Six Gridders
In Three Bowl
4 Ic9
Penn State will be well represented in three post season all-star football games. The
final tally shows that six Lion gridders, all seniors, along with Coach Rip Engle and
trainer Chuck Medlar, will represent northern teams in either the annual Blue-Gray con
test at Birmingham, Ala., the Shriners North-South game in Miami, Fla., or the Senior
Bowl contest in Mobile, Ala..
• The Blue-Gray contest w
Christmas night, and the Senior
Bowl Jan. 3.
The gridders selected to play in
the contest are Co-captains Stew
Sheetz and Joe Grat so n, Jim
Dooley, Don Barney, Bob Smith,
and Bill Leonard.
Medlar Repeats
Engle will be coaching the Blue
team for the third straight year
in the Blue-Gray classic. The Lion
mentor has a 1-1 record in that
department. The assignment will
climax a fine season at Penn State
for Engle. He took over the Lion
reigns in 1950 and in the last three
seasons has compiled a 17-9-2 rec
ord. This year's 7-2-1 log is his
best since coming to State, show
ing wins over Temple, William
and Mary, Rutgers, West Virginia,
Nebraska, Penn, and Pitt.
Medlar's selection comes more
or less as an anti-climax, as far as
this type of honor is concerned.
The expert trainer was picked for
the United States training staff
in 1952 Olympic games in Hel
sinki, Finland. Medlar will be giv
ing Engle his assistance for the
second year at the Blue-Gray con
test.
