Tocci, who is starting his first year as freshman mentor, used 16 men in the contest, which pre ceded the Rhode Island State game.

It was the best season mark a team under his adminis tration has recorded. “In four years at Kansas State we didn’t win. a football game,” the Presi dent said. “It became so bad that people began to think we were a real educational institution.” The President also came' up with the best laugh of the < night. Rising to address the audience, he said: “I’m as qualified to’speak about football as Harry Truman is to write letters to a music>crit ic.” In a more serious vein, how- i ever, he told the 200 players and guests, “I believe in a middle of the road program of athletic aid. An educational institution is 1 based on integrity, and if you lack integrity in athletics it / spreads like a cancer throughout the institution.” Speaking of Penn State football and Engle, the President said, “I am exceedingly happy about the whole situation . . . We’re very fortunate to have precisely the right personality for the job.” Harlow told the players “cour age consists of. being scared to death and then going ahead.” “All-American players are a dime a dozen, but all-American guys are priceless,” the for'mer Penn State great concluded.
