Pass Defense Presents
Problem for Gridders
Rip Engle was all smiles after his gridders annihilated
Boston University 32-0 Friday night, but yesterday, with only
four days left until the Lions meet Army at Beaver Stadium,
Engle's grin was less and less in evidence.
"We played well against Boston but we're going to have
to play better against Army it we
want to win," he said. "I'm a little
worried about our progress. We're
just not thinking like a football
team. We're making too many
mistakes on fundamentals."
Engle mentioned downfield
blocking and coverage of kick
offs as two areas in which State
could stand some improvement.
But even more important in the
light of Army's passing attack are
State's inadaquacie,s on pass de
fense.
With quarterback Dick Eckert
at the helm Army possesses a
smooth-working aerial game.
So far the Cadets have passed
the ball 123 times this year in
comparison with 89 running
plays. Last week against Michi
gan the Black Knights com
pleted 22 out of 33 attempts.
And to make matters worse
Engle considers State's pass de
fense "the most vulnerable hole"
in the Lion armor.
"If we don't come up with
something, those Army quarter
backs will pass us to death Satur
day," he said.
In the three games to date
State's opponents have been
able to move the ball through
the air, averaging 122 yards per
game.
The Lions show a little better
in rushing defense, limiting Navy,
Miami and Boston U. to a total
of 310 yards, or 102 yards per
game.
Gridiron Notes
Former Philadelphia Eagle
end Pete Pihos was one of a half
dozen pro football scouts at
the Boston U. game who had
their eye on Bob Mitinger, Rog
er Kochman, Jim Smith and a
few other Lions . . . "Army's
second team is better than ifs
first," Boston U. Sports Direc
tor Art Dunphy said after the
Terriers were beaten 31-7 by
the Cadets. "Their whole sec
ond unit spent* the summer in
ranger training," he said.
"They're in better shape than
the first team and both together
International Film Series
Presents Thursday
Ingemar Bergman's
"BRINK OF LIFE"
BRINK OF LIFE was made in 1958 and is based upon
a novel of Ulla Isaksson (the woman who wrote the screen
play for the overpowering Bergman—directed THE VIRGIN
SPRING). The setting of BRINK OF LIFE is a maternity
hospital, the camera is devastating in its almost documentary
approach. But this film, like the best of the film as a
contemporary art form, is full of a strange compassion, a
compassion which is impersonal and yet highly authentic.
If Bergman's THE SEVENTH SEAL is to be considered a
treatise on death, then so must BRINK OF LIFE be con
sidered a treatise on life. This film is not open to the criticism
of being symbol-ridden. It is blunt, poignant, and as simple
as the greatest works of cinematic art.
