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.
Although Riley was the only selector to pick Sobczak as the top
man, his companions all praised the sophomore fullback for his
outstanding offensive tole.
“He had a pretty tough assignment of handling the starting full
back assignment,” commented Riley, “He proved to be the spark
that got us away on the two opening TD drives that started the
scoring barrage. 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. In the Marquette
