Hall's Pass

The 19-year-old' 11 all was
fuiced into Mr. Lucas' sire 11's
in the e nod quarter of the in
augural Liberty Bowl game in.
Philadelphia Stadium Dec. 19 and
how he fulled them is now history.
The 5.9 signalcaller, who
looks more like a choir boy
than a football player, thrilled
a crowd of 36,211 when he threw
an 18-yard touchdown pass to
halfback Roger Kochman on a
fake field goal play to give the
Lions a 7.0 win over Alabama.
The win more than atoned for
the 22-7 loss suffered in the sea
son's finale at Pittsburgh and
gave the Lions a final record of
9-2
It was also a milestone for
Engle, for the Lion mentor joined
one of collegiate football's select
circles by winning his 100th game.
And quite a win it was for all
concerned. The 7.0 score simply
doesn't reflect the difference
betwen the two teams but sta
tistics do.
The Lions completely dominat
ed the play, racking up 18 first
downs and 278 yards rushing to
Alabama's eight first downs and
104 yards rushing
Alabama coach Bear Bryant
was the first to admit that the
Lions were the superior team. "I
think we were very fortunate that
we weien't beaten by four or
five touchdowns," he said. "State
just gave us a good sound thrash

Southeastern Conference clubs
we faced all year including Geor

The big play of the day
turned out to be the fake field
goal seconds before the end of
the first half.
State had the ball second down
and six to go on the 'Bama 18
when Hall knelt down to hold for
Sam Stellatella who had missed
a field goal from the 12 earlier
in the game. ,
Dick Wilson snapped the ball
and Hall jumped up, spotted Rog
er Kochnuin in the left flat, and
hit him with a bullet.
A protective wedge sprung up
around Kochman and escorted him
goalward.

Henry Opperman. Norm Neff,
Sam Sobczak and Stew Barber
threw key blocks.
Stellatella booted the extra
point and the Nittanies took a
7-0 lead which they never lOst.
The Lions had several other
opportunities to score. Once they
fumbled on the 11 and another
time the Crimson Tide defense
held Penn State on the one.
When the clock ran out Penn

the game. "That's right," echoed
assistant coach Paterno, "that's
the way we planned it. We set
up our defenses to meet theirs."
