Lions'
West
Power Trips
Virginia 21-14
The Nittany Lions, settling down to daily practice sessions,
breathed more easily today after Saturday's mauling battle against
the West Virginia Mountaineers.
In a game undoubtedly one of the best in the country, a crowd
of 22,000, quickly inflamed by the raging play, was left limp with ex
citement as they saw the favored Nittany Lions come from behind to
overthrow an undefeated Mountaineer team 21-14,
This crowd of eager fans equaled the New Beaver Field record
set in 1923 when Navy played
here
The •Lions' power was evi
denced by the statistics. The Blue
and White piled up 365 yards
rushing to West Virginian's 46.
Francis Rogel, Penn State's new
est firebrand fullback, picked off
116 of those 365, two and one
half times the amount gained by
the whole Mountaineer team.
With a 14-14 deadlock midway
in the third period, little Elwood
Petchel's 28-yard pass to Wally
Triplett put the Lions out in
front to clinch the game.
Starting from their own 36, the
Penn Staters sustained a 64-yard
drive to score in nine plays and
six minutes after the opening
whistle. With off-tackle slants
and center plunges, it was
Mercury-footed Larry Joe and
Sophomore Francis Rogel behind
a hard-charging line who bore
the brunt of the Lions first
attack.
After Ed Czekaj kicked the
seventh point, the crowd settled
back to see what seemed like just
another routine assignment for
the 1-ligginsmen.
MOUNTAINEERS SCORE
Two interference penalties put
the Mountaineers on the Lion two.
From there it was an easy matter
for fullback Pete Zinaich to skirt
the end fOr the score. Hoffman
tied the game up at 7-7 with his
placement.
Kulakowski set up West Vir
ginia's second touchdown by par
tially blocking Joe Colone's punt
which went out of bounds on the
Lion 21.
After two passes and a run
ning play had failed, Russ Combs
arched a high wobbly pass to
end Bernard Huntz, who caught
KDR Topples DU in Upset Football Win
A band of game gridmen 'from Kappa Delta Rho uncorked the
season's top upset Thursday night when they defeate: Delta Upsilon,
1-0, to blast the losers' hope of retaining the intramural touch football
title which they copped last year.
In Friday night's contests, Hot Rocks triumphed, 6-0, over the
Frazier Eagles to remain unbeaten in independent competition. The
Bulldogs required an overtime
period to eliminate Penn Haven
from the tourney, 1-0. Their
final play was a pass, from Pat
Patterson to Bob Calahan, which
iced the victory.
Paul "Pudge" Tomkins hurled
three touchdown passes to lead
Delta Chi to a 20-12 win over
Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the high
est scoring tilt to date. With five
minutes to play, Tompkins un
leashed a 20-yard aerial to Don
Redman to notch the Delta Chi's
last score and advance them to
the quarter-final round.

The second meet scheduled for
Friday was awarded to Lambda

Starring Brothers

are standouts on the soccer team.

man came out again and added
the extra point.
Late in the first period, starting
from their 19, the Lion grid ma
chine began to move ahead again,
and the beginning of
. the second
qUarter saw the Lions crossing
the midfield stripe.
The Mountaineer line held on
the 30 and it was then that Pet
chel set up the play for the tying
touchdown. Petch twice on fourth
down punted out of bounds on the
West Virginia one yard line.
Taking Keane's second kick on
the 38, Petchel went to the 24 be
fore he was stopped. The Lions
then put on the pressure, and
with the help of an unnecessary
rouhness penalty, went to the one
where Gorinski plunged for the
score. Czekaj's kick tied it up, and
the Penn State rooters breathed
a sigh of relief as the half ended.
The winning touchdown came
late in the third period, when
Petchel, with third down and
eight to go, shot a bullet pass
from the 47 straight down the
middle to Wally Triplett on the
26, who ran unescorted to the
end zone.
Penn State trails the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania by one

THE DAILI COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Collegian salutes Wally Triplett,
fleet Lion wingback, as Player of
the Week. It was Wally who
caught the 28-yard touchdown
pass that again put Penn State in
the win column. His shifty run
ning and determined defensive
play were instrumental in the
Blt.te and White's fifth straight
triumph.
Navy Edges Jeffreymen 2-1
With Fourth Quarter Score
A scintillating last period head shot by outside right Danny
Masias gave Navy a 2-1 victory over Bill Jeffrey's soccermen Satur
day. The Middy triumph, their fifth straight, ended the Lions' win
streak at three games.
Midshipman Lee Bendel', leading the Navy attack during the
first period, drew first blood five minutes after the opening whistle

first score,
• Smarting under the sting of
she quick Navy tally, the Lion
offense roared back during the
second period behind crisp pass

Fred Kretzer. However, the stif

blue and white thrusts.
KRETZER SCORES
Captain Dean Hartman set up
Penn State's only marker of the
afternoon when, midway in the
third stanza, he lofted a long boot
to inside left Bill Shellenberger
who shot a brisk head pass to
Fred Kretzer several feet in
front of the Middy net.
Kretzer, surrounded by Mid
shipmen on every side, attempt

luckless Navy man inadvertently

Harriers Sweep Cornell 15-40
In Fastest Time of Season
Twenty-three harriers started at the opening gun of the Penn
State-Cornell cross-country meet Saturday on the College course in
an eff€,rt to break the Record set in 1938, but even though the Lions
took a perfect 15-40 win, the record of 25:24 still stood. Karver and
Ashenfelter fought for the lead for four miles of the five-mile race,
but when they saw that the record couldn't be broken, they ran the
last mile together.
"Each man on the team ran the best race of his life," commented
Coach Chick Werner. "This wasi a long time, Norm Gordon, as
the first time that Karver or Ash sistant coach, remarked, "Smith

deep into Lion territory to tally
the winning goal during the final
period.
With eigit minutes remaining,

Jayvee Gridders
Lose to Middies
Sporting their new "T" forma
tion, Penn State's Jayvees tackled
Navy's Junior Varsity Friday and
returned home smarting from a
19-0 setback administered by the
Middies.
Navy sewed up the decision
early by scoring twice in the
first quarter and then added a
third TD in the final period. Al
though they were held scoreless,
the Nittany gridders threatened
several times, mainly through an
effective passing attack.
Right End ' Dan Kline, from
Progress, played an excellent
game defensively for the Little
Lions and also starred on the re
ceiving end of several Blue and
White passes. He snagged a long
aerial on Navy's 24 late in the
game and advanced six yards be
fore being stopped.
