Five Lion Gridders Move up to Ist Unit Rip Engle decided to play checkers yesterday and after he got done five new faces jumped to the first unit. Moving up are ends Bob Mitinger and John Bozick, tackle Charley Janerette, guard Frank Korbini, and halfback Roger Kochman. Mitinger and Bozick replace Henry Opperman and Norm Neff, Janerette moves to the right tackle position in place of Tom Mulroney. Korbini replaces Bill Popp at right guard and Koch man takes over for Dick Hoak. "Those aren't demotions for the boys," Engle said, "They're pro motions for the others for their 'showing Saturday." The promotion for Mitinger is his second this year. He start ed the season on the third unit, moved up to the second midway in the campaign, and now is on the first. Korbini and Janerette have been moving up and down all year. Janerette started the season at : the first unit left tackle slot and started there in three of the first ; four games. Andy Stynchula 'moved up after that and has been there ever since. So Engle decided to switch Janerette to the right side of the line for the Holy Dross game Saturday. Korbini looked like he had the right guard slot all wrapped up when he twisted his knee in the Illinois game three weeks ago. He missed the West Virginia game, and last weekend played on the second unit against Syra cuse. Kochman moves up by vir tue of his performances against Syracuse and West Virginia.
