White Says Missouri Is
Stronger Than Last Year
By SANDY PADWE
(This is the first in a series of scouting reports on the Mis
souri football team. Tomorrow the line.)
Ask Penn State end coach J. T. White what kind of team
Missouri has this year and he'll len you very bluntly, "they've
got one helluva ball club."
Gangling J. T. knows because he scouted the Tigers in
their first two outings against S.M.U. and Oklahoma State.
And after two straight wins
White has nothing but respect for
Dan Devine's Big Eight contend
ers who will be at Beaver Stadium
Saturday,
He says things have changed
quite a bit since the Lions up
ended Missouri, 19-8 In the
1959 opener.
"They're a lot better than last
year," White said yesterday. "You
can bet that our ends and corner
men are going to have a busy
time."
White explained that' Missouri
has a host of speedy backs and he
says Devine doesn't waste their
talents.
"They'll try to run our ends a
lot. with Mel West and Norris
Stevenson." he said. "We'll also
have to guard against the running
pass because West and Donnie
Smith are naturals for it."
Smith, a southpaw halfback.
was responsible for Missouri's
only score against Penn State
last year when he connected on
a running pass to end Russ
Sloane in the last quarter.
"Missouri is basically a straight.-1
t club with a balanced line andl
plenty of flankers." White said.
"When you Fee them, they'll look!
n lot like- us."
The Tigers have a strong
running attack and gained 392
yards on the ground against
Oklahoma State Saturday. The
week before they ground out
209 yards against S.M.U._
Besides having power to spare,
White says the Missouri backs.
"will be the fastest we'll see all,
year. They seem to have plenty,
of backfield depth too," he added.

Mounties
By JIM KARL
When Penn State's freshman
football team opens its season
Saturday morning against West
Virginia, it may be facing the
best Mountie backfield corps
since the "golden era" of 1952. •
At least that's the opinion of
Mountie head coach Gene Corum.
Corum rates Fred (Colt) Colvard
of Logan, Glenn Holton of Ba
boursville and Dale Harkins of
Charleston as the top threesome
he's seen since the days when
Freddy Wyant and company
roamed the hills around Morgan
town.
Colvard comes to West Vir
ginia with a real thick scrapbook.
He was the winner of the Ken
nedy award, annually- given to
the outstanding high school foot
ball player in the state.
Recently against an all-star
team from Kentucky, he scored
two touchdowns, passed for an
other and booted four extra
points in a 27-14 victory. A half
back in high school, Colvard has
been working at quarterback this
fall..
Holton, a 6-2, 190-pound full
back, earned 15 letters in high
school. Tom Collins, another
backfield candidate, has run the
100 in 9.7. Nobody was interested
in the I,Viert.on speedster as a
football prospect when he fin
ished high school because he
weighed only 150. Now he scales
'nearly 180.
In their opening test against
Fairfield State Teachers Sept. 21,
the Little Mounties rolled to a
46-6 victory.
Meanwhile Lion coach Earl
Bruce reported that four of his
gridders are on the injured list
and may not see action here Sat
urday. The four are center Ted
Gregor, guard Bill Neil, end Tony
Gebicki and halfback Ed Stuck
rath,
On the brighter side of things,
Frank Potter, one' of Bruce's top
quarterback prospects, has been
looking good in drills. Potter, a
high school all-American, Don
Caum. Ron Coates and Frank
Hershey are fighting for the start
ing quarterback post.
Patriots Sign Addison
BOSTON (W) The Boston Pa
triots (AFL) yesterday announced
the signing of linebacker Tommy
Addison, recently released by the
Philadelphia Eagles. He played
for four years at South Carolina.
World Amateur. Golf Tourney
Starts at Merlon Club Today
By HUGH FULLERTON JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
ARDMORE, Pa. (/P) Ama
teur golfers from 32 nations
start out today at the Merion
Golf Club in one of the most
cordial and confusing of all
international competitions
the second World Amateur
Golf Team Championship.
Inaugurated at St. Andrews,
Scotland, two years ago; the
world • team championship is
played by four-man teams repre
senting each nation. Only the best
three scores each day, however,
are toward the team totals.
This makes it a bit difficult
for players to understand what
is going on. But friendship and
international amity are consid
ered more important than
scores in this competition—at
least until it comes to a show
down for the huge silver Eisen
hower Trophy.
The object of the competition is
"friendship and sportsmanship
through golf." Judging by the
cordiality displayed among the
players here, that obpect is rap
idly. being attained.

championship in 1958, defeating
