WEDNESDAY. OCTO c, ; ;• s 'Q4 - _.T.4 ,--1411011111 k :T RANDOM NOTES ON PENN STATE-WILLIAM & MARY: Assistant Coach Joe Paterno probably took the most philosophical outlook on the Penn State-William & Mary football game Satur day afternoon at Beaver Field—especially after the Lions entered the fourth quarter trailing the Indians, 13-7. Before the quarter started, Paterno said to cohort Earl Bruce: "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Now we'll find out if we have a football team." In the Penn State locker room after the game, Paterno verified this. "That's right," he said. That was the time for us to see if we could take hold and rise to the occasion or just be another football team. We're awfully happy that we had kids who rose to the occasion." We agree. That was the time for the coaches, and fans alike, to see if the Lions had it. Saturday they did. A loss to W&M would have almost certainly killed most hopes for better things to come. But, with the win there's hope ... and we feel the hopes will or will not be justified come Vanderbilt or_Syracuse. This team is better than it has shown to date and is due to explode some day. As Paterno put it: "At least we know we have a football team. Now we need to find out just how g o odo it is." We feel that the next two weeks Should be good indications of the answer. Indian Coach Milt Drewer didn't seem to be overly-disappointed over the loss. In facj, he was very pleased with his team's per formance. "We lost, that's all," he said when asked his feelings on the ballgame. "Our boys played as hard as they know how . . . it was certainly our best ballgame to date. We just couldn't stop Penn State when they got fired up . . . they're the best ballclub we've faced all year—and that includes Navy." Drewer felt that the loss of his star halfback Charlie - Sidwell for the first half hurt his team, but not enough to change the complexion of the ballgame. Sidwell, who is being boomed for all-America honors is recuperating from the flu. He played most of the thrid quarter and almost half of the fourth. During that time, however, he definitely showed that, he was the best individual back on the field. In six carries, he gained 30 yards—not bad for somebody just recovering from the flu: And if you think that a football coach isn't occupied during a game, just ask Rip Engle and he'll tell you different. And rightly so beoeuse Rip's Dad, Mr. Irvin J. Engle, an 81-year old football fan, was seated on the Penn State bench and Rip didn't even see him .. . or else he didn't realize it until after the game. Coaches have far fr - om the easiest jobs around. •When the game was over, the senior Engle was probably one of the happiest individuals in the stadium. Partly because of the win and partly because of the outstanding band day performance at halftime. "He certainly got a kick out of thOse bands," Engle said. Rip said his Dad was looking for Earl Hewitt, the 71-year old hero of the Lions' only win over Army. But, Mr. Hewitt was not at the game— could it be that he was in Philadelphia rooting for Notre Dame to beat the Cadets? If so, his cheers did not go in vain. Spartans Top AP Poll By The Associated Press Michigan State University moved into the top spot in The Associated Press collegiate foot ball poll this week. Michigan' State nosed Okla homa out of the No. 1 spot a year ago after walloping Notre Dame 47-14. But the next week the Sooners blanked the Irish 40-0 and bounced bahk up again while Michigan State was being upset 20-13 by Illinois. The nation's sports writers and broadcasters dropped Oklahoma, which had been first ever since that one week a year ago, down to No. 2 after the Sooners had to struggle to win their 43rd straight - . i i i i i i iiiiiiiiiii i iiiii ii i PROBLEM? .................. -::„....t.........: :::i.:*. : : : ig i u., : : Too busy to breathe?!

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Four Play American athletes are known for their proficiency in sports. But, when it comes to soccer, they usually play a minor role in comparison to the foreign born element. This has been'espeeially true at Penn State where foreign-born ;players have been instrumental in the winning success of the Lion hooters. This year is no exception. There :are no less than four foreign iborn athletes holding key posi tions on the Nitt!ny eleven, in cluding Per Torgeson, Penn ;State's. second team all-America forward last fall.
