WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1967 Injuries Hit Defense By PAUL LEVINE Collegian Sports Editor The already depleted Nittany Lion; defense received another jolt yesterday when it was learned that senior defensive halfback Bob Capret to would be lost for an indefinite period of time. Dr. William C.. Grasley,' Penn State team physician, said that x-rays disclosed Capretto is suffering from a broken rib resulting from an injury in last week’s Navy game. Capretto is the third member of the Lions’ first string defensive unit to be sidelined by injury. Raid Lett for Year The worst blow, the loss of All- American prospect Mike Reid, will (keep the 8-3, 235-pound linebacker out of action for the remainderof the year. Reid severely sprained his knee in the first quarter against Navy, after entering the game only 1 a few" plays before. It now looks as if Massive Mike will undergo exploratory sur gery. There is a chance that Reid, only a junior, may be' awarded an extra year of eligibility, thus enabling him to play both the 1968 and 1969 football seasons.

Two years ago, when Roger .Grimes (vas in a similar situa tion (he was injured in the second game of 1965), [the request for an ex tra year was denied. The third injury in the defensive ranks will keep sophomore tackle John Ebersole out of the starting line up in Friday night’s game at Miami. The 6-3,- 220-pound tackle was another victim of a knee sprain.

But the inexperience ip the back field may not be the'biggest problem of the shaky defensive unit which al lowed a total of 496 yards to the Navy offense. The loss of Reid changes the entire structure of the Sate defense. Rarely has one position been so im portant. "With Reid out of the lineup, we give up roughly* an extra four to six touchdowns a year,” coach Paterno said. “Besides his great physical ability, the team got a psychological lift just by having him on the field. Now, we’v.e got to learn to get along with out him." Offense Fairly Sound While the defense is reeling from the casualties, the offense is fairly sound except for a pre-seasdn injury to senior tackle Jack Sain which has sidelined the 6-5, 245-pounder, for an indefinite period. • The high-powered Lion offense, which came to life in the second half of last Saturday’s 23-22 loss to Navy, will have its hands full Friday night in Miami. Although the Hurricanes were upset, 12-7, by Northwestern, their defense, led by All-American end Ted Hendricks, is one of the best in the country. Penn State tailback Bob Campbell and defensive safe ty Tim Montgomery were honored yesterday by the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference as they were named two of the East’s top performers in football games last weekend. Campbell, who did a little bit of everything In State’s 23-22 loss to Navy Saturday, was picked on the All-East offensive first team. The 6-0, 190-pound junior carried the ball 12 times for 88 yards rushing, caught five passes .for 49 yards, punted twice for a 40-yard average, returned four kickoffs for 152 yards, ran back a punt six yards and scored two touchdowns. For his efforts, Campbell was chosen the game’s out standing .back. He scored once on a seven-yard sprint and again, late in the game, on a 20-yard scoring pass from quarterback Tom Sher man. That strike was almost enough for a PSU win with 1:44 remaining, but the Mid dies connected with' a last minute bomb to win. “Montgomery is a 5-10, 185-’ pound senior and a veteran in the Nittany Lion secondary. At Navy Saturday, he inter cepted two John Cartwright passes and returned them 42 yards. His efforts earned him the distinction of being the East’s defensive player of the week. tUI AMIMCAM ROAD, DIAMOIH, MICHIGAN AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IMIIOItR. I'd like a big job please.
