PAGE SIX Lion Gridders Continue Pre-Penn Preparations Sugar Ray Robinson may have fought Carmen Basillo last night and Oklahoma may ; have wallopped Pitt last Staurday, but the only thought in 'Penn State Coach Rip Engle's mind at present is getting his 1957 gridders ready for their opening game, Saturday. The Lions go under competitive fire for the first time this year when they meet the' the Pennsylvania Quakers, Saturday at Franklin field. And, according to Engle, "We (the Lio ns) still have a lot of work to do." Engle said that his club would spend the four * * * * remaining practice days attempt ing to tie all phases of the Lion ...tame into an adequate football plan Although he readily admitted There was a lot of work to be done, he said that he did not plan to concentrate his efforts on either his offense or defense. Bather, he said the work would be divided as evenly as pos sible between the two phases. Penn's strength remains a ques tion mark in Engle's mind since he has not had, nor hopes to have, an opportunity to scout Coach Steve Sebu's crew—which only adds to theh task awaiting the gridders. Engle said: "All 1 know about Penn is what I've read in the papers." Despite the lack of scouting in formation, Engle said that he definitely was not underrating the Quakers. He expected Penn to be tougher than they were last year, but all he could do was speculate. Personel-wise. halfbacks Bruce Gilmore and Bucky Paolone were somewhat of a question mark in the minds of the Nittany coaching staff. Paolone pulled a muscle in the back of his leg last week while , Gilmore injured his knee in a scrimmage a week ago last Saturday. The injuries sidelined both backs from serious practice work most of last week, but both are expected to be ready for use Saturday. To what extent, time alone will tell. In other respects, the grid story._ is almost the same as it has been for the past week or so. The start ing lineup is still uncertain in most positions because of the close. competition being waged there.
