THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER TB, 1952 Eaken Outclasses Pros To Cop PGA Tourney One of the top golfers on Penn State’s golfing team won the Central Counties P.G.A. Open Golf Championship of Pennsylvania Monday. Rod Eaken, sophompre sensation of last year’s golf team, shot a one-under par 71 to'take the Orlando W. Houts trophy. He barely squeezed by profes sional Johnny Weitzel of the Her shey Country Club who came in second with a 72. In taking the trophy, Eaken led a field of some 40 contestants, most of whom were professionals. Rod set a terrific pace on the out-going course with a 35. Com ing in, he fell off only one stroke to finish with a 36. Meanwhile, his closest contender. Weitzel, had a score of 36 each way for the 18-hole course. 3 Pros Card 74 Three other professionals came in third with 74’s. They were Ed Pianick from Fox Hill, Paul Tho mas, from York and Lorm Kelley, Pittsburgh. Two strokes behind them and coming into sixth place was Joe Boyle, assistant coach on State’s golfing team. Joe shot a 76. Rod was a big help to the Lion’s cause last golfing season, usually starting off in the number one position. Few Veterans Last Year Last year’s “green team” wasn’t expected to do much since very few veterans were returning from the ,’5l squad. But mainly on the basis of some fine bit of golfing by such men as Eaken, Gordon Stroup, Warren Settlen, Hud Samson, and Joe Webb, among others, the Lions got off to a fine start and won three out of their five matches. This year’s team should do even better since every one of the “green team,” with the exception of one, will be back.
