TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1968 ~,,, Manager's Work Is Nev e r- Done Not too long ago, offensive backs were the only players to be heralded by football fans or the press. Many a football follower can remember the 1959 world champion Baltimore Colts. And they may talk of Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore, Alan Ameche, or Raymond Berry. Not very many, how ever, can remember the supporting players who helped the stars gain all the publicity. But tele vision changed all that. Thanks. to "isolated camera" techniques and all the other electronic gimmickry of the 1960'5, the nation's sports fans became aware of the de fensive stars and even the offensive linemen. For who could help but be awed as a nimble 240- ' IIA \ pound linebacker is "--- ______„ caught in slow-motion ,---- -- - ( :f" ‘- ) stop-action just as he ..) , c i .„..p) applies the cruncher to •,.- - r.-. - -1. „<, , - 1 ' a hapless runner. )1) ' l 'l'4' '( / -. , '-i• This n e w-found i ..,: r 5 { i %;,• i appreciation for the - ~ ~ 2 , („ linemen and defensive ''' ' ---' • );\ players has carried : ', ..,--., , ~.-/ over to the collegiate (/' lab./ ~_ .• - 1 -, 4.0.,c , level.

Those who can really follow the action might have even caught a glimpse of offensive tackle Rich Buzin opening a hole at the line of scrimmage or center Bill Len kaitis setting up the pocket to protect the passer. But still one group of participants went large ly unnoticed. They showed up at practice about a half hour before anybody else, and more times than not, they were the last to leave. And although spring football practice is nearly two weeks away, they began working yesterday.

Their equipment consists largely of water buckets, scrub brushes and laundry bags. And although they may not qualify as heroes, the Penn State football managers are certainly unsung. Allan Meyer, the new head manager, had his crew begin work yesterday to prepare for the up coming three weeks of spring practice. As usual, this was done without much fanfare. The Collegian didn't announce in 60-point type; "Managers Back at Work Again." President Johnson didn't make special note of the fact Sunday night when he dropped the biggest surprise since the Washington Redskins' Sam Huff announced he was hanging up the spikes for the last time. But nonetheless, the managers have begun their spring ritual. And, as usual, they are looking for some new blood to fill the ranks. Any student up to fourth term standing is welcome to try his hand at becoming part of the Penn State foot ball machine. "Not enough people know what the managers really do," said Meyer. "Some think we get schol arships like the football players. But being a man ager is like any other activity. There are no pre requisites and it doesn't take any outstanding abil ity." Anyone interested in becoming assistant football manager may fill out an application in Room 235 Rec reation Building. Numerous positions are available on the managerial staff. There are some characteristics, however, that a manager must have. Meyer lists a "desire to be part of Penn State football" and a "willingness to work" as two requirements of the job. It's hard to determine which requirement is most important, but the prospective manager must certainly be willing to work. The job carries with it responsibilities which range from handing out equipment to being a first-class scavenger on foot ball trips. "On away trips, a large part of the job is ful filling coaches' requests," Meyer said. "Sometimes we have to work pretty quickly. On one trip, Coach Paterno decided on Friday night that he wanted to have a Saturday morning Mass. It was up to the managers to arrange it.

Ca!l George Bergner Circulation Manager 865.2531 2384235 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA By DAN DONOVAN Collegian Sports Writer While most Penn State students returned home for their term break, six members of the varsity track team traveled to Florida to undergo a intensive conditioning program. According to coach John Lucas, ,"The purpose of the trip was to bridge the gap beween thejndoor •and outdoor seasons. It also was an attempt to bring as many men to campus in as best shape as possible." The six men who took the trip include the key men in Penn State's hope for a suc cessful outdoor season. Captain Warren Rock well led the team of seniors Bob Beam and Charlie Hull and juniors Ken Brinker, Steve Gentry and Bob Carter in the Southern so journ. The athletes endured a rigorous sched ule of three workouts daily during their week of activity. The workouts included running on -the beaches, sprinting on a track and lifting weights. These trackmen returned so strong from their trip that Lucas is optimistic about his squad's chances against strong Army this week at West Point and against undefeated Villanova next week. The highlight of the. trip was the 25th annual Florida Relays in Gainesville last IM Entries Due For Swim, V-Ball Men's intramural volleyball and swimming entriev ar,! now being t' ken at the Intramural Office, 206 Recreation Bldg.

It was up to the head manager to find them. None of the novelty shops in Jacksonville had any, but finally one place said they'd make them for $l5O. The idea was vetoed because of the cost." Although the managers do work hard, there are advantages to the job, and head manager Mey er is the first to tell of them. "All managers receive the intangible benefits of being associated with the football team," Meyer said. "Getting to know the coaches and players is a rewarding experience for anyone. And there are the material benefits of training table meals and trips to away games. Of course, the best of all is a bowl game. Last year we had a two-week expens es-paid trip to Florida." Any freshman who joins Meyer's staff now as an assistant manager could reasonably expect to make at least one a- way trip in the fall. It's on the away trips that the managers are the busiest. They have to keep track of all the players and be certain that people are where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be. On game day— whether home or away a manager is kept hopping. "First, we prepare the supplies of orang- ALLAN MEYER es, chocolate bars, ice .. . a rewarding job and gum," Meyer said. "We take the equipment to the stadium and set up the locker room. Before the game, all the uniforms are given to the players. During the game, balls have to be run into play, and players are supplied with towels and water. At all times, a manager should be prepared to fix or replace any equipment. After the game, equip- ment has to be gathered and taken care of." Meyer had his crew of managers working yes terday as they readied the field for mkt week's opening of spring practice. It didn't .cause much stir In the sporting world,. but there is still hope. If only the slow-motion, stop-action cameras would zero in on a manager. . Saturday. Although outrun by, the highly condi tioned Southern schools, State's runners made a fine showing compared to other Northern teams. Penn state's finest showing came in the 440-yard relay. The team of Caster, Brinker, Hull and Beam was the top Northern four some in the race as they finished in 41.5, just .2 - Ora second off the school record. The race was a thrilling one, with six yards separating the first place team and State's sixth place finishers. Rockwell gave the Lions their other medal by finishing fifth in the triple jump with a leap of 48 feet. The workhorse of the team was Brink er, as the fleet junior participated in four events. Besides running second on the relay team, Brinker ran the 120-yard high hurdles in 14.6, traveled the 440-yard intermediate hurdles in 55.0 and led the sprint medley relay team to a seventh place finish. Lucas called the trip "highly success ful" and also indicated his desire that next year more players would be allowed to make the trip. The coach said he hopes "three times as many men will. be able to travel next season, strengthening the team in early outdoor meets." WARM BODIES WANTED NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY NEEDED: PEOPLE FOR THE EDITORIAL STAFF OF THE DAILY COLLEGIAN CANDIDATE SCHOOL April 9 - 161 Willard It was Close Aunts raccr H s Its Chi, Atts PHOENIX, Ariz. (?P) You have to look hard to find chinks in the San Francisco Giants' armor, but they are there. Except for getting in shape, spring .training and its necessary exhibition games mean nothing, contends Man ager Herman Franks. ' Yet the Giants were worried enough about first base man Willie McCovey's lack of hitting to send him to a hospital for a checkup. McCovey, Who hit .276 with 31 home runs and 91 runs batted in last year, had only one extra base hit, a double, in the first 10 exhibition games. "He's not getting his bat out in front," said hitting Coach Hank Sauer. Hiatt, Cline First Jack Hiatt, a .275 hitter while playing most of his 73 games as a catcher last year, and Ty Cline, .270 in 64 games as an outfielder, have played first in spring train ing. - Besides McCoveyrthe only left-handed hitters are Cline and rookies Ken Henderson, Don Mason and Bob Schro der. Henderson and Mason are expected to start the season at Phoenix of the Pacific Coast League. Ron Hunt, acquired from Los Angeles, and shortstop Hal Lanier, will give the Giants a solid double play combination. The Giants gave up long ball hitting catcher Tom Haller for Hunt and in fielder Nate Oliver Dick Dietz, who hit ,225 in 56 games for the Giants last year, is regarded as most likely to catch the opening game. He and Bob Barton, who hit .293 in 103 games for Tacoma, Wash. of the PCL last year, have hit well this spring. Bob Etheridge, 25, is making a strong bid for third base. Etheridge hit .325 in 91 games last sea son for Phoenix. He is good insurance in case Jim Davenport can't go the full season at third. The outfielder is set WILLIE MAYS with Jim Ray Hart, .289 . says he's fit with 29 homers last year, in left; Willie Mays in center; and Jesus Alou, the Giants leading hitter at .292, in right.. 011ie Brown, .267 in 120 games last year, is the fourth outfielder. Mays, who had his poorest season at .263 with 22 homers, says he is fit and ready to play, Eight Clinched It is believed the Giants will go into opening day with nine pitchers and eight already have cinched jobs: Juan Marichal, Ray Sadecki, Mike McCormick, Ron Herbel, Bob Bolin, Gaylord Perry, Joe Gibbon and Frank Linzy. That leaves veterans Bill Henry and Lindy McDaniel among others, fighting for one job. If they are to improve on their second-place finish, 10 1 / 2 games back, the Giants must get better pitching from Marichal and another good year from Cy Young Award winner McCormick. Marichal, beset by injuries, was 14-10 last year after four straight seasons of 20 or more victories, For Results-Use Collegian Classifieds SENIORS!
