total offensive’ pecord of 1,238
yards.
He is also nearing RadosVrecord
for passing yardage’ in one rea
son. Rados passed for 1.025 yards
in -1953. Liske has thrown for
901 yards through the Lions’ first
nine games.
In , addition to his passing
heroics, Liske has developed into
an outstanding runner on a
quarterback keeper play. His 273
yards rushing ranks second only
to All-American halfback candi
date Roger Kochman’s 595.
” Liske “discovered” .his running
ability three weeks ago when the
Nittanies played Maryland in a
blizzard. With snow limiting the
Lions’ aerial attack, Liske started
running and has .“been ever since.
Liske’s favorite target, Junior
Powell, is also approaching a
Penn State record.
Powell has grabbed 30 passes
for 289 yards so far this season
and needs only four receptions
against Pitt Saturday to break
Jesse Arnelle's 1952 record of 33
receptions fn one season.
All - American end candidate
Dave Robinson trails Powell in
the pass-catching department
Robinson has- grabbed 17 passes
