Penn State Faces Texas Debate Over Cotton Bowl Choice
In a 1967 bowl-season debate, Penn State officials and backers argue over Texas and Ohio State as top foes.

The discussion includes motives for choosing Florida or Dallas and the broader national interest in Lions players entering the pro draft.
