TUESDAY, SEPTEMBF,R 27, 194 S ' Between . - 00 , Isti ) )` • \ The Lions With Elliot Krone • Sports Editor • It. was a silent and slow-mov ing crowd that filed out of the Penn State stadiuni ' Saturday 'afternoon. Even as they walked toward the exits, people turned •to look unbelieving at the score board. But the score remained; 27- 6, and the game was over. Not since 1945 when the Lion team went to Annapolis to re ceive a 28-0 trouncing has any team so overwhelmingly defeated the Nittany gridders, and not since 1931, almost two decades agO, has the 'team lost a home opener. - • As for the game itself, the 4 Penn State team was good, but the Villanova team was better. Saturday afternoon. The Wild cat's blocking and tackling was , crisp and their line •was strong enough to withstand the batter-, ing of Rogel 'and Company. • Passing seemed to be the cru cial point of the game, and while' the Villanovan's attack contiruial#:, ly found holes in the 'Nittany secondary, the Penn State passers couldn't seem to spot receivers down the field. • • Another important . factor in'the passing department Saturday *EkS the Villanova strategy of defense. Rather than concentrate, on the receivers, the Wildcats r • diregt;Otl; their defensive attack againsethe passer, and time after time 013ara or Luther would be stopped be fore he had a chance to get,rid of the ball. Outstanding • • Even in defeat many of the Penn State gridders looked and, played excellent games in, the, line and backfield.. -• Paul Kelly, who played most of the game, did a Herculean task of running from the :guard po'siL Lion on the offense while' back .ing up the line on the. defenSe2 `Both Lion tackles, Negley 'Norton and Don Murray also did' double duty on the line along with Bob Hicks and John Smidansky at the end posts. -' '•• The Nittany backfield,' bottled 'up most of the game by the Villa, nova line, added a few bright :spots to the otherwise -glum pic r :Lure. Newcomers like Chandois John, son, Mel Shephard,lioy Shaginaw ,and George Jacobs, playing their . J.first game for Penn State, spelled 'the Lion regulars and gave 'notice "that the Nittany Lion is, far. from the: senile stage. ~ , • What's the team's attitude and :what is the outlook for the fu- ture?
