'Pitt Wanted to Win
More Than Us'--Engle
By JOHNNY BLACK
Assistant Sports Editor
The Penn State locker room was a picture of weariness
and utter dejection. An inspired Pitt Panther team had just
dimmed the rosy outlook of the Nittany Lion grid fortunes.
It provided a sour ending for what had been the Lions'
most successful football campaign in more than a decade.
It undoubtedly knocked the Blue
and White from its fifth and sev
enth place ratings and probably
completely out of the Top 10. And
it immediately lowered the ex
pected prestige of the yet to be
conceived Liberty Bowl.
But as Lion mentor Rip Engle
said, "Pitt deserved to win,"
It was evident from the
second play of the game which
team wa s hitting harder,
charging faster and had more
desire. "They played harder
than we did, and they wanted
to win more than we did," said
Engle.
"We were very concerned about
the team all week, we just didn't
know if it was our team," said
the white-thatched tutor quietly
after the game.
Earlier in the s•_rson Engle had
described this toi--rn as "the most
unemotional team" he had ever
coached. Before three other big
games this fall the team had
failed to become fired up to any
greater degree than for the routine
Saturday afternoon outing.
However, in each of these
games—Army, Illinois and Sy
racuse—once the players took
the field they came through
with a performance equal to
the occasion. But Saturday they
seemed to have lost this magic
formula.
They showed flashes of inspira
tion in two tremendous goal line
stands, both times arresting the
Fierce Colts Rip 49'ers, 45-14
BALTIMORE (W) The de
fending champion Baltimore Colts
played like repeaters yesterday
and ripped apart the San Franics
co 49ers, 45-14, to tie them for first
place in the Western Conference
of the National Football League.
The fierce Colt offensive and
defensive performance left both
dubs with 6-3 records and three
games to play. They meet once
more on Dec. 5 on the West Coast.
The 49ers, who gave up an av
erage of 13 points in their first
eight games, were blasted for 21
by the Colts in the second quar
ter and 17 in the last.
Quarterback Johnny Unitas
continued his touchdown passing
for the Colts. He threw two-20
yards to end Raymond Berry and
work for one of the Pennsylvania electric companies.
With regular salary reviews, you are encouraged to
advance as fast as you can develop your ability.
That's because the electric cbmpanies are growing so
fast. They will double their output in the next ten
years. So there are plenty of opportunities for you.

Panther onslaught on the 1-yard
line, but could not maintain any
degree of consistency.
Fred Cox, Bob Clemens, and
Jim Cunningham virtually made
a punchboard of the Nittany
driving for 317 of the Panthers
1330 rushing yards.
Meanwhile, the stout Panther
defense and more particularly
hard-crashing ends Mike Ditka
and Ron Delfine limited the
entire first-string Lion back
field to 52 yards.
Burly Jim Cunningham, 205-
pound junior fullback who beat
out Curt Plowman and Fred Rid
dle, both two-year veterans, for
the first-string post, credited two
factors—Pitt's scouting job and
team spirit.
"Our coaches really had them )
scouted," said Cunningham. "We
knew what was coming every
time. There was no need for sec
ond guessing.
"And our spirit made a lot of
difference. We were really up
for the game."
A jubilant John Michelosen,
who was hung in effigy earlier
this year while the Panthers
floundered in the mire of a medio
cre season, was very pleased with
the day's results.
"It was our blocking and team
play that acounted for the win,"
said the former Panther star
blocking back. "It's line play that
always wins for me."
4 to Lenny Moore—to hike his
season's total to 24 TD passes and
increase his all-time league record
of consecutive games in which he
has thrown touchdown passes to
34.
Fullback Alan Ameche, who
plunged for a pair of touchdowns;
Moore and Mike Sommer hand
led the Colt running offense.
The Colt defense, which drew
early season criticism for its ef
forts, also rose to the occasion.
The only lapse was to let Hugh
McElhenny get away for a 72-
yard run on a screen pass which
was followed by a 4-yard touch
down pass from quarterback Y. A.
Tittle to fullback Joe Perry.
