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, , .
That must have given some other former quarterbacks.

the end zone for his first touchdown as a Penn Stater-
But it wasn’t just the former quarterbacks who enjoy
ed a good day. 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.
The Lions’ All-American candidate caught two passes for
24 yards, and relinquished the team’s receiving leadership

has 32 wept tons for MR yards,
"The way Ohio played that three-deep ?nne, and the
fad that they, blitz; so, touch, made It difficult fm- us lo do
some things we usually like to do with Kwalick," coach
Joe Paterno said after ihe game. ''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.
"Our defense Mid a great Job," Palerno said, "bill our
offense is still Very mtunsislenl. t was a little dlsappuinted
with our uffeiise."!

hot waled the.hall sail into the net. 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. Snyder
