LOOK WHO’S RUNNlNG—Linebacker Charley Ruslavage (67) picked off one q: te six intercep
tions against Boston University and starts to ramble (for a short distance). Ruslavage claimed Cen
ter Wayne Berfield “took the ball right out of my hands" earlier in the game and ran it back 98
yards for the longest interception run in Lion history.

Win
(Continued from page one)
Lions chalked up 393 net yards
and five touchdowns. Lucas per
sonally accounted for 57 of those
yards and two TDs.
In fact, the junior quarterback’s
faking was so brilliant that sev
eral times the cameras followed
the wrong man as the real Lion
ball carrier weaved through the
BU secondary for good yardage.
And Lucas’ defensive play was
outstanding too, including a pass
interception which setup the
Lions’ fourth touchdown.
Bui Lucas' acting was only
one of many outstanding per
formances. Sam Sobczak, just a
beginner in the TV racket, was
another oi the stars. Sobczak,
who had. been an understudy
to Pat Botula and Andy Mo
conyi until last week's Mar
quette tilt, emerged as the
Lions' leading ground gainer
with 74 yards in 15 carries.
The Nittany sophomore scored
the first Penn State TD with a
two-yard dive over right guard.
That score came the first time the
Lions had the ball as they drove
69 yards in -14 plays. Sobczak
picked up almost half of those
yards (33) during that drive.
There were other standouts
such as Bruce Gilmore (60 yards

Schleicher, Wayne Berfield and
many, many more. As Engle said,
“It was a great team effort.’’
Berfield, a so-called second
team center, provided the stu
dio audience of 11,000 and thou
sands of TV viewers with the
drama's top thrill, when he
raced 98 yards down the left
sideline with an intercepted
pass for fhe Lions' third TD.
It was the longest interception
run in Penn State history.
That interception, only one of
six made by the alert Penn State
defense, broke the backs of the
BU crew. The score was 13-0 at
the time, but the Terriers were
rebounding for a seemingly un
avoidable TD. In seven plays they
drove from their own 30-yard

on Bud Kohlhaas (60) at the left
line to Penn State’s 10. But then
Berfield grabbed the Jim Gir
ouard aerial—and the rest is his
tory.
With the exception of that drive
in the second quarter, BU was
never in the game. They couldn't
get much of an attack started
and when they would show some
sign of opening-up, the Lions
would close the door with an
interception.
Penn State tallied the first two
times it had the ball. Sobczak
scored that first TD and Lucas
counted the second on a one-yard
sneak with 15 seconds left in the
first quarter. That score followed
an 80-yard Lion march which
featured the running of Sobczak
(29 yards) and Gilmore (30 yards).

lion Line Ate Us Up'
Moans Terrier's Coach
“We just couldn’t match them on that line,” a dejected
Steve Sinko said in the Boston University locker room after
seeing his Terriers wallopped by Penn State, 34-0, Saturday
afternoon.
“That line ate us up,” the BU headmaster continued.
‘‘They literally ate us up. We
were never in the ball game
“But we’re not as bad as we
looked. Why?—l don’t know. We
played good games against Navy
and West Virginia, but we couldn’t
go the third week in a row.
"W© sure picked a good time
io look bad," he added sarcas
tically, "with television and
all that.” „
Sinko emphatically denied there
was a turning point in the game.
“I wish I could say there was a
turning point,” the ex-Duquesne
star said, “but I can’t do it. We
just didn't have it. We had a bad
day and they had a good day.
However, I don’t think they
would beat us that bad again—
and maybe they wouldn't beat us
at all.’’
Asked to compare Penn State
with West Virginia and Navy,
Sinko said: "I think they're a
lot better than West Virginia,
but I wouldn't say they were
better than Navy.” Navy beat
the Boston boys, 28-14, but
West Virginia lost, 36-30.
Emo DiNitto, one of the Terrier
quarterbacks, disagreed with his
coach. “I think Penn State is a
better team than Navy,” the pint
sized signal-caller said, “but West

Virginia would give them a rough
time.
“They (Penn State) had a real
good running attack,” DiNitto
added, “especially (Sam) Sobczak.
And that Lucas was terrific.”
BU tackle Bob Minihane's
sentiments wele practically the
same as DiNitto's. ’T don't
know about Navy/.' he said,
"but I -don't think they can
beat West Virginia."
Another gent who witnessed
the donnybrook a guy by the
name of Red Grange—also agreed
that Penn State’s forward wall
deserved credit for the victory.
Grange handled the color de
scription for NBC-TV which tele
vised the contest regionally.
“That line played a great
game,” the famous Galloping
Ghost said. “A team is just as
good as its line and State’s line
was great.
"Thai’s whv Auburn, has im
pressed me the most this sea

ican added. "They have a big
and fast line—it's one of the
biggest college lines I have
ever seen."
