Blue,White Spiritsßun High
For Bucket Bowl Grid Clash
By JAKE HIGHTON
;Spirits are running high'
among Penn State’s football
team which is as sharply split
as" the. Civil War North and
South'over the Blue-White
intrasquad Bucket Bowl bat
tle Sat urday afternoon on
- EJeaver Field.
:Wh i t e Captain Joe Gratson,
stalwart defensive backerup for
Hip Engle’s team last fall, fear
lessly predicts victory for his
team. The stocky, 210 pound tac
kle promised some trick plays
and “secrets” for the Blue team
come game time, 2 p.m.
Wise to Coaches' Ways
Gratson appraised the two ele
vens 1 thusly: “We have the speed
and brains, they have the weight
and brawn.”
From the Blue squad’s point of
view, Captain Stew Scheetz was
less disposed to talk about the
game which “was still a long way
off.” Stew, apparently well ac
quainted with ways of football
coaches, hung out the crying
towel.
Blues Sure of Outcome
The 240 pound bulwark at de
fensive tackle last fall moaned,
“Gratson got all the material and
it will be a pretty tough game.”
Stew said he “didn’t know how
the game would turn out.”
However, the rest of the Blue
team ’had no doubts about the
outcome' and were quite vocifer
ous in telling all listeners.
Tickets Cost $l.OO
The game is being sponsored by
the alumni with receipts desig
nated for the athletic tutoring
fund.
Tickets 1 for admission to Beaver

Doak Walker Injured
As if poor stick handling and inclement weather weren’t enough,
Penn State’s lacrosse team received another jolt when attackman
Doak Walker sprained his ankle and will be unable to play in State’s
home opener today against Washington and Lee.
The match is scheduled for 3:30 on the golf course.
Walker, one of Coach NiclC Thiel’s best ball handlers and scorers,
will probably not play against
Penn either and Thiel will use
Bob Koons in ‘his place. Crease
man Tom Goldsworthy and Dick
Itostmeyer round .out the attack.
At midfield, Captain Bud Wol
fram, Wayne Hockersmith, and
Johii Yohman- will get the nod
while Barr Asplundh, John Henry,
and Johii Ahiber will open at de
fense. Sophomore Don Bell will
start at goal.
The W &. L Generals, coached
by Ben Collins, have already
played six - games, winning four
of them. The Virginians have de
feated Oberlin, Kenyon, Ohio
State, and Lehigh and'have. lost
to Maryland and the Mt. Wash
ington Lacrosse club
State/ on the other hand, has
played only two games, losing to
Loyola of Baltimore, 5-2, and to
Navy, 21-0.
Penn State’s attack could very
well decide the issue as it played
anything but good lacrosse against
Loyola and Navy.
As to the game itself, Collins
expects a “close game” with the.

Trackmen Compete
In Relays Tomorrow
Over 500 college and"high school outdoor track teams will sprint
into action tomorrow and Saturday afternoons in an Olympic pre
view as the 58th annual Penn Relay Carnival at Franklin Field,
Philadelphia, gets underway.
The event will also mark the unveiling of Coach Chick Werner’s
19th campaign as Penn State track tutor, and the first test of the
season for his thinclads.
At 2:35 p.m. tomorrow, State’s
440 relay squad of Bill Polito,

cope with pre-favorite Manhat
tan, Morgan State, Seton Hall, and
NYU. The Jaspars, who are ex
pected to retain'their title, posted
a 42 second clocking last week,
which is only .9 less than the
meet standard set in ’36 by Texas.
The 880 relay trials, at 3:50 p.m.
tomorrow, will have Penn State
competing with Seton Hall, Man
hattan, and others. Manhattan
.should win the event and might
possibly lower the standard of
1:25.4. Each of the State • four
some will sprint 110 yards in the
440 and 220' yards in the- 880
relay.
In the two mile, frosh Lamont
Smith and sophomore Bob Hol
len will battle Army’s IC4A
champ, Dick' Shea (9:05.8), and
Michigan’s NCAA titilist (9:04.6),
Don McEwen.
Discus thrower Bill Body has
Swedish Olympian Roland Nils
son of Michigan and Bill Miller
of- Navy Olympics to contend
with.
The last event on tomorrow’s
agenda will feature the distance
medley trials. State’s squad will
consist of Bob Roessler running
the 880 leg, Roy Brunjes the 440
leg, Bob Gehman three-quarter

against Michigan, Manhattan, and

Michigan’s top-notch quartet,
which last Saturday ran under
the world record in the event,
9:56.3, j is a strong favorite to
crack the Carnival • standard of
9:59.4, set - in ’3B by North Texas.
As a matter of fact, they might
lower the world’s standard.
The Wolverines have a pair of
Canadians who have run the fast
est two college’ miles of the cam
paign in John Ross (4:09.4) and
Captain McEwen (4:09.6). They
also have Jack Caroll, who won
the Big Ten 440 crown in 0:48.8,
and numerous other speedsters
who have a good chance to win
the two-mile, four-mile, and dis
tance medley races.
