Actors Praise
Syracuse End
Thespians, 52-year-old campus
dramatics organization, today
voted an honorary membership
to a Syracuse University football
player for what it described as
“the greatest piece of dramatic
acting ever seen on Beave'r
Field.”
The “Oscar” was conferred on
Jim Dragotta, veteran Orange
end, by vote ,of the board of con
trol, and Herbert, R. Kinley, al
umni president, said a specially
designed parchment would be
sent' to the Phillipsburg, N.J.,
youth immediately.
Feigns Injury
Dragotta earned the award, in
the opinion of J. Ewing Kennedy,
Thespian director, “by feigning
injury so expertly in the last few
seconds of Saturday’s game that
he not only stopped the clock,
but gave, the crowd of 20,000 an
emotional wallop they may never
again have the good fortune to
experience.” .
This was the situation: Syra
cuse was. trailing, .33-14, when
Bernie» Custis, brilliant- passer,
sparked a 60-yard drive to the
one yard line. The Orange faced
the prospect of’ losing the score
because time was fast running
out. '
Calls Time
Dragotta, either by'pre-ar
rangement or because of a keen
sense of. responsibility, fell flat
on his face as Custis passed to
a teammate ; on the one. It was
seconds before the- officials saw.
Dragotta and called time, but
there was still time to line up
(without the injured Dragotta)
and put over an extra score.
Final: Penn State 33, Syracuse
21. ./. ■ .
• The crowd roared and the of
ficials -looked shame-faced as
Dragotta limped a few steps be
fore ■ trotting off the field and
Standing along the sidelines to
watch his coup pay off.
