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. This evening his face may
be as Ell6#l

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-.

As usual , Kochman has been
