Hall Leads Lions' 47-26 Romp Over Pitt
Convincing Victory Leads
To Bid From Gator Bowl
With Galen Hall playing the best game of his career,
Penn State smashed Pitt into oblivion, 47-26, before 37,261
wide-eyed fans at Pitt Stadium Saturday and as a result the
Lions are in the Gator Bowl.
State accepted the bid last night after a meeting of play
ers and coaches with President Eric A. Walker and Athletic
Director Ernest B. McCoy.
Hall led the assault on the be
wildered Panthers by passing
for two touchdowns, sunning
for two more and generally
directing the team in spectacu
lar fashion.
A smiling Rip Engle singled
out Al Gursky for his running,
Dave Robinson ("Robinson is
playing like Robinson again"),
Jim Schwab and Bob Mitinger
for their end play, and Captain
Jim Smith and the entire line
for outstanding work against the
Panthers. But it was Hall who
sparked the team to the smashing
victory.
In the process of completing: Roger Kochman on an 8-yard
11-14 passes for 256 yards the, draw play. Gursky on a 4-yard
balding quarterback erased Tony dash and Junior Powell on a
Rados' eight-year-old record for, 49-yard pass from Hall to leave
total yardage in a single game. 1 Pitt far behind in the last two

for a football game and give the players adequate time to study
for finals."
The Gator Bowl has a seating capacity of 51,000 and the game
will be televised nationally by CBS. In last year's game Florida
defeated Baylor, 13.12.
The 13owl pairing will mark State's fifth appearance against
Georgia Tech. In their first meeting State defeated the Engineers
28-7 at New York City in 1921. Two years later the Lions beat Tech
here 7-0. The Engineers won at Atlanta, Ga., in 1924, 15-13 and again
in New York the next year 16-7.
This year Georgia Tech is 6-3 with a game remaining against'
Georgia this Saturday. Tech has lost to Louisiana State, Tennessee
and Alabama and has defeated Southern California, Rice, Duke,
Auburn, Tulane and Florida.
The game will mark State's _fifth bowl appearance. In 1922
the Lions lost to Southern California in the Rose Bowl, 14-3. State'
and Southern Methodist played to a 13-13 tie in the 1947 Cattonl
Bowl. State's two victories in the Liberty Bowl the past two years;
give the Lions a 2-1-1 record in post-season extravaganzas.
early in the second quarter to give
State a 13-7 lead. Hall fumbled the
pass from center and Don Jonas
couldn't get the kick away.
Pitt took the lead midway in
the second period when Rick
Leeson churned five yards for
the score and Fred Cox kicked
the extra point.
But that was the last time the
Panthers were out in front.
Hall passed 23 yards for a
touchdown to Gursky near the
end of the period and State led at
halftime 19-14.
Hall scored on an 11-yard run,
