Last Week In Soccer Sports At C.C. Table Tenn
Coach's Summary By Prof. Ed Trunk
In the beginning, the talent
appeared unbeatable. Capitol's
initial lineup rolled over York
6:3 on their field. The fiery
punch of veteran John Harris
dominated the offense with
three of the six goals. So why
did Capitol drop the next two -
9:4 to F & M and 2:4 to
Schuylkill?
The F & M game (believe it
or not) was dominated by the
superior Capitol back and mid
field playmakers. But the
game was lost in front of the
goal. Unfortunately, John
Harris was out of town. Mike
Burkholder, ace playmaker
from last year, joined the
forward line. However, a
consistent goal scorer, had not
yet emerged at this point. Most
of the forwards have scored at
least one goal. That's not
enough to win games. Last
year, Dennis Doerr averaged
between 2 and 3 goals per
game! So the F & M game
ended in frustration. Of the
twenty plus chances we had,
most went right into the
goalie's hands (who in
cidentally played an excellent
game). The remaining were
blocked or misses - a blank out.
The Schuylkill game saw
John Harris return and again
Capitol's superior team work
dominated the game.
However, one must understand
that Schuylkill plays a kick and
rush type of game void of all
finesse. They have few skilled
players and make up for this
physically. Without alert
referees (ours were blind to
fouls) this type of play costs
the better team in the form of
injuries. Al though John
Grabowski scored Capitol's
first goal - time favored
Schuylkill. At half-time it was
3:1 in their favor. The game
was started with the reserve
lineup. The main string were
slipped in towards the end of
the half - a coach's strategic
move in this type of game. The
Schuylkill initiative was halted
for the rest of the game. They
scored no more. Early in the
second half Mike Burkholder
scored a beauty originating
from a corner kick by Bill
Turner. Then it happened!
John Harris had to be carried
from the field with a twisted
ankle. The rough play took its

toll. Next, Mike Burkholder
was kicked in the leg from
behind. He limped off the field
and joined John in an ice pack
session. The final blow, Ken
Albert (Co-Captain and one of
our toughest players) had to
stop playing - his leg was sore
from rough play. Schuylkill
was gifted one last goal when
Tom Plank cleared a ball from
the goal mouth and drove it
into Greg Weigle rebounding
into the goal. An unfortunate
mishap. Reserve depth
sustained the Capitol drive but
the scoring ability was absent
and the game ended 4:2.
A coach's dilemma. The
team needs a win! Superior
back and mid-field talent, but
missing a goal getter ... none
visible.... so create one. Who to
choose....pick one with a strong
foot requiring little setting up,
and one who can keep the ball
low. The North East Christian
game is the story of how
Capitol's soccer team found
itself the 1974-75 version of
Dennis Doerr.... Tom Plank!
Tom scored four goals. The
team was lifted 10 feet and
the fans went hoarse rooting
the team to victory on a
drizzling Tuesday night. Both
Tom and the team were
carefully coached on how it
could be done. The game
proved they could do it, with a
final score of 6:2. The only sour
note - Randy Hess ( Co-
Captain) took a bad fall
bruising his hip sufficiently to
sideline him for 10 days.
Despite the injuries, the
team looks forward with
confidence. This week's
Tuesday night game against
York Campus should be a
winner. Mike Burkholder will
be returning to the line-up by
then. The big test lies in next
Tuesday's contest with a top
school, Spring Garden College
(Philadelphia) at 7 P.M. on the
Athletic Field. Randy will be
O.K. again. John Harris has an
outside chance of recovering
by then. Next, on Thursday at
7:30 P.M. Capitol will host
Lancaster Bible College. Both
games are top-billed, and if
any of you are curious as to
how the team found the right
combination, drop by and look
in on us.
C. C. READER
Mention Penn State sports
and visions arise of the Nittany
Lion, Beaver Stadium in the
fall, Joe Paterno, the Orange
Bowl and the best college
football team in the East in the
past decade.
Yet to a student at Penn
State-Capitol Campus, sports
is more than a national ranking
and an image on Saturday
afternoon TV. To the 2300
students here at Penn State-
Capitol Campus, sports is a
well organized recreation
athletic program. The
program provides the op
portunity to maintain better
health through exercise, to
learn the important values
developed through team spirit
and - cooperation, to relax, and
enjoy the fun of participating
in sports.
Penn State-Capitol Campus
provides intercollegiate sports
in golf, tennis, baseball,
basketball, soccer, cross
country and wrestling. We play
Millersville College, Lebanon
Valley College, Susquehanna
University, Ogontz Campus,
and many others. The
University offers an even
wider program of intramural
sports including volleyball,
skiing, hiking, softball, fen
cing, handball, bowling,
basketball and tennis.
Reuben Smitley from
Harrisburg coordinates the
athletic-recreation program at
Penn State-Capitol Campus.
He pointed out that the
program received a recent
boost when the University
Board of Trustees approved
the construction of a
multipurpose building which
will include various sports
facilities.
Although the general im
pression of sports at Penn
State is that of a high powered
University, the reality at a
satelite campus such as
Capitol is a broad program
geared to the development of
skills which may be enjoyed
throughout one's lifetime.
