FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11.1985
Penn State Sports—
ON the
LINE
We've heard several people say this past week—as the Lions
prCpared for Rutgers—that Coach Rip Engle had finally found him
self a quarterback after experimenting for six weeks.
We say, instead, that Engle's quarterback found himself.
Against Penn. Milt Plum indicated that the potential was
there, and that the blossoming stage' was just around the corner.
The Lion coaching staff spotted it. and we're waiting for it.
During the first quarter while Syracuse and halfback Jim
Brown were stacking up a 7-0 lead, we felt a lineup change at
quarterback should come—and the sooner the better. We, along
with many others who watched that first quarter and squirmed in
their seats waiting for Engle to make his move,
,were wrong.
Penn State's coaches were waiting for Plum to come through.
They knew he could do it after watching him engineer a 64,-yard
TD play against the Quakers that was capped by four passes—
\good for a total of SI yards.
Against Syracuse? Well, Engle says: "Plum called a good game,
passed well, and his defensive play was absolutely sensational.
"If, as I believe, Plum found himself against Syracuse, our
quarterback troubles are ended."
• •
And what of this fellow who carried for 145 yards to push
him from nowhere to number 14 in the nation in ground gaining.
While Engle still insisted that the come-from-behind win was
a team effort, not even the head coach would deny that Lenny
Moore's return to 1954 form made a big difference.
He carried 22 times (more often than he had in any game
in his previous college career) and chalked up 145 yards. It was
second only to his 171 yards collected last year against Rutgers.
"Lenny played a remarkably good game. It was just about
the best game I have seen him play. He workbd for every yard
he made," Engle said.
•
STRAUS TOO—
Mid there's the amiable • fellow—except on the gridiron—by
the name of Buck Straub who did his share in trampling through
the Syracuse line when those all-important, tough-to-get gains of
one, three, four, and six or seven yards had to be picked up.
He was second on the Lion squad with 62 yards on the ground
in 14 carries.
Right half Bill Kane makes up the fourth member of Engle's
quartel• that-has the stuff to give Rutgers and Pitt .a tough grind.
He carried only once against the Orange for five; in the past, how
ever, he has been a consistent running mate for Moore, and a favo
rite receiver for Lion passes.
Look out Rutgers. Look out Pitt. Amen
I • • • • •
OH?-r-
Seems as though Carl Hughes, Pittsburgh Press sports writer
noticed the scoreboard lights were all off after the game—except
for the ones that, read -21-20. That's nothing. We strolled up to
Beaver Field Sunday a.m. and they were STILL on.
Our friend, Alumni correspondent Ridge Riley says that Hal
Byers, scoreboard operator knew nothing of it, but-hinted that no
one particularly , cared if THAT score stayed on the board until
the Pitt game.
TIM Ice Show Plans

William Norman, publicity
chairman for Town Independent

discussed the 'possibility of an

ATTENTION
Lion Booters Test Owls Tomorrow
By FRAN FANUCCI
Probably the most signifi
cant item in tomorrow's soc
cer game between the Nittany
Lions and the Temple Owls
will be revenge.
Tomorrow's game will begin
at 2 p.m. on the soccer field
adjacent to the Beaver Field
football stands.
In last year's game between the
two perennial soccer powerhouses,
the Lion booters . snapped Tem
ple's 19-game winning streak and
also its bid for an undefeated sea
son, when they scored a close 1-0
win.
The year before, in 1953, the
Owls shut out the Nittanies 2-0
to hand them their second loss
of the season.
Lion IC4-A Runners Selected
For the first time since he has been Penn State's cross-country coach, Chick Werner will
not enter a full team—a minimum of five men—in the East's annual post-season hill and dale
classic, the IC4-A tourney.
Werner yesterday selected Captain Doug Moorhead and junior Don Woodrow as the
only two varsity entries in Monday's mammoth Intercollegiate Association of Amateur
Athletics meet in New York's spacious Van Cortlandt Park.
However, a battery of Nittany
Lion freshman runners, the nu
cleus of the Lions' all-winning
1955 first-year team, will vie for
frosh honors in Monday's dis
tance-running festival.
Frosh Runners Named
Freshman coach Norm Gordon
has named Ed Mora n, Bob
Thompson, Fred Kerr, Charlie
King, Clem Schoenebeck, Sam
Sherva, and Bill Kirby to com
pose the freshman aggregation
which will test the East's best
freshmen.
In summing up his charges'
chances, Gordon said last night,
"We're ready as we'll ever be."
Werner earlier supported Gor
don's comment by saying, "This
year we have a very fine fresh
man team."
Gordon singled out a sextet of
eastern freshman powers Man
hattan, Pitt, St. Josephs of Phila
delphia, St. Johns of New York,
Syracuse, and Harvard —he ex
pects to throw the strongest oppo
sition at his yearlings.
Has Some of the Best
Moorhead, a consistent runner
. for the Nittanies for the past
three seasons, has turned in num
erous fine performances this year,
but at the same time has been
running against some of the best
individuals the nation's collegiate
ranks have to offer.
He has managed second place
in each of the Lions five dual
meets, and Woodrow has been a
consistent finisher among the first
five.
-Will Meet Some Foes
Werner chooses Michigan State,
Manhattan, Pitt, and Cornell—
four of Penn State's five 1955 dual
meet opponents—as the favorites
for Monday's team championship.
Since Penn State is entering
only two runners in the varsity
competition, it will not be eligi
ble for the IC4-A team trophy.
The duo will be vying' for indi
vidual honors only.

And this year the charges of
Ken Hosterman are sporting a
111-game winning streak—a rec
ord the Owls would Ii k • to
break more than anything else
during the season.
So, if past scores are indica
tive of what's in store for tomor
row, both the Lions and the Owls
will be ift for one of their rough
est games of the '55 campaign.
Hosterman has been putting
his players through heavy drills
this week in an effort to have
everyone in top condition.
But one thing the Lion mentor
has to worry about is a letdown.
After beating Navy 3-1 on Tues
day, the booters could possibly
be a little down for the game;
although, in the past the Temple
game has always been foremost
m their minds.

TURTLEBAR RAID
i! In Turtletown, Pa., there's a nightspot called the
.TURTLEBAR. This is really a wild place; they
!1i serve the best Turtle Cocktails I've ever tasted and
let me tell you, those females I saw there were
!!! really out of this world.
!;! There was • a big name band there called the
Turtletones and they were featuring two dancing
I!, girls called the Turtlettes. Humans, they sure knew
- how to dance and they they came out of their shells,
the whole place started to move.
All of a sudden bells started to ring, girls started
i ll to run half of them crawling out of the windows,
lit guys started to ight, but I played it cool—l stayed
under my table. Then in ran the Turtlepolice.
Simply because I refused to testify against the
Turtlettes I was bawled out, bawled up, held up
and held down, bulldozed, blackjacked, walked on,
II cheated, squeezed, mooched, and darn near trimmed
and ruined.
I immediately jumped into my Turtlemobile and
got back to State College as soon as I could. !
Nat
urally I went right to the Finer Diner ... my nerves
were shattered and I just needed a place to relax
and get something good to eat. You should come
down there too . . . all your friends will be there
so come on down and join the rest of the gang!
