Gridders Smother Fordham

Nittany Lions through a light
workout yesterday afternoon in
preparation for Saturday's
Homecoming game with Syra

of last Saturday's 75-0 stampede
over the Fordham Rams still
fresh in mind.
The Polo Grounds track meet
was never anything but a run
away from the opening whistle as
all 40 of the Lion squad members
saw a ctio n. The Higginsmen
scored at will against a hope

Leading the scoring parade was,
wingback Jeff Durk o t a who
crossed the Ram goal four times.
Three of Durkota's touchdowns

period when the Lions hit the
scoreboard for 40 points.

the game at wingback, contrib

single markers were chalked up
by Joe Colone, Elwood Petchel,
Clarence Gorinski, and Francis

"The team really outdid them

years as a Penn State coach, I've
never seen a team go all out like
this team did in the first race of
the season. Although the score
indicates that the race was an easy
one," he added, "the N.Y.U. meet
will probably be one of the
toughest that we'll have all year."

Between The Lions
Prior to last Saturday's runaway, Fordham's worst defeat was
in 1910, when Princeton dropped the Rams 69-0. The Lions took the
runner-up record last year when they smashed through the New
Yorkers' first post-war team by a 68-0 count.
The Rams failed to gain against any of the lines Bob Higgins
threw in. Only two first downs were recorded by the Rose Hill boys
and both of these were on passes.
Every Lion on the forty-man traveling squad saw duty with the
reserves playing the largest part of the game.
The time-keepc.r took pity on the hapless Rams in the third and
oui th periods and kept the clock spinning regardless of what was
happening on the field. A New York writer quipped in his story that
"The Polo Grounds uses a Longines clock which after today is no
longer the `world's most honored timepiece'."
The game received third-rate billing from the sportswriters who
were more interested in the Army-Illinois game at Yankee Stadium
and the Columbia-Yale game at Baker Field. Ergo, the boys who pick
the top teams didn't see the romp.
Larry Joe carried the ball only
five times in his short interlude
in the game. The speedy back
missed the first touchdown when
he was forced out-of-bounds on
the one-yard line on an end run
from the 11
Co-captain Johnny Potsklan
gave the Lions their first safety of
the season and just missed scor
ing a touchdown when he blocked
a Ram punt on the 3-yard line
and downed it out-of-bounds be
hind the goal for an automatic
two points.
Wing back Jeff Durkota seem
ed to do everything right as he
carried the ball five times and
scored a quartet of six-pointers.
Twice Jeff gathered in touchdown
passes and twice he skirted
around end for paydirt.
The day's outstanding play hap
pened in the 40-point second quar
ter when Bill Luther tossed a
short pass over the line of scrim
mage to end Dennie Hoggard.
Dennie handed the ball to Wally
Triplett just before a host of Rams
smothered him, and Wally out
raced the Fordham backfield for
38 yards and another touchdown.
Gorinski, Cominsky, Triplett,
Rogel and Luther took turns car
rying the ball for the Lions in the
abreviated second half.
A final word must be said about
the Lion lines that both blocked
and tackled very well all through
the game and opened those holes
for the eleven touchdowns.
