Ten Veterans Bolster
1953 Soccer Hopes
By ROY WILLIAMS
Ten veterans of State's soccer
team will be viewing some new
faces during the next week, when
upperclass candidates make their
bid for a position on the Nittany's
11 man squad. Anothei new
face will be seen as the newly
appointed coach—Ken Hosterman
—takes the reins for the coming
season.
The recent appointment of Hos
terman as State's soccer mentor
revolves around the withdrawal
of Bill Jeffrey during the summer.
Jeffrey, who is ' 61; recently ac
cepted a teaching-coaching posi
tion •at the University of Puerto
Rico. The retirement plan at the
College would have required the
resignation .of Jeffrey at the age
of 65. Jeffrey, however, *was very
determined on coaching after his
retirement age—either at State or
some other college. • •
Hosterman is not completely
"green," however, when it comes
to the soccer •game. During his
freshman and sophomore years,
1946-47, he played the center-for-
Ward slot. A broken leg during
the early .part of his sophomore
season ended his career practical
ly before it had started. After a
year at a Harrisburg position, he
returned to State as an instructor
in the School of 'Physical Edu
cation.
Men returning from last year's
team which lost only to Navy are
Lynn Thomann, Bill Norcik, Jack
Pinezich, Red Harris, Paul Dierks,
Huber Kline, Don Shirk, Joe Mi
jares, Ralph Hofman, and Hap
Irvin.
When asked about' the possi
bilities of this year's sophomore
candidates, Hosterman remarked,
"I was not connected with soccer
last year, and didn't get a look
at . the freshmen during their
matches."
Three key positions are def
initely going to be headaches for
Hosterman as he has lost the serv
ices of Captain Kurt Klaus, Ellis
Kocher, and Frank Foll m er—
all from the halfback line. Pine

Men Wanted: Managers
Long Hours, No Pay
With the 1953 grid season just around the corner, Penn State
students are beginning .to feel that "football atmosphere" in the air.
In the excitement of the coming campaign, however, nobody will
notice the fellow working down on the players' bench. He might
be called "the little man who wasn't there." As far as the fans are
concerned, he doesn't even exist. But to the coach and his athletes
he is a jack-of-all-trades.
From September to June, Penn
State students have an opportun
ity to watch 12 varsity teams per
form. Working with each team are
at least four managers.
When glory and praises are
given out, the manager is- a for
gotten man; but when there is
work to be done, he is always on
hand to take care of it. Before the
teams report for initial practices,
managers are hard at work, get
ting equipment and playing facili
ties in shape. Throughout, the en
tire season they are constantly on
the move, supplying items for
players, lugging equipment, and
running errands. Their job is end
less.
The manager, however, is re
warded for his efforts. Athletic
awards are given to the head man
ager and associate manager of
each sport in the form of a sweater
and Penn State "S." But the man-

ward position will be a great help
in getting the front line off to a
rolling start. Jack set a record of
scoring 23 markers during one
season, as the Lions rolled up
an impressive record of seven
wins, one tie, and one loss.
"Army, Temple, and Navy, the
traditionally rough contenders in
our schedule, will be three match
es to test our teamwork," Hoster
man said. He said Duke might
be coming up—as a lot of other
schools have during the past years
—with a good squad, because they
had a young assortment of players
last year.
"Soccer has become a pre
dominant sport in many colleges
just since the years prior to World
War II," Hosterman said.
"Stepping into the shoes left
by Bill will be a big job," Hoster
man said, "but we still have
some of the boys he coached. Bill
was a great disciple of the game.
No matter who asked for playing
advice, a member from his own
team or an opponent, he was al
ways willing to lend a, hand."

claims the friendship of the ath
letes with whom he works and
has the opportunity to learn the
fine points of the game with which
he is connected.
Sophomore men are eligible for
the post of second assistant man
ager for fall, winter, and spring
!ports. At the conclusion of each
season three first assistant mana
gers are chosen to serve during
the following season. One head
manager is chosen from three first
assistants and serves in that capa
city the following season. The two
remaining assistants, although in
active, serve as associate mana
gers.
The manager might be the for
gotten man in sports, but he is
far from being the least important.
A look behind the scenes this fall
will reveal another man playing
the game—the manager.
