It Was
First Time...
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

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.
It was the first lime Ohio University played
Penn State, and they probably wish it were the
last, Huwever, the ButMls will he eomina bank to
University Park in IMS and 10m The Nittany
Linns are mil sidietluletl In make the return trip
in Alliens,
And there were other fit-sis of leaser nolei the
first time in State §ollege history that there was
more paper in the atmosphere than moisture (gon=
fetti lay knee--deep in the aisles after the same),
the first time defensive taekle Mike Mpßath didn't
Play in a regulabseason game in his varsity career
(he injured his knee trotting off the field between
-quarters at the N. 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. ”

It look nearly eight Bern's yesterday,
but when Penn Stele accepted the bowl bid,
Lion fans everywhere breathed, a sigh or
relief, -
Not that there was much chance Ponn
Slate officials could turn down the GHtor
Bowl 1 * offer, but In a year when the nation a
top team change* every weak, when Michi
gan State ha« won two games, and when a
mediocre LBU team gets a Sugar Bowl bid,
anything can happen i
The decision to accept the bid to the
Gator Bowl came after a day-long conference
between University President Eric A, Walker
and Athletic Director Ernest B, McCoy.
Three Partial
The process of accepting a bid actually
depends on .three parties, First, it is the

It seems liko a lot of rod tape, but thero
was never much doubt about this one, The
Lions, a safe bet to finish 8-2 this year, are
enjoying their finest season since 1062- when
they ended 9-1 and went to the Gator bowl.
“I’m pleased because it’s a reward for
a job well done," Coach Joe Paterno said of
the invitation. ‘‘l’m pleased that the Gator
