Pre-Season Soccer
Scrimmages Begin
The rains visited the' Nittany campus yesterday,.as
but they couldn't dampen the spirits of Coach Ken Hosterman
and his soccer squad. The rain soaked golf course proved to be
a treacherous field as Hosterman conducted a full scrimmage.
A sharp eye was kept by the new mentor as he looked
for promising sophomores, up from last year's freshman squad
The ten veterans from Bill Jef- 1 * * *
frey's squad of last year, were
also under close surveillance as
Hosterman looked for promising
signs of pre-season progress in
timing and teamwork.
Sophomores Improving
SeveralsoPhomores have caught
the eye of Hosterman. Ihor Stel
nyck, Frank Shaw, Dick Packer,
and Dick Matacio, among others;
have, been showing continual im
provement. Shaw and Stelnyck,
along with Ralph Hoffman, a jun
ior, have been playing at the
halfback slots
Hosterman, who recently re
-placed Bill Jeffrey_ as soccer
coach, has not only played the
game, but he also has come from
a long line of soccer "greats."
"Woody" .Hosterman played for
State during 1934, 1935, and 1936.
A' second brother, Walt, not only
played during 1939, 1940, and
1941, but he was also Captain of
the Nittany soccer eleven. He
was picked as an All-American
during 1940, and 1941.
,Second All-American
0 n e All-American wasn't
enough for the Hosterman clan,
as brother Ralph earned his All-
American award in 1949, '5O. He
also played during 1947, and '4B,
and captained the team in his
senior year. Ken, however, had
his soccer prowess halted during
this sophomore year when he
broke his leg after playing for
the freshinan squad during his
first year at State.
Villanova Head Is
Busy Football Man
NEW YORK, Sept. 21 (. 1 1")
Probably the busiest man in col
lege football today is Ambrose F.
(Dud) Dudley, Villanova's new
director of athletics.
It was a Dudley idea that drew
97,800 spectators to the Villanova-
Georgia football game in Philadel
phia's Municipal Stadium last
Saturday night. Last year the
Philadelphia Wildcats' home at
tendance at three games averaged
less than 10,000.
"The first thing I did," Dudley
told writers, "was to sell blocks
of tickets to various large busi
ness concerns on the basis of two
tickets for the price of one. That
sold approximately 20,000 tickets.
"Then came the idea of selling
some 40,000 tickets to a super
market, which used the tickets as
a bonus to purchasers of $lO
worth of foodstuffs. In three days
we sold, not 40,000, but 60,000
tickets."
Since Saturday night he has re
ceived telephone calls, telegrams
and letters from colleges all over
the country asking for informa
tion on the supermarket-Villa
nova tieup.
