STARTING BACKS AVERAGE: Penn State (191): Cali fornia (196). CAPTAINS: Penn State (Smith): California (Burress). T. White's tk% Scouting Report Gold Makes (al Dangerous Lion end coach J. T. White watched California's Golden Bears upset Washington 21-14 two weeks ago and lose to Southern Cal 28-14 last week. RECORD: California lost to Texas (28-3), lowa (28-7) and Southern Cal (28-14); tied Missouri (14-14) and defeated Washington (21-14). COACH: Mary Levy, one of football's youngest head coaches, is in his second year as top man at California. He came to the Golden Bears from New Mexico where he had a 14-6 record over a two-year span. In his first year at the Skyline Conference school he was named the conference's Coach of-the-Year. Last year he was 2-1-7 at Cali fornia. OFFENSE: Cal's offense is very similar to Syracuse's. They run what is called a "Delaware offense"—a lot of power sweeps and counters. In the two games I've watched they've been behind and have had to throw a lot. BACKS: Randy Gold is their sparkplug. He J. T. White missed the first two games because of an injury and last week he had a bad day against Southern Cal, but he's a good one. He's a dangerous runner as well as a very good passer and he fakes well. Second team quarterback Larry Balliett gets the job done very well also. The halfbacks, especially Alan Nelson, have good speed. They run hard and get that extra two yards. And I haven't seen a better fullback this year than George Pierovich. Pierovich and Nelson are both excellent blockers. LINE: Their line is just as big if not bigger than ours. They don't have a player on the program listed over 215 but don't let that fool you. The entire line has good speed and does a lot of pulling. John Erby, the shortside guard, is their best man up front in my estimation. V EVALUATION: California has played five of the top teams in the country and they have scored in all five games, despite the fact that Gold missed both the Texas and lowa contests. They beat Washington, last year's Rose Bowl champ, and : t: tied Missouri, the Orange Bowl champ. They had Missouri 14-6 in the lat - quarter before the Tigers came back for a score. Last week against Southern Cal they finished .strong, scoring two last period touchdowns. They also had some great goal line stands in that, game. They have a tough de fensive secondary which has intercepted eight passes in five games. If our kids show any kind of a letdown after the Syracuse win, we'll be in trouble.

The Ripper will be without the services of right half backs Don Jonas and Gary Wydman, guard Dick Wilson and end Dave Robinson. Jonas, a do-everything halfback who ranks near the top in every Penn State offensive category, is out for at least four weeks with a shoulder separation. However, Engle indicated he will still use Jonas for extra-point and field goal kicking, dtties Wydman was expected to fill --- the gap in the Reddie Unit back field when Junior Powell moved up to the starting team to replace Jonas, but yesterday team physi cian Alfred H. Griess said that a bruised chest will keep the Lion sophomore from seeing any ac tion 24 22 60 Both Wilson and Bob Hart in jured their knees in mid-week field goal drills, but Hart, re covered quickly and will start on the Reddie Unit. Wilson wasn't as fortunate. Dr. Griess said that the sprained liga ments in his left knee would keep him out of the game. Robinson, lost io the team since the season lidlifter against Navy, is still a week away from frying a comeback. Robinson's shoulder separation is healing rapidly and he worked out in full equipment the past week. A combination of injuries plus some disappointing performances from key Lion operatives has kept State from fulfilling its po tential so far this year. But last week. State rumbled and roared and Engle is hoping that a sleeping giant is awaken ing. The Lions beat Navy 20-10, lost to Miami 25-8, upended (Continued on page thirteen), * * * High-Stepping By JIM KARL RUDY CARVAJAL . fleet sophomore starting left tackle * * Golden Bears— 4? ` wv Daily Collegian Sports 'We're Out For Blood,' Player Says Penn State may be meeting California at the wrong time of the season at Beaver Sta dium this afternoon. The Golden Bears were drubbed by Southern Cal, 28-14, last week and according to at least one player, they'll have fire in their eyes this afternoon when they try to prove that. they're not as bad as their 1-3 record indicates. "We're out for blood," Cali fornia's hard-hitting left guard John Erby said yesterday after the Bears ran through a light workout in Beaver Stadium. "We played a bad game last week against Southern Cal, and tomor row we're going to make up for it." , "The spirit in practice this week was really high, and I for one can hardly wait until to morrow," Erby said. "Our whole Iteam wants to win this one badly and we're going to be ' hitting for keeps." "I know Penn State has a good 'team, but I feel we can beat them," the 190-pound junior said. "As a matter of fact, I'm sure we're going to win." The Bears' brilliant quarter back, Randy Gold, agreed with his teammate. "1 think we're ready for a victory," Gold said.
