PAGE SIX Gilmore Nips Kerr As Player of Week It was such a tossup for the player of the week selection that two members of the Penn Stale press family picked both of the top two candidates—halfbacks Bruce Gilmore and Jimmy Kerr. But Gilmore also received the top votes of alumni secretary Ridge Riley and Collegian Associate sports editor Matt Mathews to sway the vote. The fifth sportsman, Centre Daily Times sports editor Ron Field, chose Kerr as the player of the day. For Gilrnoie the Marquette game appeared to be the turning point in a potentially bright career. After a highly successful sopho more season, Gilmore ruined his knee and had to have an operation last yeai. In voting for Gilmore, Riley pinpointed the outlook, “We’ve been waiting for Biuce to return | to form and recover from the knee 1 injtuy that handicapped him last year. He's apparently developed the confidence and has now shown that he i.s ready to go. Ills pei formance, in yardage, ex ceeded anything he’d done before and his showing Saturday ought to give him the confidence he needs " In the MaiqueUe game, Gil moie picked up 142 yards for the individual high of the season. Combined with a previous total of 72, it gave him the team rush ing leadership of 214 over dis abled Pat Botula with 195. Gilmore also scored two TD's—one on a 10-yard counter off the left side of the line and a short dive in the final period after bursts of 24 and 32 yards. “In my mind, five players had their best games of the year,” commented Mathews, “And that makes it tougher to pick the top player than at Army. I liked the play of Gilmore, Kerr, Dick Uoak, Richie Lucas and Maury Schleicher. "Schleicher intercepted a pass, had another pass catch nulli fied, recovered a fumble and played an excellent game on de fense. On the other hand, Kerr and Hoak showed the home crowd why they're so highly regarded as breakaway threats and Lucas showed that he's the quarterback who knows what to do with the ball when his receivers fail to get into the open. But I'll go along with the running of Gilmore as the lop performer of the day.” Sports editor Lou Prato and WMAJ sport'caster Mickey Berg stein picked both Kerr and Gilmore. They praised Gilmore for his fine tunning game, and although he outgained Kerr 142-23, both rated Kerr's defensive work in recovering a fumble, intercepting two passes and punt runbacks as the balancing factor to Gilmore’s offensive charges. Kerr’s defensive play swung Field’s vote over Gilmore. “He had two interceptions, a fumble recovery and some good tackling. He caught the Marquette tackle from behind after our fumble and that was piobably the most outstanding tackle. Bruce gained more yaidage, but I’ll take Kerr on his balance.’’ , Army Confirmed as Best in Nation NEW YORK (IP) About the surest way to move to the top of the weekly Associated Press national football rank in,i» is for an unbeaten team to knock off a hitherto unbeaten Notre Dame team, and that’s just what Army did. The Cadets, on the strength of their 14-2 victory Saturday, were voted into the No. 1 spot today by the spoits writers and sports-j capers participating in the poll. | Auburn, still unbeaten, slipped to second place. The Cadets re ceived 77 first-place votes and a; point total of 1,611, to 54 first-) place votes and 1,434 points for 1 Auburn. Three teams dropped out of lhe top 10 entirely. Notre Dame.

The nu cleus of his starting team is made up of sophomores. "We should give Penn State a good battle next year," Cataldi said. Lion coach Kenny Hosterman agreed with Cataldi: .“That, is a much improved Syracuse team. When those sophomores get some experience they will do al right.” Hosterman had mixed emotions , about his team’s performance on Saturday: “The boys did a good Lgt' job, but it could have been better.

The lean quarterback said it wasn't that his backs weren’t capable of moving against ihe Lions, but that they never got the lime to break away with the linemen on them as soon as he handed off the ball. "When you can afford to put guys like (John) Sava and (Wil lard) Smith on your alternate teams," Hall commented, “you have some terrific first team players—-and you did Saturday.” “I played with Sava at Far rell,” Hall said, “and he was the best blocker on the team. I al ways liked to run behind him. Of course I un- wßr 'Wg derstand he’s f been hurt most ' 1 of the season.” 1 S I “Then this char- ‘ , la jacter Smith, he? used to give me \ trouble when he Ik. 1 played for New Sx HEM ; Castle.
