Tuesday, November 18, 1984 Blue and PANTHER YEARLINGS PROVE TOO HEAVY FOR NITTANY CUBS University Gridders Score in Opening, Last Periods By HARRY HENDERSON Tasting its first defeat of the year, the freshman football team was beat en on New Beaver field Saturday by the Pitt plebes, 13-to-0. Pitt, de feated by Kiski prep last week, was much heavier and a better balanced team than the Nittany cubs. Pitt had a much more experienced team and its line was the strongest by far that the State freshmen have or will have .to meet. Their linemen charged forward deep into the Blue and White line and were often suc cssful in breaking up State plays be fore they got under way. However, the game wasn’t all Pitt by any means, for the Lions threat ened the Pitt goal once in every quarter. "Rabbit” Wear, the Lion quarter, showed exceptional skill in handling his eleven, and did the pass ing for the Lions, which netted more ground for them than rushing did. Lead by Bill Stapulis, left half back, the Pitt yearlings marched down the field late in the first quar ter to gain their first touchdown. Stapulis, a smooth ball-toter, showed the crowd of 2,000 a change of pace that would fool the best of safety and secondary defense men. Time and again he would twist and side-step his way deep into State’s territory. However, it was the big Pitt Irish .fullback, Patrick, that plunged over the goal for the first Panther tally. Sanchak, Pitt's left end and acting captain, failed to convert the extra point on Patrick’s touchdown, the ball going wide. It was often an exchange of punts which gave the visitors the boll in midfield, that the Panther’s drove down to State's three-yard line from where Patrick plunged over, i Pitt’s' second touchdown was scored halfway through the fourth quarter - when Sanchak, Pitt’s left end, re ceived a twenty-yard pass from Billy , Stapulis, Panther left halfback, on State’s seventeen-yard line and ran the remaining distance. This time , Sanchak converted the extra point ' with a placement. 1 Sanchak, Pitt’s captain, played bril liant ball through the entire gamej and was, with the exception of Billy Stapulis, of Pitt, and “Rabbit” Wear, Lion quarter, the most brilliant play er on the field. Economos and Ko miniclc were also outstanding Lion men. The officials of the game, Messrs. Antrim, Edwards, and Roth, were inefficient in handling'the game, and several times the game- got so far r hite Freshman Football Team Defeated by Pitt Plebes, 13-0 Lion Boaters Held to 1-1 Tie By Strong Springfield Team By WALT FREUNSCH standings present themselves when one considers that Cornell will meet Hayerford later this month in what will probably be a stinging setback for the sons of Ezra. The game was marred for the Nit tany players by the injury of “Wee Willie” Sutliff, who received a wrenched back, and by the aggrava tion of McEwan's injury, in a spill which forced his removal- near the end of the fourth period. With their hopes for another cham pionship virtually annihilated. Lion soccermen found consolation in the knowledge that they had out-played Springfield at every turn, even though held to a 1-to-l tie, in the tussle on the South Field pitch at Springfield Saturday. Spectators and the Massachusetts opponents alike were heard to remark that the home club was lucky to gain the tie, which broke State’s string of four consecutive victories and Springfield’s record of seven succes sive triumphs. Springfield scored in the first thir ty seconds on a rush that swept from the center line to the goal so, rapidly that the Lions had no chance to get set. Fallek, star center forward for the New Englanders, caged the ball. Five minutes later, Bill McEwan, hampered with a bad knee, scored the only other tally of the day when he converted a pass from Joe Bie •licki into a pointer from in close. Three later scoring opportunities for State were lost in rapid succes sion when "Mac,” lacking his usual control because of his injured knee, sent "set-up” shots directly into the goalie’s hands. For the Jeffreymen, Captain Jack Fletcher, Bob Graham, and Bill Sut liff starred in the backfield, while Bielicki and .Frank Osterlund excel led up front. “He gave away absolutely nothing,” mourned Coach Bill Jeffrey, in com menting on the play of Hughes, the Springfield net tender. Captain Rob ertson and Fallek were the other lum inaries for Coach Brock. The game, which went into two five-minute overtime periods, was wit nessed by a crowd of nearly 2,000, the lai’gest to witness any contest in which the Lions have played thus far this' season. Cornell, with its four consecutive league triumphs, now stands forth as the loop leader, although all sorts of engaging possibilities for final out of their control that fights be tween the players had to be stopped.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN HARRIERS PREPARE FOR IC-4A CLASSIC Downey’s Return Strengthens Team; 23 Colleges Enter Monday’s Contest With the freshmen closing their dual season yesterday against Pitt, and the varsity having been finished since a week ago Saturday, all em phasis for the next week will- be placed, on hard practices in prepara tion for the IC-1A meet at Van Cort landt Park, New York City, on Mon day. The return of Downey, last year’s yearling star, who was .running in fourth place until forced out of com petition in mid-season, will improve the team’s chances of a' victory by giving them five men who should run pretty well together. The team, examination of the rec ords show, has. been running in two I groups. Except for the opening Le high reset, when the whole State team came in first, the grouping has been Harvey and Book out in. front, and the other three together from about sixth to eighth place. In last week’s Syracuse meet, how ever, with Downey out, Harvey and Book finished first as usual, Alexan der and Dctwiler came,in together, but the fifth place man, was three places after them. Against first-class competition, which is understating that which they will meet-in the ‘big city,’ this is disastrous, because five men must finish before the team’s score is closed. So, with Downey back, that all-im portant trio will be - materially strengthened. That the j group is evenly balanced is evidenced by the fact that at the first of the season the finishing order was Dctwiler, Downey, and Alexander,- while in the latest meet, against Syracuse, the vet eran Alexander finished -just ahead of Dctwiler. Which at least adds up to competition, which, in turn, often adds up to accomplishment. Penn State’s outside competition in the twenty-sixth annual harrier clas sic will be furnished by -exactly 239 runners representing 22 colleges. This year’s entry list of colleges * equals the all-time high set in;,pre-depres sion 1929. -Michigan State, defend ing titleholder by virtue of an upset over the highly favored Manhattan squad last year, is favored.to repeat. With Tom Ottey, individual winner, still in their ranks and .only their second-place man, Otto ..jPangrace, .missing from-last year’s .team, the reason is not far to seek. - But as for me, I’d rather spend' my time and money on Manhattan, second, place in the varsity and first place in the freshman runs last year, whose star, Captain Russell, finished the six-mile course in 32:27 Saturdayto lead his team to an almost perfect score of sixteen in winning the metropolitan championship. Other leading contenders for the individual title will be Ed Veysey of Colby, Gene Venzke of Penn, Morton Jenkins of M. I.

College Ave. Philly Sports Scribe Rztes Sigel as Best Ball Carrier By BILL M “Penn State should have had two touchdowns ... a game of wasted opportunities . . . hard fought but the cleanest game I’ve seen on Franklin Field this year . . . great battle be tween the two lines ... good thing for both schools.” Perry Lewis, sports writer for the Philadelphia “Inquirer,” who covered the Penn State-Penn game Saturday, took time from punching out his col umn, “The Old Sport’s Musings,” alone • in the sports department offi ces late Sunday afternoon to tell his impression of the fray. He is a tall, lean veteran of sports writing with alert blue eyes and a plentiful supply of silvery gray hair, and is a former basketball star. His thin lips curve upward as he smiles and talks, but downward when he smokes a cigarette. He took two pices of yellow paper, upon which he had charted the game by quarters in the press.box, from his drawer, and laid them on his desk, side by side. He had dictated the game to a telegraph operator, while he kept a play-by-play account. “Twice State was within easy scor ing distance of the Penn goal,” he said pointing to the pencil lines indicating that the Lions were on Penn’s thir teen-yard line in the second quarter and on the Red and Blue’s 16-yard stripe in the fourth quarter. “Murray was lucky enough to make his place-kick from State’s 22-yard line'to score, but everyone of the sev eral times State got the ball almost to Penn’s goal line they lacked the punch to put it over. They could have tried a place-kick as a last resort in those final minutes of the fourth quar ter to tie the score, particularly since Penn was leading by only three points,” he explained. Asked what significance he placed in the fact that in every item of the game summary, except forward pass ing, Penn State topped Penn, the sports expert suggested that Mike lonis did' not take time to aim the ball and allow his receiver time to cover the ground 5n his anxiety to throw, as an explanation, of why Rutgers, and Allen Minor of Yale. They all finished.in the first ten last year. Harvey finished in sixteenth place last year; second-place Book in forty-eighth; and the fifth.place man in eighty-third position. Sixteen colleges, have, named, 170 athletes for the fifteenth yearling test. Manhattan, winner for the last few years, is being favored by met ropolitan writers, although lack of in formation keeps most of them from making definite predictions. With Downey eleventh, and the fifth place man finishing thirty-seventh last year, State’s yearlings, with 100 points took a second place to Manhattan. This year’s first-year team will do better than that. IcDOWELL Penn completed three passes out of eight and State only two out of 12. “An example of the advantage of waiting until the last possible moment is shown here in the second quarter when Murray, at quarterback, threw to Elverson.” He pointed out the place on the chart with a bright orange copy pencil which was behind his ear. “Murray waited until your boys were upon him and had almost touched him before he passed to Elverson, who made a nice gain.” He complimented Lion playing in general and open field running in par ticular. Because of his classy work at running back punts and kickoffs, Lewis considers Sigel the outstanding State player. “I understand you rate Silvano very highly up there,” he continued. “He isn’t as good a ball carrier as Sigel, but is a better blocker. Also notable was Silvano’s hammering of the Penn line in the second quarter. He car ried the ball six consecutive times for a total of 26 yards. And that’s real football!” By this time other sports writers had come in and were either at their desks or at the semi-circular sports copy desk editing or headlining stor ies. Telephones had begun to ring. It was black outside at six o’clock. “When you get back to school give my best to Bob Higgins,” the Old Sport said, as he turned again to his column for the Bulldog edition at 7:15. 2 Seniors, 13 Juniors Aid Local High School Fifteen students are assisting physical education teachers at the lo cal high school.

Holding practices three nights a week, he is teaching the court aspirants basketball fun damentals, almost treating them as if they had never seen the game played before. With the opening - contest still a month away, and football almost two weeks yet to go, Coach Leslie has plenty of time to drill on these fun damentals. About thirty candidates have been working out regularly in these practices. “Spike” has been concentrating on developing accuracy in foul shooting, pivoting, dribbling, passing, and field shots. By spending an extra amount of time on these fundamentals, he believes he will have a squad in mid season form by December 14, when the Lions open here with Ithaca Col lege. Captain Johnny Stocker is return ing this week from his practice teach ing, and will soon be working out with the squad. lie and Jack Fletch er are the only lettermen back this year, and the latter is graduating in February.
