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.
But the hearts of Nittany play

Saturday's Grid Sidelights . . .
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.

Crackers, Dorm 41,
ATO, PhiKT, Win
- By HERM WEISKOPF
Dorm . 41, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa 'Tau and the Coal
Crackers posted wins in last night's IlVl — football action.
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.
