Nittany Booters Win
Lane, Coleman Pace Attack
As Lions Outclass Bucknell
The Blue and White soccer Lions blended sharp offensive ma
neuvering with a five-goal scoring barrage in their weekend en
counter with Bucknell to annex their second consecutive win of the
current season.
At the same time the 5-0 trouncing enabled the Jeffreymen to
run their unbeaten skein to nine over the past two seasons. Not
since Navy turned the tables on
the Lions last season have they
dropped an outing.
Although Joe Lane, the Balti
more flash, stole into the scoring
limelight by tallying twice, it was
a scrappy Missourian, Ron Cole
man who really deserves the
Lion’s share of the glory for the
lopsided win over the visitors.
ALERT PLAY
Coleman, a soccer veteran of
many high school campaigns, by
his alert downfield play and sharp
passing ably assisted both Lane
.?nd Ted Lieb in finding the scor
ing zone.
The tussle was just four min
utes old when Penn State scored,
with diminutive Harry Little
sending one through the net on
a penalty kick.
Although, as. it later turned
out, that one point was enough for
the margin of victory. Lieb fol
lowed through with the second
goal.
TWO APIECE
Thus by scoring, both Little
and Lieb ran their total to two
for the season. Little was runner
up in scorign last season.
After a scoreless second canto
which saw the Lions’ all-
America duet, Ralph Hosterman
' and Dick Hannah, in the midst of
' action on numerous occasions, the
Nittanies came back strong in the
period after the half.
Play concentrated mostly in
the Bucknell half of the field in
that third quarter and when one
of the Bison players committed a
foul, Hosterman sent the penalty
boot past Bucknell’s goalie Dick
Freed.
RESERVES
Coach Jeffrey, then poured all
available reserve power into the
fracas to give the boys on the
bench the much-needed experi
ence for the future.
Teaming up' with the second
stringers, Lane went on a scoring
spree in the final quarter by blitz
ing two past the Bison goalie to
easily wrap up the victory.
Hoping to make it three straight
and ten without a loss, the Lions
Double Winner
