You're Ahead
With a Ford
, Wes i Virginia may riot, have the most
impressive football team in the nation. In
fact, they’re not even close.
With a 1-3-1 record and a team that
has, only' four men that weigh more than
220 pounds, the Mountaineers are hardly
anything to write home about. Their only
victory is a. 24-13 triumph over William and
Mary. In short, they’ve made as much im
pression as a wet marshmallow stabbed into
an Indian Rhinoceros.
But, don't let that fool you. It .won't
be exactly peaches and cream tomorrow as
the Lions seek their eighth consecutive win
against the Mountaineers, Their 6-fool 2-inch
AllrAmerican halfback candidate- Garrett
Ford has been breaking through' Opposing
defenses like a bulldozer run amuck.
“Galaxie” Garrett has been putting most
opposing coaches into a' head-scratching
orbit. The’junior halfback from Washington,
D.C., has established himself as one of the
top players in collegiate football.
Mountaineer coach Jim Carlen calls him
“as good a running back as I’ve been asso
ciated with.” And, there is little wonder. Ford
has gained some 568 yards on the ground
in 117 carries for a 4.9 average.-
When ysu campare Ford to two other
All-American halfbacks in the counity, tile
statistics ate' amazing. UCLA's Mel Farr
has gained 495 yards on 1 the ground, while
Syracuse's' Floyd Little has gained only 394
yards rushing. (
It’s true 'that when you choose between
the trio, it’s like picking : six eggs from one
hand or half a dozen from the other. But,
there’s more to the story. Ford has gained
more than half of West Virginia’s rushing
yardage with a light offensive line (average
is about 210 pouhds) that gets pushed around
by opposing defenses like flys caught. in
the mainstream Of Hurricane Inez.
'The thoughts of Ford running behind
an-even fair blocking, team like the Lions
is. enough, to cause opposing coaches the
frustration of a 98-yard kick-off return
being called back. " ‘'
■ Lion coach Joe Paterno' is equally aware
of Ford’s tantalizing talents. “Ford is a great
back," Paterno said. “I think he’s 'compar
able to Fel Farr of UCLA and Clinton Jones
of Michigan State. He may even be better.”
If Ford’s average of 113.6 yard' per
game is amazing, his statistics' as a sopho
more are just as impressive. Ford, whose 217
pound frame is seven pounds heavier than
the Mountaineer offensive line average, was

just 27 yards short Of breaking the all-time
West Virginia -one season rushing'record.
Galaxie Garrett gained 894 -. yards and
ranked -13th in the nation for; rushing. His
6,4 yards per carry. were also something' of
recognition. ‘
The West, Virginia passing/game has v
been below standard .this season as sopbo-.
more quarterback Tom Digon has fjotten/
into, the - habit of projecting his. passes to
one of two targets, In -fact; ;the top' pass
catcher on the team is junior wingback
Larry Shine., who has hauled in-only 6 re
ceptions. • ,
The Mountaineers' opponents have,
therefore, keyed on Ford. But, he has not
been, stopped. ' , .. -
Against Pittsburgh he rammed 153
yards on 23 tries. He broke through tacklers
or hauled them on his back. You name it,
he does it.
The Niliany Lions move info tomor
row's game wifh a losing record and a thirst
for the victory. In the last three years the
Lions have used West Virginia as a whip
ping boy. Penn Slate won last year 44-6,
the year before that 37-8, and 20-9 in 1963.
The Lions are out to win, and win they
most assuredly will. But, if- anyone, will
make the road" to' Lion victory any tougher
than it has been in the last seven encounters,
Ford will.
Ford wears no. 32 and has the smooth
stride and mannerisms of his idol—the great
Jim Brown. He even looks something like
the brilliant Cx-Cleveland fullback.
To look like Jim Brown, wear Jim
Brown’s , old number, and have the. stride
and mannerisms of Jim BroWn is great.
But, to perform like the all-time, all-pro
line buster is something else.
Galaxie' Garrett could make believers
of us all.
-Penn State football coach Joe Paterno
said the Nittany Lions would break tradition
a bit by canceling a practice session at Mor
gantown before taking on West Virginia
tomorrow.
In the past, he explained, the Lions have
gone to Morgantown early Friday and .work
ed out after arriving. But this year they are
scheduled to leave late in the - day after a
practice session at,Beaver Stadium.
He said there was.no particular reason
\Z t* !Ti ch 'u exCept that jt would permit
, t 0 ha Y e a more extensive and
more private session.
