PAGE SIX TCU Record Shows Danger lor Lions Flashy Texas Christian University, a football team that hit bottom in the Southwest Conference last year and bounced right back into contention for the championship this sea son, moves into Penn State focus this Saturday at Amon Carter Stadium at Fort Worth, Texas. And, Lion coach Rip Engle isn’t expecting a moment’s rest for this one. The Horned Frogs, under coach Abe Martin, have beaten three fine teams this season —Kansas, Southern California, and Texas A&M, while they lost squeakers to top-ranked Oklahoma and conference favor ite Arkansas. All of which indicates that the Frogs are a much better team than last year when they won only three games but gave Penh State a whale of a fight at Bea ver Field before finally succumb ing, 27-21. The Texans easily ' whipped Kansas in'their opener, 27-6, bat tled Oklahoma to the hilt before losing it 21-16, and then lost an other close one to Arkansas, 20-13. They bounced back to beat ninth-ranked Southern Cal 20-7 at Los Angeles and last week edged the Aggies 21-20. Clinkscale at Quarterback Led by quarterback Ronnie Clinkscale and fullback Buddy Dike, the Frogs operate from the T-formation behind a 210-pound line that has speed to go along with its we’ght. ' Lion coach Frank Patrick, who drew-the TCU scouting assign ment said that the Frogs rank with one of the year’s top teams. He said Abe Martin’s team has improved from week to week, and is now achieving the poise and maturity it lacked a year ago. Patrick named Clinkscale and Dike as backs capable of “going the whole way” and Charlie Cur tis, a second-runner to Clinkscale at quarterback now, a “better than average passer.” Leading Runner Dike, a sophomore, is the team’s leading ground gainer with 330 yards in 84 carries. It's Clink scale, however, who poses the big gest threat. The senior quarter back scored twice—once from 60 yards out—against Southern Cal and, last week sprinted 79 yards for another score against Texas A&M. Twenty-five lettermen give Martin, who took over the coach 7 ing job last season, plenty of depth in every position, particu larly in the line where he has seven veteran performers, all of them 200 pounds or better. Captain Johnny Crouch at left end is the “little” guy at 200 pounds. Byron Engram, the right end, weighs 205. At the tackles there’s 205-pound Ray Hill and Dick laswell, 230. Bill Yung, 210, and Vernon Uecker, 215, hold down the guard slots. Hugh Pitts, 205, is the center. The Frogs, primarily a passing team in the past, have traveled mostly on the. ground this year but still loom as a real threat through the air. In five games Clinkscale and Curtis have thrown most of 55 passes, completing 22. The Lions, stunned by West Virginia last week, will be seek ing their fourth win of the sea son. This will be only the second game played between the two teams.
