Flying Boilermakers to Attack Through Air
Samuels, Dealer in TD's, to Supervise
Purdue's T' With Tossing Tactics
The air ways certainly are a boon to Purdue University’s football team.
Not only do the Boilermakers fly to their football games, as they will for tomor
row’s Beaver Field clash with the Lions, but during the last two years Purdue has fre
quently taken to the air lanes to win- ball games.
With southpaw Dale Samuels, the quarterback responsible for Purdue’s outstanding
aerial game, back in harness, fans can expect Purdue to be probing for the weak
neses in Nittany pass defense which Temple found last week.
'Game of Week'
The Penn State-Purdue foot
ball game tomorrow at Beaver
Field has been named “Game
of the Week” by Mutual
Broadcasting System.
A 1 Heifer will broadcast the
encounter on a nation-wide
hook-up with Stan Lomax do
ing the color.
A 15-station Pennsylvania
network sponsored by Chev
rolet dealers also will make its
debut tomorrow, with Bob
Prince, veteran Pitts burgh
sportscaster, at the play-by
play. His color aid will be Bob
Wilson, formerly of State Col
lege, now of Lewistown.

Samuels, equally effective with
strikes from far or short, con
nected on five of 10 forward
passes including two touchdowns
heaves of 34 and 11 yards which
helped drop the Lions, 28-0, last
vear in Indiana.
Also helping Purdue’s passing
picture is the return of the best
half of Samuels’ supporting cast
last year. End Bernie Flowers,
6-1, 189 pounds, was Samuel’s
favorite target, latching on to 24
passes for 222 yards. Another of
Samuels’ pet receivers last year
who will probably be conspicu
ous again tomorrow is halfback
Phil Klezek. Twice last year the
speedy Boilermaker romped to
paydirt with Samuels’ passes.
Stellar Backs
Although it is customary to N give
Samuels and passing, the biggest
headlines when discussing Pur
due, the Boilermaker ground at
tack is not to be overlooked. In
fact, tomorrow the Purdue ground
gaining yardage is likely, to quad
ruple that gained in the air. Such
was the case last year when the
Lions were getting their lumps.
Purdue will bring to Beaver
Field tomorrow nearly every one
of its stellar backs which rolled
up an average of 4.48 yards per
play—tops in the Big Ten as was
Purdue’s team scoring total of
23.2 per game.
Fullback Max Schmaling is the
man the Lions will have to stop
on the ground. A topflight quar
termiler with 195 pounds force,
Schmaling runs with his knees
practically socking his chin. Last
year Big Max picked up an aver
age of* 4.24 yards every time he
carried the ball.
Rock-Ribbed Line
At righthalf Purdue has a host
of scatback letterwinners who
characterize the depth and exper
ience of the entire Big Ten pow
erhouse.
Probable starter in this group
is 159 pounder Rex Brock who
picked up better than five yards
per try last year. Others at right
half will be soph Ed Zembal, jun
ior Tom Redinger and senior Jer
ry Thorpe’.
the line Purdue will be
rock ribbed in the middle with
four topnotch guards. A 1 Hager,
rugged 185 pounder scrapper, is
the bulwark of a Purdue line.
Helping Hager are "three other
varsity experienced huskies in
Jack Houston, Tom Bettis, and
Tom Roggeman.
Tackle position for Purdue is
even more solidlv stacked with
seven lettermen. Dave Whiteaker,
Walt Viellieu, Joe Wojtys, Billy
Bruner, Ken Panfil, and Ray
Pacer are the giants in the line
for the Boilermakers.
Family Affair
A Rutherford has been at the
helm of Penn State golf ever since
the sport was founded in 1922. Bob
Rutherford Jr., succeeded his fath
er as head coach three years ago.

BASEBALL 'PARADE
By BARRY FEIN
The New York Yankees are turning the “Valley of the Shadow”
into a veritable blinding holocaust as they took their third straight*' l
from the denizens of Boston’s Fenway Park yesterday, 3-2.
- Veteran Allie Reynolds let the Red Sox down with eight hits
in chalking up his first 20-win season, as the Bombers clinched at'*
least a tie for the Junior Loop
flag.
The Chief won his own game
when he broke up a 2-2 tie in
the top -of the ninth with a two
out single that sent Irv Noren
across.
Wiih the Indians three games
behind in the loss column, one
New York win or Tepee ‘loss
will embalm the bunting for
Yankee posterity.
The Yanks have three games
at Philadelphia and the Indians
have three with the last-place
Tigers in Auto Town.
A Yank flag is a foregone con
clusion. Beating the Red Sox in
the Fens shows that the old Ruth-
Cehrig-Diekey-type spirit is again
becoming aroused as the eve of
the Series nears.
* * *
The New York Giants, who
have yet to lose since the Dod
gers won the pennant, continued
their belated pennant drive by
beating the hapless Boston
Braves, 3-2, yesterday, thus as
suring themselves of second
place.
Jim Hearn started but was re
lieved in the ninth by 'ace reliever
Hoyt Wilhelm who took the decis
ion, his 15th and his second in
as many days.
Rookie catcher Ray Katt sin
gled home the decisive run in the
ninth, scoring Bobby . Thomson.
Katt, who -was brought up from
the farm at Minneapolis (AA), will
be a big factor in determining
whether Wes Westrum will re
main with the club next season.
Westy, who is prone to injuries
to his delicate hands, is hitting
about .223. .

gue game, 3-2, yesterday as he
fashioned a six-hitter against t\
the St. Louis Browns.
The game, a private affair for
two ball clubs and 569 fans, saw
the 12-year veteran become the !
third active player to ' win 200
games. Bob Feller pf the Indians
and Bobo Newsom of the Ath-,.
letics are the others. '
Harvey Kuenn, who was in
third grade the day Prince Hal
pitched his first Tiger game, gave
a helping hand by doubling home
Bill Tuttle from second in th£
sixth to make it 2-0.
The way the . Pittsburgh Pi
rates were going evidently
didn't help Coach Milt Stock's
health. He resigned yesterday
because of ill health. Seems that
the dank cellar air can lake its
toll in more ways than one.
Here's one: Who was the third
baseman who completed the
famous infield trio of "Tinker
to-Evers-to-Chance?" . . . We'll
tell you tomorrow . . . Cincin
nati rookie Jim Greengrass
must be using Vigoro the way
he's been hitting homers lately
. . . Ex-Brooklyn fireballer Rex
Barney is now pitching for a

minor leagues this year, but
with realignment and clubs
folding, you can look for a lot
less next year.
