But Darrell Royal's Texas
Longhorns, fresh from their 19-
12 whipping of Oklahoma, are
set to test their high-velocity
offense against an Arkansas de
fense that has given only two
touchdowns in matching Texas'
4-0 record.
However, Arkansas also mush
face a Texas defense that wasi
unscored upon until Oklahoma'
tallied twice in the first period
last week. Arkansas is laying and
eight-game winning string on the,
line.
Southern Cal, ranked No. 7 in
the current Associated Press sur

in good shape for Washington,

be in trouble if newly found

over a stiff right shoulder and
halfback Ron Burton can't shake
a weak ankle.
Unbeaten, but once-tied Pur
due (No. 6) plays Ohio State, a
shutout victim in its last two
gvmes. The Boilermakers (2-0-1)
don't figure to let up with their
staunch defense that has given
only one touchdown. lowa and

Third Straight Win
By DICK GOLDBERG
The Penn State cross country team will be ready in all
respects when they seek their third win against the undefeated
Navy harriers this afternoon on the golf course at Annapolis.
Lion coach Chick Werner; after watching Thursday's
practice, thought that the harriers were ready to spoil the
* * *
Middies bid for an undefeated
season.
"All the boys looked very good
this week and they all are im
proved over last week's meet with
Pitt," the Lion mentor added.
Werner singled out the per
formances of three men—Herm
Weber, Denny Johnson and Mike
Miller. He said that Weber had
showed a great deal of poten
tial as a freshman but was over
shadowed by the "Big Three"
of the Lions—Ed Moran, Fred
Kerr and Dick Engelbrink.
"Now Weber has a chance to!
show what he can do and he is!
performing well," he added.
I The Lion coach pointed out.
1 Johnson as the most improved
runner on the team. Johnson im
proved his times more than any-1
one else on the team, reducing
his mark by over 30 seconds. Wer
i ner also said that .he has been
making far less tactical blunders
this week than he did in preced
ing meets.
Miller, before the practice
session this week, was suffer
ing from lack of confidence.
"Now, he has gained a great
deal of assurance and he ought
to be up there on top," Werner
commented.
Besides these three, Penn State
will enter five other harriers.
Dick Engelbrink is number one
iman on the Lion club. He has
taken two first places in the meets
run so far this year. He has won
both of these by 100 yards over
;his nearest opponent.
• Rounding out . the Nittany
lineup are Chick King. Steve
Moorhead, Jack Williams and
