SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1960 Bruce Reserves Opinion On Freshmen Footballers Penn State coach Earl Bruce isn't admitting anything yet, but this year's crop of freshmen footballers could be one of the best in Nittany history. Six of Bruce's fledglings, Tom Urbanik (Donora), Frank Hershey (Lancaster), Ron Coates (Fayette City), Lou Shimoski (Bath), Don Caum (Harrisburg) and Ted Gregor (Van Voorhis) were Big 33 selections last year. * * * The Big 33 is a team of Penn sylvania high school Ail-Stars which meets a team composed of the top high school players in the nation. The game is played at Hershey each summer. Urbanik, who played one year at Stanton Military Academy, also was selected a fullback on the Mon-Valley All Conference team. Hershey, an all around athlete at Lancaster High. quarterbacked the Red Tornadoes to a Central Penn championship and an unde feated season last year. Caum, small for a quarter. back at 5'11" and 169 lbs, was nominated for the Big 33 team two straight years. However, the fleet signal caller from Central Dauphin High is only one (f five top prospects for the quarterback position. Hershey, Coates, Gary Wyd man, an all-state quarterback from Corning, N.Y., and Frank Potter of Folson are all in conten tion for the job. Bruce said State was interest ed in getting more linemen than backfield men this year. Twenty one of the 30 players on the froth team were linemen in high school. Bruce would not compare the current freshmen squad with last years team. Deftly evad ing the issue, he said, "The best way to rate a freshman team is after they have played three years of varsity ball."

Michigan State (No. 6) will ; match its crackerjack backfield duo of Gary Ballrnan and llerb Adderly against once-beaten Pitt's "C" boys, fullback Jim Cunningham and halfbacks Fred Cox and Bob Clemens. The game is on national tele vision (ABC), beginning at 12:30 p.m. EST. A big group of upsetters from last week should be hard pressed. Alabama (No. 5) goes after its :second SEC victory against Tu llane, which surprised California, 7-3. a week ago.

Missouri's Devine Has Enviable Record Missouri football coach Dan Devine Is a young man with young ideas and winning football teams. Only 35, Devine came to Missouri from Arizona State three years ago and optimistically predicted the Tigers would be among the nation's elite within five years. He was wrong. It took three. The Tigers weren't exactly the terrors of the Midwest when Devine succeeded Frank Broyles in 1957, but since then • Missouri has finished in the run- Missouri Seeks ner-up spot in the Big Eight con- ference two years in a row.

After slugging S.M.U.,' 20-0, last Devine, whose Tigers will ap pear at Beaver Stadium next ! Saturday, learned the coaching trade while serving as an assis tant at Michigan State for five years. His tutors were two of the best Biggie Munn and Duffy Daugherty. " He decided to try coachinq on his own in 1955 and took the head ,job at relatively unknown Ari zona State. After three years, Devine had a 27-3-1 record and in 1957 the Sun Devils went undefeated and wound up 12th in the nation. As an assistant at Michigan State, Devine was exposed to a Multiple-T offense which he used during his stay in Arizona. He also used it at Missouri in 1958, but last year the Tigers were almost entirely a T-forma tion team. Technically, Devine is a sound, ;progressive stud , :mt of offensive football and he is' very much in ,demand at football clinics. In fact, Devine and Penn Slate coach Rip Engle were two of the main speakers at an Air Force clinic in Garmisch, Germany. last --Dick Easterly, Syracuse Uni versity's fine alternate team qua: - terback and a Syracuse native, plays • left field for the Orange baseball team in the ::prinit, Saturday.

A long pass, cm : version and safety gave the Razorbacks their spread, while a " tow , h State line gave up just 123 rushing yards.

And defensively, rangy Danny iLaßose at end led a fiercely ag gressive Tiger line that held Mils itang barks to 39 net rushing yards pres , .ured S.M.U. passers into three interceptions.
