WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1961 High Spirits, Good Conditioning Make Midshipmen Dangerous By JIM KARL Football coaches usually don’t burden themselves with a lot of rules, but there is one old axiom that is always safe to remember: "Never under estimate a service team.” Penn State’s opener with Navy at Beaver Stadium Saturday may shape up to oddsmakers and fans as just a routine game for the Lions, but Rip Engle and his coaching staff know better. "Navy is in an excellent posi tion to pull some upsets, start ing with our game/' Engle said. "No one really expects too much of Navy, so there's no pressure on them. They'll be re laxed and a relaxed team can be dangerous. I look for them to be high-spirited and extreme ly well-conditioned." Wayne . Hardin lost 17 letter men. including All-American Joe Bellino, from last year’s Lambert Trophy winners, but the Navy coach is surprisingly optimistic. He has a veteran line and al though his backfield is inexper ienced. the potential is there. The Middies have a scatback from Williamsport who Coach Gridiron Notes Rip Engle doesn't think all the ballyhoo that Penn State has been getting this year will make his gridders over-confi dent. "Not our kids," Engle said. "They know what they have to do and they'll do it" . . . Rumor has it that the editors of Sports Illustrated couldn't decide whether to feature Bob Mitin ger or Ernie Davis in their foot ball edition.

Navy captain Joe Palerno calls “the closest 1 thing they have to Joe Bellino' this year.” j "He's their flankerback." Pa- j ierno said. "In Navy's setup | the same halfback is the flank- | er all the time. Stewart is a j good, all-round back.

Greg Mather and Gary Kellner are the lettermen and Jim Camp bell, an all-round athlete from Homestead, Pa., is the sopho more. Hardin has three lettermen, Larry Graham, Dick Fitzgerald and Ron Testa, returning at tac kle and two highly-rated guards in John Hewitt and Vein Von Sydow. Hewitt saw more action last year than anyone but departed center Frank Visted. He will cap tain the Midshipmen. Steve Hoy was switched from guard to center with the departure of Visted and Pater no rates him as one of the top linebackers in the nation. Hardin was non-committal on his starting lineup but the first team backfield will probably in clude Ron Klemick at quarter back, Stewart and Carl Fink at halfback and Ron Bell at full back."
