THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA It was North and Garban w•ho held the alternate unit together while: the sophomores were learning the fundamentals of their positions-1 and they did a good job of it. Evidence: West Virginia and Syracuse.; After the Army game, Coach Rip Engle was asked if he was going to 'do away with the two platoon system because of the weak: showing the alternate unit displayed in the loss. Without hesitation,. he replied that he was still going to two platoon; but it was going' to take time for the alternate unit to perform creditably because of the sophomores in the lineup. (It was then four and is now six.) He said until the sophomores developed. the alternate unit was going to take its share of bumps. And it did take its share of bumps—but it recuperated rapidly and came back to play a prominent part in the Lions' successes over Syracuse and West Virginia. Now. indications are that the alternate unit has reached its desired performance and gives Engle the strong two units he was looking for since the season opened. Paul North and Steve Garban were the major contributing factors towards steadying the unit while the sophomores learned the varsity way of play. For this we praise them. Engle shares this attitude with us. He has described North as the "best end in the country who doesn't start." Paul could only be kept off a starting team by a player of Les Walter's capa bilities. In most phases. both are practically on a par. But Walters is the faster of the two, which makes him a more dangerous threat for long scoring passes. Thus, he starts. The same holds true in the case of Charlie Ruslavage, the start ing center, and Steve Garban. Again, both are on a par in most phases. But, Ruslavage doestave a slight edge in experience. Either way, though, Engle would be able to call on a strong tcenter for the starting role. So, let the praises fall where they may.
