By RON KOLB AsslnUttU Sports Editor Waa it Henry David Thpreau, nr was it Wally Cox who once said, "There'f a first time for every» thing?" Whatever literary genius can claim the distinction didn't know how right he could be upon applying the' phrase to the happenings at Beaver Stadium Saturday. For Instance, there was the Penn State Blue Band lining up for its halftime show. It rocked down the field to the tune of "The St. Louis Blues March," Everyone’s All-American drum major, Charlie Rosebrock, high-stepped his way over the gridiron to his stage-center position, turned, and faced the marching contingent coming to ward him, as he al ways does, Rosobroek then prepared for his big moment, ono that ev eryone watches each weak. Ha takes his heavy baton by the ball and and flips It 25 feet In the air. He had never missed a toss yet over three years at the Job, and now. With two games left, he surely wouldn't want to drop FRANK SPAIIANI the thing lor the first ~, filter dme As lid Ittfldtl thb hbdvv ob et'l skyward, a oust bf wind, probably bloat* loburribaho Mot*, prabbbd lbs baton and oarnod it awiy front the aontor BBPfUFIttBP: R080bl ; 00k SpplHlßU iß.Wtttd 111, .but lliO talon pi kept muvmu away until it finally eime to pint' at too toot of its ownor, , Slate @nllffli woatbor bad done it attain-. It bad brought a bait to too moat popular word since fiamon Navarro retired from aetive ebariot rapine- That, of pfwrsa, wasn't the only "first" to he displayed haters a handful el fans which, hy the way, numbered fewer than any 1 seeing a game In several years at the stadlwm, when rain and anew started to whip through the bleachers it was the first time all year that the ushers Just about out numbered the spectators. Bob Copretto registered a "first,” with a'little over two minutes to play In t,he first half, It'was the initial TD of his career, scored on a 50-yard pass interception, The 8-11, 178 pound senior from .Jeannette was ecstatic after his theft 1 , Jumping up and down .as if the play were a last-second win clincher. For the pro-dental major, that first score was as egsy, as pulling teeth, Nextdtlwas Frank Spaziani’s turn to cross the goal dine for the first time ever, Spaz figures if you can’tget there running, then dive, The 8-2,210- pound defensive end did just that, rushing a fourth-quarter Bob Brown punt, hurtling through the air and deflecting it from his midsection. Spaslani got up from the ground, scooped up the ovaKand streaked for the touchdown before anyone realized what had happened. Split end Jack Curry in last week's N. C. State game became the first Penn State player in history to catch 100 passes in a career. On Saturday he caught his first touchdown pass of the season. Sur prisingly, of his 110 career catches, only four have gone for six points. His only reception for a touch down last year came in the second quarter of the final game with Pitt. Another first—Penn State went into the game for the first time all {season branded a .‘'weak” team. An article in last week’s Sports Illustrated said that “UCLA suffered two terribly narrow es capes against weaker teams—Penn State and Stan ford—that easily might have defeated the Bruins and tied Oregon State." Putting Penn State (7-2) in the same class as Stanford (5-5) Is Ilka putting the Qreen Bay Pack ers In the aama category as Klshacoqulllas High School.

C, State game), and the first time the Penn State defense outscored the offense all season, Filially, chilled fans and even those who didn’t go to the game felt like celebrating after the win, marking “Phyrst" time for everyone. ” Officiating Clinic Set For Women Referees An officiating clinic for proa- ninue changes to already rated peetive and currently rated officials.
