PAOB’ EIGHT State's Devastating Defense Does It Again By PAUL IfiVINS CoHeptan Sports Editor Penn State has always had a passion for .veonuting high-school quarterbacks, although not necessarily intend ing to make them Nittany Lion signal callers. The theory seems to be that a schoolboy who is an outstanding quarterback—the most demanding position in football —can do almost anything on the gridiron. And the theory looks even better when put into practice. This sea son, no fewer than six former higH-school field generals are playing new positions at Penn State. Three of that number were in State’s starting defensive lineup last Saturday. The three —former offensive stars — Bob Carpretlo, Dennis Onkotz and Frank Spaziani—may have missed their days of headlines and scoring records, but' they haven’t forgotten what to do with the football. , Scoring touchdowns on an intercepted pass, a punt re turn and a blocked punt, the emigrants from the offense led Pehn State to a 35-14 victory over Ohio University at Beaver Stadium. In accounting for the three touchdowns, the defense not only paved the way to the Lions’ seventh win, hilt also outscored their offensive counterparts, who managed only two TD’s. Not surprisingly, one of the of fense’s touchdowns was scored by its famous, former quar terback, Jack Curry. Long overdue for a touchdown, the little split end from Danville hauled in nine passes for 140 yards. His ninth re ception, a' patented Sherman-to-Curry sideline pass, was good for 22 yards and a score. It was Curry’s first touch down of the year, although he has caught three two-point conversion passes. However, the fourth quarter Curry touchdown, making the score 35-6, was just icing on the cake. It was the de fensive trio's scoring contributions that gave the Lions the needed breathing room. ' With Penn State leading only 7-6 in the second quarter, defensive halfback Capretto did his damage. Ohio quarter back Cieve Bryant, who had been running the Lion de fense silly, went ta the air from his own 20, Capretto nicked off-the pass along the sideline ai midfield, and, aided by a dim tntteretle block, raced ail the way for the score, tt was the first collegiate touchdown for the former Jeannette High School quarterback, , .

Spaz, one of State’s most iversatile perform ers, didn’t move to the defense until after fall practice op ened. Last year, as a sophomore, he played all four offen sive backfield positions, although he came from New Jer sey’s Johnston Regional High as a quarterback. But the 6.2, 210-pounder, who, if given a choice would just as soon run through a wall than walk around it, has been so impressive at his new position, that he may never see the offense again.

Both the acting field generals, Penn State's Tom Sherman and Ohio’s Cleve Bryant, sparked their team’s offensive drives. The Lion quarterback connected on 14 of 28 passes for 193 yards and set a couple of records in the process. Through nine games, Sherman has passed for 1,407 yards, breaking Jack White’s record 1,275 yards of 1965. Sherman has also topped White’s season total offense mark, as the Lion senior -Mias gained 1,552 yards running and passing this year. The old mark was 1,342 yards. Although Sherman connected 1 with Curry seemingly at will, he had trouble getting to his tight end, Ted Kwalick.

''They had the monster on him most of the day. We saw the'curl area open, and they covered Curry one ; on-one most of the day. We can usually get the ball to Curry in one-on-one coverage." Had Lions Gasping Ohio's Cleve Bryant, one of the nation’s tptal offense leaders, hit on only 7 of 25 passes, but his running had the Lion defense gasping for air in the first half. By intermis sion, Bryant had already run, 13 times for a net 73 yards gained, and it was only the Lions’ defensive scoring that gave State the lead. | “He’s an awfully dangerous quarterback.” Paterno said of the Ohio sophomore. “I don’t think he had one of his better days. He’s not quite as smooth and poised as Beban, and I wouldn’t like UP compare him now with some of the other quarterbacks we’ve seen, but he's a good one. and he’ll probably become; a great one.” Bryant’s running was somewhat stifled in the second half, as he ended the day with a net of 83 yards on the ground. “We didn't lake any - big changes to adjust (o Bry ant's running," Paterno said. “We just tried to gel our people io take off a little quicker. We were a little light in the first half. We' were much more agressive the second half.” Few Bright Spots On offense, however, the Shcrman-Ourry combination was one of the few bright spots. Fullback Don Abbey, who scored the game’s first touchdown, was the Lions' leading rusher with 31 yards 1 “Penn State wasj real good defensively,” said Ohio coach Bill Hess, whose Bobcats ended the season at (i-4. “We expected them to be real good on defense, because that’s where their strength is. But I still thought Penn State would be much stronger offensively than they were today.” Joe Paterno agreed.

A belated stab at bloplqng the phot fell s|wl. Rentschler's goal only added insult to injury as the Lions had already ,put the game beyond the Panther’s reach. After a'sjow.atart, the team clicked for its largest point production in over two years, burying the Panthers, 7-1. Two Goals Headed The game was a departure from the usual in several instances, Rentschier’s goal being just one of them. The Lions headed in two goals, one after a penalty kick and one following a corner kick. I In the fourth quarter, with the Lions holding a com fortable 4-0 lead, coach Ken Hosterman removed tHe first team and the reserves got a chance to claw the Panthers. Mike High, a sophomore who had not seen action before Saturday, scored two goals on the shattered Pitt defense. Even the weather got into the act. At the start of he contest the sun was! shining brightly and gave every ap pearance of good soccer weather. By. the second half sno\w was falling and the ,icy wind played tricks with the ball in all corners of the; field. Near the end of the match the sun broke through the clouds again, providing a sunny ending to State’s first winning campaign since 1963. The Lions finished at 5-4-1. The first period was scoreless as both teams struggled on the sloppy field. Snow was piled along the sidelines, a leftover from the storm the night before. Pitt was on the attack earlyj in the second quarter, giving. Lion goalie John Turchek the chance to turn in two fihe saves. With 8:40 gone in the period. State got a break which, gave it the momentum to run away with the game. Pitt Was called for, tripping in the penalty zone and the Lions were awarded ; a free kick. Art Morris lined the ball to the left of the goal and Barry Giberman, who had slipped behind the Panther defensive wall headed in forthe score. It was the fourth goal of the season for Giberman a senior, who closed out his career on a bright note. Near the end of the half Bill Snyder penetrated the Pitt defense and fired State into a 2-0 lead with a six-yard goal. Lions Bomb Pill The final half was wild and unorganized as the Lions slammed five goals past the harried Pitt goalie.
