Between
lions
By Tom Morgan
What's This!
We raised our eyebrows in
amazement yesterday over a
news service piece that we as
sume was broadcast throughout
these United States m hundreds
of newspapers. We take the lib
erty of quoting from it:
Penn Slate was "tied 14-14.
by a rugged Michigan Stale
team which outplayed them
throughout."
How can this be, when the
Lions: a) outshone the visitors in
every statistical department in
the first half, b) chalked up a
total of 165 yards via rushing, as
compared to Michigan State’s
139. c) completed more passes,
d) intercepted more passes.
A case could be made for
Michigan State too. What we're
driving at is that the game was
even-Stephen. We think Ridge
Riley hit the nail squarely
when he wrote to Lion alumni
after the game: 'Tor 60 min
utes they had battled to a no
decision tie and the score just
about represents the difference
between these two fine teams."
About Neck Strain
Since we were about as high
above the ground as one could
get for the Lion-Spartan gridiron
clash (atop the press box) and
still be referred to as a Beaver
Field spectator, we can’t protest
about not seeing the game.
However, we expected—and
receive d—complaints from
many quarters about the over
flow crowd.
Many faculty members and
students who sat in the first
couple rows question the prac
tice of placing fans along the
sidelines. Unless they possessed
the gangling characteristics of
a basketball center, these first
and second- row spectators
strained their necks to see
twenty-two football helmets
moving back and forth above
the sideline crowd.

Jayvees Bow to Middies,
Battle Lock Haven Saturday
Penn State’s Jayvee grid forces almost caused a few thousand
Midshipman hearts to stop beating before succumbing to a strong
Navy team 35-26 last Friday at Annapolis.
The Jayvees will supply the New Beaver Field entertainment
this Saturday when they take on the Lock Haven freshmen at
2:30 p.m.
The lead in the Navy tilt changed hands three times before the
Middies took command in the
fourth quarter and drove to vic
tory.
The sailors drew first blood on
ly to see the Lions take the iaad
20-14, with a three-touchdown
surge in the second period. With
seconds remaining to play in the
half. Navymen scored and kicked
the point which enabled them to
leave the field at the midway
mark with a 21-20 advantage.
The third quarter saw the Ad

Lions' Junior Soccer Team
Defeats Frostburg Teachers
Coach Bill Jeffrey’s junior soccer Lions closed their abbreviated
two-game season with a 2-1 triumph over Frostburg State Teachers
College last weekend.
The record book shows one win and one loss for an even .500
mark for the jayvee booters. The junior soccermen dropped their
opener to Army’s Cadets by a 7-1 score.
Captain Bob Tscherfinger led the attack against the Frostburg
Teachers as he hit the scoring
zone twice to account for the win-
ning markers.
Both goals were scored on pen
alty kicks in the first half and the
Lions left the field with a two
point advantage at the half but
Frostburg tallied -ate in the
game.
Frostburg missed a scoring op
portunity early in the game when
a penalty kick was blocked by
goalie Ed Watson. After that the
Lions carried the game to their
Maryland foe and were never in
serious trouble.
Bud Cope and Art O’Berg play
ed excellent games at fullback
while Dave Dawson shone in the
forward wall.

Statistics Prove
Opponents Even
Last Saturday’s statistics of the
Penn State-Michigan State game
proved almost as conclusively as
the 14-14 score that the grid
squads were evenly matched in
the exciting contest.
The best example of even dis
tribution of “breaks’’ was the
equal number of penalties im
posed on both teams with exactly
the same yardage stepped off
against the rival squads.
Statistics are as follows:
Penn St. Mich. St.
First downs 16 18
Net yards rushing 160 139
