The shrubbery looks like it’s been trimmed by ~
a manicurist with a two-inch scissors. October 26, '
and the lawn sprinklers are still spraying their “
mists over luscious green acreage.
Chestnut Hill, Mass, may not be a typical New ;.
England town, but it's representative oi the stereo
type which has evolved. Stately flagstone homes,
quietly slipping into the mansion class, adorned
with ivy strands and ornately-carved shutters.,
The trees, almost as numerous as the two-car ;
garages over which they hang, emit an almost -
breathtaking pano
rama of color, signify-
ing that summer has
been forgotten with
the many yesterdays. JL
And yet, as one ■ jf ■
resident rakes the fall- Vhi jl
ing leaves, another
follows with a power
mower, cutting what r~<Sje|pjL. A'II
hardly grows anymore. V
And the sculpturedW ,\ \
hedges fence in each x
separate estate and

Down the road a
mile or so, Boston Col- KOLB
lege sprawls its fine architecture over a sloping
200-acre three-tiered setting. More than 10,000 stu
dents traverse the campus each day at the largest
Jesuit teaching community in the world.
In the midst of such grandeur and material
istic prosperity, just below the towers on the
Heights, lies Alumni Stadium. Bleacher seats.
Wood-frame press boxes. Seating capacity—26.ooo.
Penn State team physician Dr. Sam Fleagle
remembers the place well. He played there 30
years ago. Since then, they’ve added some seats,
paint and a tartan track. But it’s the same place.
Penn State took its fourth-ranked team to
Alumni Stadium last Saturday. One Boston news
paper called the Lions “possibly the best college 11
ever to be seen in Boston.” Undefeated and the
class of the East.
Besides that, Boston College had been fielding
one of its strongest and most exciting teams in
many years. The Eagles were 3-1, with one of the
best quarterbacks and most exciting halfbacks in
the nation. '
The Penn Slate r Boston College game drew
25.272 Boston fans. The place wasn't even filled.
Meanwhile, a few miles on the other side of
the city in Cambridge, Harvard was playing Dart- ;
mouth. Almost 40,000 fans were in attendance.
The reporters arrived late in the BC press box._ i
Many of them had transistor radios glued to their ,
ears. Harvard was playing on the other side of ;
town. Too bad they couldn’t be there.
“If this game is over quick, like a think it will,
we can all go home early,” one Bay area writer V
said disinterestedly as he took his seat. After the ;
Lions scored their first touchdown for a 9-0 lead, : :
he proclaimed, “Let’s go home.” Or to Harvard.
Jim Mulvoy works for the Boston College stu
dent newspaper. The Heights, and he knows the
somewhat sad situation at BC. K
“It’s an Ivy League town,” he said in a strong
Kennedy-type accent as he looked at all the nattily
dressed fans taking their seats. It’s awful hard for
us to drum up interest in a game like this. Now if
we’d be playing a rival like Holy Cross, we’d be
able to fill a Stadium with 100,000 people.” *
And thus only those football fans who aren’t
only interested in intra-state rivalries and Ivy
League football turned out for the Penn State
match. The others either stayed home to trim the
shrubbery, hack out the Red Sox’ chances for next i,
year, or listen to the radio for the results.
• Even listening to the radio left much to be
desired, grid intelligence-wise. After State’s 29-0
win, one announcer on Boston’s largest station said,
“The Lions were led today by their All-American,
Tommy Kway-lick, who caught five passes, one ;
for a touchdown.”
Still, Penn Stale pul on an impressive show
ing. even if a handful of Lion fans, national poll
watchers, two Orange Bowl and two Sugar Bowl
scouts were the only truly interested onlookers in
New England.
Chances are Boston College will continue to
improve over the next year or two, with coach Joe
Yukica getting a lot out of a little talent. The
Eagles will play only nine games next year, includ
ing Penn State, Army and Navy. And they’ll con
tinue to get less-than-capacity crowds at most of
the six Alumni Stadium games.
Meanwhile, as Boston College takes some small
but interesting steps into the big time. New En
gland will remain, fenced in behind the stately
walls and manicured hedges, away from the mad
dening football crowd. And Harvard will flourish.

Eagles Shut Out, 29-0
Defense,
i By RON KOLB
Collegian Sports Editor
CHESTNUT HILL, MASS. You' want to
know what kind of a day it was for Penn State
last Saturday in Boston?.
Early in the fourth quarter, Bob Campbell
enters the game to punt. Remember him? The
guy who always seems to get injured just when
it looks like he’s going to show Leroy Keyes a
trick or two.
Anyway, Campbell enters the game to punt
for the "second-unit offense on the Boston Col
lege 33 yard'line. The center snap goes about
two feet in the air and two feet backward, and
Campbell has to run forward to recover.
Now Campbell still has a sore .shoulder from
a separation, and here he is, running around
with the football while everyone from Penn
State is yelling, “Get rid of it.”
Campbell runs left. Maroon jerseys all over
the place. He runs right. More maroon jerseys.
Suddenly, finding his path to the sideline totally
blocked as BC linemen converge from all sides,
he punts. On the dead run, futilely, he punts.
‘ The ball rolls out of bounds at the three yard
line. A few minutes later, Paul Johnson in
tercepts a BC pass at the 11 and sets up the
final TD in State’s 29-0 victory. All because of a
perfectly imperfect punt that almost never
was.
Good Fortune
“We got all the breaks today,’’ Joe Paterno
said after his first shutout as head coach of the
Lions. “We were very fortunate. Boston College
did awfully .well.”
The Eagles did play a strong game, especial
ly through most of the first half, but talent
wise, they clearly were no match for State’s
undefeated units.
“A good team makes its own breaks” said a
disappointed Joe Yukica, the BC coach who
was beaten by his former college' dorm coun
selor. “Penn State has done this consistently.
And you’ve got to give credit to that defense of
theirs.”
When the breaks and opportunities were re
quired, State’s defense was there. Two Paul
Johnson interceptions led to immediate scores,
Jack Ham’s second blocked punt in as many
games led -to a third TD and, of course,
there’s that shutout, with a cast of thousands:
Steve Smear’s 15 unassisted and three assisted
tackles. Mike Reid’s 12 r total tackles, Pete
Johnson’s seven, Ham’s six, interceptions by
Mike and 'Neal Smith, etc., etc.
However, when BC’s surprise starting quar
terback Joe Marzetti ripped off 20 yards on the
second play of the game, none of the 25,272
onlookers were quite sure how'good the PSU
defense, or the Eagles, really were.
Limited Action
That opening drive eventually, stalled, as did
t every effort by both teams through the first
quarter. The Lions finally emerged from their
own goal line when Chuck Burkhart hit one of
his few early passes, a sideline toss good for 38

yards to Charlie Pittman. Three incomplete
tosses stopped the drive at the Boston College
Finally, a few minutes into the second period,
things started* happening. Pittman’s 20-yard
burst and Tom Cherry’s inside power running
moved the ball from the PSU 27 to the BC 12,
where Rusty Garthwaite broke; the scoreless" tie
with a 29-yard field goal. '
A four-play defensive effort, and State was in
business again. Charlie Wilson caught a 17-yard
Burkhart pass and Ted Kwalick caught two
others that had the New England
its collective adjectives on its collective three
piece suit. The final grabf a 31-yard over-the
shoulder impossibility, gave -the Lions a 9-0
edge.
“We had hoped we could get the ball to
Ted,” Paterno said. “He had a hot day last
year, and in football, things tend to repeat
themselves. Thank God he had a hot day
again.”
Paul Johnson’s first interception, returned to
the BC 42, led to the 17-0 halftime margin.
Kwalick caught a pass for 15 yards and scooped
another for 16, and Cherry burst over left tac
kle for the score all within 24 seconds.
Burkhart again found the All-American for a
two-point conversion.
The Eagles’ last futile effort at an upset came
when Yukica sent soph sensation Red Harris in
to replace Marzetti in the second half. But even
with his poise and accuracy, he couldn’t over
come what opponents have come to consider
the defense named Disaster.
First, after Harris’ receivers simply refused
to catch the ball, Ham led a punt rush, blocking
the kick high in the air and out of bounds at the
BC 12. One play later, Cherry went the final
eight yards for a 23-0 advantage. ■
Then Harris completed a few more: two to
Barry Gallup, one to Steve Kives and one to
Penn State defensive back Mike Smith at the
Penn State 25. Moments later, Harris even
moved his .offense to within 19 yards of a score,
but a tremendous pass rush foiled three more
passing attempts.
. Interceptions by Neal Smith and Paul John
son, and Campbell’s flaky punt, kept the Eagles
far from any threat the rest of the way. Mean
while, Lions second-unit QB Mike Cooper had
connected on a nine-yard scoring toss to leaping
Tim Horst the senior’s only TD grab of his
career as Ted Kwalick s stand-in -> to complete
the final count.
“This is an outstanding football team,"
Yukica said after seeing the Lions in action.
“It’s solid in every respect, great defensively,
with' good balance, and the type" ’of' team you
can’t try to play catch-up on. I don’t think
there’s any team better in the East.’’-'
And Joe Paterno, after listening to-an old
friend’s appraisal, added; “I hope Joe’s right."
' Army scored 57 points Saturday. This’week
end the Cadets come to Beaver Stadium.
They hope Joe’s wrong.
