' 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

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

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.”

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
