Ohio State Boasts
Powerful Backfield
Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes, who emphasizes a rock 'em, sock ’em type of foot
ball, lias probably one of the most solid backfields since he took over the coaching reins
in 2951.
Although he lost probably the greatest runner in Buckeye history, Hopalong Cassady,
Hayes still boasts an abundance of break-a-way runners plus an exceptional quarterback
in Frank Ellwood, whose play-calling, running, and leadership has been superb this year.
In his backfield Hayes has Don I * ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Sutherin, who has been battling j
Don Clark for the starting posi
tion since the first game, at left
halfback. Sutherin is considered
the most talented back on the
dub. He is the best passer, hard
est-hitting back, and the team's
best punter.
Clark Highly Rated
Clark, only a sophomore, is onc
<it the fastest backs on the team
and is considered by Hayes as
an outstanding prospect. He won
the starting berth with his fine
pre-season practice showings. He
and Sutherin alternate at the left
half spot during most of the game.
Eliwood started all nine Buck
eye games last season completing
nine of 23 passes in OSU’s "pass
less offense” in 1955. He also av
eraged 3.1 yards in 84 tries.
Roseboro Best Back
Apparently Hayes’ best back is
senior Jim Roseboro. vho aver
aged C. 3 yards last season, tops
among the regulars. This year he
is the team’s leading ground gain
er and is also one of the top de
fensive backs on the squad. Back
ing him up are sophomore Dick
Leßeau. a converted quarterback,
and Ken Thompson, who has
good speed and runs hard.
Don Vicic and Galen Cisco are
the two leading men for the full
back spot in Saturday’s game.
Vicic has been getting the start
ing berth in most of this season's
games, although Cisco has seen
plenty of action. !
Vicic is the Buckeye’s bread
and butter runner. He is an excel
lent four-yard back, a jarring
Lion Harrier Outlook Doubtful
By VINCE CAROCCI
The loss of Captain Don
Woodrow and sophomore Bob
Thompson for Saturday's meet
with Navy has changed the
Lion cross-country picture
from one of hopefulness to one
of doubt.
Woodrow will be away on a
geological field trip while Thomp
son has been put on the shelf
from 10 to 14 days with an attack
of virus pneumonia. Woodrow
will be available for the Michigan
State meet, however.
Although neither figured too
highly individually in Coach
Chick Werner's plans, they both
played an integral part in his
team-balance effort.
The Lion coach was looking for
sophomores Ed Moran, Fred Kerr,
and Clem Sehoenebeck to finish
among the first five with Wood
row, Thompson, and Kirby fight
ing it out for sixth and seventh
place.
To add to Werner's woes. Kirby
is troubled by a bad back. He is
expected to run against the Mid
dies Saturday, but what effect
his back will have on him is still
in doubt and probably will re
main so until the meet is over.

To miss meet
The loss throws a monkey
wrench into 'Werner's plans for
the Middies. Navy had been fi

Lion schedule, but in view of
the circumstances, the Wemer*

score a victory.

up with any solution until later
this week after he gives the
club a thorough looking oyer.

Lacrosse Club Will Hold
Second Meeting Tonight
The Penn State Lacrosse Cl
tion on campus, will hold its s
at Kappa Sigma fraternity, 30C
ing is open to the public.
The club, which held its
hopes to develop a closer relation-!
ship between students and ath-i
letes, and to promote the sport of!
lacrosse. ’ I
It is based on the idea that the
student who comes to know an
athlete through the meetings will
develoD a knowledge of lacrosse
and become enthusiastic followers
of the game.
Rutgers Has Club
Rutgers University has a la
crosse club of this type. It has
been so successful that Rutgers
officials claim that the club has
“won games for us” by generating
a desire-to-win spirit among the
student members that has rubbed
off on the athletes themselves.
Varsity lacrosse coach, Ernie
Baer, said that the club will be
like a fraternal group that will
have one major goal—promotion
of lacrosse—but many minor as
sets. !
Hopes to Promote Interest
Among these Baer includes re
interest in the game by alumni,
aid to promote scholarship among
lacrossemen by financial awards,
publication of a lacrope maga
zine, and outside activities to raise
money for the club.
Baer hopes to get the alumni
