Gridders Could Cook Up
Strong Recipe for Navy
A dash of spirit, a pinch of underdog incentive, and a brimming
tumbler of ability—these ingredients, blended with some Penn
State home cooking, could brew a delightful dish for the Lions'
Homecoming throng tomorrow at Beaver Field.
For tomorrow Coach Rip Engle and his squad tangle with its
second military football team of
the year when they take on Navy
—rated a 13-point favorite.
Despite Navy's impressive rec
ord, the Lions have one advan
tage—an important one—they're
at home. But it will take more
than a home-stand for the Lions
to stop Navy, a team of special
ists when it comes to bottling its
opponents' offenses.

prowess is completed with an of

Welsh at quarterback and a group
of hard-running backs.
Penn State, on the other hand,
should be considerably strength

return of Frank Reich, who miss
ed the Virginia game because of
a hand injury.
Dan Radakovich, junior from
Kennywood, and Duquesne senior
Ed Kleist did good jobs Satur
day against Virginia when called
upon to replace Reich. But the
return of the Lion co-captain—
a solid asset spirit-wise—and the
first string center and starting
linebacker, will be a definite as
set.
Walt Mazur, the 220-p ou n d
mountain who has been a reliable
man for the right side of the line
on defense, missed the Virginia
game because of a hand injury.
He is on the doubtful list for this
one. Jack Calderone, his running
mate at tackle, has handled the
offense chores, but Mazur got the
nod on defense in the past.
Balanced attacks—offensively—
for both Navy and Penn State
could produce a ground-air bat
tle if the Lions can out-maneuver
Navy's spectacular defense.
With quarterback Bobby Hoff
man and Welsh—both pint-siZed
signal callers standing in the 160-

on opposite sides of the line,
passes should be plentiful.
On the ground the Lions' flashy
speedster, Lenny Moore, halfback
Billy Kane, and fullback Buck
Straub—both Pittsburgh boys—
have the ability, experience, and
spirit to pour on a snazzy run

too. One of them is Ned Oldham.
