Hig Recalls Mudfest,
Starts Top Lion Team
Remembering last year's narrow victory over a poorly-rated
Temple eleven, Coach Bob Higgins will inject the same high-powered
attack into tomorrow's game against the Owls that was used to bring
the Nittany gridders' undefeated streak to 16 straight contests last
week.
In last year's close call, the Lions were listed as 20-point favorites
to crush the weak Philadelphia team, but the handicappers didn't
allow for Jupe Pluvius who turn
ed the field into a quagmire.
A "sleeper" play in the first half
lmost netted the Owls a touch
own, but the Lions held the Tern
lars scoreless. Not until the third
uarter was the highly - favored
'enn State able to scrape together
9 yards in 16 plays for the only
larker of the game. Bobby Wil
ams scored the TD and Ed Czekaj
'f'ked the point.
YARDAGE
Should the weatherman give the
)od to the Nittany team, the Penn
tate backs will have a chance to
lie up additional yardage to their
'ready heavy tallies.
Little Elwood Petchel leads the
arade this week with 632 yards
. 1 total offense, while Wally Trip
-At paces ground gainers with 390
ards.
Blockbusting Fran Rogel picked
ip 75 yards and two touchdowns
n last week's victory over Penn
o boost his season's total to 340
- ards. Tailback Bill Luther with
' 67 yards and 'Captain Joe Colone
•pith 107 yards complete the list of
he top five offensive leaders of
he week.
Although he dropped from his
arly October average of almost
5 yards per try, Triplett still av
crages 8.3 yards on every carry to
I^.ad the Nittany backs in that de
partment. Pet chel averages 5.8
yards each time he handles the
ball and Rogel and Luther average
a little over four.
PERCENTAGE
Throwing nine scoring passes,
Petchel completed over 50 percent
of his tosses for 560 yards in 75
Attempts. With one scoring flip and
:wo - thirds of his passes hitting
'heir marks, Bill Luther gained

Wide Open
Coach Ra y Morrison, who
brings an underdog Temple elev
en to State College tomorrow,
was the instigator, more or less,
of the wide-open brand of foot
ball that is associated with the
Southwest.
His greatest success was achiev
ed at Southern Methodist, where
he developed a passing game that
set the style for all Southwestern
teams and brought about,the ulti
mate. development. of. Sammy
Baugh, Davey O'Brien, Doak Wal
ker, Bobby Lane an d other
thread-needle chuckers in the
Lone Star State.
Morrison, who had gone to
SMU from Vanderbilt, showed
football-minded fans, as well as
the coaches in that section, that
it was much less work and cer
tainly more spectacular to score
touchdowns on long passes.
Duby Does It
He has a player on his Temple
squad who, they tell us, can hold
his own with any passer when it
comes to uncoiling his arm and
letting the ball go for 50 or SO
yards. He's Paul Dubenetsky,
who is not nimble-footed else he
would play regularly.
Instead he's a spot performer,
and whenever the situation calls
for a long-distance aerial tomor
row, we look for Dubenetzky to
show. According to the official
"drum-beater" for Temple, he
tosses the pigskin as if it were a
baseball.
Variety
Morrison, by the way, has re
turned this year to the single
wingback style of attack, He em
ployed it successfully over the
years but dropped it several sea
sons ago because the "T" forma
tion suited his material better.
But he hasn't tossed the "T"
out completely. He also gives his
quarterbacks instructions to run
some stuff from that, too, in ad
dition to the winged-"T." The lat
ter combines features of both the
"T" and single wing, so dear
knows what we'll see tomorrow
on the New Beaver stripes.
Faux Pas
We confess, after viewing mo
vies of the Penn-Penn State fray.
We were one of those press-box
creatures who were caught with
their glasses down when Francis
Rogel bulled through Penn for 44
yards and a touchdown.
Films of the game leave us red
faced in showing clearly that
"Punchy" bulled ,through—n o t
Chuck Bednarik—as we thought
but a couple tacklers on the
strong side of the Quaker line.
Bednarik backed up the weak
side, and was completely out of
the play.
We draw a paltry picayune of
solace from the fact that we
weren't the only one to commit
the faux pas.
