Captained by veteran miler /Pat Duffy, the Jaspers took •up yvhere they left off in their banner indoor season and have been rolling along 'in. high gear ever s Engle Advocates Quarterback Club, For Television Charles (Rip) Engle,-Penn State football coach, believes a tele vision "quarterback club" might be one answer 'to the manifold problems created by the advent of video. Under Engle's plan, TV would choose key , games each week, film the play-by-play, and project them early the following week with the two opposing coaches, or the winning Coach alone, doing the commentary. "Quarterback clubs," says the Penn State coach, • "are popular all over the nation. These groups meet with their coaches each Mon day or Tuesday, study the films, and hear the coach explain key plays, outstanding performances, and other inside information." It's Engle's contention, for ex ample, that Pitt games could be projected on this basis in the Pittsburgh area,' Penn games in the Philadelphia area, and other games in their own home terri tory. "The interest would be there, certainly," Engle explains, "and fans would feel happy and satis fied if they had the opportunity to view the game again and have the highlights dramatized for them by coaches." Rain Reigns Over Lacrossmen By TOM SAYLOR Rain reigns, or if you prefer, rains reign; over the Penn State lacrosse team. After three unsuccessful at tempts to play a home match without the elements "p o u r i n g forth," Coach Nick Thiel's charges will have to wait until next year if they have any such hopes. Jupiter Pluvius reigned on Penn State in its home opener against Washington and Le e. Even so, State walked off With a 7-6 decision. The. rain, however, w.a s no indication of what was to come as State dropped the • second and third contests—the first to Rut gers and the second to _Cornell. In defense of 01' Jupe, however, it must be said that the rain let up in the last two games, although State probably wished that it would have rained harder—and . maybe have gotten colder as it was against Washington and Lee. Psychologically speaking, State will act as' "escapists" when it tries to avoid both rain and de feat Saturday at Hobart. Last year at Hobart, the Nittany Lions upset Coach Fr ancis (Babe) Krouse's men, 17-10. It was only the second l loss in flicted on the New Yorkers.

Sports Briefs Sports Thru The Lion's Eye By JAKE HIGHTON Collegian Sports Editor Age can and has withered Joe Bedenk—slightly—since his All- American guard days in 1923 for Nittany gridders, but custom cannot stale the infinite variety of winning Penn State baseball teams Bedenk has turned out since only the -record book knows when. The fact that the Old Professor of Nittany baseball has had only one losing season in all his years the record book says 22 —as State's head coach, will probably be overlooked this afternoon in the pre-game warmup ceremonies preceeding the Penn State- Temple diamond tussle. After all, the bronze plaque Bedenk will receive from the American Association of College Baseball is for•2s years of service to collegiate baseball. The citation isn't likely to say anything about won-lost records. So just for the record, it might be mentioned that en route to having only one losing season, Bedenk's ballclubs have hit the win column, 237 times and wound up on the wrong side of the ledger only 103 times. (In order to make the Silver Anniversary Club of diamond coaches, Bedenk gained five years prior to coming to State. This early coaching was picked up at Rice Institute, Tex., and at the U. of Florida.) One of the major causes Bedenk has been so "very, very for tunate" in staying out of the red is the spirited hustle and drive displayed by an always abundance of talent which reports every year. Even more remarkable about the winning-ways of Nittany baseball is the Northerly clime the team must drill in during the early months—under, the stands in cold, cold February. Despite the honors Bedenk has gathered in bushelfuls, one has eluded him constantly in recent years—the NCAA playoff berth. In 1948 his club got by Seton Hall and Rutgers in District 2 play but fell before St. - Johns 7-5 in the final. This year it appeared as if Bedenk might make it. But after winning 10 straight; NCAA talk sent the pressure mounting and the Nittany nine spiraling downward fast. Although not mathematically eliminated from NCAA contention, the noose is just about drawn tight. By winning all three remaining games, luckily two are on invincible-to-date Beaver Field, State can end up with a 15-4 record—the same record Princeton owned when chosen to play in Omaha last year. The Lions lost only three last year to the opposition but the Rain swept eight others and gave the Lions a 10-3 mark and the Tigers a playoff spot. This year the rain has been extra kind, but the oppo sition has been most unkind of late. It is approaching two outs in the ninth—never too late—for Bedenk to have one of his regrets wiped out this year. But Pop Time is likely to wipe out another of the Professor's regrets: namely, that he "doesn't have 25 more years to give to college baseball."
