Mike Marsh Chosen
Athlete Of Week
by Tom Harvey
Sports Reporter
Mike Marsh has been selected
this week's "athlete of the week"
for his outstanding performance
against Allegheny and Beaver.
The 5' 10", 220 lb. sophomore was
selected for the super defensive
work that the big center fullback
turned in. Coach Herb Lauffer
stated: "Against Allegheny, Mike
turned in one of the best games
ever for Behrend, not only
physically but mentally, as well.
He put his excellent soccer
background to work by providing
good heads up play against both
Allegheny and Beaver."
The Springdale, Pa. native
plays a position that is not noted
for having great scorers.
However, Marsh has turned in 8
goals and one assist by providing
the Behrend booters with the big

Lauffer said of his defensive ace:
"Mike plays a position that gives
him little scoring opportunities
but to utilize his accurate shot we
have used him in all our penalut
shots with excellent results."
Lauffer continued: "But it is in
the defensive department that
Mike has distinguished himself.
The center fullback is not a flashy
type position but is an integral
part of the defense and Mike has
led the defense all year.
Mike is also one of the co
captains for the Behrend eleven
and has provided leadership both
on and off the field for the suc
cessful Behrend soccer squad. It
is with athletes such as Mike
Marsh that carry Cub hopes in
the Commonwealth campus
championship.

by Dave Ruef
Sports Editor
Behrend Campus' wrestling
team, the defending Corn
monwe-alth Campus Champions,
are hard to work preparing for
the Edinboro Invitational
Tourney, December 3-4.
Coach Ed Onorato welcomed
back three returning veterans
that will form the nucleus of this
year's squad. Back from last
year's team are Tom Staszewski
from Academy, Mark Hedges
from Cathedral Prep and Paul
Jazenski from Iroquois. The
latter two were Commonwealth
Campus champs last year.
A big battle is shaping up for
the starting position in the 118 lb.
class. Candidates include Chris
Cardillo from Churchill, Mike
Curr, who was the District 10
champ at Ft. Leßeouf, and the
Parochial state champ Julio
DeMarco from Cathedral Prep.
In the 126 division, Hedges and
Bob Newcombe, from State
College High School, are the
leading candidates. Larry
Gedora from Churchill and Denny
Steadman will vie for the starting

Maryland This Saturday
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.,
Nov. Penn State, its perfect
football record intact after a 35-7
win over West. Virginia last week,
hosts intersectional rival
Maryland at Beaver Stadium
Saturday (Nov. 6).
A capacity crowd of ap
proximately 48,500 is expected
for the 1:30 p.m. kickoff. No
standing room tickets will be sold
for the game. which is Penn
State's fourth straight sellout at
home this year.
The halftime show will feature
50 Pennsylvania high school
bands in Penn State's 22nd annual
Band Day program.
"We had to play a great foot
ball game to beat West
Virginia." Penn State coach Joe
Paterno says. "I'm just hopeful
that we can stick together and
pay attention to first things first—
and that of course means
Maryland this week."
The win over the Mountaineers
boosted Penn State's season
record to 7-0 and their current
winning streak to 12 over a two
year period. Maryland is 2-6 after
its 38-0 romp over VMI last week.
"Maryland is a better team
than the record indicates," says
Penn State coaching assistant
John Rosenburg, who scouted the
Terps. "They have lost several
close games, but they seemed to
put everything together last
wee."
.Sophomore quarterback Al
Neville is the key man in the
Maryland attack. Neville has
completed 64 of his 131 passin
attempts for 041 yards and eight.
touchdowns. His favorite
receiver has been his former high
school teammate, split end Dan
Sungori, who . has 21 receptions
for 309 yards and two touch
downs.
Neville's passing is com
plemented by a strong running
game, featuring tailback. Art
Seymore. The shifty, 175-pound
Seymore was hampered by in
juries earlier this season, but is
healthy now. He has gained 289
yards on 90 rushing attempts.

tenders in the 142 division are
Larry Fabrizi from Cathedral
Prep and Ted Ward who hails
from Mt. Lebanon. John Clancy,
from Abington High, looks good
thus far in the 158 lbs. class. Tom
Tillman has the inside track in the
167 lb. class as do Jazinski and
Staszewski in the 177 lb. and 190
lb. divisions. Mike Deeb from
Iroquois, who will wrestle
Heavyweight, rounds out the 14-
man squad.
Thus far, Coach Onorato is
optimistic. "This is the best
personnel we've ever had. Most of
the boys have had previous ex
perience and we should go far.
I'm a little disappointed at the
turnout because there are
numerous wrestlers on campus
who decided not to participate.
But overall we're shaping up for a
fine season."

The Maryland defense is built
around Guy Roberts, who has
played five different defensive
positions this season. He will
probably be the "rover" this
week. Defensive back Larry
Marshall is having a great
season, leading the team in in
terceptions, punt returns and
kickoff returns.
The Terps will have to contend
with a Penn State team that many
opposing coaches have called
better than the 1968 and 1969 Lion
squads. This year's team is
among the national leaders in
rushing offense, total offense,
scoring, total defense and scoring
defense.
The Lions are averaging 457.1
yards and 41.4 points per game
while limiting their first seven
opponents to 240.1 yards and 7.1
points per contest.
Balance has been the key to the
Lion success this season.
Senior halfback Lydell Mitchell
has been getting most of the at
tention as he threatens nearly all
of the Penn State rushing and
scoring records, but fullback
Franco Harris and quarterback
John Hufnagel are also having

College Football

Sports Reporter
This week in college football,
Jim Pittman, the newly acquired
Head Coach of Texas Christian
University, died of a heart attack.
Just a year ago he led Tulane to a
very successful season and a
great Liberty Bowl victory. To be
a coach takes so much out of a
person, and he surely gave all he
could.
The nation's No. 1 team,
Nebraska once again showed it
all, passing, rushing and defense
which made Colorado look like
any other team. Oklahoma, kept

Mitchell is the team rushing
leader with 965 yards and has set
a new Penn State record with 166
touchdowns. He needs 49 yards
against Maryland to become
Penn State's all-time rushing
leader and 118 yards to - establish
a season rushing record. Boh
marks are held by Lenny Moore,
the legendary halfback who
gained 1,082 yards in one season
and 2,380 yards in his career.
Harris is second to Mitchell in
rushing with 462 yards. Hufnagel
has a slim lead over Mitchell in
total offense. The junior quar
terback has completed 60 per per
cent of his passes (48 of 80) for 680
yards and has added 291 yards on
the ground.
Hufnagel, Harris and Mitchell
give most of the credit for their
performances to an , offensive
line led by tackle Dave Joyner,
and All-American candidate in his
own right.
The defense is led by linebacker
Charlie Zapiec and a strong front
four that has allowed only one
touchdown on the ground this
season.
