TUESDAY. OCTOBER 26. T? 54 From This Angle... “It was the most frustrating game I ever coached.” That’s all Rip Engle said Saturday after his team lost that 20-7 crusher to Texas Christian. But it actually told a big tale. The Lion coach saw his team move seemingly at will between the two twenty yard lines, 'only to fail when the crucial play arose. And he saw this same team fumble the ball five times, bringing the season total to 20—just nine short of the number of completed passes shown on the Lions’ five-game statistic sheet. Only two of the bobbles were lost, but both hurt immensely. One set up the first TGU touch down, and the . second froze a possible Penn State touchdown on the Frogs’ six yard line. * • *' • * . Ron Younker's 47-yard jaunt in the fourth quarter, called back because the Lions were ruled off sides, shutout another possible scoring drive. Head linesman Harold Wilkins, later revealed that he called the penalty because Frank Reich had his head past the ball. That's a. mere technicality in the rules and I'll bet it's been a long lime since officials called that penalty. Lenny Moore’s pass reception for Penn State’s only touchdown was a real thriller. Moore went up for the ball thrown by Bobby Hoffman but it was dipped away by Chuck Curtis. The flash snag ged it, though, as both he and Curtis fell to the .ground. It was his "sixth TD in five games. * - • Speaking of passes, Don Bai ley had some tough luck in the first quarter when two perfect tosses were broken up by TCU defensers. The first was a per fect strike to Jim Garrity in the endzone. The ball was just inches from the speedy end's arms when Ray Taylor tipped the ball away. On the following play Bailey hit Moore' on the left sidelines. But Jim Swink grabbed an arm just as the. Lion halfback touched the ball and it fell free as an. incomplete pass. At least three former Pehn State athletes attended the game. Wrestler Joe Lemyre, Ed Haag, a basketball player last year, and gridder Pete Schoderbek were on hand. All three are stationed at the Air Force Base near. Fort Worth. Haag and Schoderbek were graduated last June and Le myre received his degree in 1953. pasketball Candidates Candidates for varsity and freshman basketball should report to Recreation Hall Monday.

IH STATE COLLEGE By dick mcdowell Collegian Sports Editor Lions and Pitt Frosh Tie, 6-6 A late first half rush and a des perate fourth period goal line stand earned Penn State’s fresh man football team a 6-6 tie with the Pittsburgh frosh Saturday at Pittsburgh. Halfback Bob Rice intercepted a pass at midfield for the Lions to start the frosh on their touch down drive. Bob Scrabis, who did most of the Lions’ passing, floated a 25-yard aerial to Les Walters with time running out in the half. On the next play a Scrabis-Wal ters pass resulted in a score. Emil Caprara, who kicked the winning point in the Lions’ 7-6 win over Navy two weeks ago, missed the extra point try. Pitt scored its lone touchdown in the third period with Jim Abrachinsky scampering the final 35-yards. The extra point at tempt was blocked.
