SAY, OCTOBER 29, 1947
Between The Lions
A great team played a great game, and the Warriors of Nit
tany maintained their unblemished record by triumphing over the
stubborn Kernmen from Morgantown.
The score didn't tell the story, for the Lions' play was deserving
of more than a seven-point margin. 365 yards by rushing to 46 is a
more conclusive story, and a truer one. Highly publicized by press
men, the Mountaineers' ground attack failed to function, as the
sturdy Penn State forward wall and backers-up repeatedly hurled
back the Morgantowners.
Brilliant in victory were Wally Triplett and Elwood Petchel, as
theadr If the assault, and Joe Drazenovich, whose sterling
performance in his role as middle man in the sec
ondary and one of the key men in offensive line
play. Joe tackled deadly and diagnosed very
clearly, and with Steve Suhey playing just ahead,
the center of the line was impenetrable.
Revealed to the Beaver Field crowd were
two Blue and White plays which seemed
somewhat unique. In the second quarter, the
Hig's version of the end-around failed inches
short of bringing a first down on the opposi
tion's fourteen. Pete Gorinski, who has de
veloped into an excellent fullback, received
Wolosky's snap back and as he darted forward,
passed the ball off to Johnny Nolan. Nolan
- wheeled and tossed the pigskin to Donnie
Hoggard, coming around from left end, who sprinted wide to '
the right, cut in along the sideline, and plunged forward as he
was pushOd out of bounds.
The last period substitution of Czekaj and Petchel, when the
Lion attack had stalled on the West Virginia eleven with fourth
down and six, occasioned bravos when the field goal attempt was
faked, and Elwood wheeled around and streaked to the three.
Petch's left knee had been raised off the ground, which made the
play legal.
Bushy-haired bead linesman Paul Templeton, a former
teammate of Mountaineer coach Bill Kern at Pitt, had a stormy
halftime discussion with the latter when Kern stopped off on
the way to the dressing room. Templeton was the official who
called an unnecessary roughness penalty on quarterback Tom
Keane, who rode Jeff Durkota hard into the ground. This inflic
tion brought the ball from the Mountaineer twelve to the one
from where Gorinski bulled over for the score.
Game captain Ed Kulakowski, who led the West Virginia hus
kies onto the field, fought desperately throughout the contest to
bring home a victory. It was Kulakoviski, from his tackle berth,
whose spirited leadership during both of the successful goal line
stands was responsible for holding down the Penn -
State score. Veteran center Leo Benjamin seemed
omnipresent throughout the fray, with his number
55 an all too familiar sign to the Higginsmen.
Fans will long remember the two successive
Petchel coffin-corner boots which angled out of
bounds on the two yard marker, and Francis
Rogel's phenomenal 35-yard run which was more
like a jitterbug act as the driving fullback miracu
lously kept his feet and crossed the goal, only to
have his six-pointer recalled due to a penalty.
Chuck Drazenovich, a sterling blocking back, gave
ground to no one, and Johnny Nolan was more
than a match for the hardy Mountaineers.
To tailback Bobby Williams goes a highly ap
proving nod, for rarely has Bobby run so well.
