Charges to Win, 22-7
Hard-charging lines that enjoy nothing better than bowling over
opponents, together with fast-stepping backs who can consistently
roll up yardage—that’s the Penn State grid formula, proved success
ful for the past three years.
. 'A#'**# combination never paid off more obviously than it did
®»tUt#py ■vyhen the Lions trampled the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 22-7,
before 23,600 fans at Beaver
iSeia.
Led by Fred;, Felbaum, Don
Murray, Negley Norton, Joe Dr -
zenovich, Bobby Hicks, and Jack
Stoker, the . Penn State line dup
licated its teat of two years ago.
lllie defense stopped Nebraska’s
baH-carriers with 5 net yards in
rushing average.
NAGLE DROPPED "
• The Husker average was shot;
to pieces, especially in the final
period; when State ' linemen
caught Francis Nagle, Nebraska
quarterback, attempting to pass
and threw him for Huge losses.
Three of those losses in one series
cost Nebraska 24 yards, and gave
Pehn two points in the
fourth-period, when Jack Storer
caught Nagle behind his ' own
goM. 1
-The Lions also uncovered a
top-notch ball-carrier Saturday
With Bill Luther finally hitting
his stride. A hard-to-sfap carrier
diiring his high-school days at
Osceola Mills, Luther hadn’t been
too . impressive in collegiate ap
pearances before this season and
was sleted for second-string tail
back duties. But he has shown
improvement in aU four games
this ; year, and may how be Coach
Bedenk’s answer to the impor
tant tailback problem.
• ROGEL HURT'O.t:-'
Hie Lions needed a hard-run
ner after the offense suffered a
severe blow, losing Fran Rogel
iii the first.quairter.'Rogel sprain
ed his left ankle, and was forced
to ride the bench the remainder
of the afternoon. Len Shepard,
sophorrtore, filled in capably, at
fullback. .
Rogers ankle is stiU swollen
this week and it is uncertain
whether he will be ready for
duty against Michigan Sta t e.
The same is true of Earle Mun
dell who injured his right ankle.
Felbaum sprained the ligaments
in his left knee but he is a safe
bet to see action. Chuck Drazeno
vich remains a question - mark,
but the rest of the squad, though
collectively suffering from an as
sortment of bruises, should be irji
shape for the Sjpartans.
; LUTHER SCORES
BUI Luther’s two jaunts from
the 9-yard line in the first quart
er racked up the first Lion touch

placement gave State a'7-point
lead that the “White-clads” never
test.' 1 - ■ . ■
* After' Bobby Hicks tackled
Gerald Ferguson attempting to
punt out of danger on the Ne

For Third Win
The Lions’ third straight tri
umph, a 6-1 verdict over Syra
cuse last weekend, might have
been a costly one for the Jeffrey
meh.
Early in the'first period, Ron
Coleman, sophomore sensation of
the Nittany booting forces,
sprained his ankle and had to be
removed from the game. X-rays
revealed that . no bones Were
RON COLEMAN
broken but Coleman would" be
out of uniform for more than a
week.
After Ted Lieb gave the Nit
tanymen an early 2-0 lead by tal
lying after, the game, was ten
minutes , old. and again early in
the second period, Boyer, his re
placement, scored to give the
Lions a comfortable half-time
margin.
Shortly after intermission, Joe
Lane broke through the Orange
defense to add another tally to
the Lions’ list of high-scoring
games.
Especially outstanding during
the contest was the work of , the
Nittany forwards who kept pos
session of the ball in Syracuse'
territory throughout the major
part of the struggle. -
Only once did the Orange
forces penetrate the danger zone.
That was late in the third period
When they scored against Goalie
Ron Coder. The score was the
first that an opponent has made
all se&son.
Bill Yerkes, starting. fullback,
was removed from the game
when he fell and injured his
shoulder; however, Coach Jeff
rey stated that the injury was
not severe' enough to keep him
out of the Nayy encounter this
Saturday, when the Lions hope
tv, extend their current win
streak to four.

Harriers Swamp NYU,
15-48, in Opening Test
Coach Chick Werner’s cross country team opened its
in sensational style Saturday by shellacking NYU, 15 to
the College golf course.
Running under conditions that
were anything but good, the Nit
tany Harriers captured the first
six places and had things pretty
much their own way at the finish
of the five mile race.
DON ASHENFELTER
Don Ashenfelter led the pack
home, covering the distance in
27 minutes and 10 seconds. Fol
lowing him to the wire were Bob
Parsons in second place, Bob
Freebairn, A 1 Porto and Bill Ash
enfelter in a tie for third and
John St. Clair in sixth place. All
completed the course in times
under 28 minutes,
Ashcnfelter’s victory was all
the more noteworthy in that it
was the first intercollegiate race
of any sort in his career. It was
also Bill Ashenfelter’s first inter
collegiate cross country race.
TERRIFIC
“Our boys were terrific,” he
said. “Considering the terrible
conditions under which the race
was run, the boys performed
wonderfully. Even St. 'Clair and
McCall, finishing where they did
turned in respectable perform
ances.”
Coach Werner was greatly
pleased with the results of his
teams showing despite the fact
that the NYU team was extreme
ly weak and far below that uni
versity’s usual form.
The summary:
1. Don Ashenfelter, Penn State, 27:10
2. Parson, Penn State, 27:13
3. Freebairn, Porto, Bill Ashenfelter,
