JIM GARRITY shows how the No. 1 pass receiver in the East
makes his catches look easy. Here he pulls in one of Co-captain
Tony Rados' pitches. Penn State was edged by the Mountaineers
of West Virginia. 20-19. at Beaver Field Saturday.
Rados' Passing
Breaks Record
Thanks to the unawareness of the football officials West
Virginia achieved its goal—a goal sought since 1944. It de
feated Penn State, 20-19. '
Some 25,000 spectators saw Coach Hip Engle’s gridders
outplay the nationally ranked Mountaineers for three periods,
but lose on two controversial plays.
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.
Co-captain Tony Rados, who
outpassed Wyant, completed 16
passes out of 27 attempts for a
.593 average and 239 yards, set
ting a new Penn State record in
that department. It topped his
previous record of 192 yards
against Purdue last year.
The first tally of the game didn’t
come until ten minutes of the
first quarter. With second down
and 12 yards to go for a first
down, Wyant completed a pass to
right end, Bill Marker who caught

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. Starting with
victories in the final two meets
bn last season’s schedule' the
Lions now have won five in a,■
row.

Sports Editor Sam Procopio
held his slim four-game lead Sat
urday. as the Daily Collegian foot- j
ball prediction contest moved in
to the home stretch. Procopio
picked 13 games right from the
15-game list to boost his percent
age to .766.
The second place position
changed hands however, with As
sistant Sports Editor Dick Mc-
Dowell taking over that spot, held
previously by the Penn State
football coaches. The grid bosses
dropped into a third place tie
with Staff writer Herm Weiskopf.
McDowell, who slipped to third
place last Saturday, was correct
on 13 choices this week, raising
his percentage to .722. He is four
games behind Procopio.
The coaches, who have had their
ups and downs this season, drop
ped to third place when Rip
Engle selected only nine games
correctly. That deadlocked the
Nittany staff with Weiskopf who
also picked 13 winners. Both have
.688 percentages.
The coaches had appeared to be
making a determined bid for the
mythical championship last week
when they moved into second
place. However, they are still
only seven games out of the num
ber one spot with three weeks to
go in the contest.
