Stengel May Employ
'Untried Pitcher Sunday
NEW YORK, Oct. 2 (2P)—Brook
lyn's victory over the New York
Yankees today could change the
entire World Series outlook for
Yankee manager Casey Stengel.
Stengel has, no tried pitcher
ready to work Sunday. He could
come back with Eddie Lopat in a
sixth game on Monday and could
pitch Vic 'Raschi in a seventh.
The Sunday starting job is up
for grabs with Jim McDonald the
most likely candidate.

ises to be one of the day's top
football games.

Out On a Limb
The Daily Collegian Sports staff and the Penn State football
coaches continue their weekly guessing match today as Lion as
sistant Jim O'Hara goes to the line for the coaches in an attempt
to break a first place deadlock with Sports Editor Sam Procopio.
The coaches, with Rip Engle doing the honors, compiled a .733
percentage in last week's pickings to tie Procopio for first place.
Following Procopio on the staff are Herm Weiskopf (.666) and
Assistant Sports Editor Dick McDowell (.600).
Few controversies have arisen this week. There are disagree
ments in only three of the 15 games listed. Procopio and Weiskopf
favor Tennessee to beat Duke while O'Hara and McDowell see it
the other way. While all three scribes pick Army over North
western, O'Hara is sticking with the Mid-western club. Weis cop'
sees Kentucky over Florida in the third game.
A number of top-featured games loom today as possible
trouble makers for the swamis. The Pitt-Oklahoma contest figures
to be a close one and the Army-Northwestern game is also rated
•
a toss-up.
This is the second week of the contest, which will continue
weekly throughout the football season. The overall coaches average
will be tabulated, and matched against the top Collegian average.
Tie games will be counted as losses.

is the fact that Penn has more
veterans returning who played in
the 1952 contest.
Although the boys from the &if
tany Vale won that one, 14-7, En
gle looks back and says "they
pushed us all over the field for
50 minutes, but made two mis
takes and we were fortunate to
convert them into touchdowns."
There are only two changes
made by Engle from last week's
lineup against Wisconsin which
gave Penn State its first white
washing in two years—only its
second in Engle's four years at
the helm. Purdue administered

Tony Rados, who was used
sparingly at Wisconsin because
of Penn State's inability to con
trol the ball, will receive the nod
at quarterback. Left halfback
Buddy Rowell and fullback Bob
by Allen will round out the back
field.
Word that ailing Lenny Moore,
sophomore tailback, may be avail

served to bolster Engle's hopes
for an open field runner.

Gramigna was converted from
wingback to quarterback for the
Penn State game last fall and was
responsible for the key block that
permitted Walt Hynoski to score
Penn's only TD. Gramigna took
over the starting QB . berth this
season when Ed Binkoski was
injured during a practice session.
Triple-threat Hynoski will play
his potential role at tailback,
while the plunging fullback from
S'woyerville, Joe Varaitis, and

On the line John Gurski, who
spelled Captain Bob Evans until
• the latter had to drop out of foot
ball at mid-season, and Jack
Shanafelt, a senior who has been
mentioned for All-America rat
ings,
will carry the burden at
the tackle spots.
Holding the middle of the line
together with center George
Trautman will be guards John

Bob Lebengood and John Lavin

Spotters are an accepted part of the football scene today.
In most cases a spotter is an observer, not a strategist. But
he has to be an unusually keen observer who knows his own
plays and players. Frequently he has scouted the opposing
team for several weeks before a game, learning its capabilities
and idiosyncracies.,
Jim O'Hara, one of Penn State's corps of coaches, is him
self a spotter on occasion. Jim admits a game is two hours of
nerve-wracking . work for the spotter, just as it is for all the
coaches and players. "You're
pretty well exhausted at the end
of the game," says Jim.
For instance time after time
the unusually reliable play 5-B is
piled up •at the line as the defense
diagnoses it correctly. Then sud
denly, the wingback takes the
ball from the quarterback on a
handoff, runs wide, then cuts'
sharply inside tackle, just as he
had tried to on the 5-B often be
.
lre. This time he is in the open,

streaking for the goal line and a
touchdown.
The reason? Two plays before
the touchdown the spotter had
seen a defensive guard drop down
on hands and knees and tiredly
assume his position in the line.
Quickly the spotter telephones to
the field the information he has
gleaned. The head coach of the
offensive team sends in a 'fresh
back who relays the suggestion to
the quarterback that he try the
15-B again. The tired guard can
no longer stop the play as he is
neatly blocked out and a hole is
opened big enough for the pro
verbial truck to drive through.
The spotter's job is to observe
his own and opponent's team on
both offense and defense. The
spotter, because of his position
high up, has a distinct advantage
over those on the field, but there
are some things he can't see.
Rarely does the spotter watch
only for specific details. His com
ments on the phone to the bench
are usually terse and straight
forward and, perhaps most im
portant, quick.
"It wouldn't do any good to
telephone information about a
play which happened four or five
minutes previously," says Ji m.
"Don't forget that spotter on the
other side. He's working to plug
the gaps you're trying to spot
and he will do it quickly."
