But it wasn't until the huge corps had been silenced that Lion football fans could realize the impact of Statels 27-16 win over This wasn't just an ordinary upset. It was the turning point in the season for Rip Engle's Lions and it set the stage for an other dramatic meeting Saturday between Syracuse and State on Piety Hill A week ago after the Missouri loss, the oddsmakers wouldn't have given Penn State a chance to whip Ben Schwartzwalder's Nal ional champs. But State's win. Saturday, coupled with Syracuse's 15-6 squeeze over Holy Cross, has changed their thinking quite a bit. The Lions are moving now and the. Army' win has provided them with self-confidence to go along with plain talent. - "That win should give the team a lot of confidence," Lion coach Rip Engle said yesterday as he sat in - his office, thinking about the upcoming games with Syracuse. • "We feel Syracuse will be a great challenge and we feel happy for a chance to play them," he said. "The boys realize they have a tremendous job ahead of them hut, winning the Army game helps a lot." • Lion captain Henry Oppermann, who did a wonderful all-round job against the Cadets, found the sudden change at Army hard to plain.ex It's something you can't just put in words," he said, "you've got to feel it. I just knew we were going to outplay them in the second half if we got the breaks. "You could see, it in their eyes in the dressing room during the half," he said. "in fact I began noticing a change in the second quarter. Everyone seemed to have an air of confidence about him.

By The Associated Press Bouncing back after one rather mediocre performance, the Reb els of Mississippi stormed the heights of collegiate football this week and regained first place in the weekly Associated Press.rank ing poll as Syracuse dropped' to fourth. The Rebels, who lost their hold on first place when they skirted the edge of an upset against Memphis State, handed Vander bilt a 26-0 thumping Saturday while Syracuse, the 1959 national champion, turned in a shaky but winning performance against Holy Cross, 15-6. Penn State moved into the 20th position on the strength of its 27-16 victory over Army. It was Mississippi, lowa, Ohio State and Syracuse in that order when the returns were all in. And probably it was as much the vot ers' indecision as to which Big Ten team is tops as Mississippi's TONY KUBEK performance that influenced the results. Ole Miss drew 19 of the 48 first place votes and 428 points. lowa, an impressive 27-15 winner _over Michigan State, had 17 firsts and 411 points. Ohio State, 34-7 win ner over Illinois, moved up from fifth to third with 8 firsts and 385 points. Syracuse first a week ago, wound up fourth with 4 firsts and 362 points. 1.

Hoak sent him racing home with a single to center. Haddix gave up one run in the second when Howard doubled off the vight field wall, took third on an infield out and scored while Kubek was grounding out - to Stu art on a ball that hit first base and bounced up into Stuart's hands. Hoak continued to play heads up ball in the field. He made a fine bare-handed grab of McDou gald's bunt leading off in the first and grabbed Bobby Richardson's line drive opening the seventh. Murtaugh said right-hander Bob Friend, who was taken out early in the 16-3 Yankee romp in the second game, would be his pitcher in the sixth game. He said Haddix was not tired but had trouble all year going more than seven innings. Murtaugh said the liner that Richardson hit at Hoak could have been a turning point. "I don't see how Don even saw the ball," he said. The catch became more important when Kubek and Lopez followed with singles. Yank Infielder Takes Blame NEW YORK (il 3 ) Gil Mc- Dougald, the veteran third base man of . the New York Yankees, faced up squarely to his fatal er ror in the second inning of yes terday's fifth World Series game with Pittsburgh. "I dropped the ball," he said with a bitter smile. 'He didn't knock it out of my hand. I dropped it before he hit me." With Gino Cimoli on third and Smoky Burgess on second. Don Hoak of the Pirates grounded to Yankee shortstop Tony Kubek, who tossed to third in plenty of time to get Burgess. But McDou gald's error again put Pirate run ners on second and third and Ci moli scored. Bill Mazeroski's dou ble brought both home and - the Pirates went on to win, 5-2. Art Ditmar, the Yankee pitcher who was knocked out in the first inning of the first game of the se ries. was the victim. "So the other day he didn't do so well," said Manager Casey Stengel concerning Ditmar, "And he didn't do so well now, but they didn't field so well for him either, and anyway he won 15 games this season."
