(Continued from page one)
Giants on the attack again,
as they were a year ago, are
TCU’s Ron Clinkscale and the
Lions’ All-America candidate
Lenny Moore. They promise
to provide the thrills today.
Moore, third among the na
tion’s rushing leaders this
week, has accumulated ,465
yards in four games and
shows no signs of letting up.
The flashy halfback collected 131
yards in his best day to date, last
week, and scored his fifth touch
down of the season. He has been
the key to Penn State’s split-T
attack.
Clinkscale at QB
Clinkscale, a sub quarterback
until he ran wild in the Frog’s
20-7 upset of Southern, Cal, sparks
a split-T offense run from the
regular T-formation. He and full
back Buddy Dike have been the
work horses in Martin’s back
field.
The six-foot, 180 pound quarter
back, moved into, the signal call
ing slot this season after two
years as a halfback. Last year he
scored once against the Lions and
passed for another while his team
lost, 27-21.
Pound-for-pound, TCU will hold
the edge today. Their line aver
ages 210 pounds, about five more
than the Lions’ and they hold the
same weight advantage in the
baekfield, 190 to 185.
Three members of Martin’s
baekfield—Dike, Ray Taylor, and
Jim Swink—are newcomers, but
all of his linemen are Teturnees
from last year’s club.
Lions Workout
The Lions arrived here by plane
yesterday and went through a
short workout at Amon Carter
Stadium before retiring to a near
by ranch for the night.
The Penn State party will again
board a plane immediately after
the game today and will arrive
in State College at 1 p.m. tomor
row.
Penn State won’t be without
musical support today. The fa
mous White Oak High School 80-
piece “Rough Neck” band will
represent the Nittany Lions at
the stadium.
The band provided the musical
impetus for the Lions in their
Cotton Bowl in 1948.
Sale of Athletics
Still Not Settled
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22 (AO-
After a week of closed-door meet
ings and public announcements
the question of the final sale of
the Philadelphia Athletics contin
ued unsettled today as a battery
of lawyers worked over the intri
cate business details.
This sale by the House of Mack,
which still needs American
League approval, is a multi-mil
lion-dollar proposition. The eight
Philadelphia businessmen put up
$250,000 each and, in addition,
they’ll take over the club’s $1.6
million mortgage on Connie Mack
Stadium plus other debts.

Dawson to Quit
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 22 (JP)—
Lowell (Red) Dawson, Pitt’s ail
ing football coach, stepped out for
the balance of the season 'today
and the university immediately
named Athletic Director Tom
Hamilton to fill the post.
Dawson, who entered the hos
pital ten days ago with an “heart
irregularity,” told Hamilton he
would be unable to continue his
duties this fall. Dawson left the
hospital today.
But an informed source said,
“Red is a sick man. He’s improved
but he’ll need an extended rest.
He looks tired and worn out.”
Hamilton will direct the team
tomorrow against Northwestern
at Pitt Stadium.
SATURDAY. OCTOBER 23, 1954
Olympians
Head List
Of Ex-Lions
Penn State cross-country
Coach Chick Werner today
will have a chance to do what
many coaches and sports :' ans
have always dreamed of do
ing—he will witness the stars
of the past against the stars
of the present.
A group of former Nittany
hill-and-dalers, including sev
eral Olympians, will run a
four-mile race against the
Penn State varsity. The race,
which will start at 1 p.m., will
be held on the golf course.
Olympians Curt Stone, Bill
Ashenfelter and Herm Goffberg,
and possibly Horace Ashenfelter,
head the list of all-time stars who
will be running for the alumni
in the second meeting of these
two outfits.
Foot Injury
If Horace Ashenfelter’s injured
foot is well enough he will be
taking part in the event for the
first time. He was unable to take
part last year due to previous
•olans.
Other former Nittany harriers
who will be running are Red Hol
len. Bob Roessler, Bob Freebairn,
Mitch Williams, John St. Clair,
and Bob Parsons.
Eight of the ten alumni were
either captains or co-captains of
Penn State cross-country or track
teams. The only on'es who did
not hold this position are Williams
and Goffberg. All ten harriers
competed for at least one cham
pionship cross-country team.
Olympic Victory
Horace Ashenfelter is the only
Olympic Gold Medal winner. His
upset win in the 3000-meter stee
plechase was the highlight of the
1952 Olympics. Ashenfelter set a
new two-mile indoor record ear
lier this year.
Last year the alumni harriers
were, defeated by the Penn State
varsity, 27-28. Bill Ashenfelter
