PAGE SIX Lions State Plays Texans for First Time When Texas Christian invades Beaver Field tomorrow it will not only be the first time since 1941 —wh- n CT D O. 5 Or, m zn New York—that the Horned Frogs will play an Eastern club for a football game, but it will mark the first meeting between, TCU and Penn State. The contest is the first of a two-game series. Next year, the Lions will' travel to Tex as on Oct. 23. Kickoff time for tomorrow's game is 2 p.m. Adding another first to the con test is Abe Martin, who is serv ing. his first year as TCU coach. He had been assistant to Dutcr Meyer, now athletic .director, for seven years. In anticipation of an aerial on slaught, Coach Rip Engle has been placing extra emphasis on pass defense during the past week. Passing aces will be seen on both sides. Co-captain Tony Rados will do the pitching for Engle's eleven and will be getting some support from his understudies Don Bailey, Bobby Hoffman and Norm Paul. For the visitors Co-captain Mal vin Fowler and Ray McKown, who began the season as contenders for the signal calling job, have been brought together at quarterback and halfback to give the Texans a one-two punch passing attack. As far as the tough competition Penn State can expect, Frank Pat rick, Nittany Lion scout, explains: "Remember this—and don't be fooled by that 1-3 log of the Tex ans. The Frogs have been im proving. The Michigan State game took a lot out of 'em. Maybe that's an answer to the defeat last week by the Aggies. Certainly, if you want a yardstick, Penn's terrific. game against us, won by the Quakers, reflected a week later in Penn's poor showing against California and then Penn's re bound against a capable Ohio State team this past week. 'Penn left its game for Cali fornia by the field the day we played 'em. I imagine the game thing can be said of Texas. The Frogs left their game on the field the day they played Michigan State. Now we can expect a real rebound," Patrick said. There is little doubt in most minds of the potential offense that can be displayed by TCU. Defensively, the Horned Frogs are above average. Patrick rates Co captain Morgan Williams as "one of the nation's better guards." The agile an d rugged 195- pounder. named as the top de fensive lineman in the Southwest Conference late in 1952, is still potent in the latter department as indicated by his great perform ance against Michigan State. Coach Martin describes Wil liams: "He's just a great football player. His blocking has been very good and I wouldn't trade him for any defensive player in the land. He can do everything." •In games so far, he's been used on defense in four different ways: as a regular linebacker, as a reg ular guard, ,as a "stand-in" line backer and as the "out-back" on an umbrella defense. He is also the team's defensive quarterback, CAT :';-CATHAUM:4 MIDNIIE SHOW TO IT C • DOORS OPEN 11:30 P.M.

Such present Panther varsity stalwarts as Bobby Epps, Eldred Kraemer, and Henry Ford helped mold the string together. What this season holds for the Panther plebes is a mystery to Coach Steve Petro, since the Panthers have, like the Lions, seen no action as yet. One way to get a true line on his squad is to give as many players as possible a chance to see action, is Petro's philosophy.

Braves to Keep Ed Mathews 'kf• Third Base MILWAUKEE, Oct. 22 (JP) Eddie Mathews will be the Mil waukee Braves' third baseman next year regardless of whether the club picks up a hard-hitting outfielder in the winter trade mar kets. Manager Charlie Grimm said today. "And what's more," added the National League manager of the year. "we aren't going to give up a regular pitcher to get an out fielder who can hit." • There had been some talk that Mathews, who made the second greatest number of errors in both leagues last season, might be shifted to the outfield. The young ster led both circuits with 47 home runs in his sophomore season, but was second only to Philadelphia's Granny Hamner with 30 errors in the field. Hamner was charged with 35 bobbles.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1953 Ex-Lion Harrier To, Oppose State As Navy Coach According to Hoyle one should never teach any,. tricks to anyone else because that person might someday use the same tricks on you. Such is the position of Chick Werner, Nittany cross-country, Coach, who will take a 12-man team to Annapolis today for a triangu lar meet with Navy and George town. During his days at Penn State,., Jim Gehrdes, now the Navy cross- ' country mentor, set many hurd ling marks that still stand. Now that the role of pupil and teacher is no longer in force he will be out to "teach the teacher." The ex-Lion star graduated from the College in 1950 and handles the job of assistant track coach at Annapolis when he is not busy with the hill-and-dale team. Georgetown Undefeated A stiff workout on Wednesday by the Lion harriers impressed Werner. He remarked, "Every one looked better than they have all year." The runners ran two miles and concentrated on speed and pace. There is a new cross-country course at the Naval "Academy. According to Werner it is not as hilly as the Nittany layout. Be.- cause of the comparative flatness, the runners will be able to Set a faster pace. Werner said. Hollen to Make Trip Georgetown has an undefeated team so far this season, and pos sesses one of the best teams in ye-ars. The Middies also have a strong squad, and the' winning team can be sure that_ it has de feated two top-notch outfits. Red Hollen, who injured his foot in the Cornell meet, is 'till not up to par, but will make the trip. Lamont Smith. Doug Moor head, Jim Hamill. John Chillrud, and Ted Garrett will also com pete. Don Austin may not be able to run because of a recent attack of the grip. Skip Slocum, Jim Mc- Kelvey, Ed Steel, Bruce Austin and Dan Sutter round out the squad.
