Engle Isn't Kidding—Lions
Face Problem at Halfback
By JIM KARL
Rip Engle isn't kidding when
he says that one of his problems
this spring is to uncover some
able-bodied halfbacks.
The search for a replacement
for Reddie unit quarterback Dick
Hoak and a pair of second unit
ends have received far more pub
licity than the halfback problem,
but Engle is equally concerned
over the loss of Jim Kerr, Dick
Pae and Eddie Caye.
Kerr was a standout last year,
leading the team in scoring.
rushing, pass receiving and
kickoff returns.
He became the second player in
history to score three touchdowns
against Army when he smashed
across for three tallies against the
Cadets last fall.
Kerr and Pae were right half
backs and Caye went both ways.
Their graduation leaves a gaping
hole at the right halfback spot.
Don Jonas and Al Gursky,
the top two left halfbacks last
fall, return along with Roger
Kochman, and Engle ma y
switch one of these three to
right half.
.Kochman, a junior, was out all
last year with a knee injury. If
he recovers the form he flashed
as a sophomore he could fill
Eagle's need for a breakaway
back. •
Both Jonas and Gursky have
foregone spring drills to play base
ball, but Kochman, one of Joe
Bedenk's flycatchers last year,
has decided to put his knee to
the test.
"His timing is off but he's
working hard," Engle said when
asked about his star speedster.
"He certainly hasn't shirked
any contact."
Engle said that junior Bob Kline
and sophomores Steve Popp and
Cris Weber have the inside track
to the right halfback slot after
five days of spring drills.
Another of Engle's problems,
the search for a replacement for
a quarterback on the Reddie unit,
remains unsolved.
However, Engle expects to
have a good idea about who
will fill Hoak's shoes by May 6,
the date of the Blue-White
game.
Six candidates—varsity hold
overs Pete Liske and Frank Sin
cek—and freshmen Don Caum,
Gary Wydman, Ron Coates, and
Frank Potter are fighting for the
job.
"Liske and Sincek have both

idone well this spring," Coach Joe
IPaterno said. "Pete is a gangly
kid—not much of a runner right
!now. But he's improving and he's
idevoted to becoming a good foot
)ball player. He has natural leader
;ship ability"
"Sincek is a better runner
than Pete but has to improve
his passing," he said. "Both are
good on defense. Sincek and
Liske are a little ahead of the
others right now.

around quite a bit to give them
a chance to play on all the units."
Team physician Alfred H. Griess,
said that Potter, a 5-10, 168-pound-:
er from Folsom, Pa., suffered a
recurrence of a knee injury last'
week and may have to undergo:
surgery after spring drills.
One of Engle's more obvious
problems is a lack of depth at
end. The first unit positious will
be filled by Bob Mitinger and
Dave Robinson, but the termi
nal posts on the Reddie unit are
up for grabs.
Engle also must find replace-'
ments for All-East tackle Stew
Barber, who signed a professional
contract with the Buffalo
and first unit guard Bill Popp.
