Freshmen became eligible- in
1951 when the association feared
a manpower shortage due to the
Korean war, but reverted to the
original ruling this year.
The rule change in 1951 was
definitely to the advantage of
Penn State. Freshmen Jesse Ar
nell and Roosevelt Grier were a
big help to Rip Engle’s grid en
try last year, while Arnelle was
also the big gun on the Nittany
basketball squad last season.
Playing regular on the court
squad also, were freshmen Ron
Weidenhammer and Jack Sherry.
But this year it’s a different
story. Although some of the
Southern conferences are still
permitting freshmen to partici
pate this year, Engle will have to
rely on only sophomore, junior,
and senior material for his var
sity squad. While Bruce will form
the nucleus of the future varsity
gridders as frosh coach.
At the present time a tenta
tive schedule is being arranged
by graduate manager of athletics,
Harold “Ike” Gilbert and will be
announced soon.

4 Lettermen Return.
To Bolster Ends
(This is the first of a 'series on Penn Stale's football team
which will attempt to examine the squad position by position
to see who will represent State on -the gridiron this fall. Today—
the ends.)
Although Penn State’s football team will still rely heavily on
the two platoon system, the majority of Nittany ends will see plenty
of duty both on offense and defense.
' In fact, State’s wingmen will not only play both offense and
defense, but shortness of reserve will have Coach Rip Engle
occasionally alternating his ends from right to left side
Even though the Lions have
lost Art Betts, Chuck Wilson,
Andy Silock and Pat McPoland
through graduation, four return
ing lettermen should give the
Lions strength and experience at
the terminal positions—Joe Yu
kica, Don Malinak! Dave Simon
and Jesse Arnelle.
Senior Joe Yubica, 6-2 and
191 pounds, is looking good and
should be one of the Nittany
quarterbacks’ pet targets. Yukica
last year latched on to the third
most largest number of passes,
ten, while gaining 147 yards to
rank second to co-cap.tain Betts
in the end yardage department.
Engle says Joe is “in better con
dition, improved and a high class
kid.”
Another of Engle’s front line
receivers Don Malinak, is back
and ought to take up where he
left off last year as .recipient of
the most passes. 14, which netted
138 yards. The 6-1, 190 pound
Steelton junior should also see
some defensive action.
Almost strictly a defensive end,
senior Dave Simon will undoubt
edly be holding down a starting
position on Engle’s defensive pla
toon when the season starts one
week from Saturday. Smallest

end on the squad at 5-11, Simon
is a rugged 182 pound defender.
In sharp height contrast to Si
mon, Jesse Arnelle is the tallest
end among an unusually short
group. The 6-5, 218 pound Jesse
was kept well wrapped up dur

but when turned loose in the. Pitt
