`Strong'
Now Nuisance to Engle
(This is the third in a series oft
Penn State's 1958 football out
look. Today—the halfbacks.)
If someone had told Coach Rip
Engle a couple of weeks back
that he would be having night
mare~ otiyr his halfback positions
this season, he would have prob
&lily sent them to a psychiatrist.
But it's Engle who may visit
that psychiatrist now,
For what had seemed like one
of Penn State's strongest posi
tions when pre-season drills be
gan has turned into a real
nuisance.
First Lou Luce, a highly-rated
sophomore who along with his
'57 frosh teammate Jim Kerr had
been touted as the solvents for
the Lions' lack of backfield speed,
(ant the team Then Kerr was hit
by a series of injuries which has
kept his contact work at a mini
mum.
Next, Eddie Caye, the Lions'
first team right halfback, and
the third leading rusher last fall,
was sidelined for the season with
a torn ligament in the knee.
And to top this off, reserve
right half, Jack Urban, a sturdy
little spot player, was laid up
for at least five weeks with a
fractured arm. That casualty, the
latest in a series for the Lions,
occurred S a t u r day—just when
Engle had figured his bad luck
had expired.
With Caye and Urban lost, En
gle has ben forced into some
fast shuffling in the backfield.

Now, Engle is toiling with the

Kerr's old left half slot. Confus

ex-paratrooper who played on

football, was the Lions' top
ground gainer last fall with
469 yards in 122 attempts for a
3.84 average.
"Kasperian has maintained his,
