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.

Local fans will have their first opportunity to see Penn
State's wrestling squad in action Tuesday when the Lions
host Maryland University at Rec. 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.
If Speidel does not use either
Pasko or McNeal at the 167-pound

weight, he may shuffle his entire
Speidel, who is always cautious
in putting the final touches on his
starting lineup, said yesterday
that he may move Fornicola into
the 137-pound class. 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.
