Booters Blast Temple, 8-2
More Headaches for Engle
Paolone, Bohart,
Hampered by Injuries
That old injury jinx which has been plaguing Penn State's grid team all season
returned to the Lions' Den this week. ,
For when the opening whistle blows for the Holy Cross game at Beaver Field Sat
urday, three regulars will probably find themselves on the sidelines. All were hurt in the
14-14 tie with West Virginia over the weekend.
Right tackle Joe Bohart, who
has been handicapped since the
Nebraska opener with ankle and
shoulder injuries, pulled a couple
of ligaments in his left knee;
right halfback Bucky Paolone
sprained his right ankle; and left
end John Bozick sprained his
neck.
All three will be missing from'
the Lions' starting lineup this'
week, but Paolone and Bozick
are expected to see some action.
Both have been running through,
light drills this week. Bohart i
hasn't worked out yet this week,
but according to Coach Rip En
gle "he may be ready" by Sat
urday.
However, the injured trio's)
probable replacements could al-'
so be classified as "regulars" since
each has started at least one game
this year. Soph—

Kerr, in f.%y
might have been
given the start- Botta(
ing nod even without Paolone's
injury. lle was one of the stars
in last Saturday's West Virginia
game both offensively and de
fensively—sewing a TD, gaining
38 yards in seven carries, and in
tercepting two passes.
With Gilmour, Kerr and Neff
moving up, Engle will have to
make a couple of changes in his
alternate unit. This will probably
find sophomore Dave Alexander
behind Neff, sophomore Don Jon
as behind Kerr, and either of two
junior s—John Sava or Chuck
Janerette—fol low ing G ilmour.
Just for the record, here is

Talk in the Penn State locker room Saturday afternoon
following the Lions' disappointing 14-14 deadlock with rival
West Virginia centered around two subjects—fumbles and
penalties.
They were only natural
fumbling and penalties whi
Nittanies lost the ball six times
on hobbles and NVere penalized
for 85 yards, including one dis-
asterous 15-yard holding penalty
which cost sophomore Dick Hoak,
an 80-yard. TD run.
"I can't understand why we ally
fumbled," said halfback Dave
Kasperian, who experienced one '
of his most heartbreaking clays ,
as a ball carrier. Kasperian fum
bled twice against the Mounties'
and both miscues came inside the'
West Virginia 5-yard line.
"I didn't have a good hold
on the ball the first time I
fumbled (on the one-yard line),"
Kasperian said. "And the sec
ond time. the ball hit me on
the chest. The hole was there
and I could have gone over but
I dropped it.
"I can't understand it," the 26-
year-old ex-paratrooper said, "we
pushed them all over the field
and still we couldn't win."
Bucky Paolone, who was also
the victim of two , fumbles, felt
as disheartened as Kaspei ian.
"That was the worst game I
shave ever played in my life,"
Paolone said. "I was tense from
ithe start and I don't know why.
iMaybe the tenseness had some
ithing to do with my fumbling. I
(don't know what's wrong with
me. Up until the Syracuse game
I couldn't remember the last time
I had fumbled. Now, I've dropped
the ball four times in the last
three games. '
Someone wondered if the
change in footballs accounted
for the fumbling, The Lions had
used a Spalding-made pigskin
in its first seven games, but a
Wilson-made football was used
Saturday.
"I think it was a little slippery.

opics since it was the Lions
h cost them a victory. The
but not that much," first team
quarterback Richie Lucas said.
"We had been practicing all week
with that type of ball so we should
have been used to it. Besides, if
you can't play with another type
of ball, then, you're not really a
football player."
"That's right," echoed alternate
,quarterback Al Jacks, who was
standing nearby. "I can't under
', stand what happened. If one guy
had fumbled, it would be dif
ferent. But when everyone f urn
hies . what can you do? I don't
remember them ever stopping us
except when we stopped our
selves on a fumble."
Captain Steve Garban offered
a comment on the Lion penal
ties. "I never had a penalty
called, on me in my life before
today," said the NiWay center.
"And I had 30 yards called
against me today. I was the
one who was caught for hold
ing on Dick Hoak's long run—
and to be truthful, I'm not sure
whether I was holding or not.
I sure feel bad about it though."
Movies of the game show Gar
ban's "holding" penalty could
have been called either way by}
the officials. "That was one of,
those calls that could be made,
on almost every play," backfield
coach Joe Paterno said. "It was'
so close. But I guess that goes
along with the rest of the bad
breaks we've been having."
Garban also-had another com
ment on the game—perhaps the
most significant of all.
"It's disgusting," the die-hard
captain said. "After a game we
think we were 2 or 3 touchdowns
better than the other team, but
we never seem to win. We sure
have been a hard luck team."
Lions Break 'Road Jinx'
As Miller, Fiedler Star
Being that Owls are primarily night birds, maybe Temple
University should play its soccer games at night. For yester
day the Owls played an afternoon home game against the
Penn State soccer team and lost, 8-2.
By winning, the Lions snapped a three-game road losing
streak. * *
Gary Miller, playing his first
game at center forward this sea
son, led the Lion offense as it
broke a 2-2 game wide open with
six goats in the last quarter.
Miller scored one goal and had
four assists in the fourth quarter
rally. "Gary really played a swell
game," said Lion coach Kenny
Hosterman. "His passing and
playmaking were a deciding fac
tor in the outcome of the game."
Miller's passing wasn't ;the
only important factor in the
Lion win. So were the three
goals scored by inside right
Bill Fiedler. It was Fiedler who
broke the scoring deadlock
when he notched his eighth
goal of the season with six- min
utes gone in the fourth stanza.
This started 'the Lions on a
goal parade that didn't stop un
til the 17 minute mark.
The Nittanies sandwiched five
other goals in the eleven minute
span. After Fiedler's goal, Pete
Wadsworth tallied at 11:15. Fied
ler scored again at 13:20 and Gary
Miller tallied again a minute
later. Fiedler netted his third
goal at 16:30 and Pete Wadsworth
finished the Owls with his second
score a minute later.
, Fiedler now leads the Lions in
the goal department with ten
,while Gary Miller. Pete Wads
'worth and Mike Stollmeyer are
tied for second with four goals
apiece.
'The first half was a com
pletely different story. It was
close all the way with the Lions
leading, 2-1 at halftime. Miller
and Mike Stollmeyer scored
Penn States only goals in the
first half.
Inside right Billy Charlton,
who Hosterman rated as Temple's
top performer, stored the Owl's
first period goal. Skippy Kel
logg's third period goal was the
only other Temple tally.
As soon as the second half
started, the Lions took control of
the ball. They took 23 ,hots in
the third period but couldn't
score. As fate would have it, Tem
ple got hold of the ball for just a
short time and they managed to
tie the game. But then came the
Lions big fourth quarter.
According to Hosterman. all
his changes turned out for the
good. "Miller scored two goals
and had tour assists, Howie
Maierhofer turned in a solid
i performance after missing the
first six games because of a
broken ankle and Larry Fegley

turned in a topnotch gains in
his first start in our goal."
The booters now have a 4-3 rec
ord. All three losses came when
they played at West Chester,
Maryland and Navy. The Lions
have beaten Colgate, Bucknell,
Syracuse and now the Owls.
Only two games remain on the
Lion schedule. Saturday morn
ing they play Army at Beaver
Field and on Nov. 22 they travel
to Pitt to meet the Panthers.
