Lions Remain Untested As . ...
Iligginsmen Score In Every
Period to Squash Bisons 54-0
Taking the opening kickoff and streaking straight
,down the
middle of the field for 95 yards, Larry Joe scored the first touchdown
of the 54-0 rout by the Nittany Lions over Bucknell Saturday before
a crowd of 14,000.
Piling up 20 points in the first five minutes of play, the Lions
repeated the all-time high score
ever to be made by either team
during the long series. The first
game between the two schools
was played in 1887 and ended in a
H-0 victory for Penn State.
Coach Bob Higgins, whose
power-laden team is rated a defi
nite threat for eastern football
supremacy, cleared his bench as
40 players had a hand in the tri-
Wn_ph over the outclassed Bisons.
Following blocking back Chuck
Drazenovich's recovery of a
blocked punt soon after Joe's
score, Larry carried the ball for
a five-yard gain, and Wally Trip
lett on a reverse around end went
for five more and a first down. On
the same play Triplett again took
the ball and went into the end
zone for the second score. Cze
kers conversion was good.
Trying to gain on the ground
and getting no place, the Bisons
tried the air. A pass by Seaman
was intercepted on the 34 by co
captain and tackle Johnny Nolan
who raced to pay dirt.
In the second period the Nittany
Lions took to the air with Elwood
Petchel completing three out of
five aerials. One pass of 42 yards
was snatched by Dennis Hoggard
on the nine from where he raced
over for six points. The conver
sion was good,
The versatile little Petchel is
fast becoming one of the best
passers in the East. He completed
four out of four during the Wash
ington State game.
Sustaining a 68-yard drive early
in the third quarter with Joe,
Triplett and Colone smashing
through for five and ten yards
each time, the fifth touchdown
was carried over from the seven
by Joe.
Fullback Bob Weitzel banged
his way through the middle of
the line and with three Bucknell
players hanging on, fell across the
goal-line for his first touchdown
of the year. Czekaj's kick was
good.
In the fourth quarter. the Lions
rolled down to the Bucknell 14
with Clarence Hummel carrying
the ball behind beautiful inter
ference. Gorinski carried through
the middle to the five from where
Hummel wont into the end zone
standing up.
The play was called back, how
ever, Penn State in motion. Put
ting the ball in play again on the
ten-yard line, Hummel on the
same play scored. Czekaj booted
good.
The last score was made when
wingback Jeff Durkota intercept
ed a Bucknell pass on the 14 and
went over without a man near
him. Ed Czekaj kicked his sixth
successful extra point in his
eighth attempt.
