'''" ''''"' Sporting the Lions . . : By SAM PROCOPIO Collegian Sports Editor DID YOU KNOW THAT . . . ? Penn State is carrying . an "extra" player on its 1954 golf trips. He is Dick Bruce, manager. Dick, son of the freshman football coach, karl Bruce, saved an unbeaten season for the Nittany Lions last year when he won against a threatening Bucknell team. He was out for the team last year, but gave it up early in the year and concentrated on his managerial duties. When Coach Bob Rutherford's team traveled to Buck nell, the golfers were short one player because of final exams. Bruce substituted. He has not participated this season as yet, but he is on the roster . . . The Swedish National Gymnastic team, which concluded its good will tour in March, lost only to Florida State by ten points. Penn State, NCAA gym champs, was on the short end of their dual with the Swedes by three points . . . _ Their tour was more successful than anticipated. The Swedes drew well in every city but two—St. Louis and Kansas City. At Pitts burgh, they. drew 2000—more than Pittsburgh draws for basketball. No city or town, however, drew more than Penn State (6000). The second largest attendance was at Illinois where 5000 fans were attracted . . . During the trip the Swedes enjoyed the Florida sunshine, tele vision, and big American cars. They called professional wrestling a fake and claimed that it does more harm than good. (Wrestling is the number two sport in Sweden . . .) At one stage of the trip, when they were_heading for their westernmost stop at the University of Colorado, they talked Walter Spicer of Bellefonte, Edwards Bus Line driver who was selected to drive the team around the country, into 'a detour to see an Indian. The Swedes were determined they were not returning to Sweden without seeing an American Indian. They went to Oklahoma and saw an Indian . . . Penn State, to the Swedes, was the most impressive. They said that they were treated very well and that the country is more like their own . . . Although frequently boring, statistics do offer impressive evi dence as to who are baseball's top 20 hitters. During the past several years we have" been watching how the present day greats compare with players like Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, etc. And too, with the many controversies arising as to who is best of the present era players, the following facts show that it is Stan Musial, Joe DiMagkio, Ted •Williams, and Ralph Kiner in that order. Everyone but DiMag, who retired, can improve his standing. The numbers below exemplify how a particular ballplayer is rated compared to the others as a hitter and in individual batting departments. For instance,' Ruth is rated as the third best hitter in baseball and is first in home runs, tenth in doubles, seventh, in batting average, etc. We added the individual hitting department ratings to obtain a composite rating score. 1.

Coaching the Blue squad will be Frank Pat rick, Jim O'Hara, and J. T. White. Joe Paterno, Tor Toretti, and Earl Bruce will mastermind the Whites. Serves Two Purposes Actually the contest will serve two purposes. First it will give more than 200 high school coaches, who will be attending the annual football clinic, a look at Penn State football in action. But more important, Coach Rip Engle, who will be sitting this one out, will get a last, but very important look at his prospects for the fall when he tackles another man-sized schedule. And chances are that Engle wit be keeping a sharp eye on the four quarterbacks who will be handling the signal calling. The quarterback problem has been the biggest question mark this spring as Engle seeks a replace ment for rocket-armed Tony.Ra dos who directed the Nittany at tack last season. Don Bailey, who has seen plen ty of action at various positions in the last two seasons, teams up with freshman Milt Plumb in the quarterback slot for the Blws.
