Colgate Coach Issues Dire Warning
On Lions' Pass Catching and Defense
You won t be able to win the close ones like that." These words of Colgate coach Alva
Kelly, referring specifically to the dropped passes and also to the laxed pass defense of
the Nittany Lions, predicated a dire warning for the Englemen. These facets of their game,
he indicated, must be sharpened if they have aspirations of winning the Lambert Trophy
and/or going to a post-season
bowl.
The Nittany gridders followed
the urging of their boosters at
Friday night's pep rally when
they literally “brushed the field
with Colgate," running up the
highest score, of any Engle
coached team at Penn State. But
the two items to which Kelly re
ferred stood out as a sore spot in
an otherwise banner day for bear
ers of the Blue and White.
Kelly reiterated that except for
the muffed aerials the well-oiled
Lion offensive juggernaut was
strong and deep. He praised the
play of both the second and third
units as well as the first-string.
“They’ve got three good units to
throw against you," he comment
ed.
"Nobody was kidding any
body when we cams down
here." said Kelly, "we knew
we were in for a rough game."
When questioned as to what
specific phase of the Penn State
atteck hurt his team most, he
glibly replied, "It looked like
running and passing to me."
Kelly had one thing to boast
about, and he, smiled broadly
when he spoke of Colgate's pass
ing performance. “I was very
pleased with my boys on that
score,” he said.
■ The Red Raiders, with Bob
Paske doing most of the flinging,
soared to a total of 284 yards via
Beaver Field airlanes. The Penn
State air yardage, decimated by
the attack of dropsy, was 86
yards, considerably below that of
the games against Missouri and
VMI.
Though his passing percen
tage suffered for above men
tioned reasons, Kelly was still
impressed with Lion quarter
back Richie Lucas.
In fact his initial spontaneous
comment about Penn State’s All-
America candidate was, “He is
the best I’ve ever played against.”
After a moment’s reflection on
his years of coaching, like any
wise coach guarding his words,
he decided to qualify the state
ment by changing the superla
tive adjective to one of the com
parative degree.
Galen Hall, the Lions' num
ber two QB. continued to run
the Tollout for sizable chunks
of a yardage before he pulled a
muscle just before Halftime.
He also fired two perfect strikes
in two attempts. One was
dropped by John Bozick, the
other was held by Jack Urban
for a touchdown.

Out Indefinitely
NEW YORK (fP> Two lead
ing All America candidates, Dick
Thornton of Northwestern and
Bob Anderson of Army, are
among the several college back
field stars felled some for the
season by a freak succession
of injuries over the weekend.
Thornton, quarterback and spear
head of the fine Wildcat team
which already has beaten Okla
homa and lowa, cracked an ankle
in running back a kickoff on the
first play of the lowa game. He
is out at least six weeks.
Andersen, leading ground gain
er of Army’s high-rated machine,
suffered a right knee injury in the
game against Illinois. Doctors
hope he won’t be lost for more
than two weeks but there is dan
ger he will be out for the year.
Purdue lost its veteran quarter
back, Ross Fichtner, who engi
neered the first two touchdowns
in the 28-7 defeat of Notre Dame.
