JUST LIKE 's9s Roger Kochrnan proved that he is completely recovered from the knee injury that
sidelined him last year by racing 18 yards for a first down against Navy in the third quarter
Saturday. Chasing him is Middie fullback Ron Bell

Lions Move on Ground;
Hold Navy to 94 Yards
(Continued from page one)
Jonas booled a 31-yard field
goal in the third quarter and
went ahead for good when the
Lion halfback kicked a 25-
yarder in the fourth period.
That gave State a 13-10 lead
with almost nine minutes left to
play. Navy tried to get its pass
ing attack functioning but key
interceptions by Bill Saul, Jay
Huffman, and DaVe Hayes hurt
and the Middies couldn’t get un
tracked.
Don Caum put the game out of
reach when he showed the way
to an insurance TD with a little
over two minutes left to play.
The Lions had no trouble run
ning against Navy’s defenses,
picking up 328 yards throughout
the hot, sticky, afternoon. But
State’s passing attack was a little
less than spectaculax’, with Galen
Hall and Caum completing only
three out of 10, all sophomore
halfback Gary Wydman.
Despite the closeness of the
score, Engle was pleased with
State’s overall performance.
"It was one of the best openers
for us in a long time,” he said
after the game. "It compares
favorably with the 1959 opener
when we beat Missouri (19-8).”
Engle singled out the play of
Buddy Torris and Pete Liske on
defense and the all-around play
of his Reddie Unit ends, Jim
Schwab and Dick Anderson.'
Quarterback coach Joe Pater
no echoed Engle's praise of
Liske. "He was definitely the
outstanding defensive ballplayer
on the field today," Paterno said.
Except for the first quarter TD
drive, State’s line contained the
Navy ground attack most of the
afternoon. Navy picked up 94
yards on the ground. 50 of that
total coming in the Middies’ first
sequence of plays after the open
ing kickoff.
Jimmy Stewart, a little scat
back from Williamsport, took
Jonas’ kickoff on the four and
brought it out to the 40.
Left half Carl Fink hit out
side right tackle for 20 yards
on the first play from scrim
mage and Navy was on its way.
Fink did most of the heavy
duly work, picking up 47 yards
in five carries.
Quarterback Don Klemick
threw only twice, completing an
eight-yarder to Ron Bell and a
short pitch to Stewart for the
touchdown in a fourth and two
situation.
The Lions came roaring back
with a touchdown drive of their
own. Jonas, A 1 Gursky and Dave
Hayes picked up most of the yard
age as Hall elected to stay on
the ground all the way.
With a fourth and three situ
ation on the Navy 6, Jonas look
a pifchout from Hall, cut *nside
end and bowled into the end
zone.
Seconds later he booted the ex
tra point and the score was tied
at 7 all.
State threatened again the sec
ond time it got the ball, but the
drive died on the Navy 6 when
Wydman was stopped for no gain
on a reverse.
Another Lion drive fizzled on
ihe Navy 32 when Jonas was
tackled two yards short of a
first down after gaining five
yards on a pitchout from Hall.
Near the end of the second half
Navy recovered Wydman’s fum
ble on the Navy 25 and on the
strength of two passes from Bob
Hecht to halfback Bob Teall, one
good for seven yards and the oth
er for 31, moved into position for
Mather's field goal.
The Navy end, who last year
kicked a 42-yarder to beat Wash
ington, booted the ball straight
and true from 45 yards out withj
only five seconds left in the half!
and Navy had a 10-7 lead. J
State started a long drive near
the end of the third quarter
after Mather's punt rolled dead
on> the Lion 8, Again State
picked up most of its yardage
on the ground, with the big
gainer an 18-yard romp by Rog
er Kochman from fhe Navy 47
to the 29.
The Lion attack stalled on the
14, with three plays show
ing a loss of one yard. Then Jonas,
who had never attempted a field

Notes
The hoi weaiher Saturday
may have been a blessing in
disguise. Penn Slate can expect
the same type of heat at Miami
Friday night and they'll be up
against a much tougher team
. . . Navy weathered the heat
better than Stale but the Middies
started practicing two weeks
earlier than the Lions. Also,
Navy is used to practicing in
the hot. sticky clime around
Annapolis ... Reddie Unit tack
le Gerry Farkas lost 13 pounds
Saturday and Jim Smith II ...
The crowd of 39,340 set a Penn
State record. The largest pre
vious crowd was 32,513 for the
Missouri game last year . . .
Quarterback coach Joe Paterno
doesn't think Navy out-con
ditioned the Lions. "We were
the team to score in the last
quarter, not Navy," he said . . .
Rip Engle was impressed with
the play of sophomore halfback
Gary Wydman. "He's a real fine
prospect," Engle said. "He made
some mistakes bui fry and find
me a sophomore who doesn't..."
Wydman was a little shocked
at getting caught from behind
on a 48-yard pass play in the
last quarter. "I should have cut
back a second time," he said. "I
thought I could go a little far
ther but I gave the defense a
better angle on me."
