Captain Teams
For the remainder of spring
drills, Penn State’s football team
will show a sharp division of
loyalties, with Coach Rip Engle
having divided his squad into
Blue and White elevens which
battle April 26 in the second
annual Bucket Bowl scrimmage.
Yesterday on Beaver Field the
Lions began the second half of
the 20-day spring session which
will have its grand finale in the
intra-squad game. The season
culminating Blue-White contest
was played last spring for the
first time.
Earl Bruce, Jim O’Hara, and
Frank Patrick will coach the Blue
squad and A 1 Michaels, Joe Pa
terno, and Sever Toretti will guide
the White team.
Spirits High
One of the Ripper’s main head
aches in the spring drills, has been
the comparatively short time each
individual athlete has been able
to practice. With drills ending at
5:45 p.m. and many of the players
having late afternoon classes,
each player has averaged only one
hour’s practice pet day.
The first ten days of practice
held before the holidays were
marked by a spirit, morale, and
enthusiasm which Engle termed
“excellent.”
Squads led by co-captains Stew
Sheetz, Blue, and Joe Gratson,
White, are made up of:

Sax !o Compete
At Seton Hall
For Olympics
Ollie Sax, former Nittany Lion
sprinter who dropped from school
in February, will attempt to
prove in the Seton Hall relays to
morrow that he is the U.S. No. 1
hope in the 400 meter Olympic
competition.
Although the East’s outdoor
track inaugural will feature four
world record holders and'a full
dozen national* champions, the
main interest will be in the race
between 20-year old Sax and
Herb McKenley of Jamaica, hold
er of the world quarter-mile
record.
At a luncheon in New York,
Sax conceded that his main head
ache was McKenley. In addition
to the Jamaica flash, he faces,
among othersjn the 400, Reggie
Pearman, former National ■ AAU
800 meter champ; Hugh Maiocco,
National AAU 600 meter titlist in
’5O and ’5l; and John. Nelson and
Harry Bright, top-notchers from
the New York Pioneer Club.
Last season, Sax paced assistant
Coach Norm Gordon’s frosh squad
to a 3-1 record. Ollie also erased
the quarter mile record of 50.6,
set in ’42 by Cliff St. Clair, run
ning the course with a fast 49.4
clocking. ’
Rutherford Gets Ist Look
At Lion Goff Candidates
Coach Bob Rutherford got his first look at the Penn State golf
team candidates Tuesday and Wednesday when the linksmen shot
a couple of rounds over the College course.
Scores were bad on Tuesday when the team played in a driving
rain but on Wednesday the Lion golfers managed to clip off a few
strokes. Gordon Stroup was low
man on Wednesday with a 72.
The next top three men' were
Rod Eaken with a 74,; Warren
Gittlen with a 75, and Bill Albert
a 77.
“The team looks just fair, but
with a lot of hard work the men
should develop,” Rutherford said.
Rutherford" has scheduled an
informal match with the Centre
Hills Country Club tomorrow and
several matches to be played be
tween the candidates.
Also a final series of elimina
tion rounds will be played on
Tuesday to pick the seven best
men for the team.
“This team is considered a green
one with only two lettermen back
and with five more places to fill.
The majority of the team will be
new men,” Rutherford said.
Three lettermen were expected
back this year but an injury
has sidelined John Wylie, leaving
Captain Bob Bowers and Hud
Samson the only veterans' on the
team.
