D CIV Bailey, Moore Pace U (Continued from page one) State’s second touchdown after he had passed 28 yards to Jesse Arneile for the first Lion score. In all, the Lions outgained the Illini by 119 yards. From end. to end the Penn State line was murderous. Only Jan Smid, the Illinois captain could cope with it to any degree— and that was very little. Tackle Rosev himself at home in the Illini baekfield all afternoon and on several occas ions Jesse Arnelle and' Jim Gar rity, swamped quarterback Em Lindbeck on attempted pass p’ays The difference in the score, however, was accounted for by Garrity who booted 17 placements last season. The Lion co-captain made both of his PAT attempts while both Caroline and Woodson were unsuccessful. However, the Lions were going for their third touchdown at the end of the game and probably could have scored, had they chos en to gamble. The ball rested on the Illinois five at the final gun. lllini Hit Fast The lllini struck with stunning swiftness early in the first quar ter after Lindbeck intercepted Bobby Hoffman’s pass on the Illi nois 35 and returned it to the Lion 31. Caroline ripped off left tackle for seven yards and Bates added three for a first down. Woodson picked up three more through left tackle. With the ball resting on the left side of the field, Lindbeck faded to pass with the entire Penn State line chasing him. He fired a screen pass to Woodson on the left and the speedy right half back, who scored both Illinois touchdowns, sped 28 yards be hind a wave of blockers for the touchdown. Caroline’s conversion attempt was wide and Illinois led, 6-0. Lions Rebound However, before the quarter ended the Nittanies rebounded in to the lead. After an exchange of punts following the kickoff, the Lions moved the ball to the Illi nois, 34. On the next play Smid, who was just about the entire lllini defense, intercepted a Bail ey pass and ran it to the 28. However, on the next play, Bates was shattered by the mid dle of the Penn State line and fumbled, Amelle fell on the ball and the Lions were back in busi ness. Moore tried the line twice for four yards and on the third down Bailey pin-pointed Arnelle in the left corner of the endzone for the Lions’ first score. Garrity converted and Penn State took a lead that was to be later threat ened but never headed. Second Niiiany Score In the second period Engle’s squad exploded with lightning suddenness for its second touch down. Late in the period Ron Younker took Lindbeck’s punt on the Lion 10 and returned it to the 26. On the first play • from scrim mage, Bailey—a master of decep tion all afternoon broke off tackle on the “keep” play of En gle’s split-T optional series.

The Lion speedster picked his way through several would-be tacklers and in to the endzone for the touchdown. Garrity’s second placement made it 14-6. Illinois Not Through But the lllini were not through. They received the opening kick off in the second half and began a sustained drive from their 23 that netted them a touchdown in 11 plays. With Woodson and Caro line providing the groundwork and Lindbeck hitting through the air, they marched to the Penn State 17. Then Woodson slipped off left tackle and cut back through a maze of Penn State de fenders (for the touchdown. Bob TViman’s placement bounced off the cross bar and the Lions still held a 14-12 lead. Moments after (the score a Penn State fumble gave the Illini the ball again and it looked as if the Nittanies were in for more trou ble. However, Engle’s line—which rose .to the occasion many times Saturday—stiffened and held. Il linois eventually had to punt. From that point on the Lions had complete control. Illinois made one bid in the fourth period but it was quickly snuffed out when Moore intercepted a Lind bacjc pass. ATT ENT! ON!!!
