Lions Surprise Micimi t 17-8
Special to The Daily Collegian
By PAUL LEVINE
Collegian Sports Editor
MIAMI, Fla. Just before the Boeing 727,
carrying the Nittany Lions, touched down at Miami
; International Airport, Penn State football coach Joe
Paterno 'told his players to get some sleep before the
game.
"Even if you can't sleep, get off your 'feet,"
Paterno said. "It's going to be hot and humid, and we
can't afford to be tired tonight."
. Joe was undoubtedly thinking of last week when
the slow and tired-looking defense broke down and
Navy stung the Lions, 23-22.
How much sleep the Lions got yesterday after
noon is only a matter of conjecture, but the defense
last night, as well as the offense, was wide
.awake
and fast, as Penn State toppled the highly-rated
Hurricanes of Miami, 17-8.
Penn State never trailed in the game that began
as a defensive battle in a drizzling rain and 78 degree
temperatures, and was played before 39,516_ fans in
the Orange Bowl.
After exchanging a series of punts in the first
quarter, with neither team able to mount a sustained
drive,' the Lions struck late in the second period.
Quarterback Tom Sherman marched his team 90
yards in eight plays, hitting Ted Kwalick on a 15-yard
pass for the score, with 2:24 left in the half.
Seconds before, tailback Bob Campbell made the
play of the' game, and for Penn State, the play of the
year. With a second and 10 from the Penn State 35,
Campbell took the handoff from Sherman on a scis
sors play. Cutting to the right, the Lion speedster
was bottled up at the line of scrimmage by Ted Hen
dricks, Miami's 6-7, 222-pound All-American defen
sive end.
Sophomore split end Paul Johnson held Hen
driCks off long enough far Campbell to cut back to
the left, and the 183-pound junior brought the
Orange Bowl crowd to its feet' with one of the Lions'
fanciest displays of broken-field running since the
days of Lenny Moore. Sidestepping, running around
and through the entire Miami team, Campbell
Weather Plays Havoc
With AL Pennant Race
Rain l and cold weather suddenly have
thrust themselves into the hot American
League pennant race, and a downpour or a
wave of frost could have as much effect on
the outcome of the race as Harmon Kille
brew, Carl Yastrzemski or Al Kaline.
The ;Detroit Tigers were hit by bad
weather for the second straight day last night,
and Minnesota and Boston could bb sidelined
by it today.
Rained Out
The Tigers, who can clinch at least a tie
for the pennant by sweeping four games
from California, were scheduled to open the
series Thursday night, but rain prevented
_
them from doing it.
The game was rescheduled as part of a
twi-night doubleheader yesterday, but the
temperature in Detroit dipped to 43 degrees
late in the afternoon, and the games were
called off.
That meant the - teams will have to play will play a single game Monday and the

Losers Try Again
Michigan State, Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi,
the tillen giants, try to snap back this weekend in a full
scale schedule of college football games which are bucking
one of the hottest American League baseball pennant races
in years.
Michigan State's defending Big Ten champions, rocked
37-7 last Saturday by Houston, are host to the. powerful
.Southern California team which , whipped Texas 17-13 and
moved into the No. 2 spot in the national rankings behind
Notre Dame.
The Trojans are slight favorites although Duffy Daugh
erty's boys are expected to hit with vengeance before their
followers at East Lansing. , ;
Alabama's Crimson Tide, their 17-game , winning streak
snapped by Florida State in a 37-37 tie, plays Southern
Mississippi at Mobile. Arkansas, the Southwest powerhouse
edged by Oklahoma 7-6, is favored over Tulsa at Fayette
ville. Mississippi, stunned by Memphis State 27-17, has a
date with Kentucky at Lexingtdn, Ky.
Irish vs. Purdue
Notre Dame's national champions, off to a strong start
behind the passing of Terry Hanratty, plays a traditional
nemesis, Purdue, on the latter'sfield and most other Top
Ten teams are up for stern tests.
UCLA and its scrambling 'quarterback, Gary Beban,
risk their No. 4 ranking against Washington State at Spo
kane. Georgia, - No. 5, invades Clemson. Nebraska, No. 7, is
-host to muscular Minnesota. Texas, No. 8, has a tough
game on its hands with Texas Tech at Austin.
• Houston, 'the No. 3 team, played last night. Colorado,
No. 6; is idle. Alabama-1s No. 9 and Purdue' No. 10.

Sherman Throws Two TD's
picked his way down the left sideline; shaking Hur
ricane tacklers until he was forced out of bounds at
the Miami 15.
The next play; Sherman connected with KWhlick
in the end zone, and the Lions had 6-0 lead. Abbey's
attempt for the PAT failed.
"That run of Campbell's really picked us, up,"
Paterno said after the game. "We had trouble moving
the ball until then, but after that the boys kneW we
could go all the way on one play."
But as good as Tom Sherman, Bob Campbell
and the rest of the offense were, it! was the defense
that surprised the Hurricanes, who entered the game
as 10-point favorites. The rash of injuries from the
Navy game. necessitated a patchwork defense which
held Miami scoreless until the lalt minute of ;the
game.
Sophomore Jim Kates, filling in at Mike Reid's
linebacking slot, led the ferocious rarge with eight
unassisted tackles and two assists. The oche sopho
more replacements Wally Cirafesi, Pete Johnson
and Smear , were in on a total of 14 tackles, and Cira
fesi, a former quarterback, intercepted one Hurricane
pass.
With the aid of a strqng pass rush, the Lion sec
ondary held the two Miami quarterbacks to a total
of 170 yards passing on 10 completions in 29 trys.
On the ground, Miami picked up only 69 yards.
. v,
"The defense played a grea game," Paterno said.
"All the sphomores did well. We knew we had a good
"All the sophomores did well. 'e knew we had a good
the season was over, but we were forced to go with
them earlier than we had planned." '.
Penn State scored its second touchdown late in
the third quarter, as field general Sherman began a
march to the sea that almost landed the Hurricanes
in the Atlantic Ocean. Sherman tried just about
everything on the drive, including a two•handed pass
and a quarterback sneak on first down.
On a third down and one at midfield and with
the driVe threatened, the Lion q'u'arterback rolled left
and with both haids shoveled a pass to Bob Camp
bell who took off for 23 yards. A clipping penalty
against Penn State brought the ball back to the
caled for a 60 per cent chance of showers. If
today's game can't be played, it will become
part of a doubleheader tomorrow.
Only Chicago appeared to be escaping
the threat of bad weather. The White Sox
opened a three-game series at home against
Washington last night, and Saturday's fore
cast said it would be partly sunny.
Must Be Played
Baseball rules say all games having. a
bearing on the pennant race must be playod.
Thus, if any of the contenders are raided
out tomorrow the games will be played Mon
day or whenever the weather allows them to
be played.
If one team has more than one game to
play after tomorrow, the games can be play
ed as singles rather than as a doubleheader.
Go To Monday
In other words, if Boston and Minnesota
are rained out both today and tomorrow they
Hitchcock Fired
ATLANTA (IP) Billy Hitchcock was fired yesterday
as manager by the Atlanta Braves, who, gave him the
same silent treatment they gave Eddie athews, their
veteran slugger, when traded last winter. No 'successor to
Hitchcock was named.
Two hours after the public announcement of Hitch
cock's discharge was made at a press conference, the
erstwhile manager had not been I told officially of his
removal.
Didn't Tell Him
Last winter •the Braves traded Mathews, their home
run hitting infielder of Boston and Milwaukee days, to
Houston but failed to tell him. The Braves later apologized.
' Paul Richards, vice-president; of the Braves, an
nounced Hitchcock's removal. While no successor was
named, Luman Harris is regarded las a strong possibility.
"The only regrets I have," Hitchcock added, "are that
I didn't do a better job as mOn,ager for- the wonderful
fans in the Southeast—and that
,the people I work for
didn't have the decency to inform'me that I had been fired.
Comes As Relief
"This comes as a relief,", said Hitchcock, who was not
expecting to be retained because the Braves are winding
up their worst season in 15 years. "But I'm upset by how
it happened. ~. .
"I was told about it by a newspaper man three hours
before the announcement, but the Brave_ still haven't
told me about it."
Asked about Hitchcock's statement that he was not
told in advance, Richards said, "We tried to get in touch
with him and couldn't. T-' Richards said he had nothing to
add to that comment.
Told that Richards said he had offered Hitchcock a
job in the Braves organization, Hitchcock said,,"we talked
about that possibility during the summer, but nobody
has told me yet that I was being a feleased." ,

HARRISBURG (AP)—Gov.

the winner of tomorrow's Na
tional ;Football League game
between Philadelphia an d
Pittsburgh would receive a
Governor's Trophy.
• Shafer said th e trophy
would' be symbolic of the

ootball championship, since
the game involves the state's
only two NFL teams.
T 4 I trophy? A, larger than
life-size, football carved out
of anthracite coal. The gov

attend the game, being played
in Philadelphia, !.?.cause of a
long standing commitment to
dedicite a hospital near
Coudersport.
BEAT
UCLA
Miami 42, but the Lions were still on the move.
The next play, Campbell rolled right with a
pitchout on the option, stopped, and threw a strike
to Jack Curry for an 18-yard. gain. After a 14-yard
Sherman pass to tight end Kwalick, and a Dan Lucyk
run, hard-throwing Sherman lined a bullet to full
back Don Abbey in the end zone. A pass to Jack
Curry for a two-point conversion' gave the Lions
14-0 lead at the end of the third quarter.
Sherman, ari, inconsistent passer last year, has
now made it two good games in a row. He hit on 15;.
of 24' passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns
against the tough Miami defense, and moved his,
offense a total of 403 yards. Kwalick terrorized the
Hurricane secondary as he hauled down nine passes
(one short of Curry's single-game record), for 89
yards. Seven of Kwalick's receptions came in the
second quarter. Curry - caught five passes for 107
yards.
• The Lions made the score 17-0 with a 24-yard
Don Abbey field goal in the fourth quarter, but the
Hurricanes finally got on the scoreboard with 40
seconds remaining in the game. Quarterback Bill
Millgr tossed a '24-yard scoring pass to split end
Jimmy Cox and , connected with Bill Deßoss on a
pass for the two-point conversion.
After the game, disappointed Miami coach
Charlie Thee had words of praise for the Lions.
"Penn State's got a rough, tough football team," Thee
said. "Their defense was stronger than I expected.
On offense, they seemed to get the big play when
they needed it. We had the chances, plenty of them,
but our execution was off."
For Joe Paterno, it was the biggest win of his
career, and the Lion mentor is now looking ahead to
next week when Penn State returns home to face
rugged UCLA. "This was a good, solid Miami team
we beat tonight" he said, "but UCLA is a lot quicker,
maybe too quick."
How does he, expect the Lions to do against Gary
Beban and his fellow Bruins? "Penn State has always
had trouble early in the season. We'd get off to a 1-2
or 2-3 start. Now ,the morale is high and .we're
coming off a win. The momentum is there."
