TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1959 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. ... the right % In the winning fashion of. sport championship style. features the buttondown in Built-in comfort, enduring i Interesting patterns in long $5.00 up. -ARROW* By JOHNNY BLACK, Assistant Sports Editor Game Statistics INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS * Colgate Hashing Time* Net Carries Tarda Dailey $ 23 Simunovich .. 1 H Scull 4 12 Jaeger 5 11 Penn State Hashing Times Net Player Carried Tarda Urban • 4 7ft Lucas 9 M * Hoak 5 sft Kerr ......... .. 9 31 Botula « 2ft Sobcxak % 21 Pae 9 21 Flnkleaten 2 2ft Colgate Pausing Player* Att.
