Will Penn State Repeat 1970 Story? STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) In 1970. Penn State started out the football season on a tos- ing note and a young sophomore quarterback tuned the team around. The Nittany lions were when Coach Joe Paterno gave the ball to John Hufnagel in 1970. Hufnagel and the Lions knocked off Army that week, then finished the season with a 7-3 record.

It's 1976. Lions have dropped three straight games, have a 1-3 mark, and, ironically, face Army this week. "This time, sophomore quarterback Chuck Fusina gets his first starting assignment. But Paterno did not demote anybody as he did in 1970. REPLACES ANDRESS Fusina replaces John Andress, who suffered a shoulder injurv in last week's 22-6 loss to Kentucky.

He's out for five or six weeks. "I don't like the way Tm starting, John" being hurt. He's a good friend," Fusina said in a telephone interview. Fusina says there's no better way to learn than by playing, as'he did when Andress was hurt early in the game. "I learned from the game.

Standing on the sidelines is one thing, you can see the mistakes, but it's not the same as playing. By playing yen learn to think, where to look, what to look for, what to do with the ball," he said. "I threw two interceptions on two bad passes and I think I'll be more careful now." After spring practice mis year. Paterno said of Fusina: "He probably has as much potential at quarterback as anyone we have had in all the years I've been Patemo has been around 26 years at Penn State. GOLF VTLAMOURA.
