Statistics Prove
Lion Backs Lack
Statistics can be funny at times. But, in the case of the
Penn State football team, they prove a point that Coach
Rip Engle has been trying to make for the past two weeks
—the Lions lack speed and a breakaway runner.
- A look at the Lions' two-game statistics show that half
back Dave Kasperian is the team's leading ground gainer
with .100 net yards in 26 carries * * *
—an average of 3.9 yards again.
A look fiirther down the sta
tistic ladder makes the point
even more obvious. Bucky Pao
lone, right halfback on the. al
ternate unit, is second in rush
ing with 56 yards in 12 carries
—29 of those yards coming on a
run against Penn, which. inci
dentally, is the longest single
effort on the 1957 record. He is
averaging 4.7 yards a carry.
Halfback Andy Moconyi and
fullback Emil "Babe" Caprara fol
low very closely, with Caprara
holding a one-yard advantage, 51-
50. Both backs have carried the
ball 15 times. -
Actually, Moconyi' has gained
57 yards in those carries. But, he
has "lost seven yards for a net
gain of 50 while Caprara has yet
to lose any yardage. Caprara is
averaging 3.4 yards per carry
while Moconyi's average is 3.3.
The remainder of the rushing
lineup reads: 'Bruce Gilmore, 34
yards in 12 carries; Al Jacks, 23
yards in 10 carries; and Maurice
Schleicher, 11 yards -in three car
ries. The yardage given is the
total net gain. The picture is far
from dismal, but it Certainly
proves Engle's point.
Passing statistics prove to be a
bit brighter. Jacks, who, because
of his passing accuracy and field
generalship, has monopolized the
quarterbacking assignment for the
most part, has a creditable record
to show for his first two games.
In 45 passing attempts, he has
completed 24 for a r . q percen
tage and a gain of z,5 yard
-95 yards shy of the Lions' total
rushing yardage of 340. He has
only twa interceptions against
him and has thrown two touch
down paises.
In pass receiving, four players
are tied for the leadership in
receptions—C dp rdr a; Moconyi,
and ends Jack Farls and Les Wal
ters. Each has five to his credit.
Walters, however, has caught
passes for the most yardage-92---
including an 18 yard touchdown
pass against Army. Moconyi fol
lows with 56 yards with Falls
next with 41 and one touchdown
—a two-yarder against Penn. Cap
rara follows with 33. _
