Mokes Boilermakers Hof PURDUE'S mite quarterback and professor "par excellence" of the Boilermaker's attack. Dale Samuels, will be on stage at Beaver Field Saturday afternoon featuring his southpaw aerial slants. The 5-9 passing phenom, a possible All-America candidate at the QB slot, will operate out of the T-lormafion. Saturday's tilt between the Lions and Boilermakers will be the latter's season THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Big Ten powerhouse Pur due, Penn State’s next Satur day visitor to Beaver Field, was really boiling toward the close of last season when it rolled to convincing victories in its last four games. With 29 lettermen returning from that Boilermaker squad which turned a losing year into a conference runnerup season, Purdue figures to give State a rough afternoon. 17 TD Passes One of the reasons the Indiana huskies will be so troublesome is pass master Dale Samuels, qmrterback, signal caller, and ball carrier. ' c During the last two year., Sam uels has completed 155 of 331 forward passes for a 47 per cent completion average and a total of 2023 yards. In addition. Sling ing Sammy has found receivers in or headed non-stop for the end zone 1-7 times. But the Lions can’t make the mistake of merely stopping Sam uels. Purdue will have practically every member of the backfield which last year led the entire Big Ten with an average gain per play of 4.48 yards. The Boil ermakers topped their rugged conference in scoring with an average of 23.2 points per game. Since Samuels was responsible for all of Purdue’s passing tallies —seven of them last year—a lot of backs must have been scoring the Boilermakers’ other 15 TD’s. Pile-Driver Schmaling Lefthalf for Purdue is well set with a sprinting letterman return ing in the person of Phil Klezik. Last year Klezik gained 441 yards and picked up an average of 6.12 .yards per carry. Perhaps the biggest threat to come out of Purdue Saturday— possibly a bigger threat than even Samuels —is a pile-driving full back. Max Schmaling. Big Max, an 195 pound dash man and quar ter-miler for the Indiana thin clads, tied Klezik for most touch downs last' year with six. At righthalf for Purdue will be the tiny but scampery Rex Brock. Only 159 pounds, Brock last year picked up a net yardage of 5.25 per eanr. Senators Obtain 'Twig' WASHINGTON (ZP)— I The Wash ington Senators baseball club an nounced today it had obtained in fielder Wayne Terwillinger on waivers from Brooklyn. Penn on TV? NEW YORK (ZP)—Asa Bushnell, director of the college TV pro gram, said today he didn’t expect an answer until tomorrow on the University of Pennsylvania’s re quest to televise Saturday’s foot ball game with Notre Dame in Philadelphia. Rex Brock (Purdue Halfback) Marciano Wins Title in Philly There’s no rest for the weary so once again ancient Jersey Joe Walcott, heavyweight champion of the World, went to the boxing wars last night to defend his title against a blockbusting youngster, Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano lifted the heavyweight crown from the aged head of Jersey Joe Wal cott with a 13th round knock out last night in Philadelphia. A smashing right to the jaw won the title. Meeting in the same Philadel phia Municipal Stadium squared circle that held the Gene Tun ney-Jack Dempsey title fight ex actly 26 years ago. Walcott and Marciano were expected to draw 50,000 in person and another 120,- 000 on video. .To make sports writers hark back to the night Gentleman Gene lifted the crown from as Man assa Mauler, rain appeared to be hovering over Philly. The Brockton Belter still ruled an 3 to 5 favorite of the betting mob and even a larger favorite among the writing gentry as fight time neared last night. Walcott owned a 10 pound weight bulge over Marciano in addition to years of experience and crafty ringmanship which the ' unpolished, brawling Rocky lacks. However, Marciano, unbeaten in 42 consecutive pro fessional fights, never knocked down or out, figured to become the first unbeaten world’s champion in the history of the Marquis of Queensbury game.

EAST LANSING, Mich.—The old belief that football players go to fat after their playing days has been refuted by a study at Michigan State- College. , Mark Hauser O'Donnell in a thesis for the degree of master of arts in physical education has put the lie to this popular theory. The purpose of the thesis, entitled "A Study of Longevity and Morbidity of Football Athletes at Michigan State College/' was to compare various characteristics of varsity football letter winners v/ith non-athletes. The Michigan State College football players included were those who participated frops 1928 through 1937. The non-athletes investigated attended Michigan State during the same period. The survey utilized a questionnaire developed by the Phi Ep silon Kappa Committee which is conducting a national longevity and morbidity study. The comparative weight tables developed by O'Donnell show that at graduation the mean weight of the athletes was 189 pounds and the mean weight of the non-athletes was 159. From graduation to 1952 the table shows that the athletes gained on the average nine pounds while the non-athletes gained sixteen. This was a percentage gain of 4.8 for the athlete and 10.3 for the non-athlete. Another finding that may prove valuable indicated that medi cal ailments are more prevalent among the non-athletes. The find ings of this study at Michigan Slate and at other schools across the nation have great potential value and could easily affect the future planning of sports programs everywhere.
