Soccermen
May Face
Tough Card
When questioned about the
Nittany's •season soccer. card,
Coach Ken Hosterman remarked,
"This could be one of the toughest
schedules State has encountered
during the past few years."
A quick run down of the vir
tual opponents of Hosterman's
squad will certainly verify his
statement.
'The Lion's will kick the lid off
the soccer season when they
travel to Bucknell on Saturday,
Oct. 3. The Bisons are usual visi-

tors at State for the traditional
clash, but this year the scene
will change to Bucknell's home
field. State handed the Bisons a
10-1 setback last year. ,
_3 Contetts 'Away
Maryland, Army, and Colgate
will be the successive away mat
ches for the Hostermen after the
Bucknell•match. Maryland took a
11-0 trouncing last year when
they visited State. Colgate and
Army, however, proved to be
competent foes. Army and State
battled to a 1-1 score, while Col-'
gate lost 'by a slim 2-0 margin on
the Nittany's home field. The
Red Raiders of Colgate and Mary
land are on the upswing stroke
of improving their interest and
abilities in soccer competition.
Army is always tough; the
combination of these three "mat
ches being on the road, and each
team's progress could be possible
stumbling blocks for the Lions
during the early half of the nine
game chart.
Duke Bluedevils and Nor t h
Carolina Will be the first two
home matches for the soccermen
of the campaign. The Bluedevils,
who lost a 4-1 match to Jeffrey
men last year, are expected to be
possible "toughies" because of an
experienced crop of sophomores.
The Tarheels lost a 7-0 encounter
on their home course last year
as they entered their third year
of collegiate soccer competition.
State will then be on the road
for a match with Navy. The Mid
dies could very easily be the
toughest team from the• South the
Lions will meet this year.
Olympic Player
Two "big names" from the
Eastern part of the State will be
looking for some sweet revenge
when they visit State's home
field.
The Owls of Temple will be
back to avenge the 1-0 shutout
which was posted . by the Lions
last year at Temple. Jack Dunn,
inside right forward, who played
for the American Olympic soccer
team last year at Finland, will •be
back to aid his teammates. The
Quakers of Pennsylvania will also
be out gunning for Hosterman
and his team, with thoughts of
the 3-2 loss handed to them last
year at River Field.
Temple, alwayst,a strong soccer
squad in the East, was picked last
fall for the annual Soccer Bowl
held in St. Louis at Busch Sta
dium on New Year's Day. San
Francisco and State battled to a
2-2 tie in 1949 in the same cele
brated game.

Rumors Persist
Browns Switch
Across Border
NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (W)—A
major league baseball executive
predicted today that the St. Louis
Browns' franchise would be trans
ferred to either Toronto or Mon
treal within the next few weeks.
The baseball official, who asked
not to be identified, told the AsL
sociated Press he "understood"
the American League owners fav
ored the Browns' shift to either of
the two Canadian cities over Bal
timore. All three cities are cur
rently members of the Interna
tional League.
A meeting to discuss the
Brownie situation is scheduled
for Sunday in New York. A four
man committee met in Chicago
recently with American League
President Will Harridge and Bill
Veeck, president of the Browns,
and announced it had recom
mended that the Browns' fran
chise be moved out of St. Louis.
While it did not name a fu
ture home for the Browns, it gen
erally was believed Veeck was
headed for Baltimore. Veeck was
denied permission to move his
club to that city. last March. He
needed the support of five other
clubs but received only the back
ing of Cleveland and Chicago.
"It's my guess the Browns will
be in Toronto next year. I'd say
it is a 60-40 proposition right now
between Toronto and Montreal,
with the odds favoring Toronto. I
understand Veeck and Jack Cook
of Toronto have some kind of an
agreement between them."
In Washington, Clark Griffith
said "it just isn't so" that he op
posed the Browns moving to Bal
timore. On the contrary, he de-

going to Michigan for two main
reasons.
The outstanding record of Lion
track teams caught his eye, he
explained. The other reason was
coaching, which he stated, "had
to be good to produce men like
the Ashenfelter• brothers."
Hollen has come a long way
since his early days at the Col
lege. He has established himself
as one of the leading cross-coun
try runners in the nation. In the
IC4A championships last year,
Hollen finished sixth. This fact
shines even brighter when it is
noted that only one of • the filie
who managed to finish ahead of
him is still eligible this year. That
one man is Osterhout of Syra
cuse.
Competes in High School
Although the r e is plenty of
time between now and the IC4A
meet, the young redhead is al
ready vicariously' circling the
cinders against Osterhout. And
this time, he plans to win.
Cross-country is nothing new to
Hollen. He competed when he at
tended Williamsport High School.
It helps to strengthen him for
track season he says, and he even
admits that be enjoys cross-coun
try a little more than spring track
competition.
At present the fleet star is hop
ing to go to medical school. How
ever, he won't know whether he
can go until December. If he
doesn't gd to medical school he
would like to try out for the 1956
Olympic squad, even though Un
cle Sam has first priority.
Whether he winds up in the
service or in medical school, he
intends to keep right on running,,
he said. Red has set his goals
high. This is only right, for he
knows he can attain them and
with a little more help from. the
"hand" Red can reach all his
goals.
Hutchinson Rehired
DETROIT, Sept. 22 (213)—Fred
die Hutchinson, who guided the
Detroit Tigers out of the Ameri
ca'n League cellar this year,
signed a one-year contract today
to manage the club again next
season. •
Glared, "I'll vote for Baltimore re
gardless of what the' other clubs
favor."
In Chicago Veeck said report
that his club's franchise would be
shifted to Montreal or Toronto
was "news to me."
