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.
