PAGE SIX Late Rally • • ."; • A 4".." turf on a shoestring tackle by State's Bill Straub (31). Coming up to aid Straub is Rosy Grier (74). Penn State defeated the Orangemen for its second successive win at Beaver Field Saturday, 20-14. DeFalco Blocks 4th Period Punt to Set up Garrity Tr) It takes perfect team work, perfect blocking, and the old college spirit to pry loose any defense in football—especially of the nation's leading major college team. That's what Coach Rip Engle's gridders had to achieve Saturday during the 4th quarter to walk off Beaver Field with its second successive triumph. Syracuse was the victim, 20-14. Charlie Blockson's 45-yard run, Danny DeFalco's blocked kick picked up by Jim Garrity, and Lenny. Moore's end sweep did the trick. The 21,500 spectators were somewhat baffled at what they saw during the first half. Penn State had only three first downs— the first ten yards were not hiade until mid-way in the second quar ter. But it was easy to understand, Syracuse had limited its oppon ents to a measly average of 59.7 yards. The Nittany Lions how ever, sliced the Orange -defense for a total of 186 yards. Like the Lions were Ameched at Wisconsin, they were almost Lebermanned at Beaver Field. The latter halfbaCk just rambled through the Penn State line with the greatest of ease. It was Bob Leberman who took off right tackle for two yards to get Syra cuse off on the right foot. Art Troilo received two pitchouts and advanced the ball for Syracuse's initial first down and the first of the game (ten minutes in the Ist quarter). Pat Stark, the quarterback who pierced the Lions with his passes last year, found Troilo in the open twice. The first pass was good for nine yards, while the second, covering 42 yards, placed the pig skin eight yards from paydirt. Stark's third successive pass was incomplete. Leberman hit the cen ter for two yards. Stark followed with an end sweep and a TD. Jim George's point after touch down split the uprights and Syra cuse led at half time, 7-0. Syracuse was headed for another score early in the third period. On the seventh play, however, Keith Vesling intercepted Stark's pass in the end zone—the ball being brought out to the 20-yard stripe. Engle's offensive weapon, co-captain Tohy Rados, whose re ceivers were well-covered, began to mix his calls well, bringing the Lions up to their own 49-yard line in five plays. Bill Straub, State's plunging fullback, made eight yards. Rados By SAM PROCOPIO on the next play pitched out to halfback Buddy Rowe 11 who scampered to the Syracuse 13- yard stripe only to fumble. Lyle Carlson recovered for Syracuse. Fullback Don Laaksonen made five yards off tackle. Then troublesome Leberman added two more yards. On thi r d down Leberman broke loose with some fine blocking, getting into the clear. Vesling, however, brought him down out of bounds on State's 25. Stark called on the halfback again and he made a first down. The same halfback ad vanced four more yards. With a pitchout from Stark, it was Leber man again for 12 yards and Syra cuse's second TD. George con verted successfully again. From here Penn State took charge. With four plays and a penalty the Lions crossed the goal line for the first time. "Block buster" Blockson spearheaded the drive with a beautiful 45-yard run off tackle. Jim Harding added the extra point. • (Continued on page seven) rtiE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA IM Football Begins 2nd Round Plow Four shutouts featured the sec ona round of IM football last night.
