roach Calls Mitinger
College Player
Cap
Creates}
Bob Mitinger thinks his play in Penn State's 33-16 victory
over California Saturday was far from spectacultir, but
Golden Bear Coach Mary Levy 'disagrees with the Lion's• All-
American candidate.
.
Levy called Mitinger "the best_ college football player
in the United States," at a meet
ing of the Northern California
Football Writers Association Mon
day. •
"Mitinger played clean. ag
gressive football." said Levy,
"and when taken out- by a
vicious block he often recovered
fast enough to be in , on The
tackle.'
Ironically, Mitinger doesn't feel
that he played one of his better
games against Cal. Rather, he
singled out the play of Jim
Schwab, his teammate at. the
other end post, for his sparkling
play both offensively and de
fensively.
It: fact, Schwab was named to
the Eastern CQllege Athletic Con
ference• all-East team this week
for his play against the Golder(
Bears.
Schwab caught two passes
for 26 yards and made some
brilliant defensive plays In the
game. One of Schwab's catches
set up Slate's third touchdoWn.
Mitinger has been superlative
on defense in almost every one of.
State's six games so far this year.' :
His defensive play was particu
larly notable against Miami despite;
the fact that State lost 25-8. Mitinger'
continually threw Miami quarter
back George Mira for big losses,
and kept the Hurricanes from,
going wide around his end all
night,
