To Alert TCU, 20-7
HALFBACK Billy Kane is about to be tackled

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

Colgate for 4th, 6-0
Penn State’s undefeated soccer team ran its victory
string to four straight Saturday afternoon when, it scored
its first shutout victory of the season, snapping Colgate’s
three-game win streak, 6-0.
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.
Winless Holy Cross fashioned a
mild upset when they nipped Bos
ton University, 14-13. The hither
to undefeated Terriers entered the
game leading in the race for the
Lambert Trophy. Sophomore Dale
Hohl’s two extra-point boots pro
vided the winning margin.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh,. behind
the smart quarterbacking of soph
omore Corny Salvaterra, knocked
off a respected Northwest er n
eleven, 14-7. A one-yard plunge
by Salvaterra with 39 seconds re
maining in the.game was the win
ning marker. The Panther’s first
touchdown scored by Henry Ford
