You had to look twice to make sure you were 'Seeing correctly.
Surely State was at least two touchdowns better than Rutgers.
But the Beaver Field scoreboard wrote accurately: Penn State 7.
Rutgers 6. Then painfully you remembered. The Lions dropped
four touchdown passes and fumbled seven times in an exhibition
which had the makings of a post-season appearance in a "Butter
Bowl."
It was just hard to believe that Bill Leonard's toe was the only
difference in the ball game which saw State's offense roll bette:
than it had since the Nebraska game. With so much butterfingering,
State was lucky to get off with a one-point victory.
.Fumbles
seemingly more numerous this year than in the past—have been the
cause for practically every major upset this year. The 1952 fumble
champions, Notre Dame, fell to Michigan State by fumble-itis just
as Oklahoma went down before the Irish, mainly on fumbles.
With all the fumbling, the wise-acres might suggest that Coach
Rip Engle follow the precepts of the coach .in the anecdote, who
made his backs carry a football around to class with them. This
probably wouldn't work since most off; cials attribute today's ex
cessive fumbling to high tackling, and more to the point, actual
tackling of the ball.

is sure of its best season since Bob Higgins -piloted the 1948 Lion:
to a 7-1-1 season. Regardless of

ENGI:EAN: State's come-from-behind victory against Rutgers
was only the sixth Lion-Come-Lately feat in six wins and a tie
this year. (Nebraska alone among State's victims didn't realize
it should score first). Such hair-whitening finishes—witness the
Ripper—are described neatly by Mrs. Engle as a "finish with a
flourish." For facility in newspaper headline writing, let's call it
"Englean."
NEAR MISSES: With a little luck, both Tony Rados and Arnelle
could have tied or bettered Penn State passing and catching records.
Jess had two fall from his giant palms which would have given him
31 receptions and a tie for the Nittany season standard. A catch on
any of one of four touchdown passes thrown by Rados—and bobbled
by receivers—would have enabled Tony to tie the one-year State
record of nine TD throws.
RUTGERS POST MORTEMS: The Scarlet's "punt and prayer"
system of play worked wonderfully. Using the old-fashioned, but
highly effective quick kick, Rutgers kept State off balance first.
and then in trouble when Scarlet prayers were answered with a
Nittany fumble .. . The Scarlet passing from the spread formation
wa s virtually unstoppable except for some brilliant defensive
work by Don Eyer, Leonard, arid Sherry. Tailback Jack Jeffers
had no trouble finding open receivers with three backs and two
ends streaking downfield and then suddenly buttonhooking them
selves wide open.
ALL-EAST? With Nittanies Jim Dooley and Don Barney already
selected for the Blue-Gray game in December, it's about time they
start giving: Dooley and Barney some of the All-Something they de
serve. All-Ea - t would he just desserts for offensive center Dooley,
a gridder who h tered the difficult art of Centering and block
ing, sim ul tar.- c nd Barney, a block of granite in the center of
State's defensive line.

Offense was the keynote of football practice last night as the Nittany gridders strove to polish
attacking maneuvers in preparation for the season's grand finale with bowl-visioning Pitt Saturday.

jolt with the triple-fracture to defensive tackle Al Bowden's leg. Sophomore Bowden had been

The question that is being
ked by harrier speculator:.

—what happened to Penr

IC4A meet Monday?
Coach Chick Werner's harriers
-ere trying for their third
:raight IC team title, something
tat hadn't been accomplished
.nce Rhode Island did it in 1940,
1, and '42.
By placing four men—Captain
m Kepford, Lyle Garbe, John
Walter, and Wayne Scutt—in the
first ten and Jerry Zerbe in 19th
place, the Michigan State team
tallied 46 points for the team tro
phy. Army finished second with
93 points. Syracuse was third
with 98 points, and Penn State
fourth with 109 tallies.
The Lion's points were amassed
by winning sixth, 11th, 20th, 28th,
46th, (57), (80) places. Figures in
oarenthesis indicate non-scoring
'finishers.
What do these Lion placings
relate? All alibies aside and re
viewing the facts objectively, it
simply 'means that the Werner
men lacked middle depth.
Although this is no reflection
cm the efforts of Stan Lindner,
John Chilirud. and Jim Cres'sman,
the gaps between 28th place and
'.oth place are too wide-spread in
':arms of points for the Lions to
'ave survived the IC ordeal.
On the whole, the Lion hill
and-dalers have never turned in
faster times then they did Mon
day.
Red Hollen, junior distance ace,
turned in his best performance
of his x-country life by placing
sixth amohg a host of the East's

Still another damper on the
State attack is the unlikelihood
of end Joe Yukica seeing -action
Saturday against Pitt. With Joe
still unrecovered from a ligament
injury suffered in the Nebraska
game, regular defensive ends Don
Malinak and Dave Simon will
have to be used on offense oc-
Two prominent figures in the
:Lion offense this year, quarter
!back Tony Rados and end Jesse
Arnelle, are close to Penn State
records with just the Pitt game
left. Rados, who has set a new
mark in practically every passing
department, fir e d his eighth
touchdown pass of the season to
Dave Simon. This TD toss put
Steelton Tony one behind the Nit
tany record of the nine owned by
"Shorty" Miller (1912) and El
i .vood Petchel (1948).
1 The four passes Arnelle pulled
in Saturday brought his season
total to 29, just two shy of the
record 31 caught by Lenny
":-•ouse in 1941.
: On the ground, Bob Pollard has
taken over the rushing yardage
lead from Dick Jones and Matt
Yanosich. Pollard has now gained
a net of '329 yards to Jones' 322.
However, Jones has a better yards
er-carry average of 3.6 to Pol
ard's 3.3.
State's two standout . pass de
fenders, Don Eyer and Jack Sher
ry, continue to lead the way in
interceptions.
,Eyer, with three
grabs Saturday, moved ahead of
Sherry, eight to six.
Ted Kemmerer's walloping 43
yard-per-kick average against
Rutgers finally moved .him past
early-season kicker Ezrer with a
season total of 36.0 per kick.
Scoring honors remain well di
vided with 13 players sharing in
the Nittany point production.
Jones and Pollard still share the
f'.5:37 clocking, his fastest time
also.
Smith 28th
Captain Jackson Homer gave
a vood account of himself by fin
ishing 20th for State. His time
was 25:56. Lindner finished 46th,
with
a a 26:49 time; Chilirud 57th,
With 27:00 time; and Cre.3sman
80th, with a 27:27 cicicking.
In the upper s fourth of the 163-
runner field was State's Lamont
Smith. Before the race, Smith
was expected to be among the
first five finishers. Smith placed
28th, with a 26:14 time.;
The individual title was won by
Charley Capozzoli of Georgetown.
Taking charge, after the first mile,
the 5-8, 130-pound Hoya senior
poured on the pace relentlessly to
come bouncing home 150-yards in
front of his closest rival—Ray.O.s
terhout of Syracuse. The 21-year
old Capozzoli went around the
five -mile Van Cortlandt Park
course in a phenomenal 24:30.1;
which shaved 15 seconds off Dick
Shea's winning time of las_t_year
—which had been the fastest in
the history 'of the meet.
Smith stayed up, with the front
runners until he was about three
quarters of h mile from the finish
line,' then he faded rapidly.
