Va stly Improved
by R.W. Bonaker
In the past two weeks, the
Penn State Nittany Lion football
team has jelled into the highly
touted power they were
expected to be at the beginning
of the season.
Despite injuries to key
personnel, Penn State has
defeated the University of
Illinois at Champaign by 35-17
and Army at West Point 45-0. In
the Illinois game, the Illini took
the early lead with a first quarter
touchdown but the Lions roared
back to score three touchdowns
in 10 minutes and took a 28-10
half time lead. It was the first
time in four games that the Nits
garnered a score in the first half.
The last two periods were a
virtual standoff as Penn State
reserves played the rest of the
game. Halfback John Cappelletti
rolled up a 102 yards rushing in
the first two periods alone.
Quarterback John Hufnagel
rolled up 224 yards in total
offense by passing for a
touchdown and running for
another.
Then last Saturday at West
Point, N.Y. the Lions enjoyed
their best game of the year
under the gleaming sun on the
shore of the Hudson River.
Hufnagel directed the spirited
State attack which produced 38
points in less than 26 minutes of
the first three quarters.
Hufnagel, who made his starting
debut on this field two years
ago, has led the Lions to a 20-2
record while he has been at the
helm. The only two losses came
at the hands of the Univeristy of
Tennessee. Hufnagel thinks that
the Army team is a bunch of
kissing cousins as State has
defeated them by counts of
38-14, 42-0 and 45-0 in the past
three years.
Hufnagel had 224 yards in
total offense for the second
week in a row, completing 12 of
18 passes for 153 yards and two
touchdowns and rushing for a
net 71 yards. The big play was
his 64 yard rollout to the Army
one yard line to set up State's
second score.
The Lions won the game with
a display of wide open offense.
Both wide receivers, Jim Scott
and Scott Skarzynski, were
stationed on the same side of the
field, forcing Army to spread
out its defense. Hufnagel then
worked the option play to the
other side for much of the
afternoon, but "throwing back"
to the opposite side in clutch
situations.
The defense also had its top
performance of the year. In 56
offensive plays, Army could
muster only 97 yards. Jim
Heller, Randy Crowder, Mike
Hartenstein and Bruce Bannon
stopped the Cadet running game
cold, forcing them to go to the
air. The Lions intercepted three
passes as the Cadets completed
only 5 of 19 attempts.
Penn State got moving the
second time it had the ball. Dan
Natale caught Hufnagel's pass to
set up a first down at the State
47 yard line. Scott was pushed
before be could catch a pass on
the next play, bringing up
another first and ten at the
Cadet's 38. Cappelletti then
burst up the middle for 16
yards. State pushed inside the 10
but looked as though they were
stopped by a penalty. But
Hufnagel found Skarzynski in
the corner of the end zone and
hit him with a bullet from six
yards out.
After an exchange of punts,
State got the ball at its 35.
Hufnagel worked the option to
perfection and ran 64 yards to
the Army one. Cappelletti got
the score on the next play. On
the next series, Army made its
deepest penetration into Lion
territory by reaching the 22
before Buddy Ellis intercepted
Dick Atha's toss. Alberto
Vitiello booted his first field
goal fof the year from 36 yards
out when a Lion foray into
Army territory stalled. Just
before the half ended, the Lions
went to the air to get another
score . Hufnagel hit his receivers
with quick look-in passes and
drove inside the Army 20.
Cappelletti picked up the first
down at the Army 6 on a crucial
fourth down situation. Natale
then caught the scoring pass,
giving State a 24-0 half time
lead.
The first time they had the
ball in the third quarter, the Nits
went 78 yards in nine plays. The
key play was Natale's 38 yard
pass-run play. Cappelletti dived
over the line from the line for
the score a few plays later. Soon
afterwards, Linebacker Chris
Devlin covered a fumble at the
Army 12 to set up another
score. Reserve halfback Walt
Addie carried the ball over from
the six, making the score Penn
State 38, Army 0. Tom Hull
intercepted Kingsley final pass at
the Army 45 and ran to the 10
before being stopped.
Second-string QB Tom Shuman
ran the final eight yards. Vitiello
added all six placements.
State, now 4-1 going into
Saturday's game with Syracuse,
finally eliminated the turnovers
which have plagued them in
previous games. Going into the
Army contest, Penn State
committed 20 fumbles and
interceptions. . But they lost
only one fumble against Army,
and that was by the second unit.
Homecoming against Syracuse,
which has a 3-3 won-lost record,
should see the Lions at their
best. I pick Penn State to win by
a score of 35-14.

THE CAPITALIST
A Bit of Seasoning
by Elyse Paul
Sue Willens
Cheryl Thompson
Well, it's time to get into
things again. Elyse, Sue and
Cheryl are getting it together— or
trying to, for this column. So,
here goes!!
We'd like to dedicate this
column to the Class of 1972,
whose inspiration has given us
the ideas for it. Some of these
people include: Colin Pattin, Pat
Klugh, Len Thompson, Hary
Brotzman, and Marc Joseph-- a
fabulous Stud; Dave Stoltz,who
is still on campus, even though
he graduated; and particularly
Steve Wesley, who had a hand in
this thing last year.
You know the Three Stooges
are right here on Capitol
Campus. Yes, Sir— the Three
Stooges and one. That dude's
mother must have fed him a lot
of corn, 'cause he's real
CORNY!!! HA! HA! HA!
The "Loser of the Week"
Award goes to none other
than—Fred Manas. After losing
the SGA Election, he wasn't able
to keep his trap shut. Now, he's
speechless. Something that
hasn't occurred in years.
To our fabulous XGl's--
Keep boozin' it up-- you're
no fun when you're sober. And
speaking of the Frat--- the "klutz
of the year" award goes to Mr.
Stephen Wesley, who's in the
hospital with a broken ankle,

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

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
