Dreibelbis:
After going to Harrisburg last week for a
look into Pennsylvania Insurance
Commissioner Herb Denenberg’s crystal
ball, the Collegian decided to come back
home this week for a local seer, State
Representative Galen Dreibelbis who
oversees the State College area.
Working.in a college town, it comes as no
surprise Dreibelbis knows his. college
football. It also comes as no surprise that he
picked the Lions.
“I’ve seen the Lions at home and away,”
Dreibelbis said, “and again they show the
signs of being a well-coached team. They do
everything well and nothing spectacular
which is the mark of a good team.”

OAKLAND (AP)— Jim
“Catfish” Hunter, Oakland’s
top money: pitcher, gave the
A’s another shot yesterday at
baseball’s biggest prize.
His five-hitter beat the

and set up the World Series

and the New York Mets.
“Charlie Finley, our owner,
has told us that if we win the
World Series again, those
rings he gave us last year are

Hunter, a 21-game winner

Army: bad as it seems?
By ray McAllister
Collegian Sports Editor
Oklahoma is at Texas, LSU is at
Auburn, Air Force is at Colorado,
Nebraska is at Missouri, Maryland is at
North Carolina State, UCLA is at
Stanford and Pitt is at West Virginia.
Army is at Penn State.
In the week of big games, Penn State is
inflicted with something less so. After
difficult encounters at Stanford and Air
Force, Penn State comes home to host a
team which California beat 51-6.
California, incidentally, was beaten 66-0
by Alabama early in the season.
And, if last year can be a yardstick,
the Lions beat Army 45-0.
A pushover, right?
Not necessarily. As always, Penn
State coach Joe Paterno is
apprehensive. There are, he says, good
reasons tq be so.
“You’ve got to forget the Cal game,”
he said yesterday afternoon. “After they
had had such tremendous success
against Tennessee, they weren’t ready
for Cal. They weren’t very sound which
is very unlike the Army football team.
“They got behind and began to second
guess. They just lost their poise and
became unglued. Like I said, it’s very,
unusual for an Army team.”

Though the Cadets have yet to win in
three games, they put up impressive
performances against highly-regarded
Tennessee (trailing only 23-18 early in
the final quarter before falling 37-18) and
Georgia Tech (losing 14-10).
Nonetheless, seventh-ranked Penn State
rates between a four-and five-touchdown
favorite for the 1:30 p.m. encounter in
Beaver Stadium.
But, Paterno says, his crew hardly is
overconfident. “There might have been
a tendency for them to feel that way but
once they looked at the Tennessee and
Georgia Tech films they knew better.
They know Army is capable of beating
anyone on their day.”
There are a number of factors which
may make it difficult for the Cadets to
have “their day.” First, says Paterno,
“we’ve practiced well all this week—not
just one or two practices. In fact,
probably we’ve practiced as well this
week as we have at any time this year.” ,
Additionally, the Cadets will be up
against a defense which ranks first
against the rush in the nation. The Lions
thus far have given up 145 yards on the
ground, for a per game average of 36.3.
In scoring defense, the Lions rank;
seventh nationally, having allowed 23

points (5.8 per game average), and they
rank 12th in total defense, having
allowed 818 yards (204.5 average).
Offensively, the Lions also have a
couple ranked high. Tailback John
Cappelletti, who rushed for a career high
187 yards at Air Force last week, is 13th
with a 113.5 per game average.
And Gary Hayman rates second
among punt returners wih a 19.4
average return.
Army’s best chance of denting the
Lions’ vaunted defense rests largely on
the arm of Kingsley Fink, who hit on 23
of 35 passes against Tennessee for a
school record of 326 yards. Fink
currently ranks as the nation’s ninth
leading passer with 45 completions in 85
attempts for 600 yards and three scores.
Fink, who sat out last year’s Penn
State contest with an injury, is not quite
the QB the Lions saw two years ago.
“He’s always had a . good arm,”
Paterno said, “but he’s much steadier
now, he’s much more in command. He’s
got a feel for what he’s doing.”
And if he hasn’t, Penn State’s defense
well could. give him a feeling for what it’s
doing. The defense has sacked opposing
quarterbacks 22 times for 158 yards in
losses already.

The right-handed control
specialist didn’t allow a hit un
til Andy Etchebarren,
Baltimore’s leading hitter in
the playoffs, stroked a two-out
double in the fifth inning. No
Baltimore runner got any fur
ther than second base during
the game, which drew only

Coliseum on a sunny da>\
The A’s, who blew a 4-0 lead
Wednesday, staked Hunter to
his 3-0 lead with one run in the
third and two in the fourth.
Joe Rudi drove in the
opening run, scoring Ray
Fosse from second base with
a sharp single to left field off
Orioles starter Doyle
Alexander. Fosse reached
base on the first Baltimore
error of the playoffs, charged
to Brooks Robinson, when the
third baseman knocked down
a hard grounder but fell.
Dick Green sacrificed
Fosse to second'and Berty
Vampaneris popped up before
Rudi singled.
Vic Davalillo and Jesus
Alou, two players acquired
from National League teams
in separate transactions on
July 31, drove in the fourth
inning runs and knocked out
the 23-yeqr-old Alexander,
making his first pitching
appearance since Sept. 28
and his first post-season
appearance ever.
Baltimore Manager Earl
Weaver brought in 22-game
winner Jim Palmer, who
started Wednesday’s game,
and Palmer held the A’s
scoreless=the rest of the way.
But the right-hander
Hunter, winner of the second
playoff game against
Baltimore, had all the runs he
needed.
