As the defenses from both
squads dug in and prevented
any meaningful drives, the
47,700 fans reacted with stand
ing ovations. Other than a
botched field goal attempt by
John Huff, the name of the
game was defense in the first
quarter of play.
Penn State had the ball
when the teams traded ends of
the field and the crowd noise
had died down substantially.
But soon after Brian Masella
punted the ball away Stan
Fritts and the Wolfpack of
fense brought onlookers back
to life.
Quarterback Dave Buckey,
okho along with his twin
brother Don celebrated his
21st birthday Saturday, got
the offensive machine rolling
by sending Fritts, N.C. State's
leading career rusher,
barreling up the middle.
By mixing Fritts' slants
with triple .option tosses I to
Roland Hooks, the Pack
managed to camp deep inside
Penn State territory. Fritts
crashed into paydirt on the
14th play of the 80-yard drive
and the Pack was on top.
Mike Hartenstine slapped
down the extra point attempt.
Tom Shuman continued
having problems moving the
Penn State offense, and at the
half the score was 6-0.
But N.C. State and coach
Lou Holtz wanted more points
on the board. The wish was
granted just seven plays into
the second half whet Fritts
took a handoff, rolled to his
left and fired a - touchdown
strike, his second of the year,
to tight end Pat Hovance.k,
Again the PAT attempt
failed.
At that point, with a com
fortable 12-point lead, Holtz
was content to sit back
~and
take it easy.
"As long as our defense was
playing we just wanted to get
some first downs and some
field position," he said.
When Penn State touched
the ball on the ensuing kickoff,
the offense looked like it was
part of Gen. Sherman's Civil
War march through Atlanta.
It appeared that they weren't
going to be stopped,

Then with a third and goal
from the 3, the blitzing Pack
caught Shuman and Company
by surprise. What started out
to be an end around with Dick
Barvinchak toting the pigskin
turned out to be an eight-yard
loss.
The next play was also a big
one. On fourth and 12, Shuman
dropped back to throw. Split
end Jerry Jeram was open in
the corner of the endzone but
Shuman threw out of his
reach.
"It was supposed to be to
Natale across the middle, but
there was no way to get it to
him," Shuman offered after
the game. Jerry was down

N.C. State loss earns
Cotton Bowl invitation
By DAVE MORRIS
Collegian Sports Writer
RALEIGH. N.C. As the
Penn State players and
coaches filed into the dressing
room following Saturday's
game at Carter Stadium,
three strangers brought up the
rear of the line.
The three men wore bright
green blazers with blue and
white Nittany Lion lapel pins.
Their purpose was clear, as
the blazers were inscribed
with the name "Cotton Bowl
Classic."
They were ushered in with
the team and presented Penn
State with a 1975 Cotton Bowl
bid. Not bed, considering that
minutes before the Lions were
beaten, almost shut out, by
North Carolina State.
But the loss dint matter.
Before the game an an
nouncement was made in the
press box. In effect, writers
were told the bid would be
presented to Penn State im
mediately following the con
test. Winning or losing didn't
matter.

The Cotton Bowl Classic in
Dallas has had a streak of bad
luck. In each of the past seven
years, at least one team com
peting in the Classic has suf
fered a regular season loss af
ter agreeing to compete.
This year was no exception.
The Lions, of course dropped
an early season game to Navy,
and Texas, Texas A&M and
Baylor have been less than
spectacular in action.
When the doors to the
dressing room were opened to
the press, the actual bid had
been signed, sealed and
delivered. The Cotton Bowl of
ficials, Paterno and the Penn
State players were smiling. It
was as if the Lions had won the
game.
Players, coaches and the
Bowl bosses all got hit with the
same question: How would the
loss affect the game?
According to one of the of
ficials from Dallas, the loss
wasn't all that threatening to
the Cotton Bowl.
"I can't see any way this
will harm the Bowl," he said.
"We'll have as good teams as
any other other bowls."
Paterno thought along the
same lines:
"I wouldn't let one loss
bother'us. I'm looking forward
to it. I'm excited about it."
But Paterno is not in favor
of the bowl system. If he had a
his way, a playoff system
would be established and
existing Schedules would be
abolished.
"I've always liked the:
playoffs," he said. "We should
tell them (NCAA) we want a
playoff by 1980 and cancel all
schedules. Right now we don't
know whether we can do it or
we can't."
