PAGE SIX Spring Football Starts Today Finding replacements lor the “best end corps in the East” last year will be Coach Rip Engle’s gravest problem when the annual spring football drills begin today at Beaver Field Engle lost five top-rate terminals from the 1957 team, including first stringers Les Walters and Jack Farls, both of whom were drafted into pro ★ ★ ★ football during the winter. Paul North, regarded by many last fall as “the best second team end in the country,” Ron Markicwicz, and Romeo Pannozzo are also missing. Norm Neff, a 6-2, 200-pound sophomore from Carlisle, is the only veteran wingman returning. Neff saw action on the second and third teams last year. In an effort to bolster hie end*, Engle plans to switch Maury Schleicher, the mam moth 6-3, 240-pound junior, from fullback to the wing. Schleicher has no experience «» ■n offensive wingman but played defensive end the last two seasons under Engle's sys- Stu Bat her, Dave Alexander and Henry Opperman who flanked the 1957 frosh gridders— will also be under heavy scrutiny. Outside of the end slots, grad uation losses were very light. In fact, of the first 22 men last fall, 14 are back. Only guards Joe Sa bo], last year’s captain, and Richie McMillen and fullback Babe Ca prara are gone. However, Engle isn't going to let rigor mortis set in among his returnees as he is planning several other major changes. To take up the slack at fullback, he will try to move first siring right halfback Andy Moconyi, a two-year vet. and second team left half Pat Boiula to the full back spot. And another change calls for last year's first team center Char lie Ruslavage and first team left tickle Bill Wehmer to transplant themselves at guard. Steve Garban, the captain elect, will undoubtedly take over Rus lavage’s post but that tackle spot is a tossup with Tom Mulraney, Andy Stynehula, Chuck Janerette and Frank Urban among the vet eran aspirants. Perhaps the most well-forti fied spot will be quarterback. Engle not only has last year's three signal callers back—Al Jacks, Richie Lucas and Bob Scrabis—but Dick Hoak and Don Jonas, a couple of hoi freshman prospects, will also be on hand. Among the other lettermen back this spring are guards Bud Kohlhass and Sam Stellatella and Phils Blast Maglie; ’Baby in Minors WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (/P) —Aging Sal Maglie took another blasting Wednesday as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the New York Yankees 12-8 for a four game to three lead in their spring exhibition series. The slugfest was watched by 10,059, the largest baseball crowd in North Carolina history ' Maglie, 41, was combed for 11 hits and eight runs in the six innings he worked. Harry Anderson drove in five runs with a three-run homer and two singles. Rip Repulski collected a homer and three •ingles, and Granny Hamner, Phils' leading hitter with a .531 average, had two more hits. Bill Skowron continued his hot hitting for the Yanks, driving in four runs with a pair of singles. Skowron has 33 rbi and a .417 average. Don Cardwell and Dick Farrell pitched for Philadelphia. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (/P) Knoxville of the class A Sally league will provide the first pro fessional baseball setting for the 100-grand hope of the Baltimore Orioles, Dave Nicholson. It's a promotion for the 18- year-old outfielder from St. Louis. Manager Paul Richards of the Orioles thought when spring training started that Nicholson would have to begin at the bot tom of the minor league ladder with a Class D team. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

Sports Dope ~. Penn State’s basketball team, which lost more games than it won for the second time in 10 years, had no difficulty choosing an all-opponent team. Named to the all-star five were Guy Rod gers, Temple; Jon Cincebox, Syr acuse; Jerry West, West Virginia; Don Hennon, Pitt; and Hal Dan rig, Bucknell. ' At the end of training Wednes day, Richards said of his decision to send Nicholson to Knoxville: “The boy has guts. He’ll fight his way. If we find out he’s over his head, we’ll drop him a notch. We’ll be m constant touch. He has improved greatly here this spring, but he’s still got a long way to go.” The improvement noticed by Richards must have been in batting practice. Nicholson came to bat only 11 limes in spring exhibition games. He got one hit. a home run. It was his long ball hitting that drew every major league lub ex cept Detroit to the Nicholson home in January when his high school class graduated. "I'm ready to go out look for ward to it, because I've got to play regularly lo improve." Nicholson said of his shipment to Knoxville. “I’ve done better the last couple of weeks and I’ve got my confi dence back. I’m getting some wood on the ball no matter what they throw. I can always hit the fast ball.” Nicholson is to report to Knox ville next Wednesday. Basebaflers Blast W.
