Lions Are 7-Point Underdogs
Gridders
Capacity
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 23—Penn State, a winner of the
midwest, east, and the south, tries its hand at the southwest today
when it battles Texas Christian’s Purple Horned Frogs at Amon
G. Carter Stadium here on the TCU campus.
The Lions invade this section for the first time since 1948, when
l-coach Bob Higgins took his .team
to the Cotton- Bowl at Dallas.
Spurred by the late rise of the
Frogs, a near capacity crowd is
expected at the 36,000-seat sta
dium to see these two teams meet
for the second time in history.
The Frogs were a Lion victim
last season at Beaver Field.
Big Powers
Plan Talks
On Controls
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct.
22 (/P) —In their first unanimous
action on disarmament since
1946, the big Western Powers,
Canada and the Soviet Union to
day agreed on a' plan for new
secret talks on disarmament and
prohibition of atomic and hydro
gen bombs.
It appeared certain that the 60-
nation Political Committee of the
UN Assembly will approve the
resolution laid before it by the
delegations of the United States,
Britain, France, Canada and the
Soviet Union, and the talks will
begin soon among these powers.
agrees, however, that
these negotiations face a long and
hard road, with no guarantee of
eventual agreement between East
and West on these tremendous
problems.
David M. Johnson, Canadian
delegate, voiced this feeling in a
speech announcing the agreement
and warning against “hasty or ir
responsible optimism;”
He said the gap between East
and West, especially on a method
of control of any disarmament
system, remains very wide and
deep. But he said it is important
that the five powers have agreed
to c6-sponsor the resolution and
hailed this as an “acceptable next
step” in the negotiations on dis
armament.
James J. Wadsworth, United
States delegate,, said the United
States welcomes the agreement
on-sponsoring the resolution and
pledged the continued efforts of
his government .to work for
achieving disarmament.
. Wadsworth said the’ delibera
tions of the sub-committee will
“test the extent of Russia’s good
faith’ on this problem.

Game time is 3 p.m. EST.
Coach Rip Engle’s Lions, rank
ed in the nation’s top ten teams
until they lost to West Virginia
last Saturday, will be looking for
their fourth win of the season.
And from all indications, it won’t
be an easy job. Coach Abe Martini
owns a quartet of talented backs
and they will be running behind
a 210-pound line that has been a
rock of granite in three TCU
victories.
Physically the Lions are at their
lowest ebb since the season be
gan, with fullbacks Bill Straub
and Chuck Blockson, and center
Don Balthasef on the injured list.
Mentally, however, Engle’s team
couldn’t be sharper. They’re an
xious to jump back on the win
ning side after last week’s loss to
West Virginia.
