State's Reserve Air Arm
JOHN "CY" DUBINSKY AND 808 BAILEY, reserve quarter
backs behind Tony Rados and Bob Szajna, loosen up their
pitching arms in preparation for the grid season which opens
against Temple University a week from tomorrow on Beaver Field.
Both Cy and Don are sophomores and should be in the limelight
by the time they are juniors and seniors.
Harrier Hopefuls Begin
Workouts for Campaign
Although their first cross country meet is still three weeks
away, Coach Chick Werner’s ’52 returning hopefuls have been
doing daily jogs on the golf course in preparation for the op
ening gun with Cornell
'All athletes who have been working
will form the nucleus of this year’s squad.
Last season when the Nittany
harriers won five and lost one,
most of the sophs were coming
along nicely towards the end of
the campaign and were beginning
to keep up that grueling five-mile
pace.
Sophs Dominant
“Several of this year’s sopho
mores were good last season, and
should continue to improve,” Wer
ner, who assisted with the Olym
pic chores this past summer in
Helsinki, reported yesterday.
Such names as Smith, Chilrud,
and Hamill, among others, should
be carrying the brunt of the load
during the coming campaign,
during thecomingcampaign. Soph
omores Lamont Smith, John Chil
rud, Jim Hamill,Don Austin, Al-Ter
rall, Tom Demboski, Skip Slocum,
Dave Leathum, and Harry Bie
miller, were cited by Werner as
the foundation for his ’52 squad.
Loosening Up
The veterans, according toWer
ner, have been doing condition
ing jaunts twice daily. Such ex
ercising is quite essential in cross
country, since “there’s no use try
ing to time a guy for five miles if
he can’t run the distance,” was
Chick’s reply when we asked him
about the workouts.
“It (daily distance jogs) is the
most important part of cross
country training,” Werner contin
ued. “It’s a gradual process and it
takes quite some time before they
loosen up their muscles and get
used to the distance,” he added.
Werner and his assistant Norm
Gordon haven’t been clocking the
seasoned performers, and don’t
intend to do so until October.
Right now the returnees are set
ting their own paces and doing
work on the side.

Getting back to the soph pros
pects, one name that’s very fa
miliar to State track fans is
Smitty. The short, stocky, blonde
haired hill-and-daler will again be
toiling in cross country ranks for
only the second year in his young
athletic career.
A rarity last season when he
romped off with a victory in the
first collegiate harrier race of his
life, Smitty should carry a great
deal of weight this season when it
comes time for computing first
place points. A die-hard who runs
his heart off even in practice ses
sions, Smitty is hoping to take up
where he left off last year.

Opponents of Penn State’s football team will find mighty tough going if they try to
dent the center of the Nittany line this fall. For in the tackle and guard slots the Lions
are well stocked with veterans who should prove to be rugged individuals.
With four tackle lettermen and three guard returnees, State seems well fortified

Baseball
Parade
By BARRY FEIN
It seems that the National
League has once again caught
that strange baseball d i s e a s e—
constriction of the standings. Med
ical experts say that there is no
known cure except the daily in
jection of pitching into the veins
of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The latest attack of this dis
ease saw the Giants pull to
within three and a half games
by sending the Pathetic Pir
ates down to their 103rd loss of
the season, 5-4, yesterday.
A combination of homers by A 1
Dark and Sal Yvars plus an error
by catcher Joe Garagiola of the
Bucs gave Sal Maglie his 16th
win as against 6 setbacks.
Reliefer Hoyt Wilhelm’s knuck
ler was also a big factor in the
win, striking out Gus Bell and
Ralph Kiner after a
let in one run.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, put
together seven unearned runs, in
cluding a grand slammer by-Andy
Pafko, in a vain attempt to beat
the Chicago Cubs, who rocked the
wobbly Dodger staff for 11 runs.
The game was a loosely-played
affair which included 22 hits and
seven errors. Smalley hit his fifth
homer off the bespectacled Clyde
King, and, with South Carolinian
Joe Landrum on the hill in the
eighth, Hank Sauer doubled in his
120th run of the year.
Bob Rush (15-12) got the victory
over Billy Loes (13-8).
The disease has its counter
part on the other side of the ma
jor league fence. The Indians
moved to within a half game of
the Yankees as Bobby Avila's
fourth-inning homer gave them
a 1-0 shutout over Harry Byrd
and the Philadelphia Athletics.
Big Bear Mike Garcia racked
up number 20 as against nine de
feats. He has now tossed 28 con
secutive scoreless innings.
The sweep of the three-game
series gives the Tribe a string of
eight straight v/ins, the league
high for the year.
In the also-ran department,
the Washington Nats finally
broke their losing streak by
beating the White Sox. A three
run outburst in the sixth broke
up a tight duel between Walt
Masterson of the Senators and
Joe Dobson of the Sox. Bach
allowed only four hits.
The last-place Tigers continued
to harass the Boston Red Sox by
squeaking past them 5-4. Big Walt
Dropo’s two homers and pinch
hitter Jim Delsing’s tie-breaking
single in the eighth handed the
blushing Red Sox their tenth
straight defeat on the road.
Yesterday was Satchel Paige's
birthday. Satch, you know, is a
rather elderly hurler for the
Brownies. Archeologists study
ing hieratic writing claim to
have found his birthdate. Some
say the dates are too weather
beaten to decipher his age.
Anyhow, he, keeps his ERA
down around 3.00, which would
even be considered good in the
Lower Nile Valley League.

destinies.
smith and guard Len Bartek.
The guards and tackles, like
the majority of the team, will be
seeing both offensive and defen
sive duty. Coach Rip Engle ex
plains it this way: the first team
offensive line is the second and
third team defense and the first
team defensive line is the second
and third team offensive line.
Heading up the tackles are Co
captains Joe Gratson and Stew
Scheetz. Gratson. a converted
center, will still be in his smash
ing backerup spot on defense, but
will play the right tackle slot
on offense. Senior Joe is 6 feet
and weighs 210. His cohort Scheetz
will be holding down his old spot
as defensive right tackle. Stew is
one of the biggest men on the
squad and nothing to be messed!
with at 235 pounds.
At the other defensive tackle
position, soph Rosey Grier is a
good bet for a' starting role he
held toward the end of last season
when he was one of three frosh
winning letters. Rosey stands 6-5,
230, and has looked pretty good
this year.
The scholastic ineligibility of
Andy Balakonis, who would have
easily made the first or second
team, has left Gene Danser and
Herb Raifsnider. best bets to hold
down one of the other starting
offensive positions. Danser is on
ly a sophomore at 6-3 and 208
while Raifsnider is a senior scal
ing 6-3, 215.
A 1 Bowden, 6-1 and 240, and
Danny De Falco. 6-0 and 210, are
in strong contention for the de
fensive tackle positions and
should see much action behind
Grier and Scheetz. Jim Eshbach
and Paul Shattuck will be in re
serve at the tackle posts.
The offensive guard positions
appear to be well manned with
letterwinners Pete Schoderbek
and Don Barney showing the way.
Schoderbek is a rugged 195 poun
der who won’t let an opponent
forget he is around, and senior
Barney is a veteran of two pre
vious varsity campaigns. Pete’s
only a junior.
At the defensive guard spots,
Carl Pfirman and Sam Green
have shown the best. "And sur
prisingly enough, both are soph
omores. Pfirman, an offensive
tackle, goes 202 and stands 6-1
while Green is a former Potts
town High backfield star con
verted to the line by the coach
ing staff. Sam is a 198 pounder,
standing 5-1 i.
Another If :shman letterwinner
last year, IV n Shank, is pushing
both the defensive and offensive
guard frontrunners extremely
hard. Shank is a Norristown lad
who is 5-11 and 198.
