'Better
"1 th;nk they're z t better team than they were last year." Assistant Coach J. T. White
said when que_stioned about the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Lions' next opponent Sat
urday afternoon at Beaver Field.
"They're a power team ... a good football team that
lakes." he said. lie described the 1957 Mountaineer edition,
of past West Virginia teams—big, strong and rugged.
There's no question of the
Mountaineers being big. A look
et some physical statistics erases
ell doubts: guard Chuck How
ley. 6-2. 220 pounds; guard Joe
Nicely, 6-1. 220 pounds: end
Bruce McClung, 6-4. 205 pounds:
end Roger Chancey, 6-2, 225
pounds: tackle Paul Sharkady,
6-1, 225: tackle Jim Pickett. 6-3,
230 pomade: and on and on it
goes along the line.
In the 1 - girl:fie:ld, the story is a
hi -different where fullback Lar
ry Krutho is the biggest man at
t-I. '2.10 pounds. The re-4 of the
hacks taper off to the u:ual
backfield weights between the
100-170 marks. Halfback flaluli
Anastasio is the smallest of the
tort: at 5-11. 165.
The backs may be no bigger in
size than average college back
fields, but the Mountaineers have
plenty of them to throw at the
Lions. White saw 10 of them in
use anainst William & Man• last
Saturday.
Quart'rback and fullback seen:
to Ir. the best of the Mountie
backfield posts. Each spot boasts
two season veterans ready for ac
tion.
At quarterback, senior Mickey
Trimarki and junior Dick Long
fellow are waging a tremendous
battle for the first team berth.
White has teen Longfellow start
more than Trimarki, but cautions
that Trimarki may be the starter
against the Lions.
"'There are limes I think
Longfellow is a better quarter
back than Trimarki but then
Trimarki will come on the field
and do something that will
change my mind," he said. "I
was counting on the team of
(Al) Jacks and (Richie) Lucas
to do the same for us"—refer
sing to the fact that Jacks is
lost for an indefinite period.
At fullback, senior Larry Krut
ko and junior Noel Whipkey give
the dountainee's one of the
strongest fullback corps in the
country. Krutko. whom White
called the workhorse of the ball
carriers, was first in team rush
ing last year with Whipkey sec
ond, while both tied for scoring
honors with 24 points each.
Along the line. White singled
out Howley as the best West Vir
ginia has to offer. - 11 I were to
single out any individual it prob
ribly would be Howley." he said.
'.;lie's one of the year's better foot
ball players."
Howley was switched from
renter to guard in order to form.
along with Nicely, one of the best
guard combinations in the coun
try. However. Nicely was hurt in
the Wisconsin game and Bob
Guenther has replaced him.

'Lineman of Week'
Les Walte - rs, Penn State end, was named Lineman of the
Week in the Associated Press nationwide poll. There is a
nice little story to go with it.
A year ago Syracuse beat Penn
sidered himcPlf the goat because he
late in the game that might have
turned defeat into victory for r
Penn State.
Last Saturday the Nittany Lions
again played Syracuse. This time
Penn State upset the Orange 20-
12. Who was the big star? - Walters,
of course. He caught two touch
down passes and helped lo set up
the other by tackling Syracuse's
Tom Stephens on the Syracuse
one after a poor pass from the
Syracuse center on fourth down.
It was for these feats that Wal
-1 ters was voted Lineman of the
Week in the weekly Associated
!Press poll of sportswriters and
broadcasters
Penn State Coach Rip Engle
'says "Walters is the fastest boy
on our squad. I consider Les our
,fifth back.
The 6-it Les got down field
• mighty fast on the two passes he
:snared for TD's. One was good for
'5l yards. He also caught two oth
ier passes. He gained over 100
:yards on the four aerials.
Walters. one of Penn State's
finest all-around athletes, is the
'Lions' leading pass receiver. In
?five games this season he has re
ceived 14 passes for i6O yards and
;three touchdowns. His defensive
'play has also been terrific.
He also wrestled as a regular
; with Penn State's Eastern cham
pions, winning five dual meet
victories and finishing second in
; the Eastern Intercollegiate tour
, nament at Rec Hall.
Waiters is a deceptive footbal
.player. One Philadelphia Sports
writer said, ''He looks more lik:
a their boy than a footbal
player."

Lose 3 Players
i :For Navy Game
Facing the tough Navy fresh
man football squad Saturday has
become a bigger problem this
week for Earl Bruce's frosh with
the loss of three star gridders.
The number one loss has been
guard Bob Dallas. Dallas has been
outstanding both in practice and
in the Pitt encounter this year
in defending the middle guard
spot on defense. He is also rated
high as a blocker on offense.
According to Bruce, the gridder,
is at home in Philadelphia with
a case of the flu. He has received
no word from Dallas and does not,
expect to use him at Annapolis.
End Dave Alexander has been
out of action since the Pitt win
two weeks ago. The Latrobe ath
lete developed a reaction to the
'Toughskin" ointment that the
players use to protect their skin
from the football pads.
Fullback Denny Schaeffer is the
third casualty. Schaeffer is the
alternate unit line-bucker behind
Red Worrell.
