...the ace grid mentor
(This is the first in a series of three articles on the Penn State coaching staff. Today the coaches
of the fall sports.)
Why do fall Sports at Penn State always rank among the top on the national scale? The
answer is complex, but we like to give the coach his share of the glo r y, particularly
when his record is as successful as those of our three coaches—Charles "Rip" Engle, Ken
Hosterman, and Charles "Chick" Werner.
After seven successive years of building winning teams for Penn State; Engle is now
in the possession of a team which
the experts claim is better "on
paper" than last year's squad
which nosted a 6-2-1 record.
In coaching, Engle has a
much simpler lbjective than
beating the bowl teams. And
that is to produce winners,
game by game and season by
season. Under his coaching for .
the past seven seasons, Penn
State has remained among the
only three teams who have not
had a losing season on the
gridiron since World War IL
The Lions' cumulative mark is
40-20-3.
His personal postseason record
includes clinical tours for the
Military, such as the one he com
pleted this year through Japan.
He has also served as an assis
tant coach in the annual North-
South game at Montgomery, Ala.,
in 1949 and 1950.
After assisting Notre Dathe's
Terry Brennan
s in the East-West
classic Shrine game, Engle was
named .head coach of the East
for this year's tilt.
Werner not only handles the
cross-country team, which had
one of its most successful sea
sons last year, but switches to
the track and field chores in the
spring. And he's been building
individual and team champions
in the two sports since 1933.
During that time he has an
excellent record of 49 wins and
32 losses in track and has won
the IC4A championship in 1950
and 1951 and the NCAA cross
-country competition in 1950.
Werner is ably assisted in both
sports by Norm Gordon who also
handles the freshmen cindermen
and harriers.
Hosterman has probably the
best starting record of any coach
in Lion annals. In his fora•-year
reign, the youthful soccer mentor
has a 30-4-1- chart, including a
22-.. game undefeated streak which
was just Lroken last year. His
club was named National Cham
pion in 1954 apd co-National
Champion in: 1955.
Guards, Tackles—

have been used in reserve roles.
Despite all the preseason rav
and' fancy notices being . given
the Lions by the'football experts.
Engle refused to be outwardly
optimistic concerning the season
ahead. He, in accord with past
seasons, is adopting a. wait-see
attitude.
-As Ridge Rielly, author of the
Penn State Alumni News, quoted
Engle: "I'm a realist. Call me al
pessimistic optimist." That could
very well summarize "The Rip
pers' " feelings for the 1957 sea
son.

1958 Marks Last Year
Of Present Penn Series
The famed Penn-Penn State
football seri e s, originating
back in 1890, comes to a tern-I
porary end following the 1958
encounter at Penn's Franklin
Field.
According to Jim Coogan, Uni
versity sports publicity director,
the termination of the series
came about as a result of a mu
tual agreement between the ath
letic directors of both schools.
_ .
The series was last interrupt
ed in 1948 and was resumed in
1952. Since that time, the Lions
have won four of the five con
tests, although Penn holds the
series edge, 24-16. with four
ties.

Coogan said that both schools
expressed - desires to play other
rivals. Since Penn has only two
open dates on its schedule now
that the Ivy League is officially
formalized, Penn State was a
logical candidate for the drop.
The teams had not scheduled a
game for 1959 so the series is not
cancelled.
Both athletic directors said
that the termination of the pre
sent series in no way repre
sented the complete termina
-1 lion of Penn-Penn State foot
ball. Both said that they ex
pected the schools to again play
each other at a later date.
