By the end of spring practice,; Hall had earned himself the No 1 2 berth behind "Rollout Richie,"! but he was still untested in game! action That test came this fall, and Galen wasted no time proving that he was equal to the task.

Hall was a much sought after high school athlete. Without tak ing the time to count them, he shyly estimated that he had of fers from 40 different colleges across the nation. Southern Cal, SMU, Pitt and Michigan State all bid ofr him, but he chose Penn State because he was impressed by the coaches and it was "close to home." An only child, Hall's father died three months before Galen was born. His mother, who is a school teacher in Williamsburg, was left with the job of bring ing him up alone, and he main tains a fervent affection for her. Galen plans to be a teacher himself and is enrolled in secon dary education with a major in math. lie would also like to coach after he completes his playing career on the gridiron. It has not only been Hall's run ning and passing performances, but also his composure and field generalship—the ability to "take chargz" and move team—that has earned him the confidence of the Penn State coaches and fans alike. "Galen has a good football mind and learns very quickly," says Paterno. "He is an excellent play caller for a sophomore. He handles himself well, has a lot of poise and does a real god job of lead ing the club." Horseback Riding Mon. thru Fri. at 6:00 P.M. Sat. & Sun.-10 A.M., 1 P.M. 3 P.M., 6 P.M.
