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.
"The cash involved will be
used to purchase other players,
if and when we find them," 'a
Browns spokesman said. "If we
can't find the players, we will
put this money into our scouting
program.'
The Browns also are to receive
another player to be agreed upon
by the two clubs at the end of
this season.

'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.
