When Engle .was questioned after the game about the two plays,'where Tommy Allman and Fred Wyant were sup posedly offside, he replied: “You’ll have to wait until we look at the movies.” According to the movie reports both players were offside. The ' first questionable ■ play came in the second half when Wyant scored on a quarterback sneak from the one foot line to tie the Nittany Lions. The second came four plays later when All man blocked Don Eyer’s kick. Bruce Bosley fell on the ball in the end zone. • Penn Stale 'Good' Engle felt that Penn State is as good as West Virginia. “If they are good enough to rate fifth na tionally, we should be right along side them,” he said. Penn State led in all statistics but the scoring department. The Lions totaled 16 first downs to West Virginia’s eight. Penn State outrushed the Mountaineers, 151 to 82, outgained them in passing yardage, 253 to 139.

PENNSYLVANIA Score Stood 12-6 Banters Rout Duke 5-0 for 4th Win; Wernermeit Down Spartans, 25-30 By ROY WILLIAMS Penn State’s soccer eleven rallied in the last Chick Werner’s Nittany harriers added to the period on Saturday afternoon with four goals to' validity of the . statement that “uneasy lies-the hand the Bluedevils of Duke a 5-0 loss. The win head that wears the crown” when they outlegged was the fourth in five starts for the Lions, as they iast year’s IC4A and NCAA champs, Michigan played their first, home tilt of the season before State on Saturday, 25-307 at East Lansing, Mich -800 fans.' ■ - igan. ; ' Dick Matacia, sophomore lineman, won the scor ing honors for the day by “booting three goals past Pete Hochreiter, Duke’s goalie. Matacia’s first goal came in the second period at 16:25. His last two were scored in the fourth period, along with tallies by Hu bie Kline, and Jack Pinezich, At halftime, the Nittany soceerr men held a slim one-point lead, as the Bluedevils put on a dis nlay of effective defensive play, despite a surging Lion offensive attack. State’s score in the sec ond period came with just six minutes remaining. • , In the third quarter. Captain Hap Irvin, playing at the full back slot, showed continued de fensive finesse. He thwarted scoring threats by Duke, as he picked aerial boots out of the air with both his head and an agile ’ foot. While Duke tried to 'score in vain, during the third quarter, the Nittahies were pushing the Bluedevil’s defensive setup in order to score. . The Lions seriously threatened to tally six times in the same period, but ineffective booting rather than Duke’s defense held them scoreless. One downfield drive which included Matacia, Kline, and Dick Packer covered three-quarters of the field; the final attempt to score, ■ however, from twelve yards by Pa.cker failed ending another Lion threat. Late in the third period, the Lions had the Bluedevils on the run again, as they closed in for an attempted score with a four on-two attack. Again State failed to tally. What began as a touch-and-go match for both teams, exploded into a rout for Penn State. Hubie Kline, outside left, booted a two yard er at 6:03 giving the Lions a 2-0 lead. Kline figured importantly in State’s third goal, and Matacia’s second when the two linemen teamed up to finally pierce the Duke’s defense. With sixteen minutes 6f the fourth period gone, Matacia scored his third tally to give Penn State a commanding 4-0 lead over the Duke squad. Jack Pinezich accounted for the Lions final goal with a penalty kick with just two minutes to play. Captain Red Hollen and Lamont Smith placed first- and second with times of 20:29.5j| and 20:31 for the four-mile course. Doug Moorhead was fourth with a clocking of 21:20. JinvHamill was eighth, John Chillrud tenth, Ted Garrett 11th and Don Austin 14th for the Lions. ' It. marked the first time this season that Lyle Garbe, ace Spar tan hill-and-daler, failed to finish in the No. 1 position. Garbe placed third, one second behind Smith. Dick Jarret, Ken Barley and John Cook crossed the finish line close behind one another to take fifth, sixth and seventh for Karl Schlademan’s Spartans. For- the first time this year the Nittany Triple-Trouble-Trio of Hollen, Smith and Moorhead did - not finish one-tw°-three. However, without the "Big Three" it would have been a much different race. ' Saturday’s victory enabled the Nittany runners to keep their win ning streak intact.
