O'Hora Describes Purdue
As Tough Football Opponent
Dale Samuels
Key to Purdue
Grid Attack
The Nittany Lion football squad
will go up against win-starved
Purdue University this Saturday
and Assistant Coach Jim O'Hora,
who scouted Purdue against Wis
consin and Notre Dame, reports
that the Boilermakers are going
to be a /tough foe to handle.
With but one win in the recore
books and a losing streak of
three straight games, Coach Stu
Holcomb's squad has had a rough
time of it so far this season and
the Boilermakers would like
nothing better than to jump back
on the victory trail when they
meet Penn State in Lafayette,
One Win. Four. Losses
O'Hora reports that Purdue is
a much- better ball club than its
four losses and one win record
indicates. He pointed out that all
four of the Boilermaker's losses
came at the hands of grid powers.
After losing to Texas in the
opener, 14-0, Holcomb's squad
edged lowa, 34-3,0, for its only
win. Miami of Florida downed
the Boilermakers in their next'
outing, 7-0. Tough Wisconsin and
Notre Dame also took the meas
ure of the Purdue gridders. Wis
consin won 31-7, while Notre
Dame whipped the , Boilermakers,
30-9.
"Purdue is a typical Big Ten
team," said O'Hord. "They have
a hard, rough ball club. They
have a strong passing attack with
a good passer and good receivers."
Samuels Good Passer
The Lion coach spoke highly of
Dale Samuels, Purdue's aces quar
terback and passer.
"Samuels is a good passer and
he's fast and shifty. He likes to
run but not as much as (Harry)
Agganis."
O'Hora went on to say that the
Boilermakers depend a great deal
on Samuels' passing in their of
fensive attack.
"Their passing ‘ attack is 40 per
cent of their offense. They threw
26 passes against Notre Dame and
33 against Wisconsin."
Strong Defense
Bernard Flowers is an excel
lent receiver according to O'Hora
and is .Samuels' favorite targets
The Purdue quarterback also has
two other capable receivers in
Leo Sugar and Darrel Brewster.
Defensively, Purdue has a big,
strong ball team. The Bo ile r
maker's defensive line averages
234 pounds. The Lion scout hinted
that the Lions might have to take
to the air Saturday to beat the
Indiana school.
"They are a little weak on pass
defense," said O'Hora. "Wiscon
sin gained 139 yards along the
ground but 98 of the yards were
accounted for by runs of 82 and
16 yards by Wisconsin's Al Ame
che."
Klezek Best Runner
Last Saturday against Notre
Dame, the Boilermakers gave the
Irish a battle all through the first
half but wilted in the second half
and 'dropped the ball game, 30-9.
After the game, Notre Dame
Coach Frank Leahy said that his
team had played its best game of
the season in that contest.
O'Hora reports that Purdue's
top running threat is probably
halfback Phil Klezek who he des
cribes as a hard runner. In Pur
due's first three contests, Klezek
gained 135 yards for a per play
average of 4.82 yards. Klezek did
not play against Notre Dame be
cause of an injury received in
the Wisconsin contest.
The meeting of Penn State and
P u r due SatUrday in Lafayette
will mark the first time the two
schools have met on the gridiron.

Boilermakers' Passing Ace
DALE SAMUELS, Purdue's ace passing quarterback will be the
man the, Nittany Lions will have to stop when they meet the
Boilermakers this Saturday in Lafayette, Ind. A junior, Samuels
is currently one of the nation's top passers.
Circus Touchdown Pass
Places Lords over Co-op
The Lords scored on a fairtastic circus play last night to whip
Nittany Co-op, 7-0, and advance' to the/ quarterfinals of the IM
football tourney.
Although the scoring play went only 26 yards, seven different
players were in on the play. David Bennett passed to Michael Dorio,
who began a series of short passes that went from Joe Olney to
Ted MacDonald to Hibrace Mit
chell to 'Frank - Hortmann an d
finally to Dick Denison for the
touchdown. Dorio ran for the ex
tra point.
McPhee, Perry
Top Linemen
NEW YORK, Oct. 30—(JP)--A
pair of tall, sure-handed ends
from Michigan were named to
day as the Associated Press line
men of the week.
Frank McPhee of the Tigers
was rated tops for his great de
fensive work in Princeton's stun
ning 53-15 defeat of• Cornell, and
Lowell Perry of the Wolverines'
for his spar.ing offensive play
as he scored ihree times in Mich
igan's 54-27 victory over Minne
sota.
Technically speaking, the
speedy Perry actually made one
of his touchdowns as Michigan's
safety man, running'bacl a punt
75 yards past the startled Go
phers. His offensive work, how
ever, overshadowed the efforts
of other players nominated in
the weekly AP poll.
Oddly enough, McPhee also has
considerable experience as a 'de
fensive back, having spent his
sophomore season last year with
Princeton's defensive platoon.
But he was at left end iast
Saturday, however, an d Rodeo
Calvo and the other Cornellians
won't soon forget that fact. Calvo
was supposed to keep Cornell in
the game with his passing, but
everytime he looked downfield
for his receivers he saw instead
the 6-3, 198-pound McPhee lobm
ing in front of him.
When he elected to lave Cor
nell run the ball, it was usually
McPhee who crashed through to
make the tackle or mow down
the white-shirted Cornell block
ers.
By JIM PETERS
The 39'ers scored twice in the
first half. and held on to the lead
to trim Dorm 4, 13-0.
The first six-pointer , resulted
from a Donald Paley to Ronald
Faust to William Englert pass
that covered 24 yards.
Later, Faust pitched ou t to
Paley and his pass to Chet Mut
kowski, bounced off the latter's
shoulder into the waiting hands
of teammate, William Kinzie. The
point after the touchdown went
from Paley to Faust to Englert.
ATO Reaches Semi-finals
Alpha Tau Omega drove 79
yards for a touchdown the first
time it got the ball to defeat
Kappa Delta Rho, 7-0, and be
come the, first fraternity team to
reach the semi-finals. •
The important score came on
a 38 yard pass from John McCall
to Louis Gomlich. McCall, the
star of the evening for ATO, then
threw to Paul Stephani for the
point after the touchdown.
Triangle Loses..
Beta Theta Pi roared into the
semi-finals with a one-sided .19-0
triumph ,over Triangle in th e
final game of last night's card. •
Don• Cook passed 21 yards to
Gordy Stroup for the first score
which came in the first half.
Cook, Stroup, Barney Parker,
Dusty Rhodes, and Dick• Camer
on combined for the second score
and Stroup passed to Al Helf
frich on a 52 yard punt return
for the final touchdown.

X-Coutry Team to Seek
Corneback Against NYU
• Shorn of much of its luster as a result of a 22-35 defeat by
Army last weekend, the Lion cross-country team will try to get
back on the winning trail again when it meets New York University
Saturday on the College course. -
After the Michigan State meet, in which the Lions looked to
impressive, NYU was not expected to be too big ,an obstacle for
Chick Werner's hill-and-dalers.
But with Army trimming Penn
State so decisively, the NYU duel
takes on a different appearancp.
Swamped' by. Cadets
The Violets have had a tough
time winning this season, losing
to Army and St. Johns while
beating Rutgers. -
The Cadets trimmed NYU 18-
45 to start the Violet season. Gor
don McKenzie finished third in
27:26 on 5" five mile .cour§e for
the Violet, but the powerful
Cadets kept the New Yorkers
from winning another place be
fore 15th.
Rutgers proved an easy win for
NYU, but the following, week it
was defeated by St. Johns ; 27-33.
Howie Jacobson finished third
for NYU in 26:56 on the five mile
Van Courtlandt course.
McKenzie ran fourth, Ted 'Foy
fifth, and Bill Chioppella won
the 10th spot fort the Violets.
Violets Due
Soccermen
To Battle
'Foreigners
Penn State's soccer team will
get a taste of foreign ,soccer Sat
urday when it meets a team com
posed of foreign campus students.
' The Lions previously had a
match scheduled with Syracuse,
but the New Yorkers dropped
the game as a varsity sport.
State's next contest is slated for
Nov. 10 against North Carolina
at home.
Thus ,far, students from Boli
via, Brazil, India, Iran, Turkey,
Uruguay, Indonesia, Indo-China,
and • Argentina are represented
on the foreign team.
In addition, Coach Bill Jeffrey
indicated he might join in the
game, but failed to say for which
club.
Penn State's team will 'open
with the same eleven men who
opened against Colgate and came
out on ',top, 3-1.
The foreign team, however,
will be, without the service of
Gus Bigott, former Lion star,
who is still in school. Bigott,
ineligible fo r varsity competi
tion, would have played for the
foreign team, but he has returned
to his home in Venezuela be
cause of family illness.

Yanks' Weiss
Signs Contract
YANKS' WEISS
NE W YORK, Oct. 30—(FP)---
George Weiss, the man behind
the scenes in the New York Yan
kees' great string of champion
ships, has signed a new long
term . contract as vice-president
and general manager of the world
champions.
Da n Topping, president and
co-owner of the club, in announc
ing the new pact today, said,
"Qeorge's contract still had an
other, year to run but we tore
it up' and gave him. a new one."
Topping did not disclose the
length nor the terms of the new
contract.
. But Weiss, who has been chief
ly responsible for .the tremendous
success of the Yankee farm sys
tem, undoubtedly received a fat
raise. It is believed that he re
ceived about $50,000 a year, in
the past few years coupled with
a' bonus arrangement. -
In his 19 years with the team,
the Yankees won 1.2 pennants
and 11 world series. Mast of the
players came up from the farm
system built up by the shrewd
Weiss.
.King Farouk, the present
Egyptian rul e r, came to thp
throne in 1937. .
