The Hurricanes drove 82 yards with the opening kickoff and tallied a field goal. They went ahead 10-0 after recover- _ ing a freak wind-blown kickoff on the Penn State 28 yard line. Behind 13-10 at the half, Penn State was held scoreless for the remainder of the game. The Lions went into the game confident that their NCAA- record 40-year streak of winn- ing seasons would be extended. The last time Penn State lost more games than it won was 1938 (3-4-1). Two Nittany Lion tailbacks, All-American Booker Moore and freshman Dave Paffenroth, were sidelined for the game by Coach Joe Paterno following separate arrests on criminal charges earlier last week. Moore was charged with driv- ing while under the influence of alcohol by campus police and Paffenroth was arrested for assault after he allegedly pun- ched and broke the nose of another student.

The Lions lost to Ogontz Campus last year in the championship game. Delco will face Ogontz against this year in the playoff Saturday. “I expected to see Ogontz in the championship,” Coach Ron + Case said. ‘'I spoke with the coach and he said his team is eager to - play us again.’ Delco defeated Ogontz 5- 3 during the regular season. ‘The team that passes better will win,” Case predicted. Delco defeated Mont Alto Campus, 2-1, assuring a spot in the ti- tle match. The victory stretched the team’s winning streak to six games, including recent victories over Swarthmorg] College and Berks Campus. The Mont Alto game was an all-or-nothing situation. Delco went into the game in a three-way tie for first place with Ogontz and Mont Alto. A loss would gave given the Lions a third-place finish. The team scored early with a perfectly-executed corner kick from | ' Dave Phillips to Tibor Lehotay. The next ten excitement-packed minutes saw each team miss excellent chances to score. Lehotay scored his second goal of the game (16 for the season) late i in the first half to give the Lions a 2-0 halftime lead. * But, Coach Ron Case did not feel comfortable with the two-goal lead. “Mont Alto is an explosive and high-scoring team. There was no need to be brimming with confidence at that point,” he said. The Delco defense held on until Mont Alto scored its only goal with a few minutes remaining. In earlier action, Delco trounced Berks Campus 4- 1. wl was a 2 game we had to win,’ Case commented. ‘The team played well : “despite the larger field at Berks.” back: Jim Kelly, passed for.* ~ Delco scored two goals in each half. Tibor Lehotay tallied twice while Dennis St. Germain and Mark Gray added one goal apiece. Berks scored its lone goal late in the game, long after the matter In another game, Delco beat Swarthmore College 20. The two teams met one month ago and Swarthmore dominated. This time Delco outshot Swarthmore 17-6. Swarthmore was shut out despite the fact that halfback Dave Gunther was forced to play goalie (Steve Grab was unable to play and back-up Dave Mitchell i is out for the seaon with a knee injury). » the sport shoe center LTH > INS sporting g _BillE 00ds ront & jackson sts. media po. MAKE IT HAPPEN! join the PEPPERMINT CLUB = Peppermint Schnapps It's the very best Charles Jacquin et Cie.. Inc. Phila.. Pa. 60 Proof SBE aN —Bill Quinn Penn State- Pitt Game Changed for TV (Reprinted by permission from the Daily Collegian, University Park) The date for the University of Pittsburgh-Penn State football game has been changed from ‘Nov. 24 to Dec. 1 so the game can be televised nationally by ABC. ABC on Oct. 25 formally ask- ed Penn State officials to change the date of the game, and coach Joe Paterno and the athletic department ad- ministration agreed, said Jim Tarman, associate athletic director. Don Bernstein, the National Collegiate Athletic Association director for ABC Sports, said network officials met the night of Oct. 24 and decided to ask Penn State to change the game. The Pitt-Penn State game has been televised nationally on ABC since 1974. However, this year, ABC plans to televise the second-ranked Nebraska versus seventh-ranked Oklahoma game on Nov. 24. In order to televise the Pitt-Penn State game, it had to be changed to either Nov. 23 or Dec. 1. “We did ask for a Friday game (Nov. 23), but Joe Paterno turned it down,” Bernstein said. Paterno turned down the Fri- day game because there would not be enough preparation time between the Nov. 17 Temple . game and the Pitt game, Berns- ; ' tein said. ~The two schools will split the i $533, 000 the network pays for a ‘nationally televised game. Penn State made $200,000 last month when the Nebraska. game was televised regionally. Pitt's early season loss and Penn State's two losses were considered by ABC before mak- ing the decision to televise the game nationally. “When we charge $85,000 per commercial minute, we want to make sure we get quality,” Bernstein said. ‘But we've car- ried it since 1974, and it has been a damn good game.” ABC and Penn State are in contact throughout the season, Tarman said. Network officials talked briefly with Penn State officials about televising the game before the start of the season, Bernstein said. He said the school and network began discussing the game again after the season began. “We talked about Dec. 1 in some private dialogues, but we wanted to wait until we got into the season to make a decision,” Bernstein said. “We've known this (national television) was a possibility for a long time,” Tarman said. “They have asked Oklahoma and Nebraska to move their game, but one of them wouldn't. “We weren't exactly in the driver's seat, having lost two games.’ Pitt was not opposed to changing the date of the game, - said Kimball Smith, Pitt's assistant sports information director. Because the game is scheduled to be played at Penn State, Pitt was not involved in _ the negotiations until the final decision was made, Smith said. There were rumors at Pitt that ABC wanted the game moved to Philadelphia’s Veteran's Stadium, Smith said. Both Bernstein and Tarman said there was never any talk of moving the game. If ABC had wanted to move the game, Tar- man and Paterno both said the game would not be moved. The game would not be mov- ed because neither Veteran's Stadium (66,005) nor Pitt- sburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium (560,350) has the seating capaci- ty Beaver Stadium has, Tar- man said. He said it was just as important for the students, fans and people in State College to keep the game on campus. The changed date will not af- fect either team’s bowl bids, Tarman said. The bowl bids will come out Nov. 17, the day of the Temple game. “The bowls don’t wait,”” Tar- man said, so Penn State will know if it is invited to a bowl before Nov. 24, the original date of the Pitt game. If the game were not televis- ed, it would not have a substan- tial effect on the athletic budget, Tarman said. “We never assume we are go- ing to have televised games or bowl games when we do our budget,” Tarman said. ‘But losing that money could make it difficult to break even.” Penn State is 4-1 in national television appearances against Pitt. Pitt's only win, 24-7, was in 1976. Last year Penn State defeated Pitt 17-10 at Beaver Stadium. In Paterno’s 14 years at Penn State, the Lions have appeared on television 35 times. They are 23-11-1 on television, 14-7-1 in nationally televised games. —Harry Glenn Daily Collegian Staff Writer HATS OFF! Delco Soccer Congratulations LION'S EYE to the 1979 ‘Team from the
