SATURDAY, DECEMBER " 11, 1949 Six Seniors Bow Out In Soccer Bowl Clash Less than two weeks of tune-up sessions remained today as the all triumphant Penn State booting steamroller prepares for its New Year's Day tussle at Sportsmans Park, St. Louis, Missouri. Just 15 days from now, Coach Bill Jef frey's team faces the University of San Francisco in the nation's first collegiate soccer bowl contest. Not only will the tussle against the Dons close out 1949 campaign ing for the Nittanies, a year whiclf saw the. Lions run their unbeaten . skein, to 14, but it will also be the last time six booters will wear the Blue and White. About those six, who'll play their valedictory contest for the Lions, Bagpipe Bill comments, "They are a great group of boys who have cooperated with me all the way. They'll be sorely missed next season." • These are the seniors who'll bow out of the collegiate soccer picture on New Years Day: CAPTAIN RALPH HOSTER MAN Without a doubt one of the finest all-time halfbacks to don a Penn State uniform. He scored three' goals from his posi tion in the last two seasons, a very surprising feat for a halfback. For his superb play last year, Ralph was named to the soccer All- Amerioa team. DICK HANNAH A streak of lightning from Philadelphia, he is playing his best ball of, his career this season. He has burned up soccer fields since his high school days. When All-America honors were handed out last year, Han nah was not overlooked. A NROTC student, Dick might be Cagers Break Jinx on Road, Upset American U. Away, 57-49 The long fast is over.

While outscrambling the defenders on the' boards, McMa hon and Schisler also aided .Costa" with an offensive punch' *hich netted 13 and 12 points apiece. Captain Bob Lamon, • American U. ace, also pocketed 17 points but he didn't receive, enough. aid from his teammates to .cause the invaders much trouble.: SWITCH DEFENSE• The Feathered Flock broke from its customary zone defense to a man-to-man but if this ma neuver was meant to confuse the Pennsylvania collegians it' failed to accomplish its purpose. • Penn State pulled out to a 7-0 first period• lead via tap-ins by McMahon, Costa, Lou Lamie and a foul by McMahon.

WILL KEtAYBILL One of the hardest workers on the Lion unit, Willie rounds out the start ing halfback trio, "one of the best in the game today," according to Jeffrey. This is his fourth year with the Nittanies, he played as a freshman in 1945. TED LIEB A soccer letter winner ever since he stepped into a Penn State uniform three seasons ago, Ted has been one of the finest flankmen in recent years. Always a leader in the scoring parade, Ted scored seven goals during the last two cam paigns. CHUCK MARGOLF Pound for pound, Chuck is one of the best defensive players in the East. A three-time varsity 'S' winner, Chuck is well noted for his • alert aggressive type of play in front of the Lion goal. HARRY LAWROSKI One of the fastest men on the squad, and maybe one of the smallest, Harry more than makes up for his size with his sharp passing and tricky maneuvering. He stole into the limelight against Navy this year when he scored two of the Lion's goals. Jeffrey plans to take 15 players to St. Louis for. the San Francisco encounter. Besides his starting eleven, which includes, George Lawther, Margolf, Bill Yerkes, Hannah, Hoster man, Kraybill, Lieb, Harry Little, Joe Lane ? Ron Coleman and Clarence Buss, the Nittany coach plans to take Ron Coder, Jack Kurty, George Emig and Lawroski, along for relief :duty.
