THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1952 Veteran End Simon . . . Used to Play Halfback By TOM SAYLOR "I've learned a lot from Rip. He has some good ideas, including some terrific pass patterris, and is a good football psychologist." That was senior Dave Simon describing his football coach, Rip Engle. And Simon should know what • good football coaches are made of, because he has ;been 'Slaying the game since high school. The 5 feet 11 inch end, for merly a right halfback at Browns ville High School, has been for tunate in playing for two top flight clubs in high school and at college. While at right halfback, Simon helped his cliib tear through • his junior and senior years undefeated in the tough Western Pennsylvania Interschol astic Athletic League (WPIAL). Weighs Only 180 At Penn State, Engle, always quick to spot hidden\ talent, con verted Simon into an end, where the dividends immediately paid off, The dividends paid the maxi.: mum amount this year, and Si mon, although he weighs only 180 pounds, more than made up for that lack of weight by hand fighting the blockers and light ning-like maneuvers. This year Simon has been one of State's most consistent defensive line man. Mounties Hit Hardest Has MiChigan State been the toughest game of the season thus far? "Michigan State had the best all-round team, but West Vir ginia hit the hardest, especially the first half," Simon said, re calling those two quarters that made "upset chills" run up and down Penn State's spine. Simon plans no professional ball after graduation. Brother Ex-Lion Gridder "I'm too small," he says, thus turning in the opposite direction of co-captain and tackle Stew Scheetz, who will try his for tunes with the Cleveland Browns, pro runnerups last year to , the Los Angeles Rams and one of the great pro teams of all times. The flashy end also had a broth er, John, who played for Bob Higgins' Cotton Bowl team of 1947-48. State rallied to tie, 13-13, after Southern Methodist ha d scored on a 40-yard pass from All- American Doak Walker, now a pro star for the Detroit Lions, to Paul Page, and a two-yard plunge by Walker. State tied the contest on . a Woody Petchel-to-Larry Cooney pass play, and another pass from Petchel to Wally Triplett. ODDS'N ENDS: Likes defense better. "Gives you a better chance" . . .
