    Nittany Lions
Bounce Back!
The Penn State Nittany
Lions are considered to be, by
most polls, the most powerful
team in the East. Critics say that
their lack of precedence at the
No. 1 spot in College Football
has been their failure over the
last few years to win the really
big ones. Case and point; the
Volunteers of Tenesse. Last year
they were beaten by them on
the final day of the season. That
loss sent them hurdling out of
the top ten. This year, with a
chance to revenge that loss, they
were fried to a crisp that only
Colonel Saunders could
appreciate. This loss, I am afraid,
will prevent them from any
major Bowl bid.
The Lions played valiantly
led by a revamped running
backfield. Due to the injury of
Tom Donchez, John Cappelletti,
a junior, has taken most of the
responsibility with a few others
alternating at fullback. The
' defense is led by three possible
All-American nominees Bruce
Bannon at Right End, Jim
Skorupan at Left Outside
Limebacker, and Greg Ducatte
at Safety. They are all seniors.
After that loss they
bounced back and have won
four in a row. But they do not
have the awesome powere that
they have had in previous years
when names like Reid, Kwalick,
SOCCER
At this writing, the campus
soccer team is 1-3, but they have
been playing better than their
record indicates. They lost just
recently to an overpowering
Ogontz team in a close 2-1
decision. Prior to that, they lost
to King's College 5-3 and
defeated a surprising Schuykill
team 2-1. On October 4, they
dropped the'- opener to Lehigh
Community College 5-2. They
have played spirited ball led by
such legendary names as Steve
Wilson, Bill Hewins, and Bill
Crompton. According to Coach
Biggers, the team is the best he
has had in his three-year
coaching career. The one thing
they lack is support. If more
than a dozen people showed up
at a game they would be all that
more 'up' for it. If you have
time, come on out.

and Onkontz were in the lineup.
They just barely squeaked by
Navy and lowa. Last year they
destroyed lowa 44-14. Their last
two games have been against
Illinois and Army and although
they won substantially, it still
does not erase the memory of
that setback at Knoxville. That
is too bad because I was looking
forward to that night in Miami
when Penn State plays in the
Orange Bowl. I hope it happens
before I graduate.

CLOTHE YOUR MIND
Your getting tired of
stagnant trips
So tired of dressin' your
body alone
You wanna dress to
suit your mind
So clothe your mind and
bring it all home
Bag some jeans
some new blue jeans
Both hanging hip
or on ine waist
Or make it wail
with corduroy
You 71 find a kind
to suit your taste.!!
