Pittman Busts Records
University Park, Pa., Nov. —A
huge ice pack protected the
bruise on Charlie Pittman's right
hand as the wideeyed youngsters
approached him for au auto
graph, too awestruck to even ask.
"What's your name, son," Char
lie asked as he took the pencil
with his left hand and lodged it
between the tips of two fingers
and the edge of the elastic band
age that held the ice pack firm
ly in place.
And as he scrawled his name
across the sheet of torn yellow
gaper, the youngster's eyes lit UP
as if he had just received the
greatest gift in all the world.
"You know," said Charlie to a
reporter at his side, "there comes
a time in everybody's life when
he has to give up something. I've
bad two great years and if it's
my turn now to help the other
guys like Lydell (halfback Lydell
Mitchell) or Franco (fullback
Franco Harris) then that's what l
I want to do. It's great to be
Compared with the great backs of
the country, don't get me wrong.
But if I can help the team some
other way, then that's more im
portant."
The scene was the Penn State
dressing room after the Boston
College game. Talking was the
man who two years 'ago as a
sophomore gained almost 600
cards in rushing and one year
later set a Penn State record with
.14 touchdowns in one season.
But until then, this year has
been different for Charlie Pitt
man, different because of injur
ies, different because every team
that has played Penn State, loads
up on him.
"It bothered me a little at Charlie Pittman scored 18 points,
first," said Charlie. "Statistically to break Penn State's all-time
I wasn't doing as well as I scoring record.

thought I should and I kept ask
ing myself 'What wrong with
Charlie?' But then I began rea
lizing it wasn't going to help
anybody if I started setting down
on myself. I took a look at some
of the films and realized it was
still the same old Charlie out
there running. My style was still
the same. And so, I decided if
teams were going to key on me,
I'd use it to Penn State's advant
age."
"Beautiful game, Charlie,"
shouted a teammate racing over
to slap him on the sack. "Beau
tiful game."
Once again Charlie's thoughts
trickled back to football.
had to tell myself that I can
be just as important, maybe even
more so, to Penn State as a team
leader," he thought out loud. "If
the other guys on the team see
me getting down, then they get
down too. What good is that? So
I went out there and decided to
really run, run the best I know
how. And if things didn't - go
right I'd stick in there anyway.
I'm back now, and that's what
counts."
"Back" may be the 'understate-
ment of the year. Against Bos
ton. College he gained 102 yards
in rushing and set a new Penn
State career record for carries
from scrimmage. Against Mary
land and Pittsburgh and North
Carolina he scored eight touch
downs to set a new record for
touchdowns in a career at 31.
And two of his last three games
he's- gained over 100 yards in
rushing.
In addition, after that last
game against North Carolina,
