Fall Grid Outlook Quarterback By DICK McDOWELL Rip Engle made a quick surveillance of his football prospects for fall yesterday and carne up with this picture: "If our quarterback situation shaPes up the way we hope it will," he said, "and if we don't lose any of our key play ers between now and Septem ber, we're going to have a fine team." "Now that doesn't mean we're going to win them all," he added. "We have to face nine other fine teams in the fall." How right he is. The Lions open the campaign with Illinois aWay, then test Vir ginia and West Virginia at Beaver Field. NeXt comes Texas Chris tian and Penn, both on the road, before Holy Cross and Rutgers come to town. The season ends with the traditional battle at Pitts burgh. The Lion boss, inaugurating his fifth . season at Penn State, ex pressed disappointment, however, with the abbreviated spring prac tice which ends Saturday. "It's been very discouraging," he said. "The boys are unable to eat late in the dormitories and many of them have late classes. We've av eraged about 35. absences a day and it's almost impossible to con centrate on development of plays and timing." Engle's "quarterback problem," which seems to crop up every year in some form, is the task of find ing, an able replacement for de partinq, rtados. Two - r -- -- -c^-1 candidat - s.

However, Bailey's extra height and weight nlus thl fact ''hit he is an e- -- -" - nt gives him a slight edge for the THE DAIIY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANLek same problem that has been both ering Lion coach Nick-Thiel—lack of seasoned players. Kraus' trou ble began last season with heavy losses from the team that won 17 of 21 games during the 1951 and '52 seasons. 3 All-America Stars Now 12 more players have grad uated but fortunately for Kraus, three All-American players have returned. Captain John Snape, Jon Kraus, and Hank Bolin have formed the nucleus around which Kraus has had to build his team. Bill Burhans, who showed'prom ise at midfield last year, has been moved up to the attack to replace last season's captain, Hoover Sut ton. Burhans' absence from the midfield will be sorely missed. Kraus' big problem is to de velop his green midfielders into a trio of three man units that can range the field giving support to both his attacking and defensive units. One of these units will have to perform as second line attack ers. Hobart's defensive setup .can not compare with the Snape- Kraus-Burhans attack but is far better shape than the mid field. Bolin, a Geneva boy, leads a group of husky candidates in cluding grid aces Jerry Angell, Dick McKnight, and Augie Gates. Thiel will stick by the lineup that faced Penn. That means John Collett will again start on defense in place of Herbie Horikawa. The only casualty, aside from Dave Arnold who may return to action tomorrow, is midfielder Dave Friedenberg who has a slight leg injury. First Home Game Penn State's first home game in 1954 will bring the University of Virginia football team to State College Oct. 9. job. His running ability makes him a perfect fit in the split-T type game, an offense Engle used to some extent last season. Bailey was also the team's top punter last year, averaging 38.8 yards per boot. Several newcomers could pro vide some aid next fall. Freshmen Milt Plum and Bill Colangelo have both performed well in spring drills and will rate watch in. Also Bob Hochberg, recover from a leg injury suffered last year, could be a big help. Defensive Setups Middies Easily Beat Lion Netmen, 8-1 The Penn State tennis team failed to get their much sought after revenge victory over Navy, as it again fell under the Middies' on slaught, losing by an 8-1 score, yesterday at Annapolis. It was a repeat performance of last year's Naval victory, as Bill Ziegler, the Lion's number three man, was the only netter who could garner a victory for Coach Sher man Fogg. The junior letterman won in straight sets over Navy's Pat Gallagher. 6-3, 6-3. The Middies' ace performer, Dick Ricketts, started his team off on the right feet as he nosed out State's number one man, Dick Robinson, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3.
