SPORTS
by Robert Ko zak
The year of the Nittany Lion is
in full swing. Before the start of
the current season, Penn State's
eleven has ranked as one of the top
teams in the nation. Currently
sporting a 3-0 record and number
three national ranking, the charges
of coach Joe Paterno are living up
to pre-season expectations. The
lions opened the season with a 31-
6 victory over a determined Navy
team. Kansas State was the next
victim, losing 25-9 last weekend,
the boys defeated a strong West Vir
ginia team 31-20.
Coach Paterno was reportedly
very proud of his team's comeback
victory over Kansas State. "This
is the time," he told his team at
half-time, "to see if you have
it." And they did.
The victory over Kansas State
has a taste of misfortune. Half
back Bob Campbell, All-American
candidate, suffered a shoulder sep
aration that will place him out of
action indefinitely. He will be
replaced by Gary Duel or Charlie
Wilson, both sophomores and lack
ing experience.
Most newcomers to the Hazleton
Campus are not aware of the many
opportunities available for partici
pating in athletics. Intercampus
competition is held in chess, bowl
ing, ping-pong, and basketball.
In addition, there is an extensive
intramural program available to in
terested students. Intramural foot
ball and basketball teams are now
being formed. Anyone who enjoys
keen competition and would like
to join one of the inter-campus or
intramural teams should sign up on
the appropriate sheet located on the
bulletin board in the S.U.B. cafe
teria.
