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.
'Jersey's' Boss
Wants Contract
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., (A>)—
Jersey Joe Walcott’s manager to
day said he will give Rocky Mar
ciano’s manager until fight weigh
in time Tuesday to sign a new
contract for a return bout “or the
fight will be off.”
“I’m not kidding,” said Felix
Bocchiocchio, Walcott’s manager.
“I want just a pure contract for
the return at 30 per cent in case
I accidentally lose.”
The “I,” naturally, referred to
Walcott, the 38-year-old heavy
weight champion, who is sched
uled to defend his crown against

nicipal Stadium Tuesday night.
The weigh-in is held at noon the
day of the fight.

A new system of numbering
football players will be introduced
by Louisiana i State this season.
The unique lettering will have
both a number and letter on the
player’s jersey.
. The system is expected to re
duce confusion among spectators
under the two-plato on system and
also to help sports announcers in
their spotting of players.
Offensive ends will wear jerseys
with E-l, E-2; guards will be G-l,
G-2; and the backs Q-l, L-l, R-l,
F-l, and so on. The left ,side line
men will wear odd numbers,
while the right siders will’ be
even.
The defensive team will be
numbered in the old manner.
The LSU experiment has been
approved by opponents and the
NCAA.

Last year’s football champs
were Alpha Tau Omega in the
fraternity bracket, and the Fire

ATO ruined Sigma Nu’s shot at

Fireballs, have disbanded and
will not field a 1952 edition.
