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. After' 11 straight losses on the road accru
ing over a three-year span. Penn State's happy boopmen snapped
back Thursday•night fto "bombard a favored American U. quintet,
57-49, before only a handful of spbctators in Uline Arena, Washing
ton, D.C.
The, win gave the Lions their second win against a single loss.
In three . games thus far the
Lions have produced 194 tallies,
averaging .64 per contest. After
subduing a weak Susquehanna
outfit, .74-44; in their first 'en
gagement, the Lions were' jolted
by Georgetown, 70-63, Wednes
day but came back strongly the
following night with- the 57-49
win over the Eagles. "
THREE, COMBINE
It took a. combination 'Of - the
accurate left-handed hook" .shots
of. Marty Costa and the back
board guardianship .of Jay Mc-.
Mahon and'Lee•schislerlo upset
the oddsmakers 'prophesies: The
giant 6-foot, 6-inch forward came
through with twenty points
against Georgetown and return
ed to post 17• against , the Eagles.
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. After, that
the Washington lads never did
catch up. Lamon finally connect
ed 'with a set shot to open A.U.'s
r • scoring.
A. U. CLOSES
• American did 'manage to creep
,up to an 11-9 deficit shortly be
fore in t erthis s.i on but Costa
:• dropped two left-handed hook
shots and McMahon laid up three
field goals to give State a 22-18
edge at half-time.
After two minutes of the third
• period, Schisler caught fire' and
hit with four consecutive one
: handers from the left side to pad
the Blue and White lead. From
there they took a 39-26 lead with
13. tlainutes,_left to .1a .
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, , PENNSYLVANIA
bacic in the Nittany Valley next
year.
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
