Lions At Full Strength
For Clash With Tigers
Penn State, hampered by injuries to key players during
the early stages of the 1960 campaign, will be at full strength
Saturday for the homecoming encounter with Missouri.
Returning for full duty are ends Henry Oppermann and
Bob Mitinger, and guard Wayne * * *
Berfield,
Another end, John Boziclt, also
returns but he will be used spar
ingly.
Halfback Eddie Caye, who
sprained his ankle just three
days after leading Penn State
to a 20-0 win over Boston Uni
versity in the opener, has been
declared fit and will be in the
starting lineup Saturday.
Mitinger, a junior,:has been run
ning with the first unit in prac
tice this week and will probably
start against the Tigers.
Mitinger, Bozick, and Bertield
were injured in pre-season drills
and missed the opener.
Oppermann, recovering from
summer knee surgery, was used
only as a kicker against the Ter : -
riers.
Tackle Jim Smith, who injured
his knee against 13. U., is in good
shape now, but he lest his start
ing job to Jerry Farkas.
With his lineup swelled by the
return of such tested vets, En
gle devoted considerable tune
to passing drills this week.
The Ripper is assuming that
Missouri's line will be tough to
handle and therefore he may look
to his air attack more than he did
in the opener.
"I doubt that we'll be able to
grind out enough drives to stay
ahead of what obviously is a
wide open Missouri team," Engle
said, "so we may have to balance
things with some passing."

ing at. I just listened and didn'tl
commit myself."
