PAGE ST ,~ ti >,~'i f . ? ~:~_ 5,:.... Tony Rados • ut-Th rows t uels By JAKE HIGHTON Penn St. - tt , football stock— which had few buyers last week--soared to its peak price under the management of 'Coach Rip Engle after the un derdog Lions' bruising, bril liant moral victory over Pur due Saturday. The powerful Purdues came out of the Midwest with illusions of their first opening game victory in the last six years. Instead, the Big Ten runnerups left Beaver Field and 22,000 weak-voiced sun bathers with an extremely heal thy respect for Penn State and only half share in the glory of a 20-20 standoff. Showing their undaunted come from-behind mettle for the sec ond week in a row, the Lions twice overcame Purdue leads and appeared to have the power left for a winning drive when time ran out. Out-Samueled Samuels With the Dale Samuels aerial game proving to be every bit as good as expected, State counter punched with a sparkling air - at tack of its own. The cool, calm "pro" quarterbacking and pass ing of Tony Rados completely out-Samueled Samuels as State's ends and backs latched on to 17 of Rados' 30 heaves for 179 yards. Samuels could "only" complete 14 out of 28 for 138 yards. Helping Rados out with sticky fingered receiving were ends Joe Yukica, Don Malinak, Jess Ar nelle and backs Dick Jones, Matt Yanosich, and Bob Pollard. . First Period The Boilermakers began steam ing right off th e kickoff with classy turning of the ends, crisp blocking and Samuels' smooth overhead game. Halfback Jerry Thorpe bolted through the line on a quick-opener for a 33-yard dash to State's 17 before defensive pillar, Don Eyer made the stop. The drive stalled two plays later when. Eyer's jolting tackle caused Purdue fullback Max Schmaling to fumble. State's hardhitting line kept Purdue well in check until late in the first period when Samuels arched a pass from the 14 yard line into the end zone where end Bernie Flowers wrapped it up. Samuels converted and Purdue led 7-0. . Midway in the second period the Lions steam engined from their own 14 to the tying touch down despite 20 yards of penal ties. Pollard's fighting drive picked up nine. Then engineer Rados found Yukica wide open down the middle for 13 yards and a first down on State's 33. Yukica wa s untended again and Rados' aerial netted a FD at the Purdue 37. Jonesy grabbed a Rados screen pass and twisted and turned brilliantly to the 20. With fourth down on the four teen, Rados hit Yanosich who raced to the three. Pollard then capped the 86 yard drive, in which Rados hit 7 completions for 72 yards, by blasting to paydirt. Bill Leonard toed the pigskin through the uprights for a 7-7 half time score. Roared Back Starting the third period, Lion's Eyer took a punt on State's 35 and aided by beautiful downfield blocking, particularly by Pollard, raced 42 yards to the Purdue 17. Without further ado, Rados flipped a bullseye to Yukica in the end zone. Leonard's kick was wide but State led 13-7. . _ Seemingly incensed, Purdue roared right back to tie and then go ahead. Samuels to Flowers passing and Schmaling and Kle zik running. carried to State's six. Here Purdue reversed spectacu larly with Klezik carrying it over. State couldn't get rolling after the 13-13 tying touchdown so two minutes later Purdue broke the hearts of most Penn Staters. With first down on the 37, Klezik sped through the right . side of the line and went 63 'yards with hardly a hand being laid on him. Samuels converted to a 20-13 lead.

Photogs Run By JOHN SHEPPARD "I had a reserved seat on the 50 yard line," one Penn State football fan said t'o another. • "That's nothing," the other replied, "I had one one the sidelines. It was a walking seat and quite interesting at that." "I'll tell you about it." During the first period one of of bounds. And the sad part of it was that he ran head on into a Collegian photog, Bruce Schroe der. Stu Holcomb, the Boilermakers coach, happened to be standing a few feet away and hurridly made his way toward the players lying on the ground. Schroeder noticed the curly-headed Purdue coach rushing towards him. Schroeder thought he was being very con siderate, but . . . Holcomb raced to the side of his halfback and helping him up, asked if he were injured. That's mid-western hospitality for you, Schroeder said to himself as he got to his feet. Speaking of photographers, Jim Mahan of the United Press ran into a similar circumstance. Ma han was focusing his camera on a beautiful end around play when, much to his surprise, he dis covered himself lying flat on his back amid a host of players. Paul Vatkis of the Associated Press scrambled to 'Mahan's side and helped him up. Mahan's fir s t words were, "I got the pix." In the middle of the third period, big end number 80, Ber nie Flowers of Erie, ran into the bench during one of the time outs and asked a manager for a helmet strap. "That big Jesse Arnelle made away with mine," he said. (Jesse, you'd better re turn that young man's helmet strap.) We've never noticed so many toothless players, whose theme song could very well be "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" on the first string ers were hardly dismayed. Eyer intercepted a pass and carried to the Purdue 31. Rados found Ar nelle down the sideline for a 19 yard gain to the 25, making up for a 15 yard penalty. On a "fifth down"—the officials had bungled —Rados pitched out to Jones who scampered to the 16 for a FD. Tiny Yanosich skirted off end to the 2 and another FD. On third down, Rados lunged over the payoff stripe. State's toe, Leon ard, came •through in the clutch with a 20-20 kick. Still kicking, Purdue marched to State's 33. But the line stacked up Schmaling, and Pete Schoder bek spilled Samuels for a loss. Then Eyer snagged a Samuels heave to end the threat with only 1:10 left on the clock. Victory'. ' for Pons Risks Purdue's halfbacks was forced out offensive line. We counted four players with two or more front teeth missing. Did you ever wonder what a player, who had been knocked out cold on the turf, said when he recovered? In the third period Dan Pobojewski, Purdue's fullback, collided with an opposing State athlete and fumbled. After the smelling salts was brushed past Pobo's nose a few times, he re gained consciousness and said, "I didn't mean to lose that ball, hon est I didn't." Do you remember that num ber 41? 'How could you forget him. He's the lad who made those two pass interceptions. We noticed that he wasn't the least bit winded after the sec ond long runs as he came to the bench. Part of it can be con tributed to the Heidbrink Army resuscitator. Ed Zembul kept filling his lungs with fresh air every time we looked at him. Aren't we observant? Did you notice the blue ribbon midway between the two 10 yard first down markers? It's a big help to the people up in the press box. Only 2 MA re Days . . ..

The first game was a 7-6 victory for Dorm'4l over the IrOnmen. Dick Stover of Dorm 41 made a sensational juggling catch deep in enemy territory , and was finally caught on the 17. Three plays later Don Calby passed to Dick Ward on the two and he stepped over frond there, Stover caught a pass in the end zone to make it 7-0. ATO's Stephanic Stars The second half was a battle of punts until Neal Lucas, of the Ironmen intercepted pass on his own 15 and raced 45 yards. The Ironmen pushed down 'to the 21 and with 13 seconds to go Paul Hood completed a 15 yard pass to Bob Penoyer who took it the remaining six. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful and Dorm 41 had a 7-6 victory. Alpha Tau Omega rode to vie ;:ory on the passing of Paul Ste phanie. Wayne Bren intercepted a Tau Phi Delta pass that helped set up the only score of the con test. Lou Gomlick caught a Steph anic pass on the seven, and two plays later the same combination clicked for the final seven. The extra point was successful as Bob Garbrick he 1 d on to another Stephanic pass in the end zone. TPD started to roll but they were stopped when Stephanie in tercepted a pass on his own 15. Unable to pick up the required 20 yards in four downs ATO was forced to punt. Once again an in= terception halted the Delts. This time it was Tony Dorrell who turned the trick. Scoreless In Regulation The Gilmores and the Co al Crackers went into overtime be fore the Crackers came, out with a hard fought 1-0 decision. Early in the first half Al Tomb intercepted a Cracker pass at mid field and took it the 35. A 15 yard penalty moved the ball to the 20. But the Gilmores failed to cash in on this chance. Play went back and forth as both teams intercept ed frequently. Th e regulation game ended in a scoreleSs tie. The Gilmores had the ball on the first of the required six plays of overtime. They picked up five yards on a penalty, , but the Coal men got it right back on a shovel pass play. Tom Warner took a shovel pass from Sam Procopio and raced seven yards to the Gil mores' 49 and the one point that decided it all. • In the final game Phi Kappa Tau edged Alpha Epsilon Pi, 12-7.
