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? Well, the team realizes that
i.it has a big job to do—in fact-eight
~ bjg, jobs to 'do and it's ready to
buckle doWn to the task Any
I,f,eeling that all the Penn State
team.: had • to do to .win was to
,walk onto the field has been
.`;smothered by 21 points and it's

Future Rivals
Fare Poorly
Five of Penn State's future op
ponents wound up on the short
end of. the ,score in Saturday
squabbles but the results aren't
calculated to make_ Coach Joe
Bedenk breathe much eisier.
Boston College and Temple fell
by heavy margins, 46-0 and 54-0
respectively to major rivals, Okla
homa and Texas. Michigan State
scared the day-lights out of power
ful Michigan Univ. before bowing,
7-3, and West Virginia and Syra
cuse were downed 'by Ohio Univ.
and Boston Univ.
But on the other side of the
ledger, State's next rival; Ariny,
walloped little Davidson, 47-7,
Nebraska soared over S. Dakota,
33-6, and Pitt edged William and
Mary. 15-7.

Ar'thy Scout Says
Joe Stevens, West Point scout
who, took: in Saturday's fray, was
by ' a •Philadelphia radio
announcer, "What do you think
of the fullback duel between
Rogel and Pasquariello?" With
but hesitating a minute Stevens
answered, "There's no fullback
like. Rogel in my book." And
coming from a man who scbuts
many bf the major football teams
I ,l*3lJA:t ciuntry,:that's some, book.
Temple Scout Says .
Jimmy - Bunlg;49.7ger.4XemPle
and ''rithicef:tcotifing for
the Owls, said, "Penn State is
suffering from the natural effects
of the fi!..t* jitters, 'They're,
inakipg \mistakeS',W: that any
learnanakek in the opener.. 1 think
'that they'll -show; a much .better
brand of ball later in the season
than ittlieSete showing now." .
Annowicer Says
By' Saam, nationally famous
sportscaster, complained not about
the - gain, but about the officiat
ing. "Diary time I looked on the
field; 'a red' flag was down," he
said'. "The officials are killing the
game with their constant whistle
blowing." • • ,•
Jcie Fan Says
"Yes, the team lost Saturday
and the fair weather friends are
yelling for the usual scalps, but
don't count the team out. They're
capable of playing :better ball and
I'll bet .my coonskin coat against
a Cadet's hat' that the Lion will,
still be able to come back with
a big roar."
