THE NITTANY LIONS DO IT AGAIN University Park, Penna. Penn State is a large university with many big things. The biggest at the moment seems to be our football team. last Satur- day the Nittany Lions, before an All-University Day crowd of 47,07C defeated North Carolina State 13-8, The victory was our fifth in a row and came against a team which was previously undefeated and ranked third in the nation. This should bring us some attention when it comes to bids for post-season bowl games. Although our main deterrent in recent games seems to be the stubborn sophomore-dominated defensive unit, we also have such offensive talent as singback Charlie Pitman, quarterback Tom Sherma and end Ted Kwalick who teamed together to produce our only offen- sive touchdown on an 18 yard pass play. Denny Okontz proved the on offense is a good defense as he raced 67 yards with an intercepted pass to give State 13 points. This proved to be all that we needed as two punts and an intentional safety was all North Carolina State could manage against our stubborn defensive unit. Our remaining games are with Chio University and the University of Pittsburgh. We whould finish the season in one of the jamor bowl games, and then bring on the Philadelphia Eagles.
