State Rolls by Pitt
Penn State's Nittany Lions
on a successful note by beating
Lions' season record was thus
brought to six wins and four
losses.
Pam State was favored by one
touchdown over Pitt. a team that
had given top-ranked Notre Dame
its toughest game of the season
before bowing 17-15 to the Fight
ing Irish. Both Pitt and Penn
State were fired up for this ann
ual clash between the old arch
rivals. The day was a cold one:
ardent fans braved 18-degree
temperatures and 40-mile an hour
winds to root for their team.
Pitt started the game by kick
ing off to Penn State and before
they kenw it. State had scored
and led 7-0. Before the afternoon
wa s over, State had pushed
across three more tallies and the
final score read Penn State 28,
Pitt 0. Astounded fans began to
speculate about how Penn State
would have done had they played
the brand of ball witnessed in
their last three games. Surely a

First Pep Rally Shows
A Poor Attendance
On Wednesday, November 25,
1964 a pep rally was held in Erie

put much time and effort into the

Johnstown on Saturday.
But did the students of Behrend
Campus support this rally? NO!!!
A turnout of only fifty students
showed our Behrend Campus bas
ketball team. and Coach Sweeting
that all four hundred Behrend
Campus students are behind them.
Coach Sweeting expressed his
disappointment concerning the
closed their 1964 football season
Pitt 28-0 Saturday, Nov. 21. The
ceivable and possibly number one
ranking in the country.

both clubs, who are Pennsylvania
Junior College League rivals.

LIONS END WITH
6 AND 4 SEASON
The Nittany Lions football team,
which started the season poorly
but finished it with a rush, voted
to reject any bid to a post•-season
bowl game, if one should be offer
ed.
Penn State had been named
earlier by a Gator Bowl Commit
tee in Florida, as one of four teams
under consideration as Florida
State's opponent in the Gator
I 'Bowl.
The Lions finished the season
with a 6-4 record, their 26th
straight winning sea - son, after los
ing their first three games. They
won their last five, including a
27-0 upset over previously unbeat
en Ohio State and a 28-0 blasting
of Pitt.
Because of this great showing
at the end of the season, State
was declared winner of the Lam
bert Trophy. This trophy, sym
bolic of Eastern football suprema
cy, has been awarded three times
previously to Penn State—in 1947,.

team regained control of the

Rumsey with 19. Casane had 15
and Hoffman sank 14 to round
