niESCAY. WNEMI3EP 30. 19r44 on Younker Post-Season Grid Bids Accepted by 3 Lions Three Nittany gridders Don Bailey, Gene Danser, and Ron Younker have ac cepted bids to play in post-season football contests. Bailey will play in the East-West Shrine game, Danser in the Blue-Gray battle, and Younker in the North-South Shrine game. During the past season it was Bailey who handled the reins over the Penn State grid fortunes. At the start ; of the campaign the battle for the quarterback position was mainly between Bailey and Bobby Hoffman. However, Bailey's sensational play in the opening game with Illinois put him, in the starting berth for the remainder of the year. Although Bailey was not able to match all-time Penn State pass ing performances set last year by Tony Rados ; he displayed excel lent ball-handling ability. Danser was one of Coach Rip Engle'S top defensive stars. His fine play helped give the Lions one, of the strongest lines in the country. Danser will• be playing at tackle. Younker, standout right half back with plenty of fight, gained 365 yards in 44 carries for an av erage of 8.1 yards per try. The fleet back equaled a Penn State record when he raced 80 yards from scrimmage for a touchdown against Virginia. He• also had scoring runs of .23, 35, and 46 yards. Altogether, Younker scored seven times.
