PAGE FOURTEEN Tackle, Loaded By JOHN BLACK Assistant Sports Editor (This is the last in a three part series on the Penn State football team ly positions. Nine returning leltermen and a couple of high-pitched Individual battles for first-string berths give Nittany grid mentor Rip Engle cause to smile when he muses over one of the brighter areas in the pre-season outlook guard and tackle. A pair of two-year numeral winners return at each of the two positions. Tom Mulianey and Andy Stynchula head the return mi! tackles while Bud Kohlhaas and Sain Stellatella are the two year vets at the interior post. Hut Stynchula, who was a pre season All-East pick of Stanley Woodwaid's football magazine, has found tough competition from big Chuck Janerette at left tackle, v/inle ovei at right guard a fierce battle rages between Frank Kor bini and Hill Popp. Although glum over the slug gishness and injuries that have forced limited contact drills this fall, Engle brightens when speaking of these two positions. "Those boys are putting up a tremendous battle, and it's this sort of thing that is helping io make our icam." says the Gray Eagle. Janerette, a burly 6-3, 227- pound lettennan, is seriously challenging Stvnchula, the player who last year logged 391 minutes of playing time—the most of any returnee Behind these two are sopho more Charlie Sieminski, tallest of the crop at 6-5, and Gerry i Farkas, a 222-pounder up from the freshmen. Korbmi and Popp have been at ■war over the right guaul slot since the opening day of practice this September. Popp held the job last year as a sophomore but the hard-charging Korbini won the award as the most improved play er in spnng practice and may wrest the starting assignment away from Popp. Senior John Sava is next in line at the slot followed by Ron Al lison, 190-pound junior. On the other side of center. 222-pound Bud Kohlhaas. the biggest guard on the squad.

Only the 1935 team lost (7-8) lpore games than it won. Guard Positions With Lettermen Today's story covers guards and tackles.) I mi iinirni Charley Janeretie . . . starting tackle ¥ ¥ ¥ move* up lo the No. 1 left guard slot where he backed up Chuck Ruslavage last fall. The ranks thinned when Stellatella was injured last week and Dick Butterfield, Pete Cimino and A 1 Maiello are fighting for the re serve slot. Bob Gilmour, a vet eran tackle from Haddonfield, N.J.. may be moved over in Stellatella'* absence. j Senior Tom Mulrancv, last years starting right tackle, is en-j trenched at his old position. The’ 6-2, 212-pounder is backed up by stew Baiber, a junior who saw 119 minutes of playing time at the end last year. The big fellow made the switch well enough to earn his place on the second [unit. Sophomore behemoth Jim Amith follows Barber on the depth chart. The Lion’s forward wall will miss the defensive crashes of the graduate Chuck Ruslavage. Blue- Gray All-Star pick in ’5B, but for the most part should be stronger than last year between end and center.

PENNSYLVANIA ¥ ¥ ¥ 'Lippy'Quits; Rumored As Tribe Head HOLLYWOOD (IP) Leo; Durocher yesterday quit his; $65,000 a year job with NBC-! TV to return to baseball as aj manager, possibly with the' Cleveland Indians. Durocher, reached as he was ; about to boaid a jetliner for Pitts-j burgh, was reluctant to discuss a ,report he was going back to the ! game where he piloted the Brook-J lyn Dodgers and New York Gi iants to championship years, i ‘‘Yes, it’s true that I have noti fied NBC that I was not re-sign ing my contract which expires 'Oct. 1 but I have never told any one that I was going back to base ball. I guess they were all right in assuming that. ‘‘But I can’t say anything be cause I'm in the midst of ne gotiation.” A reporter pressed him: "Is it baseball 9 ” "Yes,” answered Durocher, "it’s! baseball.” : "Is it the Cleveland Indians?”, asked the reporter. j “I can't say anything about that,” he answered. ! A source close to Durocher ati |NBC told a reporter the Indians’; General Manager Frank Lane [approached Durocher six weeks [ago to get him to take over the club in the American League stretch drive with the Chicago White Sox. “Leo told Lane then that he wouldn’t break his contract with NBC but that he was interested in the job,” the source added. Accenting the Indians’ report was Lane’s blast at Indian Mana ger Joe Gordon that only a mir acle—winning the pennant—could get Gordon the job in 1960. Durocher once told a reporter the only type of deal that would lure him back to baseball would |be a stock deal. Under such a deal, a manager ! could hold onto the stock for a number of years and then sell it at the tax-favorable capital gains, meanwhile watching it go up in value if a pennant contender was developed. Since leaving big league base ball, Durocher has been a talent relations executive for NBC and for the last two years, commen ;tator on the network’s “Game of .the Week” telecast.
