NCAA Grid
Guide Cites
Penn State
Penn State is very much in
evidence in the 1960 edition of
the Official National Collegi
ate National Athletic Associa
tion Football Guide.
In a glimpse at the national
picture for 1960, Furman Bisher,
sports editor of The Atlanta Jour
nal, mentions Penn State and Sy
racuse as the teams responsible
for a restoration of Eastern grid
prestige.
Richie Lucas is the NCAA
Guide's consensus All-American
quarterback for 1951 He is pic
tured on page Se. Lucas joined
Army - end Bill Carpenter and
Syracuse guard Roger Davis on
the squad, the first time in 12
years that the East has landed
more than two players on the
NCAA AU-American Team.
Of the 23 game pictures in the
publication, two show the Nittany
Lions in action. One, called by
many the best football picture of
1959, shows tackle Andy Styn
chula's punt block against Syra
cuse. The other pictures tackle
Stew Barber, guard Bill Popp, and
center Jay Huffman trying in vain
to stop Pitt's Ivan Toncic from
scoring on a quarterback sneak.
In his look at the East, Wil
mington Journal Every-Evening
sports editor, Al Cartwright, tags
Penn State and Pitt as the teams
best capable of challenging Syra
cuse for the 1960 Eastern cham
pionship.

League President Warren Giles
said shortly after the meeting that
expansion is inevitable and in
vited both the American League
and the Continental League to
meet With the National League on
the matter.
Giles said, "the National
League today discussed major
league expansion at length. Ex
pansion by a new league and
expansion of present leagues
were both considered. The stan
dards for a new major league
were set forth• at Columbus last
year and were accepted by the
Continental League which so
far has not met them."
"If it develops that a new ma
jor league is impracticable," said
Giles, "the National League has
voted unanimously to expand its
membership to 10 clubs."
The expansion committee, in
addition to O'Malley, will consist
of Lou Perini, owner of the Mil
waukee Braves; John Galbreath,
owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates;
and Bob Carpenter, owner of the
Philadelphia Phillies.
The American League is on rec
ord as favoring expansion and al
ready has named a committee on
expansion to be headed by Del
Webb, co-owner of the Yankees.

Wide-open Play
By Grid Squad
Forecast in '6O
The running and passing abil
ity of quarterbacks Galen Hall
and Dick Hoak, a stronger end
corps, and a potentially potent
running attack indicates that the
Lion gridders may resort to a
wide-open style of play in 1960
possibly even more wide open
than the one directed by Richie
Lucas last year.
Roger Kochman, a big, explo
sive type runner, looms as the
key man in a veteran halfback
corps. The 6-1, 195-pound Koch
man gained 167 yards in 15 car
ries last season, averaging 11.1
yards per attempt. He scored four
touchdowns, twice on 17-yard
runs, one on a 52-yard run and
the other on a 100-yard kickoff
return.
Hall, understudy to Lucas in
1959, and Hoak, converted from
halfback, are tested runners and
well-suited to Penn State's roll
out type of quarterback play.
Hall proved his ability as a
passer last season, completing 16
of 36 for 220 yards. Hoak, a high
school quarteba2k, passed effec
tively this spring although he has
not played quarterback since his
freshman season in 1957.
Steelers Conduct
First Scrimmage
CALIFORNIA, Pa. (FP; Half
back Dave Ames, who played col
lege football for the University of
Richmond, scored two touchdowns
Monday in the first scrimmage at
the Pittsburgh Steelers football
camp.
Coach Buddy Parker indicated
he may drop some rookies from
the squad Tuesday. Veteran mem
bers of the team are scheduled to
begin arriving at camp Tuesday
night.

CINCINNATI 01 3 ) Powel
Crosley Jr., majority owner of the
Cincinnati Reds, said yesterday
the team will not leave Cincin
nati during his lifetime.
Crosley, 73, in Chicago for a
National League huddle, said in
a statement through the team's
home office:
"Recently there have been stor
ies based on unfounded rumors,
as there have been for many years.
flaring up that the Cincinnati
baseball club might be sold and
major league baseball taken away
from Cincinnati."
"None of these stories e,er has
;been authorized by me, nor have
,there ever been any negotiations
by me or any one in our organi
zation in this direction."
Crosley. Cincinnati industrialist
whose principal business affilia
tion > now is the baseball team,
noted the club has an agreement
'with the City of Cincinnati.
Similar rumors cropped up near
ly four years ago when Crosley
complained that parking for fans
around Crosley Field was inade
quate. He said other cities had
made attractife offers seeking to
lure major league baseball.
Shortly after Crosley's com
plaint, city officials—with Hamil
ton County—agreed to spend two
million dollars to improve park
ing around the ball park if the
team agreed to stay in the city
five years.
