Over Injuries and Back in the Lineup...
State, BU Clash Tomorrow
Return of Injured Gridders Raises
State's Hope for Win in Opener
Penn State’s hopes for a victory in its opening game tomorrow
with Boston University on Beaver Field reached a new high yester
day when State trainer Chuck Medlar gave the okay sign to
four Lion gridders who had been sidelined all week with injuries.
Medlar announced that wing
back Bob Pollard, tackle Dick
Cripps, tackle Jack Pfirman and
guard Don Barney would be
available at least for limited ac
tion.
Quarterback Tony Rados and
halfback Ted Shattuck, who were
also on the injured list, have al
ready returned to the lineup.
With Pollard, Cripps, Pfirman,
and Barney back, Penn State will
almost be at full strength for
the opener. Only halfback Buddy
Rowell and guard Pete Schoder
bek will miss the game.
Lineup Uncertain
Although Engle has not made
a final decision on his starting
lineup, the Lions will • probably
lineup offensively with Co-cap
tain Art Betts and Joe Yukica at
ends, Ed Hoover and Bill Hock
ersmith at tackles, Len Bartek
and Tom Pevarnik'at guards, and
Jim Dooley at center.
The backfield will probably
consist of Rados at quarterback,
Shattuck at halfback, Pollard or
Bill Leonard at wingback, and
Paul Anders at fullback.
Defensively, Engle will' prob
ably field Charlie Wilson and
Pat McPoland at ends, Stew
Scheetz and Cripps at tackles,
Don Barney and Joe Gratson at
guards, co-captain Len SheppaTd
and Joe Shumock as lineback
ers, Leonard and either Pollard
or Wayne, Wolfkeil at halfbacks,
and Chan Johnson at safety.
Non-Committal
Engle ,was non-committal on
the outcome of the game tomor
row.
“They’ve played one game al
ready. (BU lost to William and
Mary last Saturday, 34-25). I
really don’t know how tough they
are. If Agganis hadn’t returned
to Boston, I would feel much
more confident,” he said. “They
are saying up there that they will
be a lot stronger this week
against us than they were against
William and Mary.”
Knew 3 Plays
A story in a Boston paper
quoted Boston Assistant Coach
Steve Sinko after the W & M
game as saying that Agganis only
knew three plays for the William
and Mary game. The Boston
quarterback only had one day of
practice before the Terriers’
opener. He was just discharged
from the Marines last week.
Boston Coach Buff Donelli will
probably start an offensive line
up of Tom Oates and Bob Capu
ano at ends, Don Frazier and Joe
Barbagallo at tackles, Ray Cata
loni and Len D’Errico at guards,
John Pappas at center, Harry Ag
ganis at quarterback, John Kas
tan and Don Defeudis at half
backs, and Lou Petroka at full
back.

Behind Stands 'Taboo'
For IM Grid Teams
Intramural football teams,
both fraternity arid independ
ent, are requested by the IM
department and the varsity
football officials to refrain
from playing on the field be
hind the stands in Beaver Field.
Teams are requested to play
orily on the lower field where
the IM games are {scheduled.
ick Werner’s present cross-country
hard preparations for Pittsburgh’s
harriers who come here one week
from tomorrow.
Every team faced by State this
year, and each one is among the
strongest in the East, 1 wants to
garner some glory for their school
by beating the national collegiate
champion Lions.
. / Manhattan Eager
But if any of the Lioris’ ’5l foes
—Pitt, Cornell, Michigan State,
Army, NYU, and ■ Manhattan—
wants to beat the champs the
most, it must be Manhattan.
There is plenty of rankling left
in the mind of the Jaspar’s coach,
Ben Eastman-, over the way his
proud runners were unmercifully
trounced last fall by State.
Manhattan is perennially the
champ of New York City’s Metro
politan track games so it was
quite a shock to be trounced 23-38
by the Lions last fall.
Nitlany Rout
That day Bill Ashenfelter out
lasted both the Jasper’s aces Bill
Lucas and Pat Duffy to win but
that didn’t surprise/Manhattan’s
Coach Eastman as much as the
sight that followed. Bob Free
bairn, Bill Gordon, Dud Foster,
Don Ashenfelter and A 1 Porto
swept fourth through eight posi
tions successively to make it a
Nittany rout.
Eastman hasn’t forgotten that
deluge of Blue and White colors
and will really be after revenge
on Nov. 10 when the Lion har
riers travel to Gotham.
Another hill-a. n d-dale squad
with as much desire and as much
potential to upset the Lionfe as
Manhattan is track-p ower f u 1
Michigan State.
Spartans Walloped
A year ago the Spartans were
treated with more disrespect than
Manhattan as the mightly Lions
walloped them, 19-43.
The Spartans were without the
services that day of Dick Roberts.
Warren Druetzler, their best,
came up with a side stitch at the
four-mile mark.
But in return meets both at f the
IC-4A’s and the NCAA’s Penn
State beat them again.
With State’s national champion
ship ranks badly depleted this
fall, every foe figures this is the
year to repair some deep scars. -
Pigskin Pipe Dreams
The Collegian sports staff's football prediction contest enters <
its second week.'Co-captain Len Shephard represents the football'
team this week in its "guessing battle" with the sportswriters ,
big three.
Ernie Moore, sports editor, and Bob Vosburg, assistant sports .
editor paced the writers to their first week lead over the gridders'
with a .700 percentage. Co-captain Art Betts and assistant sports i
editor Dave Colton followed with a .600 mark.
This week the swamis will attempt to predict 15 top games. <
All of these contests will be played tomorrow. None of the games
include future Penn State foes: Toughest games of the week are
probably the Navy-Yale, Clemson-Rice, and North Carolina- *
Georgia tussles.
