The Sunday morning quarterbacks didn't quite take to Rip Engle's "3 -yard" power football on display at Beaver Stadium Saturday. But if they examined things a little closer and used a little logic, they might figure out just what' was in foxy Charlie's mind as he watched his Lions beat Boston U, 20-0 in the relatively unexciting Beaver Stadium inaugural. With the press box full of scouts from Missouri, State's next opponent, there is a strong possibility that Engle wanted to keep some of his pet plays uhder wraps. Saturday against the Terriers Engle stuck to the straight-t and the winged-t and didn't call for any of the spreads and slot formatiOns that All-American quarterback Richie Lucas used so much last year. The Lions banged out their yardage with simple off-tackle and icissors plays and sent'Eddie Caye sweeping around end on numerous occasions to keep the BU offenses alert. Engle was a little upset with the criticism heaped on Penn. State's performance Saturday and called it "unjust." "We played a good game and beat a good team. They were big and strong and we beat them with quickness and strong foot ball," he said. "If the fans expect spectacu lar runs," he continued, "they're not going to get them because we don't have any backs who can do it with Kochman hurt. Our other backs are good solid football players." Affable Joe Paterno, th e quarterback coach, wasn't real ly upset and traced the criti cism to human nature: "Last year when we threw so much, everyone said I'd like to' see State play more of a ground, RIP ENGLE Paterno said he was quite pleased with the performances of his two quarterbacks Galen Hall and Dick Hoak. "They called the game we wanted them to call," he said. That statement can be interpreted numerous ways but it's ob vious that Engle and State wouldn't display their whole offense in the opening game especially when they had a commanding lead. On the Boston U. side, coach Steve Sinko had no alibis. "Re ports said Penn State would be a three-yard team—today they were a four-yard team. "I wasn't particularly pleased with Bob Minihane's perform ance," Sinko said when asked about his All-American tackle candi date. "He's been nursing a bad leg, but that's no excuse." The good natured Terrier coach smiled when someone brought up the subject of Syracuse, BU's next opponent. "We'll be there to play," he said, "other than that . . ." Versatile Athlete Henry Oppermann, Penn State's 1960 football captain, also starred in track and basketball at Con nellsville High School.
