Penn hammered and pressed the Lions continuously as it pushed Penn State for a full 88 minutes in an attempt to gain that "big win." But Dick Matpcia's two fourth-quarter goals broke Penn's bid. Penn snapped a 1-1 halftime deadlock in the third quay ter to take the lead 2-1 until Ma tacia tied the score on a boot from three yards out in the fourth Period. In the final period Stewart Field was a quagmire of mud and the players were soaked and mud spattered as the result of a heavy rain that drenched the field dur ing the entire contest.

Matacia's tie-breaking, and ulti mately game-winning, score came with only a minute and a half left in the contest on a pass play from Captain Jack , Pinezich. Late in the fourth period Pine zich was switched from outside left to inside right replacing Mert Springer with sophomore Tom Nute taking Pinezich's position.

Penn's goalie never saw the score. The Lion victory w_a s the eleventh against the Quakers corn pared to two Penn wins and two tips posted since the first game was played in 1911. Penn has not defeated the Lions in soccer since 1918. Penn's exceptional play—which Coach Charles Scott said was his team's best showing all' season— was no surprise. Potentially, Penn had the experienced lettermen that could have paced the Quak ers to a much better record than their 5-4-1 card before the Penn State contest. Penn was "up" for the Lions. The entire team was keyed for a victory song but the Lions had other ideas and sent the Quakers reverently to their fifth loss. Although the Lions came back in the final half with two goals, the first half could have been damaging. After the first five irrlE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
