Engle Seeks 100th Win
Tomorrow Against Cadets
For a man who never planned on making a career out
of coaching, Penn State's silver-haired, executive-looking
Rip Engle has come quite a way.
The former high school math teacher is starting his 18th
campaign as a college foptball coach, and if his Lions defeat
Array tomorrow, win No. 100 will * * *
go into the record books for the
Ripper
"That 100th win will be nice
to get, especially, if it comes
Saturday," Engle said yesterday
after running the Lions through
their final full scale practice
session before the Beaver Sta
dium clash with the Cadets.
"Yes, for a guy who never in
tended to go into coaching, I guess
a record like that's not too bad."
Engle smiled as he leaned
against the locker room wall talk
ing about the long road that led
him from Waynesboro High
SchOol to Brown University to the
Nittany Valley.
"When I got out of college in
1930 during the depression I
wanted a job in industry," he
said. "but things were a little
tough then and I had two good
offers to coach."
After some hesitance, Engle de
cided- to accept one of the offers.
He went directly from Western
Maryland College, where he let
tered in football, basketball, base
ball and tennis, to head coach at
Waynesboro.
In 11 seasons there his teams
won /16, lost 17 and tied 5. The
next year, 1941, he did graduate
work at ,Western Maryland. and
then moved to Brown as an as
sistant coach. Two years later he
was top man.
Engle made an aspicious debut
as a college coach, with his
Brown eleven running over an
outmanned Tufts squad, 44-0.
But the very next week he
found out how it feels to lose in
the big time. A pair of rampaging
bait-carriers from the banks of
the Hudson named Blanchard and
Davis ran all over Brown and led
Army to a 59-17 victory.
In the weeks, months and years
that followed that shocking de-
Nelson Sent to Minors
For Undisclosed Price
PITTSBURGH (AP) Veteran
first baseman Rocky Nelson was
sold yesterday by the Pittsburgh
Pirates to Toronto of the Inter
national League. The sale price
was not disclosed.
Nelson, 37, • used chiefly in
pinchhitting roles this season, hit
.195. He hit .290 in 1959 and .300
in 1960 when the Pirates won the
World Series.
The lefthanded slugger starred!
in the World Series, getting two;
hits in the first game and a
two-run homer in the seventh,
game.

an old score to settle

feat, Engle has won plenty of
football games, including 27 more
at Brown and 71 since corning to
State in 1950.
They say that time heals all
wounds, and certainly Engle
would remember the glorious
moments of those 99 victories
rather than the sinking feeling
in his stomach as Army rolled
to touchdown after touchdown
against "his" team. Or would
he?
Anyway, State's victories over
Army the past two years have
made Engle grin from ear to ear.
And when you roll back the
past and look at the facts, you
can't help feeling that there just
isn't a better team than Army for
Engle to beat for No. 100.

Pittsburgh
To Alternate
Three QB's
PITTSBURGH (/P) --Sopho
more Paul Martha will start
at quarterback for Pitt against
West Virginia tomorrow, but
there's no guarantee he'll be
in there for the second play.
Coach Johnny Michelosen said
yesterday he'll start the flashy
sophomore, but will continue to
:employ his system of alternating
;quarterbacks. That means juniors
;Sam Colella and Jim Traficant
j will probably see just as much
! action as Martha.
The Panthers haven't fared
too well this season with three
alternating at s i gn a 1-calling,
winning one and losing two.
"It used to be that we would'
get blamed for not using enough
quarterbacks," the Pitt coach said.
"Now, we're getting criticized for
using too many."
Michelosen agreed, however,'
that spot employment can bring
out spotty work.
"I think it creates some diffi
culty when one kid isn't in
there long enough to get the
feel of things," Michelosen said.
"But when one of them stands
out above the rest, we'll use .
him regularly."
Martha, a speedster noted for
his flashy running, started against
Washington last week after Co
lella had opened against Miami
and Baylor.
"I think Paul is our biggest
threat," Michelosen said. "He's
been coming along and playing"
pretty good football, We hope he
can move the ball club a little
bit for our attack has been falling,
down at times."
