Engle Wins
Sabol, Lockerman
Are Surprise Aces
By ROY WILLIAMS
Collegian Sports Editor
When Penn State’s Rip Engle was dealt his- hand for the
1955 football prospects he found it came from a little used
deck that featured several shiny, smooth cards.
In the pre-season strategy of the shrewd, poker-faced
player who-calculated and dared with speculation, he decided,
discarded, and drew again.
When he played his hand Saturday, Engle had again come
up with several of those “new” cards forming a winning play
—one which originally was figured unable to whip a pair
of duces.
Those new cards read not as
hearts or clubs, but rather as
Lockerman, Sabol, Kwalik, North,
Farls, Finkbeiner, and Walters.
Bach of these men, along with
Engle’s list of veterans, formed
his across-the-board-punch that
whacked Boston University with
a resounding 35-0 wallop.
Penn State rolled to touch
downs in the first three quarters
with powerful groundwork tinged
with passing accuracy, and then
wound it up with the reserves
scoring twice in the final stanza.
Junior Jim Lockerman bolted
over from the four in the open
ing period for the Lions’ first
score at 12:35 ending a 37-yard
drive after they had lost the ball
to BU twice earlier in the quar
ter.
The Lions followed with an
other first-half score when Lenny
Moore recovered a BU fumble on
the goal and ran it out to the two.
From there, the Lions rolled on a
98-yard drive needing only four
first downs to get Joe Sabol, a
soph newcomer at fullback,
across the goal on a one-yard
buck for a 14-0 lead.
At 11:04 of the third period Sa

Ike Expected
To Recover
In 2 Months
DENVER, Sept. 26 (/P) An
eminent heart specialist said after
a new examination of President
Dwight D. Eisenhower today that
.prospects for his complete re
covery within two months are
reasonably good if there are no
complications.
Dr. Paul Dudley White said,
that, barring, complications, the
NEW YORK. Sept. 26 (/P)—
News of President Eisenhower's
heart attack sent the stock mar
ket spinning down today in one
of the greatest falls it ever has
suffered.
Losses ran from 1 to 7 points
in many scores of stocks and on
out to around 14 points at the
worst in key areas.
The unexpected news raised
an obscuring cloud of uncer
tainties over the political and
economic scene.
President should be physically
fh ° uM
But he said .complications can
still come for Eisenhower, who
will be 65 Oct. 14.
White added he was hopeful the
chief executive can resume light
official duties within tyro weeks
and even confer with Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles be
fore the latter attends the foreign
ministers conference at Geneva,
Oct. 27.
In sounding his.note of caution,
the physician said that, “For many
people some of the complications
would haVe already , come, if they
had been very, very-ill.”
“But they can still come,”,' he
said. “You want to bear in mind
that during the first week or two
during this period in which the
heart muscle is in a delicate state,
we can still have complications.
For the first two weeks we- keep
our fingers crossed.”
The President’s physicians re
ported at 4 p.m. (MST) that the
chief executive had a very com
fortable day and spent about one
hour outside his oxygen tent.
It .was' the first time the tent
had been reihoved since Eisen
hawer was hospitalized.
The first 30-mihute period came
this momingduring a medical ex
amination. The- other 30. minutes
outside came at lunch time, when
the President also visited with
Mrs. Eisenhower.

freshman violator must draw a
map of the campus on a sand

Another penalized frosh was

The two week customs period
