for all •.positions no one player is stand ing above the others. "Never be fore have I seen such competition for the annual spring outstanding player award," Coach `Biggie Munn said. Chances of the Spartans having a brother act on the ends ap pears evident. Bill Carey will op erate from the right flank on offense and Captain Bob Carey will be running from the left end post. All-American tackle Don Coleman is also back for another year. The Lions will journey to Lin coln, Neb.' •in October, and need more be said about the Huskers than that Bobby Reynolds, last year's leading collegiate scorer, will be there to greet the Lions when they arrive? Bill Jeffrey and Charlie Spei del, both 25-year veterans, boast the longest tenure of Penn State's current athletic coaches.

STEELERS SIGN PITTSBURGH, May 17—(JP)— The Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Professional Football League today 'signed Lynn Chandnois, former! Michigan State halfback, to a 1951 contract. By TOM SAYLOR A f te r. the Western Maryland opener, the Nittanies dropped consecutive tilts to Navy and Loyola of Baltimore. Thiel's crew then defeated „Penn, 14-5, to even its log at 2-2. Since the Penn match, State has won one while losing one to even its record to 3-3. Penn. State will enter tomor row's fray as a slight favorite after the convincing manner in which the Lions knocked off the Maryland Lacrosse Club. How ever, anything goes, and usually does, in a lacreisse game. State will probably use the same starting lineup against Ith aca although two positions still remain in doubt. Attack Positions Thiel will, probably start the trio of Dick Rostmeyer, Ed Her ring, John "Doak" Walker, or Jim Reed at the attack positions. It was Rostmeyer, who along with Wolfram, Benedetti, and Raffensperger, paved the way for the Lion win last week. Rost meyer chipped in with* a pair of goals as well as clearing several shots. At midfield, State will start Jack Wilcox, Bud Wolfram, Al Fulton, op Paul Raffensperger. If Raffensperger squeezes into the starting threespme, he will likely replace Wilcox. Raffy won last week's match with a goal from 10 yards out in the first over time, Tough Defense State will open with Vallee Scout, Barr. Asplundh, and John Henry at defense. It was this trio who was responsible for raising havoc with Maryland's offense last week as' it literally rode the Marylanders off the field. • Ithaca, ont the other hand, will start an experienced team of var sity lacrossers headed by co-cap tains John Lupetin and Joe Kurz ejeska, twalTarsity football play ers. Coach Harold (Pete) Hatch's Squad will have two psychologi cal advantages over the visiting Lions—a revenge motive as well as being the home team. The Bombers will be out to avenge last year's 10-4 defeat hung on them by State. Browns Trade Moss For Batts ST. LOUIS, IYlay 17—(A))—The St. Louis Browns traded catcher Les Moss 'today to the Boston Red Sox for catcher Matt Batts, rookie pitcher` Jim Suchecki and an undisclosed sum, of cash.

SAT.-7 a.m. t 9.4 a.m. 'Open Race' Predicted In Preakness BALTIMORE, May 17 (P) Here it is , only 48 hours before the 75th running of the famed Preakness Stakes, and the tune around old - Pimlico race course has a very familiar ring. Just like in Louisville the week before the Kentucky Derby, peo ple in this Maryland metropolis are singing the old refrain: "It's a wide open race." Had Jack Amiel, owner of the surprise Der by winner—Count Turf—seen fit to nominate his colt for the Preakness this could have been avoided. Furthermore, a definite favorite would be lined up for Pimlico's $75,000—a dd e d turf classic. Count Turf Out But Count Turf can't run, and it looks as if ,eight horses will be shooting for the mile and three sixteenths Preakness. Everyone has been talking about the prob ably top choices, such as Green tree stable's Big Stretch, Brook meade stable's Bold, and the Hampton stable's Altered. So,remembering how one and all orgot to remember Count Turf before the Derby, it might be well to check up on a couple of .the lesser lights here Satur day., 111111! Timely Reward Mrs. Wallace Gilroy's Timely Reward is a' good one to start with. Timely Reward was tenth in the Derby, and his stable fore man, George Gagarin, has no il lusions. "Trying •to pick the Preakness winner is like trying to name the Derby winner," said Gagarin, filling in until trainer George Odom arrives from New' York. "Our horse trained better for the Derby than he ever did, but he ran a bad race. But he's no worse than a. lot of othe r s. They're just a bunch of bad horses this year. Last four sports to be added to the Penn State intercollegiate program, all since the '3o's, are gymnastics, fencing, swimming, and skiing. PAGE SL v maf Army-Navy Game Stays In Phila.
