PAGE SIX Lucas Nominated Player of the Week Richi« Lucas nearly received the unanimous vote of the five Penn State sportsmen for the “Player of the Week” selection, but un predictable Ridge Riley called sophomoie Sam Sobczak the man of; the day. Only one player—Pat Botula for his performance against Ne braska—was a unanimous choice in the five weeks of voting in The Daily Collegian poll. Lucas won lho votes of Collegian sports editor Lou Prato, associate sports editor Malt Mathews, Centre Daily Times sports editor Ron Field and WMAJ sporiscasier Mickey Bergslein. Field and Mathews cast an electronic vote—they watched the game on television due to conflicting newspaper committments.

And he was also the leading ground gainer (with 74 yards in 15 carries).” In the voting for Lucas, Prato commented, "There isn'l any question in my mind that Lucas deserves the (Player-of-lhe-Week) honor. He played one of the best games in his career. His play catling and team leadership were tremendous. And his running was outstanding. “I’d have to rate Sam Sobczak next in line,” said Prato. “Sam did a great job, not only in running but also in blocking and de fensive work. He’s going to give Botula and Moconyi a fight for that first team fullback spot against Syracuse.” While praising Lucas’ work Saturday, Field then turned his words toward the team effort: “Lucas played an outstanding game at quarterback but I was more pleased with the team effort. They looked real good. They started jelling as a team.
