SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 1962 Off and On This .afteitioo football game between Penn State .and • Navy, besides matching the two best teams in the East, pro vides an opportunity for all present to see two of college foot ball's-most respected coaches in action. State's Rip Engle and Navy's Wayne' Hardin match wits for the second time and the game is ;bound to be a crowd pleaser. • Engle, the Silver Eagle of Penn State football, is begin ning his 13th season as head coach of the Nittanies. He has never had a. losing team since coming to these Pennsylvania hills, from Brown University in 1950.• • • - SEEKING HIS 78th Penn Statel coaching victory this afternoon, the Ripper has an 18-year career record of 105 vic tories „54 defeats and eight ties. His combined record at Brown and State giv . es him a win ning percentage'of better than .600 and ranks him 12th among 'the 20 most successful college coaches. • - • He has led the Lions to three straight post-season bowl victoriesi--Libeity twice and Gator once—and has served as a coach in 13 post-season All-Sta : WAYNE HARDIN • • RIP ENGLE Engle has been a member of the Blue coaching staff for seven Blue-Gray games, serving as head coach on three separate occasions. - He was head coach 'of the. East in the 1957 East-West Shrine game after serving as assistant in 1955 and 1956. In 1959 and 1960 he was co-head coach - of the National All-Stars in the Copper Bowl, and in June, 1961, he was the co-head coach of the East 'team for the All-America Bowl. ENGLE COUNTS today's game as , One of the toughest openers he hp faced-in.his 13 years on Mount Nittany. Navy is a definite threatio the Nittanies' habit of 'winning their opening game. In Engle's 12 years here, the Lions have vi i on ten openers and dropped but two. • A persistent pessimist, Engle has nevertheless developed another contender for Eastern honors this year. But if the Lions are going to lay claim to the Lambert , Trophy again this December, a win today is almost a must. . ONE OF the youngest head coaches in the country at 35; Hardin has compiled an enviable record in his three years of,, coaching at Annapolis. ' In 1959, his first year as,the head mentor of the Middies; Nayy bad a 5-4-1 record; including a 43-12 victory over archj rival Army. • • - l'he Middies leaped into national prominence in 19 . 60 with, a 9-2 mark, including a 14-7 defeat at the hands of Missouri In the Orange Bowl. A•l7-12 win over Army made the season even more of a success. - Last year was supposed to be. a rebuilding year at the Academy Acadeiny and the, Middies' fine 7-3 season 'was a surprise. ; 1 He came to Navy in 1955 and served for four years as back=' field coach before iiking over the head coaching , job'froni Eddie. Erdalatz in 1459. I -1 'UNLIKE ENGTX, Haidin is not adverse to -optimism. 'According to the odds, Navy will be the underdog- this after'- noon. But Hardin think] team will, in and he's not afraid to say so. . , Yesterciay-as he fated a semi-circle of writers at Beaver ,Stadium, the red-haired Navy mentor began sentences with statements like "After we beat Penn State tomorrow . .." and '`We think we're going to win?' . ,But no amount of talk IA going' to beat the Penn State football team. Hardin violated one of the cardinal rule; of eaact!ing -by expressing optithism.

PENNSYLVANIA Hardin . Plans Air Attack; Kochman Ready to Rocket (Continued from page an.) good at all this" fall," Engle com mented yesterday. "And we ex pect Navy to throw the ball.", NAVY. SHOULD live up to,tlia Ripper's expectations. -,The Mid dies were a passing team in 1961, throwing 26 passes in 54 offensiVe plays in the opener, and most of their air striking force returns. Lean Ron Klemick will be-on the firing line for the Middies with oftrinjured Bruce Abel ready in reserve. • Navy may take to the air 'even more than anticipated. The Mid diet', running game looked strong on the pre-practice charts. but costly injuries to halfbacks John Sal and Bill Ulrich have thrown the offensive emphasis on the passing attack. Sai started • out the pre-season practice with mononucleosis and then injured his ankle in Wednes day's practice. He will play today if n e eded, but probably won't be available for full-time duty. Ulrich, the hero of Navy's vic tory over Army last season, suf fered torn knee ligaments and was sidelined for perhaps the entire season. • , WHILE STATE will be con fronted with an offensive unit, a defensive unit and a band of two-way operatives, Navy will be up against Engle's two-platoon system. ' • The State coach is a firm be liever in the security of numbers, and if there is a weakness on this year's teem it is lacic of depth - in the line. Engle admits to a tremendous difference in talent between his first and alternate unit lines, but the main difference in the two forward walls is experience. Engle will field an all-lettered first unit line that includes 250- pound tackle Chuck Sieminski and stellar end Das( Robinson, both bona fide All-American can didates. . Unheralded veteran Gerry Far-. kas is the Lions' other tackle and Dick Anderson holds; down the other flanker-spot. Harrison Ros dahl and Joe Blasenstein are the guards and team captain Joe Ga lardi will start at center. Rosdahl and Anderson are the only juniors on the front walL • ' The Nittany backfield is equal ly talented—and the Lions have more runners than they can pos sibly use.
