'Records Highlight
!Lion Grid Season
' In the highly successful football season which closed for Penn
State with seven \wins, two losses, and one tie, the Lion gridders set
several records and came up with a number of outstanding in
dividual efforts.
The one that pleased Nittany
excellent coverage of punts. On
return was only slightly under
three yards—a tribute both to
the fast coverage of the kicking
platoon and the. high booming
kicks of Ted Kemmerer.
The Lion punt specialist aver
aged 36.6 yards on each of his
52 kicks. Early season kicker Don
Eyer averaged 35.4 on 17 punts.
Ground gaining honors went
to Berwyn Boh Pollard for the .
second year in a row. Trailing
Dick Jones and Matt Yanosich
all season, Pollar d finished
strongly to net 341 yards in 110
carries.
Total offense honors went to
Tony Rados with 936 yards gained
in 205 plays, . mostly via the air
lanes. Steelton Tony set many
passing records this year and just
missed another. Rados set a new
season high for Penn State with
93 completions out of 186 throws
for an excellent 50 percent aver
age.
Tony's career -total, of 118 corn
pletions is also a Penn State rec
ord along with his single game
completion mark of 17 set in the
Purdue game this season. Only a
butterfingering Nittany team on
the afternoon of the Rutgers game
prevented Tony from tying the
Nittany record of nine touchdown
passes in a season. (Tony wound
up with eight TD passes).
It was largely the aerial arm
of Rados which helped Penn
State to outgain its opponents
through the air although the
Lions were bested on the
ground.
Rados passes to Jess Arnelle
also set another record when the
tall Nittany end grabbed 33 pass
es this season to set a new Penn
State season record.
Scoring wise, Bill Leonard and
his toe led the entire team.
Twenty-one - conversions in 23
tries and two field goals gave
Bill 27 points and the team leader
ship. Pollard and Jones each
scored four touchdowns for 24
pointa. Rados scored three times.
and Bob Szajna, Yanosich, and
Arnelle all scored twice.
Rounding out State's utiliza
tion of the aszways, Jack Sherry
and Don Eyer each intercepted
eight passes to establish Nittany
highwater marks. Don Bailey,
