PAGE SIX Lion Gridders Bow To Alert TCU, 20-7 HALFBACK Billy Kane is about to be tackled here after gaining eight yards on the "dive" play in the third quarter against Texas Chris (Continued, from page one) The Lions held the ball for six minutes in tne opening quarter, driving 50 yards to the TCU 30 before stalling. Moore was running well, and Bailey clicked on two consecutive passes to Jim Garrity, who incidentally, led Lion receivers with four receptions for 48 yards. Scattered Penn State fans got set for . a happy afternoon. But the Penn State attack stalled when two Bailey passes missed by inches and the Frogs took over. They moved the ball into Penn State territory but fell short of needed yardage on the 47 and were forced to punt. Moore racked up 19 yards from the 14 to the 33 on the first play from scrimmage, but fumbled the ball after a dancing 12-yard carry on the next play. The Frogs’ Buddy Dike—a very fine fullback Saturday—recovered on the 46. Eight plays later quarterback Ron Clinkscale scored from the two after Dike and halfback Ray Taylor had set up the score with off tackle slants into the State line. Harold Pollard added the extra point, and TCU led, 7-0. It took the Frogs just one minute and 12 seconds to get their second touchdown. And it was a stunning blow to the Lions. After Moore carried the kickoff to the 28, Kane reeled off eight yards to the 36. On the next play Bailey was called for intentionally grounding on'the 14 and a five yard penalty was slapped on the Lions. Moore lost four on a pitch out and State was back on its own five in a punting situation. Jim Hoehberg came in to do the hooting from the endzone. The pass from center was had and Hochberg scooped it up and tried to get the kick away. But tackle Ray Hill was on him and blocked the punt. Don Cooper covered the loose pigskin in the endzone for the touchdown. Pol lard missed the PAT, but TCU held a big 13-0 bulge. Before the half ended the Lions again drove deep into Frog ter ritory, this time advancing to the 23 before being halted. Then midway through the third period the Lions “second” team got up a head of steam and marched 78 yards from the 18 to the TCU four where it ran out of gas. Buddy Rowell and Kane tore up big chunks on the ground and Hoffman connected with Jack Sherry twice in the series that registered six first downs. It was Penn State’s finest offensive drive of the afternoon but it failed. The Lions got as close as the four and had two chances to make it. Had they scored here it could have been a different ball game in the end. But Bobby Allen, re placing Ron Younker who injured his shoulder on the preceding play, lost six on tliird down, and Hoffman misfired for the fh'st | Tite Yardstick | Scoring: Touchdowns —Moore, Clinkscalo, Cooper, Crouch.

Bailey hit Garrity with a pass that carried from the 22 to the 38. He missed on the next try and his third attempt sailed right to Frog center Hugh Pitts who returned to the 25. Now the Frogs added insult to injury. TCU hadn’t completed a pass up to this point but Chuck Curtis pitched for two in a row and the second hit end Johnny Crouch for the touchdown. Pol lard made his placement good, raising the total to 20-0. With only three minutes re maining, Frank Della Penna took the ensuing kickoff on the Lion 21 and returned 14 to the 35.

The Lions rallied in the final period by scoring three goals to pad their lead after the New Yorkers’ defensive strength fizzled under the pressure of Penn State’s crushing of fensive game. Captain Jack Pinezich led the scoring with three goals, with Dick Packer, center forward, backing him up with two tallies. Dick Matacia also scored. Colgate’s pressing attack was sporadic, with Penn State capi talizing on breaks in the opponents’ defense. In the first period Pinezich scored twice to give the Lions a 2-0 lead. Pinezich’s first score came at 4:24 when Joe Mijares passed to Packer. The classy junior purposely let the ball slip through his legs only to be picked up by Pinezich who rifled it past goalie Tom Glenn who was caught flat-footed. After Colgate’s Lou Ehrhard missed a penalty kick,.Penn State’s front line continued to penetrate the New Yorker’s defense in an attempt to score. The Lions’ opened their second scoring drive on a midfield pass p ] ay initiated by Matacia. Matacia picked up a pass on the fifty and shot it to Pinezich cutting down the left sideline. At 16:22 Pinezich moved to .within 15 yards of Colgate’s net to cut loose with a high shot that Colgate’s 6-2 goalie couldn’t stop. Colgate—in the wanning seconds of the first period—was being beaten to the ball as the Lions again threatened, to score. Colgate made 11 saves in the first stanza compared to three by Lion goalie George Geczy. ' .. .. Lion Defense Shines , In the second period—when neither team scored —Penn State’s defensive play put on one of its most dazzling displays of the sea son. Fullbacks Galen Robbins and Paul Dierks continually hand cuffed Colgate’s scoring drives with sharp boots and' timely head shots. The Lions added another tally in the third period ,by Packer on a pass from senior Chuck Snyder. Snyder put the ball in play on an out-of-bounds kick in the corner, and goalie Glenn of Colgate moved out of the net in an attempt to snag the kick. Packer, how ever, picked up Snyder’s kick and nailed the ball into the net for the Lions’ third goal, t After a \ stunning display of defensive prowess in the. third quarter, the Lions came back with an equally impressive demonstra tion of scoring power in the final period. , The first score came at 0:57 when Packer and Pinezich rushed the .Raiders’ goal on a two-on-one play. Each jockeyed for position while playing the ball downfield with Packer finally sending a pass to Pinezich who scored from five yards. Joe Mijares passed for his second scoring assist four minutes later on a pass to Packer who scored the Lions’ fifth goal on a head shot from three yards. In the final minutes, Matacia scored from three yards on another scoring pass by Joe Mijares, outside left. Mijares did not score, but figured in three of the Lions’ four assisted goals. 2 Grid Foes Score Wins As the college football grind passes the half-way point it ap pears that several Eastern teams have done an about face and have begun to “come on.” Two such teams are Pittsburgh and Holy Cross, who last Saturday gave ample warning to Penn State’s Lions, whom they will meet in the near future.
