Unbeaten Lions Selected As Nation's Best Team Penn State's 1954 unbeaten and untied soccer team was named the national collegiate champion last night by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association at its annual meet ing in New York City. The association, official spokesman of collegiate soccer, named the Lions, who finished the past campaign with a 9-0 record, ahead of several other unbeaten and untied schools, including Dartmouth (8-0), Ober lin of Ohio (8-0), and Brockway, N.Y. State teachers, (9-0). The association opened its three day meetings last night and will make the official announcement at its all-American luncheon to day Where two Penn State play ers—Dick Packer and Jack Pine zich—will be honored as members of the official all-America team, selcted by the National Soccer Coaches Association. Credits "Teamwork" Penn State coach, Ken Hoster man, who was at the helm for his second year during the 1954 cam paign, gave credit for the honor to "team play." "It's a great honor for the boys and they certainly are deserving of it," he said last night. "It was team play, that made us as good as we were last season. The kids played as a team, practiced as a team, and worked as a team. "They made themselves national champions," he added. The Lion coach is also attending the New York meeting. Athletic Director Ernest B. Mc- Coy said he was overwhelmed by the news of the selection. "It is a wonderful honor for the boys and the institution. These, things don't come too often. I'm treniendously happy," he said. Second Champ It was the second time in Penn State history that the • team was given the award. The Lion team of 1949 was named national cham pion following its unbeaten sea son under former coach Bill' Jef fery. In sweeping to nine victories this year, the Nittany booters de feated some of the nation's top soccer powers. Penn State victims in 1954' were Bucknell, Maryland, Syracuse, Colgate, Army, Navy, Temple, University of Pennsyl vania, and Sampson Air Force Base. The 18-2 rout of Sampson early in the campaign broke the Penn State one-game scoring record and helped establish a new record for total points scored over the season. Hosterman, youngest member of the Penn State coaching corps, took over the head coaching job two years ago when Jeffery left Pen State to teach in Puerto Rico. His 1953 team won five and lost two.

Hall. Penn State will be seeking its second consecutive win of the season, holding its lone victory over Cornell, 17-10. Maryland, in a similar, but more extensive move than Penn State, is in the process of rebuilding. The Terps have been the winners of two consecutive conference champion- ships. But Coach William (Sully) Krouse—like Speidel—is rebuild ing with sophomores. Two of those sophomores bear the famil iar trade mark to Maryland teams —they're from Pennsylvania. Carl Longenecker, Manheim, and Dean Gladfelter, West York High, will be two central Pennsylvania grapplers on whom Krouse will probably be depending heavily. Krouse has several other soph omores on his squad, but - feels that Longenecker and Gladfelter have showed the most promise. Both were undefeated as frosh matmen for the Terps, but each netted one tie. Lion Coach Charlie Speidel is also having his troubles in getting his lineup juggled for the Terp match Tuesday. Speidel has lost Bob Snyder at 167 pounds because of an injury suffered against Cor nell. Speidel, however, has a choice of which way he may arrange his lineup for the Terp match. At 167 pounds the Lions main re serve is Ed Pasko, a junior with no varsity experience. Bill Shaw ley, 157 pounder, has defeated Len McNeal, Windber senior, in intersquad competition. McNeal may move up to the 167-pound class to challenge Pas ko for the right to win the first team match against Maryland.

Such a move by the Lion mentor would shove sophomores John Pepe (137) and Dave Adams (147) into the next weight classes with Shawley handling the 167-pound work. The remaining part of Speidel's lineup at 123, 130, 177, and heavy weight will probably remain the same as that which faced Cornell. i dle
