Eckert Destined to Join Last Minute TD Pass Gives
Chi Win Over Triangle
Army Quarterback Greats Theta
By JIM KARL
Army has had some great
quarterbacks in its recent foot
ball history, but three in par
ticular—Arnold Tucker, Ar
nold Galiffa and Joe Caldwell
—stand out above the rest.
vobody is saying that Dick
Eckert. the junior signal-caller
who will direct the Black Knights
against Penn State Saturday,
should be included at present in
that elite threesome.
But if Eckert keeps perform
ing as he has the past three
Saturdays, it won't be long be
fore that exclusive trio becomes
an exclusive quartet.
"Eckert is the heart of their
.foot hall team," Lion quarterback
coach Joe Paterno said. "If he
goes, Army goes."
Eckert is the fifth-ranking pass
er in the nation to date and runs
the option as if he invented it.
Ile has completed 31 of 53 passes
for a .585 average and 290 yards
so far this year and is Army's
third leading ground gainer with
78 yards in 31 carries.
As a sophomore last year
Eckert understudied Tom
Blanda, but he still managed io
complete 14 of 41 passes for 177
yards and three touchdowns.
He gained 127 yards on 40
rushes and scored the winning
touchdown in the upset over
Syracuse.
Eckert was an outstanding
athlete at Carlisle• High School,
where he won nine letters and
captained the football, basket
ball and baseball teams. •
Ile and Don Caum, State's
sophomore signal-caller, are con
sidered to be two of the finest
hacks ever to play in the Har
risburg area.
Eckert and Caum, who guar-
terbacked Central Dauphin
High School, played against
each other twice, with Central
Dauphin winning both games,
14-0 in 1957 and 20-7 a year
later.
Caum raced 75 yards on a punt
return and hit Skip Finklesion,
of Penn State Intramural fame,
with a 14-yard TD pass to account
for both scores in the 1957 vic
tory.
Eckert got Carlisle's only touch
down on an eight-yard run in
the second game and had an 81-
yard kickoff return called back
because of a penalty.
Although Eckert has • done
most of Army's quarterbacking
in the victories over Richmond
and Boston University and the
loss to Michigan last week,
coach Dale Hall has another
field general, Joe Blackgrove, ,
who is considered almost as
dangerous as Eckert. 1
"Blackgrove isn't quite as sharp
a passer as Eckert," Paterno said,i
"but he's a better runner. In fact,!

Army considers him their best
back."
• The speedy 170-pound junior
was a defensive halfback last year
but he ran so well in spring
practice that Hall converted him
to quarterback.
Army uses the lonely end of
fense and State line coach Tor
Torreti, who scouted the Cadets
in their last two games, calls
the Black Hawks "primarily a
passing team."
But Army has also used the
quarterback option often this year,
and it's easy to understand why
with runners like Eckert and
Blackgrove on hand.
