PAGE TEN Corum's Black Suit Tells Story of Lion-Mountie Tilt West Virginia's Gene Corum didn't act like a coach whose team was in the process of being slaughtered for the sixth time this season as he stood on the sidelines and watched Penn State methodically crush his Mountaineers, 34-13, Sat- urday. As the game progressed the! black suit that Corum wore! seemed more and more appropri-I ate. Time and again his young! sophomores committed mistakes! to give the Lions more scoring! opportunities than they could! handle. But Corum never lost his pa tience or his composure. He never raised his voice. After Penn State scored its fifth touchdown to make the score 34-0, the Mountie coach walked slowly over to the bench where one of his third string halfbacks was sitting with his head droop ing. "Move over, son," he said as the player looked at him apologeti cally., "might as well sit down and take it easy." Later in the locker room, Cor um admitted that he isn't a "fire and brimstone" coach. 'You can't be," he said, "not when you have players like these fellows. It takes patience lots of 'patience, and sometimes it's hard. But right now these boys need friends. "I admire the way they (the team) have stuck with it. We have a tough schedule and these kids have been through a lot. At a time like this I think the boys would be in bad shape if they couldn't feel that the coaches were behind them."
