to give up the ball, Collins
shook off his watchers and
caught two big first down
passes, but was too weary to
run.
Penn State put two and three
men on Collins early in the
game. The TerpS went quickly
to touchdown without throw
ing to him as the defenders on
him left other pass catchers
open. The ballyhooed battle
between Collins and Penn
States Bob Mitinger for ALI
America honors was no con-
test. Mitinger was ineffective
defensively, caught only two
passes, and cost his team 80
yards for personal fouls.
Penn States effective re-
verses and quick openers ac-
counted for 269 yards rushing,
more than double Maryland's
total, but the Terps pass de-
fense and the rushes Of the
line held Hall to 9 compile
tions in % attempts.
tumble Helps Penn State
After Maryland sent thunder
Gus cheers through the stadium
by scoring its first two times
with the ball, Penn State went
80 yards from recovered fum-
BILE to score on Roger Koch
mans 2-yard thrust.
Trailing 21-6 at halftime, the
Nittany Lions, conquerors of
Syracuse and California in
their previous two games, mar
rowed it to 21-12 on a touch
down midway of the third
quarter. The score came on a
one-yard flip on fourth down
from Hall to AL Gursky.
Stopped short Of a touch
down early in the fourth period,
the Lions made it 21-15 when
Don Jonas, minus shoulder
pads, booted a 28-yard field
goal. If Penn State could score
again and add the point, it
would have a victory.
The strategy appeared sound
when the Lions marched back
to the Terps' 4-yard line, but
then Butsko made the big de-
fenSive play.
Terps Give Safety
Maryland took over on its
nine. Three times Sinner
hugged the ball as he was hit
after short gains. Then the
Terps gave Penn State two
points. Bob Hacker centered
the ball far over Sinners head
and out of the end zone, which
set up the free kick by Collins.
Penn State had the ball for
two more plays, but Maryland
had seven men deep and wasn't
going to let this one get away.
Kochfnan, who almost went
all the way with the first two
Kickoff returns - he was
stopped once by Jim Davidson
and once by Ed Gilmore -
was ever dangerous and picked
up SO yards in 18 carries. But
when the Lions needed him
at the end his strength had
been drained by the heat and
the pounding. His teammate
Buddy ToIris, was just behind
him with 83 yards in ID
carries.
Roger Shoals, the big Mary
land tackle already drafted by
the Cleveland Browns, Bill
Kirchiro and Dave Crossan
were among those singled out
for their defensive heroics
Shoals was helped off the field
when Penn State reached the
maryland 9-yard line the dying
minutes, but one play later
after the Lions reached the 4
Shoals came back in to help
on the play.
The Maryland players were
being helped off the field in a
steady parade as the Lions hit
hard, but some Of the hitting

Lions lost IS yards and sew
