3 Boosters Named
To All-America
Three of Penn State's soccer players , who were members of the
1954 squad that piled up a string of nine straight victories, were
named on the All-American team yesterday.
Dick Packer, high scoring sophomore center forward, and seniors
Paul• Dierks and Captain Jack Pinezich were chosen by the selec
tions committee of the National
Soecer. Coaches Association,
'Linernen Packer and Pinezich
were named to the first . team
while Dierks, fullback, won hon
ors on the second team.
Packer Led Scoring .
Packer, who was elected cap
tain of the squad for the 1955
season, led the Lions in scoring
during the past season. He scored
19 goals while his teammate
Pinezich t playing at outside left,
scored nine tallies.
Packer's 19 goals were spread
throughout the season, but he
managed to net five of the Lions'
nine goals in the win against
Syracuse for his biggest point
total in one . game. Packer scored
three of the Lions' five goals
when Army bowed to Penn State,
5-1.
Pinezich, who had been mov
ing toward the national recog
nition since his , sophomore year
when he turned in a record
breaking performance, shattered
Penn State's all-time scoring
mark when he registered 23 goals
in one season.
Was Passing Star
Although the classy lineman
failed to stack up his-usual num
ber of goals this season, Pinezich
was a big cog in the Lions' pass
ing and defensive attack'. Pine
zich repeatedly turned in effec
tive passing plays to ,his team
mates and 'figured directly in at
least ten of. the Lions' 45 goals.
Dierks, who also was a four
year man in soccer along with
Pinezich; was named on the sec
ond team. Oddly enough, Dierks
was voted by his teammate - s - as
the most valuable player of the
1954 campaign.
Dierks, along with Packer and
Pinezich, was selceted on the all
district team last week. During
the past season the burly full
back was a brilliant defensive
performer for Coach Ken Hoster
man. Dierks was repeatedly prais
ed by opposing coaches and ref
erees for-his spirit and soccer de
fensive ability.

Russia Needs Sprinters
MOSCOW, Jan. 10 (?P)—T h e
Russians want to defeat the Unit
ed States in the 1956 Olympic
Games, and to achieve this they
will have to develop some first
class track sprinters.
That is one of the big Soviet
aims for 1955, according to a
scolding article in Soviet Sport,
the country's leading sports paper.
In the 1952 Olympics at Hel
sinki the best the Russians could
do in the four shortest runs was
a single fifth place. The United
States in the same events scored
thret firsts, one second, two thirds
and one fourth.
Why do Russian sprinters seem
to run with anchors in their
pants? The men, at least.
It': faulty training and coach
ing, says Soviet Sport.
To those interested in
advanced academic study
while associated with important
research and development
in industry, Hughes offers

"It is high time," says Sovi4
Sport, "to speak about what Tan
vent:, our sprinters from achiei
ing top marks in competition. .
major reason is that in 1954 trait
ing was very badly organized an
there are no plans at all for wis
