Following the birth of intra

olisly won a var
sity letter, ac
cording to Gene
Bischoff and
Dutch Sykes, di
rector and assist
ant respectively,
of the IM pro
gram

touch football in
the fall and ending with soccer
in the spring, there are 17 IM
Penn, Pitt Oldest Rivals
Penn and Pitt are the two old
est rivals on - , Perm State's 1952
football schedule.. The Lions first
met the Quakers in 1890 an d
Pittsburgh in '1893. The Lions,
however, have ‘ played the Pan
thers more often than Penn. Com

Softball was dropped from the

lack of playing field facilities.
,Most of the IM contests are held
at night so that studenlrs might
more easily participate and to af
ford other students a greater
chance to "participate" as spec
tators.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Sure, we're not just kidding either. Ask any
upperclassman and he'll say, "my freshman year
was the best of my college career."
And while you're,asking that upperclassman,
see if he doesn't steer you straight on good car
service. He'll also say, "Sure, Jack Wimmer's
Sunoco Station is the place to get friendly, effi
cient, at-no-extra-cost service for your car ... he
has the finest automotive supplies too." _
dent which do not compete
against each other. The Indies
work for sterling silver medals
while the fraternity men work
as teams toward trophies. Points
for every win in any IM sport
are awarded to the various frat
ernities and the champion of the
entire fraternity division is
awarded a cup.
Approximately one in every
four undergraduates compete in
one or more phases of the pro

Ends and tackles number four

Sports Thru
The Lion's Eye
By JAKE HIGHTON
Collegian Sports Editor
Breathes there a student, in the fall of the y; is
so dead that he doesn't thrill from the top of his head to the tip
of his toes over the greatest collegiate show of them all—football?
Can there be any who aren't inebriated on a fall Saturday morning
by the thrill of Lord Football? Can any fail to catch the exhilaration
of two athletic armies battling with brawn and brain? Is there a
student who doesn't tingle at the dazzling run, the jarring tackle,
the spectacular leaping catch, the "crisp block, the goal line heroics
or the sustained march to a touchdown?
For those whose souls aren't dead, Penn State's Graduate Man
ager . of Athletics "Ike" Gilbert, class of 1926, has booked the
Nittany grid team with a schedule to satisfy the most lusty of
football lovers. State's first 10-game grid slate in 21 years has a
threefold beauty:
First, the schedule has big names with a well-balanced, cos
mopolitan flavor. The Lions meet hardy perennials of the Midwest,
Michigan State, Nebraska an d
Purdue. Games are on deck with
two of the East's football strong
hold, Penn and Pitt. And the
Nittany twenty-two will tangle
with football representatives from
below the Mason-Dixon, William
& Mary and West Virginia.
In the second and most im
portant
,place from the student
standpoint, five of the games will
be played. on State's Beaver Field
where 30,000 seats provide plenty
of room for all. The Lions host
Temple, Purdue, William & Mary,
Nebraska and Rutgers in that
order, with the first three open
ing the season.
Third, and what isn't likely to
make the Nittany coaching staff
do handsprings, is the potential
All-Americans gracing the lineups
of Penn State's opponents. Several
of the pre-season stars probably
will turn up in the sports writers' "Flop of the Year" polls, but the
biggest majority will undoubtedly flash painfully through the dreams
of Engle, Michaels, Paterno,, O'Hora, Toretti and Bruce.
The imposing array of predicted All-Americans or All-Confer
ence gridders among State's opponents is headed by the• Touchdown
Kid, Bobby Reynolds, Nebraska's 1950 scoring champ of the nation.
Purdue's passing sensation Dale Samuels will have more than one
professional scout watching the boilermakers Saturday afternoons.
"Pore little ole" Michigan State lost All-Americans Bob Carey and
Don Coleman, but the Spartans figure to have more than adequate
replacements in nearly everyone's All-Ameridan rosters in the
persons of end Paul Dekker and center Dick Tamburo. Pennsyl
vania can't miss with at least one All-American from its three
chances, end Ed. Bell, tackle Bob Evans and plunger Joe Varaitis.
Coming down to likely All-Conference stars on the Nittany
schedule, West Virginia end Paul Bischoff really plucks the leather
out of the air. William & Mary can brag of mammoth tackle John
Kreameheck and Syracuse backs will be glad to have' tackle Bob
Fleck in the line.
'lke' Gilbert
"It's a Jim Dandy schedule and should 'provide plenty of
thrills and excitement for students "with a soul." And, as sure as
if winter comes spring cannot be far behind, so if school starts the
football season cannot be far behind. In fact, the gala grid season
is less than two weeks away from infecting the Nittany campus.
All-Winning Team
Charlie Speidel's wrestlers, un
beaten in 20 straight matches,
posted Penn State's only all-win
ning record in 1952,
Penn State's athletic trainer,
Charles (Chuck) Medlar. had to
give up his Olympic assignment
because of an injured wrist.

Ca-Captain Is Giant
Co-Captain and tackle Stewart
Scheetz, of Lansdale, Pa., once
again will be the biggest man
on the Penn State football squad.
Scheetz, who currently weighs
250, will get down to 235-240 by
season's start. The big fellow is
newly-married.
