PAGE SIX 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 Rec/Ath Information MARTIAL ARTS Martial Arts classes began Monday, October 14.

On Thursday, October 31 - Lancaster Bible College at Capitol - 7:30 p.m. CROSS COUNTRY: Saturday - Nov. 16 - 12:00 noon - the team will travel to Annville for a meet with Lebanon Valley College.

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. .f.: ATTENTION VETERANS In Order To Facilitate A More f: Efficient System Of Handling Veterans Problems The ~.• VETERANS INFORMATION r: t - : CENTER and the v: r• . 4',.
