Kotula Sidelined for 3 Weeks
Nittanies
Of Schleicher, Bohart
Two Penn State regulars who missed the 43-0 rout over Penn last Saturday because
of injuries will probably return to action this weekend when the Lions face fifth-ranked
Army at West Point.
End Maury Schleicher and tackle Joe Bohart weren't needed in the onslaught over'
the Quakers, but their presence in the lineup Saturday should give the rebounding Nit
tanies a big lift.
Schleicher will definitely start
against the Cadets but Bohart
may • only see limited reserve
duty. Schleicher dressed for the
Penn tussle but was held out in
order to give his thigh time to,
heal. He had been suffering from,
a painful charley horse.
Bohart's status is questionable,
although Coach Rip Engle is hop
ing for the giant lineman's return.
'Bohart injured his right ankle
'against Nebraska almost two
weeks ago and was on crutches
most of last week. He will give
,his ankle the acid test this after
noon when he dons full equip
ment for the first time since the
,injury.'

Ruslavage
'Player of
By MATT MATHF.WS, Associato Sports Editor
The 43-0 victory over Penn was so much a team effort—with
nearly everybody playing a great game—that the Penn State sports
family had an exceptionally hard time of coming up with the
"Player of the Week." Of the five votes cast, only two agreed on
the same athlete—guard Chuck Ruslavage.
The offensive guard and linebacker received' the votes of Cen
tre Daily Times sports editor Ron
Field and WMAJ sportscaster
Mickey Bergstein.
In making the admittedly tough
pick, Field commented: "All our
backs and our line .looked good.
What swayed my vote is that I
try to keep track of the tackles
during the game and most of the
time I was writing down `Rus
lavage'."
The sports voice of WMAJ,
Bergstem, said he favored Rus
lavage and picked Al Jacks as
the outstanding back.
University sports publicist Jim
Tatman pointed out that Rusla
vage was also the outstanding
lineman pick in the Penn press
box Saturday. "Even though all
our backs were outstanding Satur
day," commented Turman, "the
consensus seemed to be that the
line won the game for us. That's Chuck Ruslavage
why I think Ruslavage is a good pick for the top player. He was
good on offense and particularly outstanding on defense."
Ruslavage had his own opinions of the lino play. This writer
was kidding him that he hadn't made any "flying tackles"like
the picture in Saturday's Collegian. He shot back with, "You don't
have to make flying tackles when the ends and tackles set up
clear shots for the linebackers like they did Saturday."
Alumni executive secretary Ridge Riley picked Steve Garban,
Collegian sports editor Lou Prato picked Pat Botula and this
writer chose Dave Kasperian.
Riley based his selection on Garban's field play and mainly
his job off the field as captain. "Steve provided the Lions with
really fine leadership when they needed it more than anything
else," commented the sportsman who has analyzed Penn State ath
letics for over 20 years.
"My choice was between Gasbag and Ruslavage," continued
Riley, "and Garban's special leadership after the Nebraska loss
swayed my decision."
In picking Botula, sports editor Prato felt Botula looked "twice
as good against Penn as he did against Nebraska when he won the
`Player of the Week' honor. And this time he had more blocking
ahead of him."

Despite the optimism over the
return of the two veterans.
there is pessimism in the Lion
camp over the injury to full
back Pat Haul& Bolula suf
fered a very bad elbow sprain
against Penn and will be forced
to the sidelines for at least
three weeks.
"I think that's the minimum
time he'll miss," team doctor Al
fred Griess said yesterday. "With
,the type of injury he has, he
could be out even longer. Our
X-rays showed no broken bones.
but I'm pretty sure from the Way
he acted that the elbow was dis
located and then jumped back in
to place."
Botula's injury is a tough
'blow for the Lions for the
p o wer- running line-smasher
had been Penn State's leading
ground gainer in both games—
rolling for a total of 194 yards
in 42 carries for a 4.6 average
per game. He had also caught
two passes for 13 yards.
Senior Andy Moconyi, a regu
lar at right half last year, will
replace Botula in the starting
fullback slot. Moconyi was on
the injury list earlier this year
with a twisted ankle. He missed
the Nebraska game, but off his
performance against Penn, no ill
effects were suffered. He rushed
for 40 yards against the Quakers,
carrying 11 times for a 3.7 aver
age per trip.

freshmen, are invited to the meet
