Undefeated Fresh
Face Army Plebes
By DOM GOLAB
, Their 66th straight game with
out defeat--that's what the Nittany
Lion soccermen will be striving for
this afternoon when they meet a
highly-respected Army eleven at
West Point..
Never an underdog, the, amazing
Jeffreymen are favored to register
their fifth 'victory of the season,
although a stiff battle is expected
from the once-beaten Cadets, who
are determined to gain their first
triumph over the Lions in the sev
en-year series.
Pre-season form sheets indicated
a mediocre season for Army, but

ed the soccer world with a 3-1 vic

high-grade soccer to trounce Le

pell, 4-1. After tying Brown, 3-3,
they were upset• last week by-Har
vard, 1-0.
Although not sonskiered quite as
good as the Navy squad which the
Nittanymen outmudded in their
last appearance, Army has a rug
ged, hard-fighting team and boasts
of its center halfback, Captain
GO'ykeSon, one of the finest players
in collegiate soccer. Guykeson, who
was an All-American football play
er at Maryland' before entering
West Point, was a thorn in Penn
State's side in last year's. contest

the Lions have possibly the two
finest ball-handlers and passers in
college ranks. Also helping to set
up goals for Don Megrail, high
scoring center forward, will be

backs, Bill Prichard, Boyd Etters,
and Max Chenoweth, may also see
action.
Veterans Hap Freeman and Alan

posts, and Johnny Struck is expect
ed to play his usual bang-up game
at the goal-tending position.
