The Nittany i"ealln
Athletic Advisory Board
Scoops Movie Producers
We received a pUblicity blurb the other day from Columbia
pictures. Ordinarily, these journalistic gems from publicity hounds
find themselves in the wastebasket in short order.
But this one seemed sort of interesting for a change so we
thought we'd pass it along for what it's worth.
It seems that Columbia is putting out a film entitled "Saturday's
Hero." All about a paid football star. Instead of escaping unscathed
as in most football flickers, this guy gets his teeth kicked in regu
larly and practices football day and night. All this while his college
marks are being fixed by loyal alumni.
The upshot of it is, he finally gets a permanent injury and is
made to feel like a charity student so he leaves school, his edu
cation unfinished.
The film is timed to come out in the Fall, at the start of foot
ball season. However, it seems that Penn State has stolen the march
on Columbia. The 13-man Athletic Advisory board has succeeded in
getting two proposals to come under official examination when the
executive committee of the Eastern College Athletic Conference
meets September 6. k
The executive committee of the ECAC will discuss elimination
of the Spring practice and "the question of limited substitution
in football."
So it seems -that if these two proposals meet with agreement
from the ECAC, Penn State will be leading the way in helping to
alleviate some of the more demoralizing situations that are de
picted in "Saturday's Hero."
Ted Robertson, number one man on the Penn State golf team
last year, took-sixth place in the 72-hole Pennsylvania public links
golf tournament.
Robertson, who has never won even a district tournament, held
a slim lead going into the second round of the tournament held on
his home course in Hershey.
He carded 37-33-70 for the first round to register the only
sub-par round for the first 18 holes. Par for the tricky Hershey
Park course is 71. The Penn State senior recorded a 79 and a 75 on
the final two rounds.
The winner of the, tourney was Johnny Luciani. He won with
a 10 under par total of 294, three strokes better than his nearest
opponent.
Steve Suhey, Penn State's all-American guard in 1947, will
coach Waynesboro High School's football team this Fall. He was
chosen on the recommendation of head football coach Rip Engle.
Engle began his coaching career at Waynesboro 20 years ago. Suhey
was a member of Penn State's Cotton Bowl team of 1947.
1952 will mark the first season since 1931 that the Nittany Lion
football team has played 10 games. And in 1931, the ten game card
was more or less of a freak since the tenth game was added only
to accommodate a request for an unemployment benefit affair. Be
fore that, the football team had last played 10 games in 1924. The
only newcomer to the 1952 football card will be William & Mary,
although Penn will be back after a four-year lapse.
