Lions Win
(Continued from page one),
by the loss of five regulars and
two reserves who missed the
game because of injuries, could
mount a serious scoring threat
only once during the entire
game.
It came midway in the first
half when Junior Powell fumbled
a punt on the Syracuse 47 and
Bob Stem recovered for the
Orange.
Sophomore quarterback Walt
Sofsian •brought Syracuse to
State's six-yard line in six plays,
but after three cracks at the Lion
line, two by Ernie Davis and one
by John Charette, the ball was
still one-yard short.
Davis tried the right side of
the line on fourth down but a
great defensive play by Bill
Saul and Al Gursky stopped
him inches short.
The victory was State's first
over Syracuse in four years and
marked Rip Engle's 100th coach
ing victory.
"This win really felt great,"
Rip said after the game. "After
all, for a man who wanted to be
a bridge builder, 100 wins is an
awful lot to wish for."
When asked about his next
100, he said, "Bight now I'll
be happy if it's only 105." State
has five games remaining on the
schedule.
Olsen said that both State and
Syracuse will be watched by the
Gator Bowl in the coming weeks.
"I thought Penn State moved
the ball very well and I was also
impressed with your defense,
especially your defensive ends,"
he said
Olsen said that he will scout
the Lions at Maryland Nov. 4.
State may have to play that
game and possibly the rest of their
schedule without the services of
Don Jonas, their do-everything
right halfback.
Jonas dislocated his right collar
bone in the 'first quarter when he
was tackled and forced out of
bounds and a Syracuse defender
landed on him as he was about
to get up.
Team physician Alfred H.
Griess said that Jonas will prob
ably be out for the season, with
a slim possibility that he may
play against Pitt, Nov. 25.
Powell and Gary Wydman filled
in capably for Jonas with Powell
catching four passes for 34 yards,

TOUCHDOWN BOUND: Galen Hall (25) flips a first quarter
pass to Roger Kochman, who gets behind John Snider (not in the
picture) and races info the end zone for State's first score'in the
and Wydman getting one recep
tion for 33 yards.
State proved that it meant
business from the start of the
game.
The first time they got the
ball the Lions drove all the
way from their 11 to score in
six plays. The big gainers were
a 24-yard pass from Hall to
Jonas and the 44-yard TD pass
to Kochman.
Jonas' kick was good and State
led, 7-0, ,with a little over five
minutes gone in the contest.
Syracuse couldn't move the
ball after the ensuing kick-off
and John Snider kicked from the
13, but Powell fumbled the punt
and Stem recovered on the Syra
cuse 47.
Sofsian hit Pete Brokaw with
a 17-yard pass and •Davis
carried for gains. of 6 and 12
yards to put the ball on the
State 6 with a first and goal.
But Saul led the goal line stand
that gave up just two 'yards to
Davis in three carries.
Neither team could get rolling
throughout the rest' of the half
until State got the ball with time
running out in the second period.
With a first and 10 on their
26, Powell ran for 6, Kochman
picked up 2 and the Hall passed
9 yards to Powell for a first
down.
Hall hit Powell again for five
yards and after the little half
back was stopped for a .4-yard
loss, Hall hit Jim Schwab for a
9-yard gain and another first
down.
Kochman ran for nine yards
and then Hall spotted Wyman in
the clear. Wyman took the ball
over his shoulder and for a min
ute it looked as if he'd go all
the way, but John Humphreys
hit him from behind on the five.
An interference call on the
next play moved the ball to the
2 1 / 2 . but Dave Hayes' plunge
was stopped a foot short as the
gun elided the first half.
Engle said after the game that
he thought the interference oc-,
curred in the end zone, which
would have placed the ball on
the one.
When he saw that the ball was
on the 2 1 / 2 , he tried to send in
Jonas for a field goal but it
was too late.
Stale opened the second half
by moving to till Syracuse 33
but a fumble by Hayes halted
that drive.
The Lions threathned again the
next time they got the ball when
Kochman fumbled a pitchout
from Hall, picked it up on the
bounce, and raced 44 yards to the
Syracuse 34,
No. Yds
But Kochman fumbled the ball
after being slammed to the
ground by Davis and it was re
covered by Snider.
No. Yds.

fumble on the Syracuse 16.
On the third down Hall hi!
Anderson with a buttonhook
over the middle and the sopho
more end bulled his way into
the end zone. Jonas came in with
his arm tucked under his shirt
to boot the extra point and
State led, 14-0.
State got close • enough for
Jonas to try field goals from the
20 and the 30 in the final period,
but he was hampered by his in
jury and missed on both tries.
Meyers, a fourth string end
until two weeks ago, broke up
the middle for 60 yards on three
carries in the waning moments
of the game to put the ball on the
State 16 but time ran out.
Kochman ended up with 107
yards in 14 carries to lead all
the ground gainers. Hayes was
second for State with 34 yards in
11 tries. Meyers picked .up 101
yards in 10 carries for Syratuse.
Davis was held to 36 yards in 14
rushes.
Syracuse, Army invited
TO Play in Gotham Bowl
NEW YORK (AP)—Army and
Syracuse have been invited to
play in the first Gotham Bowl
at New York's Polo Grounds,
Dec. 9.
Bob Curran, director of the
new bowl, said yesterday he
has sent letters to both schools,
hoping to set up a game in time
to make arrangements for a
television sponsor.
There was no official com
ment from Army representa
tives, present at the Football
Writers Luncheon to which Cur
ran made the announcement.
However, it was pointed out
that Army plays Navy Dec. 2
and never has been to a bowl
game.
