PAGE SIX Off anri On $ • ..47 4 a , . ; Basking in the warmth of Penn State's 30-15 trouncing of Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl, Rip Engle called this year's squad his greatest team. And, brother, that's saying some- The silver-haired Ripper has never had la losing season since coming to Penn State, and his 12-year record here:reads 76 victories against 34 defeats and 4 ties. His overall record, including six years at Brown, i 5.104 wins, 54 defeats and 13 ties. AdultJlv, Engle qualified his "best team ever" statement : . 'by saying, "In - view of these laSt few games.,--and when we're in good physical shape--- , l'd have to call this my greatest . team." As a rntter of fact, this past season might even he con iiidered a disappointing one for Engle and the Lions. Picked anywhere from sixth-to first in the pre-season national rankings, the Nittan ies were only 4-3 at ane point in, the campaign • THERE WERE SEVERAL reasons wily the Lions failed to live up to early expecta tions, but the main reason was the shoulder injury Galen Hall' suffered in the Miami ganie. Trailing 7-0 at halftime in 'Miami, Stare lost Hall on the first play of the second half. The Lions then proceeded to fall apart, finally losing 25-8. 'State managed to roll over outclassed .doston University without the senior quarter- GALEN HALL back; but Army pointed out just how much Hall was missed with a 10-6 upset. A porous pass defense accounted for the Lions' tither loss, a 21-17 squeaker to Maryland. State then trampled West Virginia, Holy Cross, Pitt and Georgia Tech to finish 8-3 and earn Engle's accolades as well as the Lambert trophy as the top team in the East. PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL scouts apparently agree with. Engle. A total of nine players, on the 1961 squad have been - drafted •by the pros since last year, the biggest "raid" ever on a - Lion team. Halfback Don Jonas and guard flick Wilson were selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1960 draft and se*n, more Lions, including three with another . year of eligibility, were grabbed in this year's procurement. Roger Kochman, Al Gursky and Chuck Sieminski all 'have another season of eligibility. Of :the six, players who -have finished their Penn State rgreers, team captain and tackle, Jim Smith and center Bill caul have already signed professional contracts. THE PRO SCOUTS are still pursuing Jonas, Wilson, and! ends Jim Schwab and Bob Winger. And in the rush to grab all the beef and speed that made, lip the Penn State football machine, the pros have almoSti completely overlooked the spark that made it run.: "Little - Galen Hall" had:been shunned as being too short I to throw the drop-back pass that the pros use so extensively. Not until the 5-9 senior directed the draft choices of the'E' NFL's Western Division to a 33-19 rout over the picki of thelE. Eastern Division in the U.S. Bowl, was he contacted byiEl National or American Football League representatives. Hall, described as everything from "stubby" and "pudgy" ! = to "shy" and "studious,", completed 28 of 49 paises itnd di-'c rected Red Hickey's pro-style offense with all the poise of a F. five-year pro. Mall. most valuable player of the Gator Bowl. U.S.*BowlS : and by team vote, has been called a "coach on the field" and'. the "best play-caller - State has ever had. He is certainly all those things. He is also apt to be the "most missed" Nvhen the 1962 football season rolls around. E.
