By going undefeated this year, Juniata owns the second longest winning streak—23 wins extend ing back to 1963—in the country. It rr topped only by Oklahoma's 29 in a' row. Because-, of Juniata’s outstand ing record the last three years, it was offered and accepted a bid to the Tangerine Bowl an Jan. 2 after the close of the' ’55 season. The only factor which could possibly cause Hicks to be any happier tham he is now would he a wm over Missouri Valley in the bowl game. Although Hicks refers all praise to his players when congratulated 1 on bis superb record, more than likely the key to the team's per petual winning streak is Hicks himself. . As a high school and college star he was rated a top-notch end. Probably the highest praise he ever received was from former Penn State coach Bob Higgins who rated him "one of the best I have ever coached here at State” Equally good an offense and de fense, the brilliant pass receiver hit his peak in the ’4B bowl game, when he was on the receiving end of a half dozen passes thrown by Elwood 1 Petchel. His sensational pass catching gained hint notice throughout the country. ■ Hicks was named eo-eaptain along with N. W. Norton the fol lowing year, when the team ended with a 5-4 record. He played three years under Higgins and one year under Joe Bedenk. (The freshman rale was waived allowing one more year of college eligibility in 1949). He en countered stiff competition from. All-American Sam Thmburo and Johnny Potskalaus, hut played the kind of football which ordinarily changes a coaches' mind when he is thinking of benching a pTayeir. • At Juniata Hicks is also head baseball coach and junior varsity coach in basketball, in. addition to teaching physical education.
