Penn State Takes On
A Strong Army Team
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.,
OCTOBER—A'rmy and Penn
State, defenders of Eastern
football respectability in in
tersectional games the last two
weeks, meet head-on this
Saturday.
A capacity crowd of ap
proximately 50,000 is expected to
jam Beaver Stadium for the
game. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.
(EDT)
Penn State comes into the
game with a 3-0 record, including
victories over intersectional foes
lowa and Air Force the last two
weeks. Army is 2-1, beating
Georgia Tech and Missouri in the
last two outings after an opening
game loss to Stanford.
"Army is a solid team—
particularly on defense,"
Paterno says. `,`They have played
tough hard-nosed football against
good competition.
Paterno was pleased with the
Nittany Lions' 16-14 come-from
behind victory over Air Force
last week.
"We beat a good, solid
defensive team" Paterno says. "I
was, particularly pleased that we
were able to come.from behind. L
was generally satisfied with the
way most of our people reacted,"
The Lions were bothered by
fumbles and major penalties on
offense, but Paterno credited the
strong Air Force defense with
causing most of the Lions' of
fensive problems. •
The Falcons, who suffered
their first loss after wins over
Missouri and Wyoming, did a
good job on Penn State's one-two
running punch of Lydell Mitchell
and Franco Harris.
But Mitchell was still the
game's leading groundgainer
with 91 yards in 18 carries. The
Lion senior also had four

Harris gained 60 yards against

place on the all-time rushing list.
Defensively, the Lions had a
strong effort against the Falcons
with the exception of several
breakdowns in the secondary.
"We made a few mistakes in
the secondary, but you have to
give a lot of credit to the Air
Force receivers," Paterno says.
"Bassa (tight end Paul) made a
fantastic catch for their second
touchdown."
Paterno was pleased by the
play of his linebackers, par
ticularly defensive captain
Charlie Zapiec.
"Zapiec played another out

says. "He made several key
tackles and came
,up .with an
important interception."

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.,
SEPT.—Penn State opened its
1971 soccer season here Wed
nesday (October 6) against West
Chester.
The Nittany Lions, who return
11 lettermen, including the top
five scorers from last year, hope
to match or improve their 1971
record.
Last season the Lions compiled
their best record in 13 years (9-3),
gained a berth in the NCAA
tournament and finished 11th in
the final national collegiate
soccer rankings.
Heading the list of 1971
returnees are Andy Rymarczuk

in three games.
Paterno feels the Lions will
need another good defensive
effort against Army. The Cadets
have been primarily a running
team in the first three games;but
sophomore King Fink (no kid
ding) came off the bench last
week to throw three touchdown
passes in the 22-6 win over
Missouri.
A trio of running backs—Ray
Ritacco, Bruce Simpson and Bob
Hines—provide the ground
support. Ritacco is the rushing
leader with 174 yards. Simpson
has 146 yards and Hines has 75.
Hines missed last week's game
with a bruised shoulder, but is
expected to play this week.
The Army defense has been
outstanding the last two weeks.
The top men are defensive end
John Roth, linebacker Gary
Topping and defensive halfback
Matt Wotell.
This is the 19th meeting bet
ween Penn State and Army since
the series started in 1899. The
Cadets hold a 10-6 edge in the
rivalry. There have been two ties.
Penn State has won the last two
games between the two teams,
including last year's 38-14 vic
tory. The 38 points and the 24-
point spread were the largest
point total and the largest margin
of victory in the series for the
Nittany Lions.

of Philadelphia (seven goals, two

would appear to be defense,
where the Lions lost three

Penn State cross country coach
Harry Grove will rely heavily on
All-American Greg Fredricks.
One of the nation's top distance
runners, Fredericks earned All-
American honors last fall with a
fourth place finish in the NCAA
meet. The senior co-captain also
placed second in the. ICAAAA

gained All-American honors in

Yes, Sportfans, it's that time of
year again when wives threaten
divorce and girl friends attempt
to break off the relationship. In
other words, it's National
Football League time again and
to commemorate the occasion,
the Collegian presents its 1971
Pro Football preview.
NFC East
1. Dallas-Tom Landry, held
coach. A devastating offensive
machine led by Hill, Hayes;
Alworth, and an experienced line
spearheaded by Ralph Neely.
The Doomsday Defense led by
Lilly, Howley, and All-Pro Mel
Renfro is one of the league's best.
The offense and defense are the
strongest in the league and the
Cowboys should win the NFC and
enter the Super Bowl.
2. Washington-George Allen,
head coach. Taylor, Brown,
Jerry Smith, and Jefferson
form a potent offensive thrust.
Defense has been bolstered with
the addition of ex-Rams Pardee,
Pottios, and Petition. The loss of
Jurgensen might hurt the 'Skins
title hopes. The revitalized
Redskins under Allen aren't quite
consistent enough to take top spot
fiorO CoWboys.
3. St. Louis-Bob Holloway. head
coach. An ag_gressive and ex
perienced offensive line led by
McMillian and Reynolds com
prise a basis for a sound offense.
Gilliam and Lane supply the
lightning end Smith provides the
consistency. The defensive backs
are strongly led by Wehrl and
Wilson. The Cards are a good
club as proved last year until
their fold by they are not good
enough to overhaul Dallas.
4. New York-Alex Webster,
head coach. Tarkenton,
Frederickson, Johilson and
McNeil lead the offensive
firepower. The defense is in need
of a complete overhaul with
Lurtserna, Dryer, and Files only

Last week's Soccer Tour
nament was yet another example
of student apathy towards
Behrend athletics.
Out of 1550 students enrolled at
Behrend, - approximately 75
students attended Friday's
match and only 100 viewed
Saturday's affair.
I find it hard to believe that the
other 1400 students are either
working or have other
engagements.
The few students that did at
tend the soccer matches will tell
you that soccer is a very action
packed sport. The players, with
no protection whatsoever, are
constantly crashing into each
other, causing numerous fights,
which should be of interest to
many blood-thirsty fans.
If Behrend athletics is ever to
grow, it will need a strong student
backing. Please support all the
athletic teams.

5. Philadelphia-Jerry Williams,
head coach. Hawkins, Hallman,

recei - ving corps. Rossovich all
pro material at middle
linebacker. The Eagles are young
but.. there are too many
weaknesses to be a contender.
_ NFC West
1. San Francisco-Dick Nolan,
head coach. The right arm of
John Brodie and receiving corps
led by Gene Washington and Ted
Kwalick spark the SF offense.
Rushing game sound with
Willard and rookie Vic
Washington. The 49ers have no
apparent weakness and will
challenge Dallas for Super Bowl
berth.
2. Atlanta-Norm Van Brocklin,
head coach. The young Falcons
have a hard hitting defense led by
Nobis and Humphrey. The of
fense has improved behind the
quarterbacking . of Berry and the
running of Malone. The depth is
suspect for the' Falcons to
challenge the 49ers.
3. Los Angeles-Tom Prothro,
head coach. Roman Gabriel,
Snow, and Rentzel form the
nucleus of a strong passing game.
Josephson and Ellison lead
rushing game_ The defense is in a
rebuilding stage due to the
trading of veterans. This lack of
experience as a unit will cost the
rams any serious title hopes.
4. New Orleans-J.D. Roberts . ,
head coach. Archie Manning is
turning in a fine job as a rookie
QB. The offensive line and entire
defense is in a rebuilding stage
composed of mainly young and
growing and if they jell will cause
problems for many NFC teams
this year.
1. Detroit-Joe Schmidt. head
coach. A fine defense (as all
defenses are in the "Black and
Blue Division") led by Lucci,
Walker, Naumoff, and Barney,
The offense is in good hands with
Landry at QB. Supported by
Farr, Owens, Taylor, Sanders,
and McCulloch and an ex
nerienced offensive line led by
Flaiiagan, the Lions will have a
tough battle with Vikings for the
top spot and the final meeting on
Dec, 11 between two powers will
nrove the difference.
2. Minnesota-Bud Grant,head
coach. The Purple People Eaters
are the finest aggregate of
defenders in either
conference. Led by Front Four of
Eller, Marshall, Page, and
Larsen the Purple Gang will
cause many headaches this fall.
The offense is methodical and
effective if not sensational. The
Vikings will not finish first as
they will lose to the Lions in their
final meeting but the Purple
Gang will still enter the playoffs
as the team with the best second
place record.
3. Chicago-Jim Dooley, head
roach. The Bears " rockribbed
defense led by All-Universe
Middle Linebacker Dick Butkus
is the major strength of the
Chicagoans. The rest of the of
fense lacks fire power especially
when Sayers is injured. The
Bears surprised the first two
weeks of the season and in the
Windy City it will be the defeiise
that carries the Bears title hopes.
But not this year.
4. Green Bay-Dan Devine, head
coach. The defense is sound if not
as spectacular as the other three
teams in the division. -- McCoy,
Robinson, and Wood lead the
Pack's defense: Anderson has
come' into own on the offensive
side and Dale still heads
receivers. Retirement has
decimated. to line and the
replacements are not the same
caliber players. QB is suspect
with Starr out and backed by 40
year old Bratkowski. Rookie
Hunter has much to learn. The
Pack is not back and they won't
be for awhile especially in this
