4.i.sJilege Football Ban
Wins Favor In East
Many colleges in the East are favorably inclined toward elimina
tion of Spring ' practice and the platoon system from present-day
football, according to Dr. Carl P. Schott, dean of the School •of Phy
sical Education and Athletics at the College.
Early replies to the Penn State proposal that they be eliminated
as "injurious to the general health of college athletics" portend a
sympathetic reception for both suggestions when they come before
the Eastern College Athletic con
ference for' consideration later
this summer, Schott said.
Mid-Year Report
The Athletic Advisory board, a
13-man body representing stu
dent, faculty, alumni and trustee
opinion, suggested the elimina
tion of both in a mid-year report
which decried the over-emphasis
fostered by Spring practice and
expressed the fear that the pla
toon sistem would be financially
ruinous to college football unless
something were done about it
immediately.
Copies of the report were for
warded to the 91 members of the
Eastern College Athletic confer
ence and their replies indicate a
desire to cooperate with Penn
State in its endeavor to bring
both problems to the attention of
football authorities in the East
and the nation
25 Replies
Schott said of the first 25 re
plies received, none was hostile
and practically all were agreed
that Spring practice should. be
eliminated and that some effort
be made to encourage a restora
tion of the limited substitution
rule. Nearly all said that present
day football was 'exacting too
high a price, financially and
scholastically."
The Dean said he had received
many letters from former players
and others interested in college
athletics who praised Penn State
for its espousal of this cause and
expressed the hope that the Col
lege would not relent in its en
deavor to have both eliminated
from the athletic scene.

Sophs May Not
Figure In '5l
Football Plans
Except for the quarterback pos
ition, where there are no hold
overs, sophomores are not expect
ed to . figure heavily in Penn
State's 1951 football plans.
Lettermen and other hold-overs
number 30 or more, presaging a
tough fight for the sophomores
who will be bidding for starting
assignments when pre - season
drills open in August.
Most . vutstanding in Spring
drills were Pete Schoderbek, 190-
pound guard of Duquesne, and
Don Malinak, former all-school
boy end of Steelton. The quarter
back job, of course, is a wide open
affair between Tony Rados, Steel
ton; Bob Szajna, Reading; • and
Frank Minana, Yohnstown, Rados
looked good in Spring drills.
Still others who may break into
the picture if varsity losses are
abnormally heavy because of
draft or academic difficulties are
Harry Settino, Bronx, N. Y., and ,
Torn McCurdy, Avalon, both
guards; and Keith Vesling, Clar
endon; Wayne Wolfkeil, Wilkes-
Barre; Buddy Rowell, Erie; Ken
Newman. New — York; Jimmy
Finn, Williamsport Don' Eyer,
Chambersburg; Nick Firda, Tay
lor; and Dick Jones, Bellevue; all
potentially useful as offensive or
defensive backs.
