SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1951 „ Co-Captians Betts, Shephard Face Grid, Marriage Problems Together Wilkinsburg's Art Is Looking Ahead To Last Pitt Game By DAVE COLTON If leadership is what it takes for a winning team, then Penn State opponents had better watch out. For in co-captains Art Betts and Len Shephard the Lions will have the highest type of field leadership. Tall, blonde, Betts came to the Nittany Realm from Wilkinsburg, Pittsburgh, wh6re he was a foot ball, basketball and baseball star. Regarded as a top-flight college football end prospect, he was sought by many schools, but says he has never regretted his choice ,of Penn State. The six foot three inch gridder spent his freshman year at Cali fornia. State Teachers College. Among his teammates was Len Shephard, destined' to : become his co-captain at State. Offensive End The 195 founder earned a let ter his sophomore year and was first string offensive end last season. One of the\ biggest thrills in his collegiate Career came when he caught his first touchdown pass against Georgetown in the opening game. Betts, believes the 1951, team is better ’'than last year’s squad at a comparable time. The quarter backs are more experienced in T-ball, he explained. Rados is a good passer and Szajna a com mendable ball-handler, he said.' . The rangy end regards Michi gan State as this season’s tough est opponent, but isn’t worrying about that game yet. “Every game will be rough, and we’ll have to take them as they, come,” he said. Injuries to key players can change the outlook of the whole year, he added. Wants to Beat Pitt - If Betts could have his choice of one game to win, it would have to be the Pitt contest. “I live in Pittsburgh, • and they kid me a lot, so I was really thrilled when we beat the Panthers in the “mud bowl last fall,” he said. . He -regards Nebraska’s Bobby Reynolds as the best,) player he’s ever' faced. “Reynolds doesn’t look too fast until you try to tackle him, then he uses a terri fic change of pace,” Betts said. He,also mentioned Rutgers’ Jim Monahan and Michigan State’s tackle Don Coleman among his top opponents. - Betts is married to Marjorie Guy,-his high "school sweetheart. He is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity,- but now lives with his wife in an apartment. A senior in. Physical Education and a member of advanced ROTC, he will., be .graduated in June. After he finishes his military hitch he wants to coach football or basketball. Aggbnis - (Continued from page six) nation. He completed 55 passes in 108 attempts for a total of 762 yards. He . quarterbacked a BU team that ranked sixth in the nation in total offense. His rush , ing. average was 5.4 yards per carry and his • punting average 46.5 yards. In pass interceptions ' he ranked 13th in the nation, . capturing seven for 126 yards in runbacks. Emulates Baugh Like any American boy, Ag ganis Had a hero whose Habits he tried to follow. Harry’s hero was Sammy Baugh, and through out his high school and college days he has worn the Washing ton Redskin ace’s 33. on ,his jer sey. Two years ago Lynn school officials voted to place Agganis’ No. 33 in permanent retirement. Though he is regarded as a sure-fire professional football prospect, Agganis’ baseball ability is equally outstandings A. fancy dan around first base, he hits .. a . Icing ball and is often rated fiiie • big league material. , '' ' Now that he has* been dis charged from the Marines and is back in action once more, Ag ganis will be out to prove once and for all that he is New Eng land’s greatest athlete.-?-* THE DULY COLLEGIAN, STATft PENNSYLVANIA , D-Day Near For Nittany Soccermen D-Day for the Penn State soc cer team will be Oct. 6, when Bucknell’s Bisons pay Coach Bill Jeffrey’s club a visit. The Lions shouldn’t have too much trouble irT' their opening contest, as the Bisons have shown little against State ever since-the series began. And this -, year should be no exception. ' . Against Bucknell,- State will also be trying to continue a win ning streak that was stopped last year by West Chester at. 21. Since then, the Nittanies have racked up two straight wins—s-1 'over Maryland and 3-1 over the Pur due Soccer Club in the soccer bowl. Veteran Backfield State will field a-team that is half-and-half as to experience. The forward wall is slightly green, but the backfield is com posed of veterans. State will open with Captain Ron Coleman as the sole letter man in the front line. Wingmen Jack Hess and Hap Irvin are rela tively inexperienced, although Ir vin did make the Irari trip. Jack Pinezich, who will play opposite Coleman at inside right, is only a second semester freshman. Cen ter forward Don Shirk, a sopho more, rounds out the front line. Good Attack State’s backfield, composed of Frank Follmer, right halfback; Kurt Klaus, center halfback; Jack Charlton, left halfback; Jay Simmons, left fullback; and Pdul Dierks, right fullback, is one that is going to give its opposition a lot of trouble. At. goalie, the Lions- will- open with either Jack Krumrine, who saw some action last year, or Dick Cheskis, a freshman from Phila delphia. Lion Harriers Record Good Times in Trial Whipped by a raw wind, Penn State’s harriers raced through a time trial yesterday on the golf course with clockings which compared favorably to those re corded by the national champions exactly one year ago. Bill Ashenfelter, Jack Horner and a surprising freshman, La mont, “The Bull” Smith led all varsity men home in 21:06 over a four-mile course. This time is only three seconds slower than Bill Ash, Bob Free bairn, and Dud Foster ran the same distance last year in fairer weather conditions. Depth Missing There the comparison ceases. This year’s squad cannot match the amazing depth the national champs had. A year ago in the similar trial, the eighth man came across in 21.30. Not so yesterday when the fifth man, , Pete Sarantopolous, didn’t reach the finish until 21:40. . Sophomore Red' Hollen scam pered home 10-yards behind the leaders yesterday in a good time of 21:13 to take fourth. / ( At the 2Va mile-mark Ashen felter and Sarantopolous led the field with Horner, Smith, Foster, and frosh John Chilrud, in ,a bunch right behind the paceset terS‘ 'Foster Sixth Foster came in sixth with 22:03. • Following Captain Dud were Bob Roessler, Chilrud, and sophomore Pete Judd in a three way knot for seventh place. Their time was 22:11. . Dave Pierson was 10th in 22:34. Trailing him ,'were John Davidson and Bob Gehman with marks of 22:48 and 23:01 respee tively. 13th Place In 13th place came Carl God shall with Dick Grice'and fresh man Lloyd' Slocum following in order close behind each other. Shephard Expects Gridders to Better Last Year's Mark Among the many football play ers who took marriage vows last summer were co-captains Art Betts and -Len Shephard. Both were married ‘ June 9—Shephard in Philadelphia, and Betts in Pittsburgh. Big six' foot, 210 pound Shep hard will climax his third year of varsity football at Penn State as a defensive halfback mixed with occasional offensive duties. The husky, athlete was a letter man in football, basketball, and baseball at Lower Merion High. He played fullback in Lower Mer ion’s single-wing .system. One of the' reasons he decided to enter Penn State was because it was a traditional single-wing team. Plays Basketball Too Like many other Lion gridders he spent his freshman year, at California State Teachers College. Besides .gridiron fullback duty, he also starred in basketball dur ing the winter months. At State, his sophomore year, he experienced one of his big gest thrills. He was named start ing fullback against Michigan State when Fran Rogel, one of the Nittanies’ . all-time greats, was injiired. Of course, being se lected co-captain his senior year tops his list of thrills. Last year Shephard saw action mostly on defense. He would rather play defense than any thing except running from the single-wing. “I’m too slow for of fensive fullback in the T-forma tion,” he said. Expects Belter Season Although not too over-optimis tic, he expects the team to win more games than last season. “Al most our entire defensive team has returned, and our offense is more experienced,” he explained. “Rip Engle is a great coach, and will produce some good ball clubs in the next years,” Shephard be lieves. ■ ' “Rados and Szajna are good T quarterbacks and passers. We also have more depth,” he added. But he cautioned that each game will be tough. “The team is not looking to any certain game but taking each one as it comes,” he said. “If any of our key players get hurt, it can change the whole season.” He thinks the team will have one of its toughest jobs this week in stopping Boston Univer sity’s Harry Agganis. Shephard is a commerce and finance major, .and will be grad uated in June; He is in advanced ROTC and expects to go to the army for two years after gradua tion. He wants to do sales work after his military duty, and might coach football if he has the op portunity. A member of Sigma Nu, he now lives with his wife, Jean Ferguson in an apartment. Sam Hamilton, Stan Lindner and soph Jim Cressman closed out the 18 positions. For the frosh not going the var sity distance, Jim Hamil strode 2 1/8 mile? in 11:18 to completely outdistance all his . rivals. Today Pitt, the Nittariies’ home opener next Saturday, will open their/ season against the tuneup opposition of Geneva and Slippery Bock. r Egypt ~ (Continued from page four) which has since lost its power when it was defeated by the Is raelis. The fact remains though that Farouk can get-next to the power factions of the Middle East. However, the age. old‘ mistrust of the British by the' Egyptians does cloud the picture and the Egyptian government is squabb ling with Britain for the . Suez canal, but circumstances show that Farouk and company are not entirely sure they wantJEiri tain to leave. They still remem ber the defeat by the Israelis. On that fact a compromise might, be accomplished. On it. may rest' the, fate of. a Mediter ranean pact, if the Western bloc choses to make a sweep around the.fringe, of the Mediterranean Sea.’ . The Lion's Lair When Penn State takes the field today against Boston University the Lions will be up against a team that is coached by one of the shrewdest football coaches in the country Buff Donelli. A great football player for Duquesne University back in the late ’2os, Donelli first entered the coaching field soon after his grad uation in 19 3 0 when lie took over as fresh man coach on the Bluff /in Pitts burgh. In 1936 he moved up as backfield coach- an din 193 9 became head coach and athletic director, During his stay at Duquesne, Donelli's team won 29, lost four, and tied two. During one streak the Dukes .won 18' straight, in 1941, Donelli accomnlished an almost impossible feat when he coached both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Duquesne at the same time. The Dukes went undefeated that year. After the Dukes dropped foot ball in 1943. Buff signed as an as sistant coaf'h of the row defunct Brooklyn Dodgers. He enlisted in the Naw in 1944 and was as signed to a V-12 unit at Columbia where he assisted Lou Little with the Columbia team. Since Donelli took over the rpigns at BU, his teams have won •20, and lost 13. including last week’s defeat at the hands of William & Mary. An exponent of the wing and snlit-T, "Buff's leans have scored in the double figures in 27 of the 33 games the Terriers have played under him. Although Buff is most widely known for his football coaching, he was also a great soccer player —so great, that he was recog nized as one of the all-tihne American soccer stars. The name “Buff’ was put on him as a youngster when his hero was Buffalo Bill. Thirty-one students in the School' of Mineral Industries at tained a 2.5 average or better during the spring semester, ac cording to Edward Steidle, dean of the school.
