The Lions couldn't move the ball and with a little less than three minutes left in the first half quarterback Dick Hoak flipped a pass which was inter cepted by Missouri's Freddie Brossart on the Lion 43. He stepped out of bounds on the 40. Beal slashed between tackle and end for 12 yards and the ball was on the 28. Then Missouri pulled off the prettiest play of the after noon.

It was a fired-up State team that took the field for the sec ond half. The Lions exchanged a set of downs with Missouri, and then launched their only major drive of the afternoon • which covered 73 yards in 15 plays. Fullback Sam Sobczak, and halfbacks Eddie Caye and Jim Kerr kept chipping off short yard age to the 36-yard line. There, Caye and Kerr combined for 21 yards on a lateral which brought the homecoming crowd to life for the first time. The ball was on the 15 and the Lion backs moved it into scoring position a few plays later. It was fourth down with the ball on the three when quarterback Galen Hall drop ped back and threw a short pass to Henry Oppermann for 1 the score.

It took the Tigers only six plays before Stevenson went over for the final score. "Penn State never let up on us," Missouri coach Dan Devine said with a sigh of relief after the game. "We were fortunate to keep the pressure on them at key spots," he said. Devine can thank Laßose, an All-Big Eight Conference end, for keeping the pressure on the Lions. Time and time again the hust ling Tiger senior crashed through the State line and stopped Lion plays. The only bright spot in the Penn State attack was the passing, department. Hall and Hoak com pleted 11 of 23 passes for 113 yards. The win was Missouri's third straight, while State has a 1-1 record. The Lions will be at West Point, N.Y., Saturday to play the un beaten Cadets who dumped Cali fornia last weekend, 28-10. Then it's on to Syracuse for a game with the National champs. The final stop on the three game road trip is Urbana, 111., where the Lions tangle with the Big Ten favorite, Illinois.

That was 11 years ago and today Paterno has forgotten about law school and is still coaching Lion quarterbacks. But he ,hasn't lost the old touch with the lit books. In fact, he can still quote Virgil and . tell you the old boy once wrote that "a fickle and changeful thing is woman ever."' But nowadays, thanks to his football background, he would change it to say. "a fickle and changeful thing is a football fan ever." And he would be absolutely right judging by the comments following Penn State's 21.8 loss to Missouri Saturday; Paterno sat in the morgue-like Penn State coaches' office yester day as one irate writer complained to him that Penn State sports fans, especially the basketball fans, rank with the worst anywhere. And now, one loss, despite the fact that it was to one of the better teams in the country, has the grid fans crying for everyone's scalp and screaming that Penn State "just hasn't got it this year " =Ell Paterno leaned back, folded his hands behind his head, smiled confidently then said, "We have a better team than we showed. The kids will work and we'll get better. A lot of people didn't rea lize how good Missouri was. "They came up with the big plays when they had to. That's the sign of a good football team," he said. "Let's not take any credit away from them. "And don't worry about the fans," he continued, "they'll show .their true form the next few weeks. We'll be playing three of the top teams in the country during that time. "You never know who your JOE PATERNO friends are till you get in trouble," he said. "If we're having a tough time that's the time for the fans to rally round." "Second that," line coach Tor Toretti, said from his desk in the corner "You know my wife was leaving the stadiuM the other day and someone said they should fire the coaches. She told him that would be a good idea because there are easier ways of making a living," Toretti said. When you really sit down and analyze all these remarks it's plain to see just how ridiculous most people sound when It comes to criticizing coaches and teams. The trouble with Penn State football fans is they're "bush" all the way. They were spoiled last year by one of the best teams in the country and this year they're having a hard time adjusting to a team because it lost one ball game and didn't roll up a score on BU. They'll change 'their tune, though, if the Nittanies unwind and iron out all their troubles at Army this weekend and they'll all be on the bandwagon for the Syracuse game. Then . how would an upset affect them? It would be last year's Army celebration all over again with the biggest "bushels" makir the most noise as usual.
