Penn State Ekes Out
Win Over lowa
It nearly happened. Last
Saturday, the Penn State
Nittany Lions almost lost their
first football game at home in
close to two years. Only a
desparation touchdown drive
salvaged a 14 to 10 win over the
Hawkeyes from the University
of lowa.
Penn State came from behind
in the final three minutes and
scored the winning touchdown
with but 36 seconds remaining.
The face saving points came
when State quarterback John
Hufnagel, on a third-and-eight
situation at the lowa 10 yard
line, scrambled out of the
pocket and tossed to tight end
Dan Natale who was open in the
corner of the end zone.
The game marked the third
straight week in which the
outcome of the game was not
determined until the final
seconds. The Lions have been
lucky to gain two victories in
these frustrating, but exciting
contests. For three Saturdays,
Penn State has floundered,failing
to score in the first half and
demonstrating an acute lack of
offensive power. State had the
ball for 27 plays in the first two
periods, yet produced only 68
yards in net yardage in this
game. The average yards per play
reflected a dismal 2.6.
But the defense in the first
half was superb. Larry Ludwig,
Bruce Bannon, John Skorupan,
Ed O'Neil, Randy Crowder and
the remaining members of the
unit continually stymied the
Hawkeye attack. lowa received
the opening kickoff, but lost the
ball on the second play from
scrimmage when Crowder stole
the ball from lowa QB Kyle
Skogman just as he tried to hand
it off. The Lions almost seemed
as if they were refusing to play
offense as three plunges into the
line failed to produce the first
down yardage. Al Vitiello tried a
field goal from 44 yards out
which was wide.
During the first quarter, the
Lions fumbled the ball away
twice and halfback John
Cappelletti at one time carried
the ball seven straight times.
Hu fn agel 's problems were
compounded when receivers
Dave Bland and Bob Rickenbach
dropped passes in the open.
lowa got the ball early in the
second period and put together a
drive which led to a field goal.
Skogman completed passes for
two first downs and ran for a
third until the drive stalled at
the State 27. Then lowa's Harry
Kokolus kicked a 44 yard field
goal.
State's offense in the second
quarter duplicated that of the
first as they had the ball three
times, each time running three
plays, then punting. lowa's
Kokolus again tried a long field
goal, but this time it was short.
The half ended with lowa ahead,
3-0.
Penn State looked dead in the
third period. They blew a golden
opportunity to score when
Bruce Bannon recovered a
fumble at the lowa 26. State
failed to move the ball, and
then halfback Gary Hayman
fumbled a punt and lowa
recovered on their own 40.
More fantastics were yet in
the offing. lowa came right back
with a 63 yard march. End Brian
Rollins got loose in the State
secondary and caught Skogman's
36 yard heave on the goal line.
With three minutes remaining,
lowa looked like a sure winner
with a 10 to 7 lead. Fans started
to leave the stadium in droves.
It was do or die for State.
The ensuing kickoff flew into
the end zone and State took
possession on its own 20.
Hufnagel completed a pass to
Hayman in the left flat and he
got to the 35 before he was
downed. State had the firepower
now. Huffy passed to Natale for
eight more. After two
incompletions , the crucial play
of the game found the Lions
with a fourth hand two at their
own 43.
Hufnagel tried the option play
to the right side. Just as it
appeared he was stopped, Huffy
tossed the ball to the trailing
Cappelletti who raced down the
sideline to the lowa 25 yard line.
The fourth period in the
battle of attrition provided the
most excitement. The record
crowd in Beaver Stadium of
58,065 stirred restlessly as
Hayman dropped back deep in
State territory to again field a
punt. This time he latched on to
the ball in heavy traffic at the
five. He zig-zagged up the field
and almost got loose before
being tackled at the PSU 37.
Hufnagel then directed State's
first sustained drive of the game.
The big plays were a 14 yard run
by Hayman, an 11 yard sweep
by Cappelletti, and a 21 yard
pass-run play by Natale .
Cappelletti got the final seven
yards by bursting off tackle.
Bitiello's placement gave the
Lion's the lead with ten minutes
left in the game.
The 32 yard run breathed new
life into the attack. On the next
play, Hayman burst through to
the Hawkeye 12, but was shaken
up on the play. He limped to the
bench to the cheers of the
appreciative fans. Two plays
hence found the Lions with an
illegal procedure penalty,
endangering the drive. Hufnagel
was undaunted, though, and
passed to Natale on the critical
third down call, putting the
Lions ahead. The fans exploded;
the finish was exhausting.

Arlington, Texas (CPS) --
People who smoke marijuana
and think they are enjoying
themselves are wrong, according
to a sociologist at the University
of Texas.
Dr. Jess Lord, associate
professor of sociology, came to
that conclusion while doing
research for his book, Marijuana
and Personality Change.
Marijuana users, according to
Lord, usually describe their
experiences as pleasurable, but
psychology tests of subjects
while under the influence of the
drug did not bear out their
contentions.
"The experience isn't like the
user thinks it is," he said in a
recent interview, "I'm convinced
of that."
Lord believes the apparent
deception isn't conscious or
deliberate and "bears a lot more
investigation." He can offer little
explanation for the seeming
paradox.
Lord has also come to the
conclusion that marijuana is
more dangerous than he
previously believed.
"As I went through research,
I became more impressed with
the damaging aspects of
marijuana. My impression of the
drug shifted, believing it to be
more dangerous than I had
thought originally."
Three and a half years ago,
Lord began research on his book
with funds from a University of
Tulsa grant. Since then he has
supervised extensive testing of
37 marijuana users, both male
and female, ranging in age from
17 to 23 years of age.
According to Lord, the 37
users had personality problems
even when they weren't stoned.
"As a group," he laments,"
they were poorly adjusted. They
were considerably more
maladjusted than the 'normal'
college age group."
He obtained "very definite
reactions" from test subjects in
five areas: contact with reality,
overt anxiety, social adjustment,
excitement and personal
adequacy. His studies indicated
that as the amount of marijuana
increased , response rose
accordingly.
Lord also determined that
females tended to show a
"higher level of negative
reaction" while males were more
strongly influenced by the drug.

Yearbook Sale
The CAPITOLITE has
announced that its fall yearbook
sale will begin on October 16 in
Vendroville. The sale will be a
week long affair. Anyone who
wishes to purchase the 1973
edition of the CAPITOLITE
may do so by paying the total
cost of the publication, seven
dollars, or by submitting a down
payment of four dollars to
reserve their copy.
The reason for the increase in
price is due to rising costs in
publication and printing plus a
tremendous cut in the
CAPITOLITE's budget
allotment from the Student
Government Association. The
yearbook's editorial staff,
headed by Jan Marks, has
expressed deep regret at the
budget rejection.
Copies of the 1972
CAPITOLITE are still available
for those who did not purchase
one last year. The cost of the '72
yearbook was six dollars.
