pulsed it. Early in the first period
a bad center on the Pitt 47 was
recovered by John Finley on the
34 and it appeared as if the Nit
tanyites were ready to score.
Following an incomplete pass
by Petchel, Rogel smashed down
to the 22, but an offside penalty
nullified the play, Triplett lost a
yard on a reverse, and Petchel,
unable to pass, was smothered on
the 48, a loss of 16 yards in three
plays. Captain Joe Colone punted
to the Nittany 24. After Pitts
burgh was stopped cold in three
plays, Bil Hardisty punted to the
Lion 40.
Six plays later Don Fisher, a
center, intercepted a pass and cut
the Nittany drive down before it
could pick up momentum.
Robinson's 40-yard run in the
second period gave the home
team an advantage throughout
out the second half. A 22-yard
pass, Petchel to Bob Hicks, placed
the ball on the Pitt 45, but again
the drive died, this time on the
36 and Pittsburgh took over.
Colone kicked off to open the
second half, and after five plays,
Hardisty punted to the Nittany
17. From there Rogel drove, with
three breaks in which Triplett
and Petchel picked up a yard, to
the Pitt 15 1 / 2 -yard line where he
was stopped by the Panther for
ward wall.
This drive ended the third
period, and when the game ap
peared to be mired in a scoreless
tie, Hardisty punted over the Nit
tany goal and three plays later
Bolkovac intercepted the Petchel
pass to score the game's only
marker.
With four minutes to go, Penn
State started its final drive to
ward the Blue and Gold goal.

46 to the Pitt 35. Petchel was
stopped for no gain on the first
play and thrown for a 4-yard loss
on the second. A statute-of-liberty
with 50 seconds to go recorded no
gain, and when Robinson inter
cepted Pet chel's fourth-down
pass, the crowd, certain that the
game would die there, moved
down to the field.
PENALTY
But an interference penalty
gave the Lions the ball on the 21,
and after missing with a pass to
John Stnidansky, Petchel hit
Cooney on the 11 as the clock
showed 20 seconds to go. Smidan
sky caught an aerial on the 2-yard
line and with just 10 seconds left
to play, State called time out.
Rogel was sent into the linup to
replace Colone and the Nittany
powerhouse smacked into the left
side of the Panther wall and
bounced back just short of a goal
as the final gun sounded.
Grinding out 15 first downs and
240 yards on the ground and in
the air, the Lions were far super
ior to the Smokey City team that
was able to record only four first
downs and 77 yards.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1948
Alumni Pilot
High School
Grid Team
An all-Penn State 'tall. headed
by Sever Toretti, formerly of
Steelton High School, was in
command of football at Williams
port High School this year. The
team bettered its record of the
previous year, winning four, los
ing four and tying one.
Toretti, an outstanding line
man during his undergraduate
years, chose two of his former
teammates as his assistants in his
first season with the Cherry and
White. Tom Vargo, of Johnstown,
coached the ends and Charles
"Chuck" Peters, of Shamokin,
directed the backs.
Vargo, who was a top-flight
terminal as a collegian, formerly
coached at South Williamsport
High School, and after the war
switched to McKeesport. Peters
coached at both Morris Town
ship and Shamokin.
Lion Coach Bob Higgins rates
these three among his best play
ers in the pre-war ,era. Toretti, a
Monongahela boy, enjoyed un
usual success as head man at
Steelton.

because State lost, nor has the
Colege been relegated to the
gridiron backwoods.
A happy sight to us was the
crowd of cheering students which
met the team when it returned to
State Colege. Disheartened team
members took solace from the fact
that the student body is still
backing them.
After all, as Coach Bob Higgins
said last week. "Defeat has to
come sooner or later."
That's the way the football
bounces.
