Blue Gridders Favored
To Win Bucket Bowl
With New Year’s Day still" eight
months away, 7 Penn State grid
ders will get off to an early start
in the parade of bowl games when
they clash in the second annual
Bucket Bowl intrasquad scrim
mage at 2 p.m. tomorrow on Bea
ver Field.
Coach Rip Engle’s "prospects for
the fall season, divided into. Blue
and White teams, will battle in
a “live” football game to wind
up their ■ 20-day spring practice
session.
Superior reserve strength and
a Tugged line weigh heavy in the
favor of the Blues' and justifies
their one touchdown favorite ra
ting over the Whites. ■'
Blues Seek to' Repeat
Sever Toretti, Wfiite coach
along with Joe Paterno and A 1
Michaels, admits a shortage of
material but expects this de
ficiency to be made -up by the
superior fight and spirit of the
Whites.
Blue coaches, Earl Brpce, Jim
O’Hora and Frank Patrick, are
confident their team will repeat
the 7-0 victory ground out by the
Blues last spring in the first
Bucket Bowl.
Short on reserves, the Whites
will rely largely on one platoon
for both offense and defense
whereas the Blues will have sepa
rate squads, with few exceptions,
for both offense and defense.
Starting Lineups
However, the Blues have been
hard hit at the ends with John
Knox, Bob Rohland and Jesse
Arnelle all unavailable for fur
ther duty this spring. On the
other.side, the Whites will be
without- the services of guard Don
Barney who has left school.
Probable starting lineup for the
Whites on offense is Don Malinak
and Joe Yukica, ends; Joe Grat
son (captain) and Gene Danser,
tackles; Orv Haldeman and Sam
.Green, guards; Bob Smith, center;
Buddy Rowell, left half; Pete
Sh.opa, fullback; Bob Szajna,
quarterback; and Don Eyer, right
half.
Starting offensively for the
Blues will probably be Jim Gar
rity and Jack Sherry, ends; IJerb
Raifsnider and Stew Scheetz (cap
tain), -tackles; 1 , .Pete Schoderbek
and Don Shank, guards; Ed Wible,
center; Dick Jones, left half; Bob

straight victories.
State has not beaten Lafayette
since 1949, and is faced'with an
other strong Leopard team this
year. Led by outfielder and clean
up man, Gordon Leslie, the Leop
ards have piled up a 5-2-2 record
this spring.
Lafayette has won over Mora
vian, Swarthmore, LaSalle,
Princeton, and Fort Eustis (Va.),
dropping games to Fort Eustis and
Colgate. The Leopards played a
1-1, nine-inning tie with Navy,
and tied Muhlenberg, 5-5, in an
eight-inning contest Wednesday.
Leslie, before the Muhlenberg
game, was hitting at a .485 clip.
Lafayette came up with a real
prize this year in southpaw Ron
ald Owen, a freshman hurler who
had allowed just one unearned
run in 19 innings prior to Wednes
day’s’encounter. It is quite possi
ble that, due to the Lions’ im
pressive record, Owen may get
the call in tomorrow’s crucial bat
tle.
Bedenk has used just four
pitchers in the first seven games
this season,. and three of these
hurled 57 o'f the 59 innings played.
Righthander Bill Everson has ap
peared in, four games, and come
up with a 3-0 slate.

Manhattan Def
(Continued from page six)
Michigan’s distance medley,
which just last weekend ran a
9:56.3 world record mark. With
such high-geared Canadian run
ners as Jack Carroll (440 in
0:46.1), Captain Don McEwen
(4:09.2 mile), and John Ross
(3:02 three quarter), the chances
are that a new Carnival mark
will be set and possibly another
world record.
Probably State’s best chances
will rest with frosh Smith in the
two-mile race. Smitty probably
won’t take first, second, or third,
but stands an outside chance of
finishing in the top five.
Competition is keen in this
event, and before Smitty accom
plishes such a feat, he’ll have to
battle with of the seven
fastest college two-milers in the
business. They are Army’s Dick
Shea (9:05.8), IC4A champ; Me-
