Jesse Jackson, planned a march and a motorcade through the neigh borhood Saturday afternoon to show support for the two families targeted by the protests. Stefan Presser, an American Civ il Liberties Union attorney, asked a federal judge Saturday to let PUSH stage the demonstration, arguing that the mayor’s order was uncon stitutional. Goode told U.S. District Judge William Ditter Jr., “I feel that we have a time bomb which is ticking, and that we have a potential to take and pull that fuse out and prevent it from exploding.” Goode, who toured the area ear lier in the day, said, “If anyone marches on that neighborhood to day, we will lose control.” He said Pulsar the two-week ban on public demon strations was needed as a cooling off period. Ditter did not rule on the ACLU request as PUSH leaders agreed to call off the march, a decision praised by Bennie Swans, head of the city’s Crisis Intervention Net work. About 400 people demonstrated Wednesday in front of a house re cently bought by Charles Williams and Marietta Bloom, who are black, for themselves and their 7-year-old daughter. The next night, 200 people ap peared in front of the home of Gerald and Carol Fox, who moved into their row house Sunday with their two children.

If they could have upset the football team for the second time in as many seasons, a bowl bid might have been waiting. A win also would have given the critics who want to fire Head Coach Foge Fazio something to think about. Visiting Penn State, however, had respect and much more on the line Saturday evening at Pitt Stadium. Although they had accepted an Orange Bowl bid to meet Oklahoma nearly two hours before kickoff, a loss would have dropped the Lions from the No. 1 spot in the polls, se verely damaging the team’s hopes of • * tjU'.fyr’ > -f* > J * , *>*** .■**»;> # , * <V‘?''-T *** ' iMwi An . v , .*■ , , ■•* V \A /■ , » ; *«1» . ~ , ~J i -'■> ' M ‘' ' <’-' "V'-“ * ' • ' 'i S , Penn State’s Tim Manoa (44) outraces the Pitt defense to the end zone in Saturday night’s game at Pitt Stadium. Manoa’s 60-yard TD run in the second quarter was one of the key plays in the Lions’ 31-0 victory over the Panthers. Penn State now faces Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl in Miami on Jan. 1. Lions' season silences critics By CHRIS LINDSLEY Collegian Sports Writer After losing to Pitt 31-11 to end last season with a mediocre 6-5 record, it was time for Joe Paterno to do some soul searching. What had gone wrong in season ending beatings by Notre Dame (44- 7) and Pitt? Paterno’s teams had always gotten better as the season progressed, not worse. After the Pitt debacle he called his players a “bunch of babies,” saying there was one person to blame for that, and that was himself. “I didn’t do a good job for my football team last year coming down the stretch,” Paterno said, “and I didn’t do a good job for my coaching staff. I didn’t give them a chance to coach. . . I did chew out my kids last year, but in my mind it was me it wasn’t the kids.” Whoever it was, it was Paterno’s worst record since his first team went 5-5 in 1966, and for the first time many questioned whether Paterno might be losing his touch after 19 years at the helm. And with the 1985 Lions opening up at Maryland, ranked by some as high as No. 1 in pre-season polls, many questions could be answered if Penn State opened up 1-0. its second national championship in four years. Early in the contest it appeared that the Panthers were going to spoil the Lions’ holiday plans. Despite holding a 7-0 lead midway through the second quarter, the team was having problems with the Pitt defense. Suddenly, almost shockingly to the 60,134 spectators who jammed Pitt Stadium, the Lions scored two touch downs in a span of 19 seconds and then cruised to a 31-0 victory. The victory secured the 11-0 Lions’ fifth undefeated, untied regular sea son since Joe Paterno became the head coach in 1966. More importantly to the players, it meant Penn State will be playing for its second national title in four years when it faces the No. 5 Sooners (a 27-7 winner over WHBh . ' ' '«■ *. 4 Hn, u «• : - . ""• - i'-,y ''•'<w< ;'J»j^: '**e*agfpl§ The Lions did score a come-from behind 20-18 triumph at Maryland, and the rest, as they say, is history. Of any of Paterno’s past squads, this one is perhaps most representa tive of the former Brown quar terback, who has the best winning percentage of any coach with 12 or more years experience. Paterno has long advocated that kicking and defense win games and in those areas Penn State has been close to perfect. Placekicker Massimo Manca has hit on 21 of 26 field goal attempts, and his roommate and punter John Bruno has been the model of consistency all season, averaging 42.9 yards per punt. And while the offense has struggled throughout the season, the defense has been the major force in the Lions’ 11-0 record and No. 1 ranking. Repeatedly the defensive 11 has stopped the opposition with the game on the line, and has caused 36 oppo nent turnovers, while the Pennn State offense has turned the ball over just 20 times, for a +l6 takeaway margin on the season, compared to a -6 last season. “Our defense is a year older, those kids all played a tough schedule last year,” Paterno said. “I think you Joe Paterno No. 2 Nebraska Saturday), on New Year’s Night in Miami. The Panthers dominated the scoreless first quarter, holding the ball nearly four minutes longer than the Lions and limiting Penn State’s offense to 26 yards in 16 plays. “They stuck a couple of blitzes in there with their linebackers that real ly gave us trouble with the pass,” Paterno said of Pitt’s first-quarter defense. “We had gone into the foot ball game wanting to try and throw the ball early, to try and get (Pitt’s defense) loosened up. “We weren’t getting any pass pro tection, so we just had to put our ears back and go ... we made up our minds that we were going to have to run on them.” And it was a seven-yard run by w?* 1 have to give them credit... I think that we’ve had good kids we’ve challenged them. They’ve got a lot of character. They wanted to be good, and they’ve been mature.” Mature may be an understatement. In their last five games, the first team defense has given up but one touchdown, a 54-yard run by Boston College’s Ken Bell, while shutting out West Virginia and Pitt in the process. But for Paterno, who completed his fifth unbeaten regular season as Li ons’ mentor in style by trouncing arch-rival Pitt 31-0 in Pittsburgh, he didn’t expect such a big turnaround so soon. “We’ve always talked national champions,” Paterno said. “I tried to tell some people a year ago, in the middle of the year, that we are al ways trying to build a club that will be a national championship contend er every two or three years ... I think we are a little bit ahead of where I thought we would be since there’s only six or seven kids on the squad that don’t have another year of eligibility if they want it.” After last season, however, nation al championships were the furthest things from Penn State supporters’ minds. For the first time since 1970 the Lions weren’t going to a bowl game, and Paterno was the first to admit that that squad had a lot of work ahead if it was to be a compet itive football team. But for offensive guard Todd Moules, a member of Penn State’s only national championship team, he knew the talent was there. “I thought about it this summer,” Moules said. “I thought this team had a lot of potential as hard as it was working, and the togetherness that we had on this team, and so far it’s really worked out for us.” For quarterback John Shaffer, once the 1985 Lions took the field he felt there was no limit to how far they could go. “It kind of slapped us in the face that first game when we realized how good we were,” Shaffer said, “and we felt that if we could continue to play the games and work hard, we’d have every confidence that when Saturday came along, we’d win the football game.” That confidence has been demon strated seemingly game after game, as Penn State has come from behind six times this year to pull out victo ries, and when things need to get done, no one has done a better job than Shaffer. Shaffer hasn’t lost a game he’s started since seventh grade, and he’s Please see Paterno, Page 12 Collegian Photo / Dan Oloski tailback D.J. Dozier that got the Lions on the scoreboard at 13:46 of the second quarter. However, the Lions still appeared lethargic as the six-minute mark approached. Then it happened. On a third and six from the Penn State 40, fullback Tim Manoa took the handoff on a draw play and quickly broke through the Panther line. Ma noa cut down the left sideline and left the Panthers staring in disbelief as he outraced cornerbacks John Lewis and Teryl Austin for a 60-yard touch down. “I came through the hole and I saw the big hole and my eyes just opened up,” Manoa said. “I said ‘l’ve got to do it.’ I saw the guy coming from the side and I thought he was going to catch me. I went for it and I got it.” The ensuing kickoff was returned to the Panther 28, but a clipping penalty brought the ball back to the 14. On the next play, Pitt quarterback John Con gemi was hit by the Lions’ Don Gra ham as he backpedaled into the Penn State end zone. Congemi fumbled the ball and inside linebacker Pete Gifto poulous recovered for the score. “It felt good,” the 6-2, 243-pound native of Hamilton, Ontario said of his touchdown. “I haven’t had one since high school.” The quick scoring spree was com pleted when Massimo Manca con verted his 27th extra point attempt of the season. The Lions’ 14 points in 19 seconds ended the game for all in tents and purposes, but the Panthers had a final gasp as the half drew to a close. Pitt regained the ball and drove from its own 45 to the Lion seven with four seconds left. Gongemi’s pass to Chucky Scales was incomplete in the back of the end zone, but it was ruled that Duffy Cobbs interfered on the play as time expired. The Panthers had one last chance on an untimed down from the Lion two. Fullback Darnell Stone took the handoff and, for a brief moment, had a massive hole through the middle of the line and appeared headed for the touchdown that could revive Pitt. However, as Stone lunged for the end zone, he was met by linebacker Rogers Alexander, who seemed to materialize out of nowhere. Alexan der drove Stone back and then Ray Pitt’s John Lewis (4) vents his frustrations on teammate Darrel Woods late in Saturday night’s game. The 31-0 Penn State victory ended the Panthers’ season at 5-5-1 and left them once again wondering what went wrong. Pitt players confused after loss By CHRIS RAYMOND Collegian Sports Writer .PITTSBURGH - When Pittsburgh left the fteld for the locker room Saturday after a 31-0 loss to No. 1 Penn State, the overriding emotion among the players was not one of frustration, but confusion. For as the Panthers quietly shed their uniforms and returned to civil ian, dress, they had time to reflect on their season and a number of ques tions for which they had no answers questions concerning the tenure of Head Coach Foge Fazio (25-18-3), questions concerning their 5-5-1 finish and questions concerning the game they had just lost. Less than four hours earlier, the Panthers had entered the contest with high hopes for an upset and an opportunity to recapture a little re spect, but true to the pattern they had followed all season, they quickly shat tered those hopes with careless mis takes. “We just played very, very sloppy and Penn State took every advantage they could,” Fazio said afterwards. “We just made too many dog-gone mistakes too many penalties, inter ceptions, fumbles we just couldn’t put anything together.” The Pitt defense controlled the pace of the game for the first 15 Bob White (34) pressures Pitt quarterback John Congemi in Saturday night’s game at Pitt Stadium. White and the rest of the Penn State defense held the Panthers scoreless to chalk up the Lions’ second shutout in their last five games. Isom applied the finishing touches, dropping the senior a yard short. “They had an unbalanced line strong and that was the first time they’d done that the whole second quarter,” Alexander said “He tried to cut back and I guess he thought we’d be overplaying a whole bunch. I just happened to be stepping in the hole. I was kind of playing the cutback, because I knew I couldn’t get all the way over to the other side. Penn State’s defense held the Pan thers to 114 yards in the second half while intercepting three passes and recovering its second fumble of the game. Offensively, the Lions added two more scores in the fourth quarter, the first a three-yard scoring run by minutes of play, sacking Lion quar terback John Shaffer three tirries to set the Lions back a total 26 yards and give the Panther offense excellent field position. However, the offense could muster no more than three first downs in the first quarter. “We had great field position in the first quarter and we just stopped ourselves,” Fazio said. “You don’t get the ball in that kind of field position against Penn State and not take advantage of it and we just didn’t do that.” In fact, the Panthers’ strongest scoring threat didn’t surface until time had already expired in the sec ond quarter. Moments after Lion cornerback Duffy Cobbs was called for interference in the endzone, Pitt fullback Darnell Stone took a handoff on second and goal from the two-yard line and raced toward a gaping hole in the Penn State line. The 6-1, 215- pound senior was stopped dead in his tracks one yard later when inside linebacker Rogers Alexander ap peared out of nowhere to smother the Play- Stone’s brief glimpse into the end zone would be the last for any Panth er this season as the Penn State defense closed the door on the Pitt offense in the final stanza. The Panthers’ impotent attack was typical of how things had gone all The Daily Collegian Monday, Nov. 25, 1985 Manoa, which finished a nine-play, 63-yard drive. Manca’s 40-yard field goal, with 8:59 left, finished out the scoring. Tri-captain Todd Moules expected the Lions to have a strong season after last year’s uncharacteristic 6-5 finish, but he never thought the Lions would go undefeated before the sea son began. “Right from the preseason we knew that we had a lot of potential,” Moules said. “We started yellling 5-0 after the Alabama game and 6-0 after the Syracuse game. I think that’s when people started thinking ‘Hey let’s go for it, we can be undefeated and play for the national championship.’ ” And now they have their chance. season, quarterback John Congemi said. “We took the ball and stuffed it down the field and didn’t get any points out of it,” Congemi said. “There’s not many teams in the na tion that take six-, seven-, eight-min ute drives and don’t get any points out of them. “ (This season) it was always some thing a penalty, a dropped pass, a mistake on the line, a mistake I made or a mistake someone else made that prevented us from putting the ball in the endzone. If we could have just put our finger on that, we could have pushed our record up.” While keeping the Panthers off the scoreboard, the poor play of the Pitt attack contributed to the Lions’ offen sive production. Penn State con verted two of five Panther turnovers into 10 points when inside linebacker Pete Giftopoulos recovered a Con gemi fumble in the endzone for a touchdown and kicker Massimo Man ca booted a 39-yard field goal after a 30-yard interception return by Lance Hamilton. The Pitt defense, ranked fourth in the nation against the rush, experi enced problems similar to those of the offense as Penn State running backs carried for 223 yards on the day, well above the 91.3-yard average for Panther opponents.
