Spotting the Lions . . .
Joe Cotone
In 1942 a modest, unheralded freshman courted fame by be
coming one of the standouts in Penn State’s upset of burly Penn.
Because of his stellar performances since 1942, he has continued
wooing the headlines and has not been divorced from football’s lime
light. But modesty is still an integral characteristic of Joseph James
Colone.
Asked how he felt when elected captain of the 1948 version of
the Nittany Lion grid team, Joe looked away and replied, “Do I
have to say.”
One incident concerning that eventful date in '42 remains in
Joe’s mind. The Lions were leading, 13-7, late in the fourth quarter,
the Penns filling the air with an aerial bombardment. Penn lined
up in a right formation. Playing one of the halfback positions, Col
one realized suddenly that an enemy pass-catcher was streaking
for the goal.
“The next thing I remembered was sitting on the bench,” he
explained. “I'd been replaced, but I felt lucky since the Penn player
had butter-fingered the pass.”
Colone's daily menu does not consist solely of football and
studies. An interview with the 205-pound
punting artist had to be sandwiched be
tween scrimmage and an all-College cabi
net meeting. Colone is president of the j
men’s athletic association and Parmi Nu.
senior men’s honorary. *w*^*iB|
Although the blond six-footer now jijftg
weighs 205 pounds, he hopes to shed 10 Wm
nounds. He was asked if he found it diffi- WSBmmgK
cult getting into peak physical condition \ V;
upon returning to the College after a tour
of duty with the army in the Pacific area.
"I’m still trying to get into shape.”
Before the 1948 season, the Washington Redskins of the National
Football League urged Colone to join play-for-pay ranks. Officials
of the club talked of contracts and other things monetary. But Joe
decided to complete school. If he does not coach after graduation,
he plans entering professional football.
Concerning the 1948 schedule, Joe disagrees with the “experts”
•vho know every score and every winner before the season starts.
“Every team will be hoping to snap our win streak; especially rough
'hould be the Penn, Michigan State, West Virginia and Pitt games.”
Colone points out that the 1948 team is faster than the 1947
mad wich went through the season unblemishsd and tied Southern
Methodist, 13-13, in the Cotton Bowl classic on New Year’s Day. He
’.so points out that, position for position, the Nittany Lion does not
ive as many experienced players.
Colone’s busy role this year is divided between fullback and
uarterback, relieving Chuck Drazenovich at the latter post. De
risively he backs up the line; offensively, besides plunging duties,
•’s called upon for a major share of the punting.
Yes. this year’s football campaign is full of action for Colone,
taming, in his senior year, Penn State’s gridiron titans of ’4B.
And six years after his striking freshman performance in ’42,
seph James Colone’s football opponents utter with relief, “Finally,
s his last season.”
