There wasn’t much for the West
Virginia football fans to cheer about
on Saturday. 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.
Before the season started the Lion
coaching staff had • reservations
about starting Lucyk because they
thought he was too slow. -, • ■

gained only 83 yards in 19 carries. Most of
Ford's yardage came in the final quarter
when the Lion second string defense was
in the game. Slate had no problems getting
its offense going as they outgunned the
Mountaineers 38-6 with Tom Sherman
leading the Lion scorers with 17 points.
veloping a keen sense of smell for
the opposing team’s end zone.-As
long as he can pick up seven or
- eight yards per carry, the Lion
coaching staff doesn’t care if he
hobbles through the line.
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.
Coach Paterno was well pleased -
with his offensive units' performance
“I would say it was our best game
-of the seasori,” said the-Lion head
coach. “We were tough defensively
against Maryland,, but this has to '

be our best offensive effort. We did
not have a lot of wasted or .busted
plays, -and we got, ahead quick.
They had no chance" to put the
pressure on our defense.”
West Virginia’s offensive unit
never really got started against the
Lions', first defensive team. 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. The
heto, as he is, called on the defensive
team, has, the'task of covering the

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

first half, but, the second half made
me proud of my boys, they didn't
quit. They just played k better foot

The stin shone brightly over
Penn State last Saturday after
noon. As the Lion football team
was busy annihilating West Vir
