AbQut all they could do was laugh when a small fox ter rior snapped at the heels of the Penn State players as they went through their pre-game warmups. Once the game started, how ever, it was like having one football team running plays up and down the field against only token re sistance. The Lions, now 3-3, rolled to their 38-6 victory before an esti mated 30,000 people at Mountaineer Field. They also picked up 501 yards through the air and on the ground and totaled 32 first downs. Lion quarterback Tom Sherman had another big afternoon as he scored 17 points and completed a pass on a two point conversion attempt. Sherman scored first in the game on a five-yard run around left end behind good backfield blocking. He then kicked his first of two extra points. ’ Sherman’s other scores came on field goals of 36, 28. and 33 yards. It was a top performance by the junior signal caller who is gaining more poise and confidence with each game. , Lion' fullback Dan Lucyk was the game’s leading ground gainer as .he picked up 85 yards on 16 carries.

Another Lion backfield man is developing that same urge for pay dirt. He is sophomore Bob Camp bell, and he is starting to gain the respect of opposing teams. Against the Mountaineers Campbell gained 81 yards in 11 carries, scored one touchdown and caught a two point conversion pass. . , Mike Irwin, another transfer from the defensive secondary, piled up easy yardage for the Lions. The senior tailback rushed 27 yards on 9 carries and caught 6 passes for 65 yards. Split end Jack Curry also had a field day- against the Mountaineers as he caught 5 passes for 79 yards. Curry also caught two passes in the end zone but both plays were called back because of Penn State penal ties. The Lion junior has now se cured a place in the Penn State' record books. On Saturday he broke two records . . . most. receptions in a career (66) and most reception yards in a career . (966).'-..Junior Powell (1961-1963) "formerly' held the most receptions' record with 65 and Len Krouse (1939-1941) held the record for most yards with 965.

The Mountaineers picked up only two first downs in the first half and they gained only 47 yards. In the third quarter the West Virginia' offense had even tougher going as they ran eight plays and couldn’t gain a first - down. The fourth quarter they did manage to score on a nine-yard run by quarter back Tom. Digon. The two point conversion attempt failed and the Mountaineers were held to six points for the game. The big men in the State de fensive show were,Mike Reid, Mike Mcßath and Dave Rowe. It had been a matter of individual per formances before this game but against the Mountaineers all three played good ball. .. - Another big man in the State defensive effort was the roving mid dle "linebacker John Runnells.

Runnells, however, was able to outrun the Mountaineer as'he pulled him down from behind on the State 23 yard line after a 70 yard return. One of the keys to the Lions’ strong defense was the play against tailback Garrett Ford. The Moun taineer back .is' one of the nation’s top ground gainers. Going into the Penn State game, he had-gained 568 yards and had an average of 4.9 yards per carry, Against the Lions he gained 83 yards on 19 carries most of which came when the Lion second defensive unit was in the game. “We knew we had to slop Ford, on the line of scrimmage.” said the Lion head coach. “He’s the type of boy that is really tough when he has a chance'to build up steam. Our line play'was really toughj however, and he never got-started." \ Even though his team was badly • beaten, Mountaineer head coach Jim Carlen ’ had some words of praise for his- team. “I. was not happy with our performance the first half, but, the second half made me proud of my boys, they didn't quit.
