TVEWAY, MAY 5, 1953 Confusin' .Amusin' . . . Sam's Son By SAM PROCOPIO Collegian Sports Editor The death of the two platoon system was not amusing to some but while 'in operation it .was certainly confusing. Critics hit the nail on the, head when they uttered it was confusing to the average spectator to have 11 men gallop on the field and 11 dash off every little while. The fans never knew who was who dnd why he was who.. When football's police—NCAA rules committee— stepped in and outlawed the two-way plan, hOwever, traffic was cut down con siderably. So much so that the game 'continues at a faster pace, is more interesting, and we don't need a "who's who" to distinguish one specialist from another. This was witnessed Saturday on Beaver Field when Coach Rip Engle's staff introduced its third annual Bucket Bowl. We go on record along with Engle in disagreping with Earl Red Blaik, Army's coach, who stated: , "It'll be interesting to see how the fans react to this slower, dkaggier game. After riding around in those souped-up machines, they may not be content to go back to the old Model-T." Maybe not, but the fans who observed the Bucket Bowl are satisfied with the Winged-T. A bitter opponent of the unexpected rule change, Blaik added: "We have had to remake completely our plans. We have had to turn tackles into fullbacks, .guards into ends and so forth to get a squad that can play both offense and defense . . ." If Blaik thinks his troubles are outlined for him, he should contact Biggie Munn of Michigan State. The latter coach not only has his mixed all talked up but his lineup all loused-up. As far as Munn is concerned there's still just about as much chance that the unguarded spectator will get lost in the shuffle from his offensive to defensive lineup. Here's the operation Biggie will promote when the Spartan's offensive team loses the ball and goes on defense. The left end remains as left end. Fine! But then ... The left tackle becomes the left guard. The left guard switches to right guard. The center becomes the right linebacker. The right guard becomes the left tackle. The right end stays on as right end. The quarterback becomes .the right halfback. The right halfback becomes the left halfback. The left halfback becomes the safety man. The fullback becomes the left linebacker. Hallelujah! How much will it effect Penn State? From our observations Saturday, not much. In fact, we were so impressed that we begin to wonder what the Lions will look like when Jesse Arnelle, nosey Grier, Keith Vesling. Pete Fuhrman, and Tony. Rados enter the picture. Engle, however, said, "We could be defensively weaker." The Lion mentor explained the situation by comparing it with a building. If one man trys to erect a building, he will not do as good a job as if the job were done with one laying bricks, the other girders, and another something else. There have been many statements pro and con and there will be many "crying towels" being rinsed by coaches before the season is 'officially underway. Nevertheless, we lost whit we had but gained what we needed. Tennis Squad Opposes Terrapins Tomorrow Bill Ziegler, tennis coach Sherm Fogg's promising sophomore, will work the number two singles posi tion against the Terrapins of Maryland tomorrow on the Col lege courts, Fogg announced yes terday. The move, coming as no sur prise, will boost Ziegler two notches from his customary num ber four spot. Lou Landon, win less in four singles, starts, will work the number four position.
