X AiVjll/ OlXk. ' Sport Scene Orange Bowl Visited Again By DON McKEE Collegian Sports Editor People checked road maps, looked at the surround ing territory, inquired of locals and went to the police for direction-' What may have started out as the heart land of upstate New York suddenly came to resemble the balmy clime of Miami Beach, Fla. Last Saturdays 15-14 Penn State win was over Syracuse, but the spirit of the Orange Bowl blanketed the stadium. When the Lions took Kansas by surprise last New Year's night on a two-point conversion with less than two minutes to play, it was called the ultimate comeback. No one would have dreamed that it could be dupli-| But Saturday’s game showed the fickle ways of fate and history, Penn State did it—again, "We're not afraid to /* Lion coach Joe Paterno said. "Just so the boys go out and do their best. I wasn't sure we'd win, but as long as we held our poise and kept hustling we had a chance. "Football's a game of attrition. Keep plugging away and something good will happen.” All the good things that could possibly happen came true at Syracuse and Penn State pulled another miracle finish out of its bag of tricks. A penalty allowed the Lions a second chance at a two-point conversion, just like in the Orange Bowl. And ]ust like that frenzied night in Miami, the Lions made the two-pointer on the borrowed chance. "The two point play put the pressure on Syracuse/* Paierno said. "If we miss, we still have time to try for the tie. Bui time was running out and we figured we wouldn't get many more shots, lei alone two-point plays." The resemblance to the Orange Bowl was uncanny. In both contests great punt returns put the Lions in the hole. Each time the defense got the ball just in time for the stuttering offense to grab another victory m a string now numbering 16. And the score stood as a mute reminder to the similarity of the two contests. Even the losing coach’s strategy was the same. Kansas’ Pepper Rogers went for the first down on a fourth and two and saw his team fail, when a field goal would have put the game beyond State’s reach. Syracuse’s Ben Schwartzwalder did the same thing, watching Greg Allen fall short of a first down while on State’s two-yard line. "We needed another touchdown," Schwartzwalder said. "We knew we couldn't throw against Penn State. Our plan was to control the ball by picking up three, four, five yards at a lime. But we couldn't afford the bad play. The big play was when we didn't score that third touchdown. “We have five more games to go but now we’re nobody. Today, we could have been somebody." The Syracuse win seemed to mean more than the Orange Bowl, though, especially to the players. “If we couldn’t have won this kind of a game,” offensive guard Chuck Zapiec said, “we couldn’t have (Continued on page eight) FOR THE STUDENT WHO NEVER WINS ANYTHING A VISA GIVE-A-WAY NEXT WEEK MCKEE | The Sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta i: j wish to congratulate ( j their new initiates I I j, | Denise Doyle 1 I and 1 V j j Diane Reese j | Welcome, Sisters!! j Whoever heard of flying Air France 707 Jet to Europe and back for only $159? you DID by XMAS CHARTER New York - London / Paris Round Trip Out: December 12th :: Return: December 23rd Bookings close October 31st: Limited Number only: Hurry before they all go For Information 238-3825 or 213 HUB (10 a.m. to Noon Weekdays) Only PSU Students, Faculty, Staff and Members of Their Families Eligible Education Student Council Orange Coach Protests NEW YORK (AP) “This is an age of protest.” said Ben Schwartzwalder, and yesterday it reached the football field. The Syracuse University coach spoke to the weekly gathering of the New York Football Writers Association and his topic was officials particularlv those from Pennsylvania. “My boys are in an utter state of depression,” Schwartzwader said about Satur day’s* heartbreaking 15-14 loss to fifth-ranked Penn State, “and I’ve got to deal with their bit terness and frustrations.” Commotion The commotion revolved around two critical penalties with less than 10 l 2 minutes to play and Syracuse, a two-touchdown underdog, ahead 14-0. The game, by the way, was played in Syracuse. Penn State threw an incomplete pass on fourth down and six at the Svracuse 15 but an interference call gave the Nittany Lions a first down at the four and they scored on the next play. They went for a two-point conversion and Franco Harris was nailed at the one after catching a pass. But a holding call gave the Lions another shot from the m and Harris ran around right end to make it 14-8. Less than three minutes later Penn State scored again, kicked the decisive extra point and extended the nation’s longest major un beaten streak to 24 ga.mcs. "I debated a long time whether to keep my mouth shut.” Schwartzwalder said, “but I have a group of boys who really care and they feel horrible about this game. They came to me af ter the game with dozens of questions and I wrote some of them down. —“Why were three officials from the state of Pennsylvania, where they cam their living? —“Why did they call pass interference when the films show no contact? —“Why did they call us for holding when the films show that their receiver banged into our man and hung him up? —“Why weren’t they called once for hold ing when their offensive left tackle was Harriers Drop Middies By 808 DrXON Collegian Sports Writer “An outstanding team ef fort” is what coach Harry Groves called it.

The Eastern College Athletic Conference assigns its officials in May. Some Questions ‘‘My analysis of the films was such that I say my boys were justified in asking some of these questions.” Schu artzwalder continued. "On the interference call, for instance, my boys say it was originally called both ways, of fensively and defensively. “I know I sound like a sorehead loser but I’m just standing up for m.v boys. If you lose faith with your boy? they won’t play for you and that’s the biggest thing in coaching today, bigger than technique.” Informed of Schwartzwalder’s remarks. Coach Joe Paterno of Penn State issued the following statement: ‘Tm disappointed that Ben Schwartz walder, after all these outstanding vears as a coach, would, by these false ac cusations. berate the tremendous effort made by his team. “Syracuse played a great football game. It’s disappointing that a leading member of the coaching profession would resort to this typo of attack after such a great game by two outstanding teams made up of fine young men.” HARLEY-DAVIDSON Minimum reduction 15% or Call 237-1501 Mind Bending Sportscasting By PENNY WEICHEL Collegian Sports Columnist CBS, I have your man. Just in case Alvy Moore becomes dissatisfied with ail the loot he’s hauling in for playing Mr. (Gee. it's a beautiful day well, it’s not ex actly a BEAUtitul day) Kimball on Green Acres, let him go. I have someone just as bumbling. Well not just as bumbling exactly—even better. A real natural for the part. Literally. His name is Tom “Mind” Bender, and he’s cur rently employed by who knows, to call the play-by-play of Penn State football games. Temporary post-game insanity is guaranteed for all listeners who make the meagerest at tempt to foliow Bender’s weekly blunders. Docs he rate an audition? Should I send you a tape of some or Dcmler’s more memorable performances? Or should I just tell you about last weekend’s Penn State- Syracuse pit drencher? He almost got through the first series of (towns without a serious attack of Kimballcse. Well, it wasn't serious ac tually. It was really rather minor. But none-the-less, a primitive form of Kimballcse. That was when Syracuse brad to punt, and “Mind” told the audience, “Punting for the Orange—John Godbolt no. it’s George Jakawenko.” Translated into modern Kimballese that means, “Punting for the Orange—John Godbolt....well, it’s not Godbolt ex actly. Actually, it's cGorge Jakawenko.” Like I said. That was a minor crisis. You should've been listening a few minutes later when the KiUaitv Lion defense (George Landis) blocked a. Jakawenko field goal attempt. Wflh a few trivial variations, this is how Bender reminded Green Acre fans of Hank Kimball: “....and the kick is blocked by big John Ebersole. No, it was Jack Ham. Well, he didn’t BLOCK it exactly. Actually he recovered it....we11, now we’re all confused because it was George Landis who recovered it. Actually.” And Bender’s multn-taicntcd. Like he doesn’t know il a guy standing in the middle of the field with nobodv within 10 feet of him caught a pass or not. He watches the ball so carefully that the listening audience can tell if something good or bad happened by the roar of the crowd before Old Eagle Eye even knows who carried the ball, and he calls punts of 20 feet that landed at midfield “beautiful,,’ So won’t you please give him a chance? But wait! I didn t even tell you about his show stopper. That came at the end of the game after Penn State won Id -14 for its 16th victory in a row Bender said, “Well, Penn State came close to having its losing streak broken (Continued on page eight) Nittany Divers MEETING October 22 7:00 P.M. 11l Boucke Dive Schedules Now Available auiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiß GERARD MILLS FACTORY OUTLET STORE f2E This Saturday 9-Noon == IM 112 Hetzel Street - Across from South Halls M lUUjOUAI., Ul-.IVJ.PIL.Ct 21, IMOJ Tau Epsilon Phi 8, Theta Delta Chi 0 Alpha Rho Chi 6, Phi Kappa Sigma 2 Phi Delta Theta 4, Kappa Sigma 4 Alpha Epsilon Pi 8, Tau Delta Phi 0 PI Lambda Ph! 6, PHI Mu Delta 2 Sigma Alpha Mu 6, Beta Theta PI 2 Sigma Chi 6, Beta Sigma Rho 2 RESIDENCE HALLS Watts T 8, Maple 0 Northumberland 8, Montgomery 0 Balsam 8, Cumberland 0 Linden 6, Locust 2 Juniper 7, Cedar 1 Jordan II 6, Williamsport 2 York 4, New Castle 4 Any degree, to tram in such fields as: Personnel, Auditing, Journalism, Operations Management, Food Man agement, Retail Management, Ac :ountlng, Engineering, Commerce, Trucking, Warehouse Management.
