Archbold Stadium before 12,000 rain-soaked fans.
A total of 31 aerials flew from the right arm of Custis, and al
though he completed 12 for 187 yards and two touchdowns, the Lion
ground attack crushed the home team’s hopes of an upset.
Not until the final quarter, when the Lions pushed across two

assured.
Wally Triplett kept the Nittany
scoring attack alive by setting up
the first Penn State score with a
45-yard run, and scoring the sec
ond by weaving 47 yards to the
end zone.
Smashing the Syracuse line for
a first down, Frannie Rogel car
ried the oval over the goal and
caught a Petchel pass for a second
score.
It took the Nittany Lions al
most eight minutes to manufac
ture their first touchdown. After
an exchange of punts that gave
Penn State the ball on its own
39-yard line, the Higginsmen be
gan to roll. Colone and Petchel
moved the ball to the 45.
Then Wally Triplett, making
use of his blockers at every step,
dodged and twisted his way
through the entire Syracuse team
to the 10-yard line, from where
Rogel plunged for the opening
marker. Carl Sturges’ placement,
for the extra point was blocked;
and the Lions led 6 to 0 at the
midway point of the first period.
Triplett Scores
After the Orange was unable to
move against the Nittany line,
Jim Dragotta punted to Penn
State on the 20. Luther returned
the ball to the 34 and two plays
later, Triplett scampered 47 yards
for the second *tally. Sturges con
verted to give the Blue and White
a 13 to 0 lead.
Syracuse roared back, and after
blocking Colone’s quick kick on
the 10, kept Penn State’s back to
the goal in the second quarter.
After missing on two passes, Cus
tis flipped a 42-yard scoring aerial
to Pete Kranack.
The Lions capitalized on an
Orange fumble to record their
third score. With one minute to
go Fred Felbaum recovered a
Syracuse fumble on the Orange
31 ar.d seven plays later Luther
flipped a “quickie” pass to Sam
Tamburo.
Custis Passes
Handling the ball on 13 out of
15 plays Custis passed for Syra
cuse’s final marker to Dragotta,
who leaped into the air to pull
the ball away from Larry Cooney
in the end zone. Rogel set up the
fourth Penn State touchdown
with a 20-yard run to the Syra
cuse 28 and Petchel crossed the
striped line for the score.
Petchel’s pass to Rogel two and
one-half minutes later racked up
the final Lion tally.
Carl Sturges converted four out
of five placements. The Lions re
corded 11 first downs to 10 for
the Orangemen and rolled up 337
yards on the ground to 35 for
Syracuse. Penn State completed
