The White House statement said U.S. Ambassador Jacob Beam "stands ready promptly to meet" at Warsaw with Red China's ambassador there. Wang Ping-nan. Thus, the United States sought of respond softly to the first break in the weeks-long Formosa crisis which has threatened to engulf the United States in war with Red China, if not ultimately the Soviet Union. U.S.-Red China talks previous ly had been held at Geneva in neutral Switzerland. But the White House statement emphasized that the U.S. adheres to its position that it will agree to nothing in the talks which would prejudice the rights of Na tionalist China. Officials hoped this would not be a bar to resuming the talks. Its main purpose was to keep Nationalist President Chiang Kai-shek from com plaining that the meetings might undercut his position. Repeated also in Saturday's statement was the U.S. attitude regarding Red China's claims on Formosa and the offshore islands also held by Chiang. It said Red China need not renounce these claims in making any pledge.

Welcome, New Student See Page 8 Engle Hit With New Grid Worry By LOU PFIATO Collegian Sports Editor An unexpected headache at center and the absence of vet eran ends have been the main problems facing football coach Rip Engle as he preps his 1958 gridders for the season's opener at Nebraska a week from Saturday. Engle, who has been running his team through two-a-day drills at Beaver Field since Monday, had figured his center position to be one of the team's strongest off the showing in Spring practice. He had six centers in the fold then led by Captain Steve Garban and transfer student Dick Wilson. The others—Dick Dill, Wayne Berefield, Bo b Vogelsong and Ed Romig—were just a few steps behind. Engle had been so confident over his center situation that he switch ed last year's starter. Charley Ruslavage, to the left guard slot. But Wilson, Vogelsong and Ro mig have not reported back to school and Dill broke his leg at Wednesday afternoon's practice session. He's through for the year. "We may have to shift Rus lavage back to center this Year," Engle said, "but not on a full time basis. He'll probably work at guard too. If only Wilson had come back. He was married over the summer and is helping his father-in-law with a farm in Vermont. He has a nice setup and probably won't come back." Engle is presently using Bere field behind Garban and newcom er Jim Mclntyre in the third spot. "Berefield's a little small, 'out he's looking real good so far. If he comes through it will help us a lot." Engle's other puzzle was caused by the graduation of the top fiire wingmen in 1957, in (Continued on page twenty-two) FIVE CENTS
