WEDNESDAY. 31.1962 Underrated Liske Lei Lion Gridders to 5-1 By JOHN MORRIS Sports Editor. Almost overlooked in all the post-game fuss over California quarterback Craig Morton Sat urday, Penn S.tate signal-caller • Pete Liske packed his gear aihd started thinking about the N}t tanies* assignment against Mary land this week. •• | Morton, had a'field day against the Lions, Massing for 274 yards on 20 completions in 28 attempts. He added 11 yards on the ground to set an all-time California in dividual total yardage mark lof 285 yards. ■ ■ It' wasn’t 1 the first time this year that liske has bden over shadowed by the antics of some' upstart underclassman. ’ [ Two weeks ago, it was Syra cuse sophomore -Walley -'Mahle who stole the limelight from Liske. And in weeks before that, the likes of Rice sophomore Wal ter Mcßeynolds, and Air Force junior Terry, Isaacson played bril liantly against the. Lions. 1 LISKE DOESN'T really care if he gets the! deadlines. The Lion junior is much more, interested in who, comes out oh top in fhe one statistic that counts—the final score. Despite the efforts of .Morton, Mahle, Mcßeynolds and ■ Isaac son, 1 Penn State has recorded vic tories over California, Syracuse, Rice and Air Force. , J Liske has been the . starting quarterback in all the Nittanies’ ggmes this year and has beeri a major factor in-the Lions’ success t<s date. " v He came up with the best day of his career against California Saturday, completing 14 of 17 passes’ for 150 yards and a touch down. .i . His. six-game totals show 60 completions in 103 attempts for 650 yards and six touchdowns. He has had only; two passes inter cepted all season.-; IN ADDITION. ; Liske is a sure ball-handler who operates with poise and skill in maneuvering around the Penn State backfield. , “You know we haven’t had'a w?a>^? m “ || THE GROOVE ROOM Pecan Roll ; I Discount I y clends , c L , you've ever EATEN!’ I D,SCOun , | ReCOfCl SpeClQlS "Remember ALL THIS WEEK j | hand-packed Candy Gift Boxes ° pe " e / $ ® ’f m f j .
