SYRACUSE COACHES PROVEN WRONG!
One minute and 49 seconds remained on the scoreboard clock in
Syracuse's Archbold Stadium and Lion Coach Rip Engle in a last
ditch attempt to salvage a win inserted quarterback Milt Plum into
the lineup.
Up in the press box, watching the proceedings as an Orange
spotter, was assistant coach Roy Simmons. When Simmons noticed
Plum walking on the field he immediately began to shout into the
ief Id phones: "He's not supposed to be in there. Get the attention of
the referee. He's not supposed to be in there."
Head coach Ben Schwartzwalder followed the instructions and
complained to the referee, causing the Lions to get penalized 15
yards (it appeared to this writer as if it were a 16-yard penalty)
and losing any chance of getting the ball.
Engle protested violently hut his pleas were unheeded. Many
writers in the press box though Engle had pulled a "Woody Hayes"
because he was too excited, and one metropolitan paper accused
Engle of blundering badly.
But yesterday when the films were shown it was evident that
the Syracuse coaches and the officials were a fault and Engle was
deserving of an apology for being accused unmercifully of being
dishonest."
The usually mild mannered Engle said yesterday "I'm not going
to be the brunt of somebody else's mistakes. The movies prove I was
right."
Engle added: "Instead of calling us and verifying Plum's
eligibility they called us liars and cheats. I was willing to bet $lOOO
that I was right and I'm still willing to wager that amount:'
Syracuse was apparently on guard against any illegal substitutes
that the Lions would use :since West Virginia Coach Art Lewis and
Army Coach Earl Blaik both complained about the Lions' illegal
substituting during games.
But Engle said that the films prove that Plum wasn't inserted
illegally during the West Virginia game.
At the Army game Engle said he asked for a "dead" bench, but
was refused, consequently causing a mix up of players on the side
lines. "A couple of our boys were illegally substituted in that game,"
Engle said, "but it was not premeditated. It was just an honest mis
take and I am sorry it happened."
Engle appeared bitter over the fact that the integrity of him
self, his assistants, and team was questioned after the game.
"I would make no comment were it not that my integrity and
the integrity of my team have been questioned," Engle said. "I want
to say unqualifiedly that anyone who suggests the illegal substi
tution is a strategy we employ to gain an advantage is speaking
withotit regard for the truth . .
Since Engle has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he
is right it should be unexcusable for the Syracuse coaching staff not
to write a public letter of apology.
STILL HOPE FOR COTTON
lost to Syracuse I still think that
we have a club which would fare
better against southwestern oppo
sition than Syracuse.
The Lions have a more versatile
team. They boast a powerful de
fense, a smooth running offense,
a fire passing attack, and one of
the best pass defenses in the coun
try. On the other hand. Syracuse
has one thing—a ground attack,
which was not that much more
potent than the Lions'.
If the Lions win their last
three games I don't think the
Cotton Bowl commiitees should
overlook them for I think in the
long run we will prove the bet
ter team. (Remember the 1953
Cotton Bowl?)
