Meet Owls
Tomorrow
When the Nittany soccer
team lines up against the pow
erful Temple, Owls, defending
NCAA soccer titlists tomor
row in Philadelphia, it will
have a man-sized task in rop
ing the calves of one Jack
Dunn.
Dunn, who is leading the Owl
booters in the delicate matter of
scoring with 13 goals in six games,
heads soccer Coach Pete Leaness'
hooter attack.
The Temple offense received a
shot in the arm this week when
it was announced that Al "Lefty"
Diedriksen, a leading goalmaster
for' the Owls who suffered a shoul
der separation earlier in the sea
son, would be available for the
Penn State contest.
Cup to Be Given
The Temple-Lion clash, which
could determine who will repre
sent the East in the annual Soc
cer Bowl classic, will also feature
another sort of "bowl."
The student governments of
both Penn State and Temple have
purchased a cup which will be
placed in competition tomorrow.
This trophy will bd held tempor
arily by the winning school each
year.
Aside from Dunn and Diedrik
sen, the Owls boast a bit of added
wisdom in the person of sopho
more Len Oliver, 1951 All-Ameri
ca booter. "And the wisdom is
definitely t h.e r e ," according to
Coach Leaness, for the 6-foot LA
major's f ie l d generalship from
his center halfback, slot is sensa
tional.
Snappy Workouts
The Owl booters 'suffered a jolt
this season when Army's • rough
riders ended a 20-game win,skein
that stretched over three years
by surprising them, 4-2. Temple,
however. promptly rebounded
from the setback the following
week and trounced a winless Rut
gers eleven, 7-1, with Dunn scor
ing three goals.
Lion soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey
is sending his charges through
their usual snappy workouts in
preparation for the Owl contest,
scheduled to ge t underway at
10:30 a.m.
Jeffrey summed up the game
in a few words which expressed
the sentiments .of the team: "This
is the big one—the one we espe
cially want to get."
The Lion booters are physically
in excellent shape with the possi
ble exception. of Hub i e Kline,
whose injured knee is still a little
Weak. Jack Pinezich, leading Lion
scorer, is no longer bothered with
his bad knee.

The Lion's Eye
By JAKE HIGHTON
Collegian Sports Editor
Far from the madding iootball crowds, Penn State's soccer and
cross country teams' have been keeping the "noiseless tenor of their
way." And although by the very nature of their sports they have
remained noiseless and crowdfess, both teams have been performing
in a manner worthy of great noise and large crowds. In fact, as
the hooters and harriers go into this next to the last weekend of the
season, both have excellent chances to bring back a championship.
Amid all the football bowl rumors flying between the Nittany
Valley and the Southlands during the oast two weeks, no one
has noticed that the Lion soccer team is hounding the door of the
New Year's Day; soccer bowl committee. All State has to do
is demonstrate that it has more brains in its feet 'than Temple
tomorrow in Philly, and the Lions may find themselves back
where they were in 1950—the soccer bowl.
Barring the Nittany Pilgrims' Progress to the bowl are two mon
sters: Temple, last year's national champions, and Nittany incon
sistency. Take the worst first, inconsistency. State has been either
very. very good, or very bad. Most of the time they have been very
good as evidenced by the early season rout scores and by last week
end's victorious march through the South.
However, twice State failed to win games which "on paper"
they should have won. The 1-1 deadlock with Army wasn't too bad
a day for the booters since 'the Cadets hold the, lone victory over
Temple this season But State's sole• loss. 34,' to Navy, was down
right mortifying. It became more so last week when a virtual non
entity in the talented toe sport, Lehigh. tripped the Middies, 2-0.
Temple, the second monster in the way to the bowl, is con
sistently good. Its 4-2 lois to .Army this year was its only defeat
in the last two years to any team other than Penn State. However,
the Templars haVen't beaten State since 1947. Even as national
champs last Year, the Owls could only get off with a 1-1 tie against
State.
With the soccer picture muddled—Temple has lost once, State
once, Penn once, and Army is against post-:season play—the outcome
of tomorrow's clash could tipoff the soccer bowl team. Should State
win, they will still have to get past Penn the following week. But
that's easier than Temple who must go down in the bookies' books
as "the one best."
Chick Werner's harriers, too, are up against a "one best"—Syra
cuse—Monday` in the IC4A's. Although Penn State has twice con
secutively won the annual romp over the tough hills and plains
of New York's Van Cortlandt Park, unbeaten Syracuse has the
best seasonal record. The Orange runners have tromped the field,
including Army. State also licked Army but suffered its lone defeat
to Michigan State. You can almost discount the Spartan victory
over! the Lions since it was on MSC's own flat, four-mile course.
VCP is. five miles—and hilly. Arniy would seem to be eliminated
on the basis of dual meet setbacks to State and Syracuse. Thus,
its the Orange or State, unmatched during the dual campaign, who
should stand alone near the finiSh.
Individually. Syracuse's Ray Osterhout looks like the best now
that Arm' 's indestructable Pony Eicpress, Dick Shea, has released
his three-year monopoly on the event. The fiercely competitiye Os
terhout—if pushed by standouts 'like State's Lamont Smith and Red
Hollen, Michigan State's Jim Kepford, and Georgetown's George
Cappozzoli—could conceivably approach Shea's mark of 24:55.1 set
last year. In taking second last year. Osterhout did 25:27, but already
this year he has run 25:25: It Will take an outstanding day by anyone
to heat him.
However, Shea alone wasn't able to beat State last year—the
Lions won 67-68—and it isn't belieVed that Osterhout can either.
In Smith.. Hollen, Jim Hamill. and Jack Horner, the Lions have
fOur men who' should
But
.before Syracuse's fifth man. Nittany
depth stops there. But if either John • Chillrud, Stan Lindner or
Jim Cressman can get under the wire before the Orange fifth man—
again believed they can—the Lions should win. Syracuse may be
favored, but stick with the champion Lions until they are licked.
They are an excellent risk.
The manager of College Sportswear says:
"John, this particular shirt is a very popular
style with Penn State. men . . .
"It's a spread-collar, French-cuff model, made
by Essley . .. and you know Essley was the origi
nator of the trubinized collar. This means simply,
that it keeps its original shape, and 'requires no
collar starching, thus . . . cutting down cosly
thread-breakage . . . which costs you money."
