Hook Scores Two TDs,
Passes for Third Score
Dick Hoak, who may very well be the best alternate unit
quarterback in the country, was anything but kind to his
Webfooted friends Saturday.
Playing his final game, Hoak scored twice, passed for
another touchdown and intercepted two passes as Penn State
trounced Oregon, 41-12, in the
second annual Liberty Bowl
game. 20,
A sparse crowd of 16,624
showed up in snowswept Phila
delphia Stadium, but the only
ones who left disappointed were
the promoters and school offi
cials.
Their appetite for fine football
was ruined by last week's snow
storm which cut the take-home
pay to between $5O-60,000.
Not only, was Saturday's win a
tribute to Hoak and Penn State,
but it helped restore.prestige to
Eastern football which suffered
greatly when Yale was named
co-winner of the Eastern cham
pionship along- with Navy.
"We beat a very good foot
ball
team today," Lion coach ,
Rip Engle. said after the game.
"They were in the hall game
all the way until we went on that
drive in the fourth quarter. That
broke their backs."
Engle was referring to Penn
State's 95-yard drive early in the
fourth period when the score was
21-12. It took the Lions 16 plays
to score and Oregon never re
covered.
On the first play after the
ensuing kickoff, Hoak, voted the
game's most valuable player,
came up with one of his inter
ceptions on the Oregon 41. He
returned it to the 17.
From there, fullback Dave
Hayes drove to the 11 and then
Hoak scooted 11 yards for the
score to give State a 34-12 lead.
The Lions kicked off again and
on the first play from scrimmage
the ever-alert Mr. Hoak stole
another Dave Grosz aerial.
He took this one on the Oregon
48 and returned it to the 33.
Hoak's cousin Buddy Torris
picked up nine yards on the next
play but a penalty and a four
yard loss put the Lions right back
on the 33.

pass to little Dick Pae who

—An unmanned man-in-space
capsule rocketed 135 miles
high and was plucked from
the Atlantic 235 miles down
range yesterday s possiblyher
aiding a similar flight by an
American astronaut within four
months.
Continued success in the
Project Mercury orogram could
enable the United States to put
the first man in space. Soviet
scientists recently encountered
difficulty in their manned space
program when they failed to re

from orbit.
The one-ton, bell-shaped Mer
cury spacecraft thundered away
from Cape Canaveral at 11:15 a.m.
atop a Redstone Rocket and 16
minutes later plunked on target

4,000 miles an hour.
