While the pi ess reading public is constantly confronted
by the name of Richie Lucas, there is another man who rates
a good share of the responsibility for the Lions • gridiron
success this fall.
Without detracting from Lucas—for the dazzling signal

the most demanding roll previous , ,

Hip Engle and his staff knew
they had one of the best quar
terbacks in the nation in Richie
Lucas. But in the accelerated,
fast-moving game of modern
fooinall, the 60-minute man is
a legendary figure in the ob
scure past. They had to find a
suitable replacement fo' Richie.

toona, where, in his senior year,
he captained the football and
baseball teams to conference
championships and the basket
ball squad to the Class C state
title.
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."

BOSTON UP) The NCAA yesterday slapped Wyoming
and Montana State College with probation sentences for viola
tion of the group's rules on recruiting and financial aid to
athletes.
The action brought to four the number of schools SO
penalized by the group during its
three-day meeting.
Hamline University of St. Paul,
Minn., was reprimanded by the
NCAA Council, policy-directing
body for the 500-member organi
zation, for violating rules on try
outs.
Wyoming, currently leading
the Skyline Conference in foot
ball, drew a one-year probation
sentence, and its fotball team
was declared ineligible for any
post-season bowl games. As
conference champion last season,
Wyoming played in the Sun
Bowl game and was considered
a likely candidate for invita
tion this year.
In Laramie, Wyo , Wyoming's
head football coach, Bab Deva
ney, said he will appeal the de
cision.
- Montana State was placed on
probation for two years, was made
ineligible for any NCAA national

MIAMI, Fla. (/P) University
of Miami quarterback Fran Curci
disclosed yesterday he can tell
when an opposing center is going
to snap the ball by the bulging
of the veins in his hands.
This enabled Curci to block a
field goal attempt by Auburn last
week. Playing close to the line of
scrimmage, Curci hurled over ,a
prostrate lineman and reached the
kicker's foot almost before the
ball did.
