Engle Hopes to Bolster

in an attempt to strengthen his; alternate unit defense, Penn State Coach Rip Engle is
resuming his temporarily sidetracked expt-rin_ent of using sophc,more center Earl Kohl
bass at left guard.
The move obvicusly came shout after apparent defensive weaknesses in Engle's al
ternate unit were readily noticed in the Penn game. Quaker Coach Steve Sebo switched to

PENN STATE-PENN RECOLLECTIONS
Many Penn State fans were somewhat surprised, to put it mildly,
to see the Lions walk off Franklin Field Saturday only a Eve-point
victor over the Pennsylvania Quakers, 19-14. '`What happened?",
"V.'llat was the matter?", "Was Penn that good or was Penn State
holding off for Army?" ... they're typical of some of the questions
being, tossed around the postgame air.
After a little thought and a little talk with the coaches, we ar
rived at the following opinions concerning the grid squad and the
Penn game.
First, fans now finally'realize that Coach Rip Engle wasn't
fooling when he gloomily prophesied that his team still had much
work to do before it reached its potentiaL If nothing else. the
Penn game proved that the Lions axe still weak at some spots—
notably the alternate unit defense. Engle and staff are taking steps
to remedy this we feel by midseason that the Lion will he
fielding two very adequate units—after actual game experience
has begun to make itself felt. especially among the sophomores.
Second, Penn was not the pushover it was rated to be. As Jess
Abramson of the "New York Herald Tribune" commented in the
press box during the game: "This is Penn's.best team in four years,
easily . . Penn will do all right in the Ivy League." This is oh
so true. In our humble opinion, Penn's advantage of having one
scrimmage under its belt was one reason. for their impressive show
ing.
Another factor to consider is one brought out by Ridge Rielly
in his weekly edition of the "Alumni .News." ". . . our principle
barriers were psychological ones (referring to the Lion preseason
rating) . . . The fact remains, the Pennsylvanians had• everything
,to gain and were 'up'. We were not." Penn wanted the upset and
fought hard to get it. The contest was never in. serious doubt,
however.
And finally, it was the feeling of the press row that the Liana,
were playing Army Saturday. This we disagree with- They may
• have been thinking about . Army a bit but they did not overlook
Penn—Army wasn't on their minds when the ball game started.
Which leads us to this conclusion: The Penn game was a good
tonic for Penn State. It knocked any cockiness--if the Lions had any
L—out of their system. Penn is a game to build from . . . mistakes,
;and there were mistakes against the Quakers, can be corrected.
N,Nle , venture to say they will be.
So don't be disheartened, fans. The Lions didn't romp but they're
not dead ducks for Army. In fact, it we were'betting, we'd be laying
:our gold on Penn State—no prejudice there, either.
