lized 15-yards for illegal proce
dure when Hoak, whom Koch
man had just replaced, was sent
back into the game, and the ball
was moved back to the 19. Lu
cas then hit Henry Opperman
with a 14-yard pass. Lucas went
over for the score on the next
play.
Army came storming back in
the third period and scored at
8:17 on a pass play from Cald
well to George Kirschenbauer.
Caldwell then passed to half
back Roger Zailskas for the ex
tra point and the Lion lead was
cut to 17-11.
The Cadets didn’t threaten
again until late in the final
period. After Stellatella missed a
field goal attempt, the Black
Knights marched up the field
and appeared headed for the
game winning score when-Lucas
came through with his clutch
interception.
The Lions look over on the
16 and Pae, Botula and Lucas
ran Ihe clock out.
Pandemonium broke loose af
ter the final whistle when some
5,000 Penn State rooters swarmed
onto the field and mobbed the
victorious Lions and carried Rip
Engle off the field.
Lucas was picked as the most
valuable back in the game by
the sportswriters at Michie Sta
dium.
"He's the best all-round quar
terback I've ever seen," said
Phil Monahan, the captain of
Navy's 1854 Sugar Bowl
champs.
And Monahan, who is now a
Navy coach and was scouting the
game, played with George Welsh,

The Lions were in lop physi- |
cal condition and played man
for man on par with the well
drilled Cadels . . . President
Eric A, Walker, Secretary of
Ihe Army Wilbur M. Brucker
reviewed ihe Cadet march on
the Plains before the game to
gether with Superintendent Lt.
Gen. Garrison H. Davidson, of
the Academy . . . The weather
was ideal for ihe game, sunny
but cool . . . Not to be outdone
the Cadets twice copied the
Lion honor line coming onto the
field to greet their players . . .
Army's Bill Carpenter, an All-
American in everyone's book,
is a tremendous team leader...
Army suffered several bad
breaks through penalties . . .
Penn State fans fell silent when
Galen Hall was injured in the
fourth quarter. This left only
Lucas, but ihe lions didn't needle
anyone else for the job ... Hall
was not seriously injured . . .
In fact, no one was injured seri
ously which could be deter
mined immediately after the
game ... Sam Stellatella hit on
three of four placekicking, at
tempts. His first field goal kick
was perfect but the second
went a little wide to the right
. . . Cheerleader Joanie Cava'-
nagh rode the Army mule dur
ing the halftime intermission
and made a big hit with the
Cadets (no wonder) . . . The
Lions lost only their second
fumble of the season in the sec
ond quarter . . . Penn State
scored with only 10 seconds
left in ihe first half in a real
thriller ... Only seconds before
an 80-yard Army touchdown
run had been called back.

Here’s how Penn State’s future]
opponents made out yesterday. Aj
rundown of the West Virginia-
Boston University game was notj
available. The Terriers edged
West Virginia 7-0.
WORCESTER, Mass. (/PI —’The
Holy Cross Crusaders, plagued
by penalties, fumbles and inter
ceptions, eked out an 8-0 win
yesterday over the University of
Dayton.
Quarterback Dick O’Brien hit
right halfback Dick Murphy with
a 34-yard pass into the end zone
in the final seconds of the sec
ond period for the only score.
It was the 100th victory for Dr.
Eddie Anderson as head coach
of the Crusaders.
PITTSBURGH (/P)—lvan (The
Tonic) Toncic passed 56 yards to
end Mike Ditka for one touch-]
down and set up another with
two lowflying aerials as Pitt de
feated Duke 12-0 yesterday in an
intersectional football game.
Toncic’s throwing and Ditka's
catching gave the crowd of 38,749
the only thrilling moments in a
hot, sweaty game which other
wise was fought near the 50-yard
line.
NORFOLK, Va. (jP)—Syracuse
intercepted four Navy passes and
overpowered the Midshipmen on
the ground yesterday to gain am
easy 32-6 victory in the 13th
Shrine Oyster Bowl game. j
It was an awesome display of;
power, both on offense and de
fense, by the Orangemen from
upstate New York as they won
their third straight game.
Navy, with Joe Tranchini toss
ing pinpoint passes, gained more
ground in the first half than Syra

two games. But nearly every time
the Midshipmen got’within scor
ing range, Syracuse’s defense
jstiffened and someone grabbed
off a Navy pass.
The power-packed Syracuse at
tack from an unbalanced wing T
formation, ground out touchdown
drives of 59, 84 and 68 yards, em
, ploying passes only enough to
ikeep the Navy defense honest.
Another time the Orangemen
[went 74 yards only to have the
drive fizzle out short of a score
when Sarette failed to connect on
a couple of pass attempts with a
wet ball.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (/P) A 73-
vard pass play that bordered on
the miraculous and a fourth
period field goal gave Illinois a
9-0 upset over Ohio Slate yester
day in a Big Ten football game
which attracted 82,980 fans.
The Buckeye attack, once the
scourge of the conference, foun
dered on the rocky Illinois defense
as the Bucks lost the ball on
downs on the 29 and 11 yard lines
and on pass interceptions on the
Illinois 11 and 12.
