Holy Cross Defense
Rated 7th in Nation
One of the best defensive teams
in the nation will invade Beaver
Field tomonow when Penn State
meet , : Holy Cio , s.
Because of the passing wizzardy
of their quarterback Tom Greene,
the defensive proficiency of the
Crusaders is not generally known.
But according to this week's
NCAA grid statistics, the Worces
ter, Mass , eleven is seventh in
the country in total defense.
In six games, Holy Cross has
given up just 1174 yards for an
average of 195.7 yards per game.
This figure also puts the Cru
saders among the top Eastern
defensive clubs—fourth to be
exact.
As to other Eastern defensive
statistics, the Crusaders rank fifth
in both ruAing defense and pass
ing defense. They have limited
foes to 732 yards on the ground
(122-yards per game) and 442
yards through the air (73.7-yards
average). Only 38 of 107 passes
have been completed against
Holy Cross while 14 have been
intercepted.
Offensiv(ly, the Crusaders are
third in passing—mainly because
of Greene. They have completed
50 of 155 aerials for a .435 per
centage, 863 yards and four touch
downs. Greene, who himself ranks
third in the East's individual pass
ing statistics, has been responsible
for 814 yards and three TDs on
48 of 102 passes.
Greene's favorite receiver has
been three-year regular Dave
Stecchi, who is the fifth beat
receiver in the East. Stecchi has
grabbed 15 aerials for 258 yards
and one TD. Su! he has played
in only six games, whereas the
other top Eastern receivers have
had at least seven outings.
Stecchi caught seven of those
passes in last Saturday's game
against Colgate. Before that, half
back Ken Hohi had been the Cru
saders' top receiver, catching
eight passes for 147 yards.
Halfback Ed Hayes, fullback
Joe Stagnone and end Charlie
Pacunas are other "good receiv
ers," according to Penn State
backfield coach Frank Patrick
who scouted the Crusaders.
"They're not only good re
ceivers," Patrick said, "but also
good runners. They run very
well and have fairly good speed.
"That Stagnone Is the work
hone of the ball club." Patrick
added. "He's a very hard run
ner and their leading ground
gainer."
Stagnone, a two-year letter
man, had gained 175 yards on 46
carries before last week's Col
gate affair for a 3.8-yards average
per trip, Hob! was second with
138 yards on 33-- - tims for 3.73
yards per carry:-

Cadets Allow 1 Goal Per Game
Army Soccer Team
Strong on Defense
Coach Joe Palone's Army soccer team will provide the
opposition tomorrow morning at Beaver Field as the Nittany
hooters close out their 195 a home campaign.
The Black Knights of the Hudson are in the midst of a
rebuilding season but nevertheless they carry a respectable
2-1-4 record into tomorrow's game.
Army's two wins have come
over Ithaca and Pitt while their
only loss came at the hands of
Yale. They have tied Colgate;
M.1.T., Brockport S.T.C., and Cort
land S.T.C. Incidentally, the Lions
beat Colgate earlier in the season,
Lion coach Kenny Hosterman
expects the cadets to give his
Lions a tough lime. "Now that
Joe (Palone) is back Army will
probably revert back to playing
a rough type of game." said
Hosterman.
Palone has been missing from
the Army soccer scene for the
last three years due to other
coaching duties. His teams were
noted for their "rock and roll"
style of play. "Army doesn't play
dirty, they just play a lot rougher
brand of soccer than most schools
do," said Hosterman.
Army's strongpoint lies in its
defense. The cadet defense has
allowed only eight goals in sev
en games this year. Palone rates
senior halfback Ray Baugh as the
top defensive standout. Baugh is

a two-year letterman who has
seen a lot of action at halfback
in the last two years.
Fred Daniloff the right half
back is another topnotcher, ac
cording to Palone. With these
two at halfback, and Captain Fred
Manzi, in the Army goal and let
terman Hank Watson at fullback
the Cadets boast a pretty good
defense.
Army has not beaten Penn
State since 1954 when Palone
was last at the helm of the Ca
dets. Last year the Lions beat
the Cadets, 4-1, at West Point.
