PAGE SIX Vesting Against Bill Straub Lion Fullback Garrity Cited For Line Duty Jim Garrity, Penn State's junior end, was among the players cited for lineman of the week honors by the Associated Press for his play in last Saturday's 13-7 loss to Penn at Franklin Field. Garrity, who reminds one of a halfback the way he dodges would-be tacklers when he gets hold of the ball, caught four passes for 82 yards and the only Nittany Lion touchdown. Franklin Brooks, a sophomore guard at Georgia Tech, was named as the lineman of the week by the AP poll. Others, along with Garrity, mentioned from Penn State op ponents were end Dick Deitrick of Pitt and guard Jack Cannon of Penn.

Game time is 2 p.m. Although Ron Younker is likely to start at the right halfback slot, Vesling will share the chores with Younker and Don Eyer. Travel by Air The only gridder who will probably sit out the BU game will be Keith Horn, who suffered a slight concussion in the Penn game. His understudy, Earl Shu maker, of.

Penn State will travel by air, leaving at• noon today. Lions Favored ' There is still the possioility that the name of the stadium may be changed before game time. The Boston University officials have been considering to alter the name from Braves Field to Pap pas Stadium, after the Terrier's outstanding guard, John •Pappas, who died from a head injury sus tained in the_ BU-Syracuse game last Saturday. However, no deci sion has been made as yet. • Against Syracuse the Terriers displayed a line that was much improved over last season's and should prove troublesome to the favored Lions. Tomorrow's game will be the first which Penn State has been tabbed as favorites. Engle's football eleven dropped its first two contests to Wisconsin, 20-0, and Penn 13-7. Boston U. has tied highly-touted Syracuse, 14-14, in its only contest this sea son. It was eiTOnerously stated in the Collegian yesterday that Bos ton defeated Brandeis: The latter school, which had been originally scheduled to play the Terriers Sept. 26, will play Boston Oct. 17.

General Manager Lane an= nounced that: "After some deliberation a de cision has been reached that I should not enter into any discus sion with the Baltimore club in regard to that club's general managership in view of the fact my contract with the White Sox has two more years to run." This ended two days of mys terious negotiations during which it was reliably reported Lane's eagerness to take over operation of the new Baltimore entry in the American ' League was firmly squelched by his present em ployers. EUTAW HOUSE Potters Mills • SEAFOOD DINNERS at All Times Pr,NN'SYLVANIA Gridiron Spotters 'Win' Games Too It has been said- by old timers and present day fans alike that ~,Jotball games are won on the practiCe fields. In truth, football games are won in the press box of college stadiums as well as 'the battered turf of the practice gridirons on weekday afternoons. Yes, the football scout plays a major part in the success of any team. I-fave you ever wondered; for instance, why a team may complete pass after pass near •the left sideline during a game, or why a fullback runs through right guard all afternoon?' It's pigskins to ping pong balls that a scout has discovered that a de fensive ' halfback turns ‘ a certain way in covering a pass, or that the opponent's middle guard can easily be double-teamed. The scout is usually, a member of the coaching staff who has the job of detecting weaknesses in future opponents. At Penn Sttae, Earl. Bruce, who doubles as fresh man head coach, is one of these men "Scouting is somewhat easier this year," said Bruce, "now that you don't have to remember so many things about so many play ers, with the two-platoon system abolished." "What we try to do the first time we see a team," he said, in speaking for the rest of the Lion scouting fraternity, "is to map out their offensive and defensive patterns. Also, we keep a record of where they ran the ball during the game. Thus, we know at the end of a game how many plays a team ran off tackle and so on." When Monday afternoon rolls 'around, the scout's full and com- Nationally Famous Shirts Ties Underwear May be purchased at By 808 DUNN prehensive report of the week's opponent's style of ,play can be invaluable. In addition, movies taken of previous g a m'e s are studied, and suggestions are made by the coaches which a player must have, to know just what he can expect on. Saturday. Things were not always this way, however. In the old days one team- would play another, and the only thing a coach knew about his rivals was in the infor mation he received from other coaches in letters. Nowadays, the scout may see a team play up to four or five games. This avocation has been some what revolutionized since yester year, one *might say. Just last Saturday, after the Penn State- Penn game, Quaker coach George Munger retired to his office and watched his next two opponents, Ohio State and California, go through their paces in the NCAA TV game of the week. It's history how this knowledge can affect the game. A Holy Cross scout's full and complete' report was credited with having much to do with his team's unbelie,vable 55-12 rout of mighty Boston Col lege in 1942, in what many term the biggest football upset in the last quarter century. • ARROW i /,, ,A 5 r A:Tr FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1953
