WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27. 1961 Engle Pleased With Play Of Reddie Unit Sophs By JIM KARL Navy had so many sopho mores running in and out of the lineup Saturday that everybody overlooked six first year men who played a lot of football for Penn State. Navy Coach Wayne Kardin used all 36 of the players comprising his traveling squad in the 20-10 loss to State. Rip Engle didn’t go quite that far but three sopho mores and three holdovers were included among State’s first two units. Harrison Rosdahl, a holdover guard who moved up to the first unit when Bob Hart tore the ligaments in his knee in pre-season drills, was the only non-leiterman to start. But there was a sharp dip in experience on State’s Reddie Unit. Guard Dick Wilson and center Bill Saul were the only linemen who earned a letter last year and fullback Buddie Torris and halfback Roger Kochman the only experienced hands in the back field. Sophomore Gary Wydman start ed at the other halfback slot and although Galen Hall quarter backed both State’s starting and Reddie units most of the after noon, sophomore Don Caurn saw enough action in the final period to direct the Lions to their final TD. Reddie Unit linemen Dick An derson (end) and Terry Monaghan (tackle) also saw their initial game action against Navy. Pete Liske, another holdover, played almost the entire game on de fense.

"They made some mistakes Saturday but they are all fine prospects and I think they learned something,” Engle said. "With the experience we gained Saturday we'll be bel ter against Miami than we were against Navy. We'll be better with each game. But don't for get Miami has played two games already. We ran up against the same problem last year when we played Missouri." (State lost to the Tigers, 21-8, after downing Boston Univer sity in the opener.) Engle was especially happy over the play of Anderson in his role as Reddie Unit end and with 'Liske on defense. But Caum with his touchdown run and Wydman with a 46-yard pass reception drew most of the notices in the press box. The little signal-caller from Central Dauphin spent most of the game on the bench until the fourth quarter when Hall was kicked on the ankle. I Caum didn’t waste any time getting the Lions a touchdown. After State took over the ball on its own 32, following a Navy punt, he passed 46 yards to Wydman. One running play netted 3 yards, then Caum raced around end 19 yards to paydirt. Traficant Doubtful Starter Against Baylor Saturday I PITTSBURGH (AP)— Pitt foot ball coach Johnny Michelosen jsaid yesterday it appears almost I certain No. 1 quarterback, Jim 'Traficant, will not play in the Baylor game Saturday at Pitt Stadium. Traficant, considered the team’s best passer, is nursing a knee in jury suffered in pre-season prac tice. i At the same time, Michelosen predicted a tough time for Pitt against Baylor. “We could get beat badly, by a lot of points,” the coach said. “You have heard about Baylor’s fast backs and willingness to pass from anywhere on the field. But their line isn’t to be overlooked either.” Spend an evening of fun bowling on our auto matic, A.B.C. approved alleys. Open dally & Sun. 7-12 p.m. 128 Pugh St. State College, Pa.
