TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1959 Engle Rates rmy reatest Coaching By SANDY PADWE Rip Engle sat back in his Rec Hall office yesterday beaming from ear to ear. And why not. His Lions had just pulled one of the biggest up sets in College football this 1 ear when they beat 'Army, 17-11, at West Point. "I have to rate the win as my greatest thrill in football," Engle said. "The reason I say that is because the game meant so much to the institution I represent." "The team was great out there. They're just a bunch of real scrappers," he continued.

The Lion coach agreed with everyone that Richie Lucas, Penn State's quarterback, was the big difference between the two teams. "If he isn't an All-American after that game, he never will be," the Lion coached exclaimed. Lucas had a great day. IHe passed for 97 yards, rushed for 60 more and was the best de fensive player on the field. Lucas was voted most valuable back by the writers covering the game.
