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.

Soccermen Meet
Colgate Saturday
The Red Raiders of • Colgate, the only soccer team that Penn
State failed to score three or more points on last fall,, will meet, the
Lions here Saturday in an attempt to snap a three-game win streak
owned by the Lions.
Last year Penn State stormed into Hamilton, N.Y.,-with a 2-0
chart and hopes of crushing Col
gate—which had not won a game
in three tries. But the Raiders
put on a dazzling display for the
undefeated Lions to force the
contest into overtime periods.
Penn State finally managed to
take the lead and eventually won
the contest 1-0 on a 15-yard boot
by Mert Springer, then a substi
tute lineman
After the Penn State loss Col
gate failed to win a game with
losses to Cornell. Syracuse, and
Union (N.Y.).
But Coach Mark Randall was
fielding a team which had only
four lettermen backed by a crop
of 17 inexperienced sophomores.
Although this team lost four
games and tied three, only Cor
nell scored more than three goals
against it. Two Colgate losses
were by two points, and another
by only one. i
Colgate, however, will not only
have to have an improved of
fensive game Saturday in order
to drop the -Lions, but also a
sharp defense.
The scoring punch of Coach
Ken Hosterman’s front line has
been cracking the opponent’s de
fense with a machine-gun type of
attack.
Penn State has knocked out
wins over Bucknell,- 14-1, Mary
land, 5-1, and Syracuse, 9-2, In
these three wins, Hosterman’s
front line has done all the scor
ing to rack up a phenomenal
total of '2B goals ... an average
of better than nine goals a gam’e.
The 28 goals stacked up against
the opposition this season in the
first three games exceeds the
total of 26 which P.enn State
earned in seven games last fall.
In the first three games last fall
against Bucknell, Maryland, and
Army the Lions scored 14 goals
to seven by the opposition.
