Purdue's Big Guns. Today
QUARTERBACK DALE SAMUELS, Purdue's passing ace, is surrounded by four others of Purdue's
expected top performers on Beaver Field today. Upper left, Max Schmaling, the Boilermaker's hard
driving fullback. Upper right. Phil Klezek, a speedy left half. Lower left, Bernie Flowers, the ace re
ceiver of Purdue's passing attack. Lower right, Dave Whiteaker, hard charging offensive tackle.
(Continued from page one)
The other important change
in the Nittany lineup today is
end Don Malinak, a defensi7e
standout last week, who has
moved up to the first team of
fensive position ahead of Joe
Yukica. Ano th e r possible
change in the Lion lineup
could be Keith Veslinz at the
wingback post.
On defense the Lions will also
have a few changes. Guard Sam
Green will start at one of the
backerup spots along with Joe
Gratson and Don Balthaser. While
at the defensive half position op
posite Don Bailey. Don Eyer or
Leonard will get first call.
State's only two players listed
among the injuries, Buddy Rowell
and Tony Frey, leave the Lions
thin at lefthalf. Rowell has been
having one ankle injured after
another and is not likely to play.
However, Coach Rip Engle ex
pressed the hope that Frey would
be available today.
From the Purdue side of the
f ield— and undoubtedly Penn
State's—Quarterback Dale Sam
uels will hold the cynosure of ap
proximately 20,000 plus fans. Sam
uels has a tremendous touchdown
record with 17 paydirt heaves
during the last two years.
End Bernie Flowers is the guy
Samuels will probably look for
most often. An Erie, Pa., grid
der, Flowers has caught 39 passes
for 412 yards during his last two
seasons.
A brilliant cast surrounds Sam
uels in the backfield. It is the
same Purdue backfield which was
tops in averac yards-per-try last
year in the Big Ten.

'eut on a Limb
Perm State's pigskin coaches Head Coach Rip Engle, Tor Tor
retti, Jim O'Hora, Al Michaels, and Earl Br uc e, who took a
toasting on the grid predictions lait week, have declared they'll
come back fighting this week.
Finishing in a second-place tie with Sports Editor Jake High
ton with a . .733 percentage, the coaches are determined to take
over the top spot, currently held by Bob Schoellkopf, Daily Col
legian sportswriter, who finished first in last week's' forecasts
with an .867 percentage. Ted Soens, assistant sports editor of the
Daily Collegian, finished fourth with a .667 perCentage.
In the 15 contests under consideration this week, there are
differences of opinion in seven games.
In the all-important Penn-Notre Dame tilt, Highton is the
lone chooser of the Red and "Blue. Schoellkopf is alone in 'his
choice of USLA over TCU.

Quarterback Dale Samuels . . .
Ace Pass Thrower
Pint sized Dale Samuels, Purdue's cool headed quarterback, is
a boy that opposing teams must keep a six point lead on.
The 5-9, 165 pound strategist is rated as one of the five best
passing backs in college . football. This he proved when he played
the initial role in Purdue's upset victory over Notre Dame in 1950,
ending its 39 game winning
streak.
His pin-point passing has net
ted him a mark of one TD for
every nine passes. Opposing quar
terbacks are wary of his accur
acy as his record of 155 comple
tions in 331 attempts speaks for
itself.
In addition to his aerial abili
ties, Samuels is a threat on the
ground and a deadly place kick
er. Last year Samuels ripped off
146 yards rushing. Added to his
2023 yards in the air, you get a
total of 2169 yards, or almost 22
times the length of a football field.
This yardage added up to exactly
154 Boilermaker points, or an av
erage of 7.1 points per 100 net
yards. In short, every time Sam
uels works the ball for 100 yards,
Purdue has a touchdown and an
extra point.
In his sophomore and junior
years he chalked up 34 conver
sions in 44 attempts. During the
same period, he scored 52 points,
18 of these on touchdowns.
Samuel's passing was a terrific
blow to both lowa in 1950 and to
Northwestern in 1951. North
western felt the fury of his aerial
accuracy when he completed 7 of
11 attempts. He threw for three
six-pointers against lowa in 1951,

and at the expense of the Irish of
Notre Dame added 310 yards to
his impressive record.
Stu Holcomb, Purdue head
coach, bases his offense on the
basketball principle of "get
enough shots at the basket and
you'll get enough baskets." With
Samuels doing the "shooting" the
system is more than effective.
