Af ter Saturday’s upset, a Pitt fra ternity sported a sign proclaim ing: “Penn State and Dewey. . . The annual crop of “all’’ teams is upon us in bigger and broader proportions . . . not content just to select an All-American foot ball squad and be done with it, United Press sends along a leng thy list of nominees for “all” con sideration while not committing itself yet to favoring any of them for top national honors. . . Penn Staters nominated by the UP for All-American honors in clude End Sam Tamburo, Tackle Negley Norton, Guard Paul Kel ly, Center Chuck Beatty, Quart erback Chuck Drazenovich, Tail back Elwood Petchell and Full back Francis Rogel. . . Speaking of Rogel reminds us that the extraordinary Lion line bucker dislikes to hear his name mispronounced. He says: "You pronounce it with the accent on the second syllable, like ‘hotel.’ ” .... Joe Colone's 66-yard romp against Temple was the longest of his career .... Even the ref congratulated Danny Kline, Lion terminal, on that spectacular block thrown in the Temple game. . . . .... Ray Hedderick, number two Nittany center, was a back ip high school and at California State Teachers College as a freshman. . . . Rogel Leads Nittany Ground Attack With 504-Yard Total Fran Rogel on the .ground and Elwood Petchel through the air continued to lead the Nittany yard-gainers after eight weeks of foot ball competition. Rogel, who smashed' through the Pitt line for 110 yards last Saturday, has a total of 504 yards to his credit on the ground, while Petchel, completing four passes against the Panthers, brought his season total to 46 completions in 93 attempts with a total yardage gain in the air of 616 yards. Wally Triplett still paces the team in yards per play from scrimmage with 424 yards in 63 plays for an average of 6.7 yards per carry. The team as a whole has marched 2527 yards .in eight games for an average of 316 yards each contest. In rushing, the team has piled up 1723 yards and in passing 80S yards. Bill Luther still holds top posi tion in the passing accuracy de partment with eight out of eleven passes going for 59 yards and one touchdown, All-Eastern end, Sam Tamburo, is far ahead of the other Nittany aerial snaggers with 16 passes caught for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Fran Rogel, with four passes and two touchdowns, Wally Triplett with six and one marker and Chuck Drazenovich with eight passes round out the leading Lion pass catchers. Defensively, the Lions have held opposition to 165 yards per game, 85 on the ground and 80 in the air. The eight teams bat tling the Nittany gridders have tried 129 passes with only 52 of them completed for a total of 641 yards. HOLIDAY An Advnntnre in d THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Higginsmen Fly (Continued from page one) rolled over Stanford, 14-7, Mon tana U., 48-0, and Washington, 10-0. Oregon handed the Northwest team its second loss and then the Cougars bounced back to top Idaho, 19-14, and tie Oregon Slate, 26-26. California, the Rose Bowl bound aggregation, failed to shut out Washington State but conquered it by 30 points,, 44-14. This will be the 10th and final game for the Cougars and the 9th for the once-defeated Nittany Lions. Outstanding in the Cougar roster is Frank Mataya, left hand ed quarterback who has compiled one of the best passing records on the Coast this year. In the first seven games, he has thrown a total of 80 passes and has com pleted 42 for a better-than-half average in completions. Six went for touchdowns. WILLIAMS In the ground attack, the Cou gars will have Jerry Williams, who scored three touchdowns against Oregon State and hard plunging fullback Gordy Bruns wick. The Washington State team runs for a “T” formation and on occasion uses the double “T” in which either the halfback of tail back can receive a direct pass from center. The Lions have tangled with the Cougars only once before and in that contest, the Higginsmen emerged with a 27-6 win. That game, played in the “Chocolate Bowl’’ at Hershey, started the win streak that was interrupted only by ties with Southern Methodist and Michigan State and was bro ken last week by Pittsburgh. Chuck Drazenovich, playing his Lion Seniors Play Finale Captain Joe Colone, Elwood Petchel, Wally Triplett and a host of others will close out their Penn State football careers against Washington State at Ta coma Saturday.
