LionGridders Top Nebraska,! 5-7
Bill Leonard's
Field Goal
Clinches Win
By ERNIE MOORE
What Rip Engle has done for
Penn State’s football team since
he came to the Nittany Vale a
year ago is becoming more and
more evident as each game pass
es. It was certainly evident when
the Nittany Lions defeated Ne
braska, 15-7, in Lincoln Saturday.
For the third week ,in a row,
the Lions received a few bad
breaks and fell behind late in the
game. And for the second time in
three contests, the spirited Lions
ignored the breaks; fought back,
and won a ball game.
First Field Goal
A field goal, the Lions’ first this
year, by wingback Bill Leonard
was the turning point of the
game. Leonard kicked from the
15 yard line from a slight angle
in the fourth quarter to put Penn
State back in the lead after trail
ing 7-6.
Leonard also played well on
defense, intercepting two passes
at crucial points in the game. Of
fensively, Bob Szajna, Bob Pol
lard, Pete Shopa and Art Betts
were standouts. Dave Simon and
Carl Pfirman both were in on
key defensive plays.
The score is- no indication of
how State beat Nebraska. The
Lions dominated the play dur
ing the first half. Twice in the
first quarter they moved inside
the Cornhusker’s 15 yard line
only to lose the ball, once on a
fumble, once on downs.
Only Tally
Nebraska’s only score came as
a result of a Penn State penalty.
After State kicked off to start the
second half, Nebraska ran three
plays and punted. Bob Pollard
took the ball on his own 25 yard
line, picked his way beautifully
through the entire Nebraska team
and went 75 yards into the. end
zone. A defensive holding penalty
nullified the play and gave
Nebraska a first down on the
Cornhusker 46. 1
On the next play, John Bordog
na broke into the open and went
all the way to the State one yard
line before Simon caught him
from behind. Bordogna took it
over from there. Bob Decker
kicked the extra point to give
the Cornhuskers a 7-6 lead.
Betts Scores
State’s first score came in the
second quarter after taking pos
session on the Nebraska 37 yard
line. Shopa broke loose to the 19
for a first down. Ori the next play,
Szajna spotted Betts, who had
faked a Nebraska defender out
of position, in the open. Betts
took the pass inside the ten yard
line and carried it into the end
zone. Leonard’s placement was
not good.
After Nebraska had taken the
lead in the third quarter, State
took the kickoff and moved right
down the field to the Cornhusker
four yard line. But Ted Shattuck
fumbled and Nebraska recovered
in the end zone for an automatic
touchback.
Taking possession on the 20,
Nebraska moved to the State 16
yard line. Bob Smith ate up most
of the yardage with a 59 yard

Named Week's
Top Athletes
Bill Leonard and Dave Simon
share this week’s selection of
Athlete of the Week by the Col
legian sports staff.
Leonard’s field goal in the sec
ond half of the Nebraska game
Saturday took the fight out of
the Cornhuskers, who held a 7-6
lead before Bill split the uprights
from the 15 yard line against a
stiff wind.
The Lion defensive halfback
also played a great game defen
sively, intercepting two Nebras
ka passes at crucial times in the
contest.
Simon, substituting for the in
jured Quick Wilson at defensive
end came through with two great
shoestring tackles, one of which
could be termed “the game saver.”
After Leonard had kicked his
field goal, Nebraska’s Bill Smith
broke away toward the Lion goal
with a clear field ahead of him.
Simon caught him after Smith
had gone 59 yards. State stopped
the Nebraska attack and pulled
out of danger.
It was also Simon who pulled
John Bordogna down from be
hind after the Cornhuskers full
back had romped all the way to
the State one yard line.

For Ist in 16-48 Win
By JAKE HIGHTON
As a final tuneup'for powerful
Michigan State, which runs here
Saturday, Penn State’s cross
countrymen did the expected by
thoroughly outclassing Cornell,
16-47 on the College course Sat
urday.
With only' one man in the top
eight places, the Big Red runners
were little threat as the Lions
easily captured their second
straight this season and their
eighth successive dual meet
triumph since 1949.
The ease of the victory was evi
dent from the fact that four
Lions—Bill Ashenfelter, Lamont
Smith, Red Hollen and Jack Hor
ner-Braced side by side practical
ly every step of the way after the
one mile mark to finish in a quad
ruple dead heat, for first place.
The good time of 26:48 was ten
seconds better than Smitty's win
ning clocking against Pitt.
Places Fifth
Cornell’s Bob Grossman fan a
fine up-front race among the host
of Blue & White runners to win
fifth place in 27:10, -15 seconds
better than State’s sixth-place
Dud Foster who, if he had-been
able to overtake Grossman, would
have given the Lions, a clean
sweep of the scoring positions.
The Lions’ Pete Judd and Pete
Sarantopoulos jogged past the fin
ish line together in 27:46 for
seventh place. The 31-year-old
Greek ran immediately behind
the leaders for three miles and
when he fell back after 4miles
sophomore Judd, who came on
from far back, picked him up to
roll home matching strides.
Following the Red’s O’Brien in
9th, State’s soph Carl Godshall
crossed the line in 10th and frosh
John Chillrud finished 11th.
Slow Quarter
Even through Cornell was
never a serious contender, the
Lion runners made it easy for
them by running a slow 70-second
first-, quarter. At the mile, Ash,
Foster, Smitty, Horner, Hollen,
Bob Roessler and Sarantopdulos
were ahead in 4:56
After 2i/ 2 miles the'same Nit
tany gang, except Sarantopoulos,
were still in the van. At the three
mile station passed in 15:48, Ash,
Smitty, Horner and Hollen were
in command. Sarantopoulos fell
back in fifth and Foster dropped
to sixth.
At.that point, Grossman, who
