SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 24.1955
Booters Scrimmage
AF; Matacia Back
Penn State’s soccer team, bolstered by the return of Dick Ma
tacia and Army veteran Don Shirk, will scrimmage the Sampson
Air Force Base at 12:30 p.m. today on the soccer field next to the
Beaver Field football stands.
The military hooters are venturing into the Nittany Valley for
the second straight year. In last year’s contest, which was held
midway in the season, the Lions routed their foe, 18-2
Lion coach Ken Hosterman,
who has one line spot worry; dis
solved with of Matacia,
will start seven veteran's—four
on the line, two in the backfield,
and one at goalie. The remaining
four positions will be manned by
players with virtually no exper
ience,
bn the line Hosterman will
start Tom Nute* who was prob
ably the most valuable substitute
the Lions’ had last year, at out
side left. Matacia will man the in
side left position.
Matacia Will Help
Matacia’s return will definitely
help the booters. Last year his
offensive and defensive playing
sparked the Lions in many tough
situations.
At the center forward spot will
be last year’s high scorer, Dick
Packer. Packer scored 18 goals
last year in addition to coming
through with seven assists, which
strengthened his team value.
At inside right will be veteran
Mert Springer. Springer scored
only two goals last year but his
booting finesse and passing abil
ity make him a consistant and
dangerous threat..
The only newcomer to.the line
will start at outside right. He is
sophomore Jim Hedberg, who im
pressed Hosterman in practice
with his team spirit and - his
ability to move the ball well.
- At the halfback spots, Hoster
man is at his strongest. Army vet
Shirk will be at the left halfback
spot with Ihor Stelynk, another
old reliable on the team, at the
center halfback post.
At right halfback will be Steve
Flamporis, who was one of the
top defensive men the booters
had in ’54. He looked especially
good on his doymfield offensive
play and also on his sharp head
shots.
Fullbacks Are 'Green'
At the fullback spots is where
Hosterman has his worries. His
two top men« Paul Dierks and
Galen Bobbins, were lost through
graduation. And this year he
must depend on a sophomore,
junior, and senior. Slated to start
are either senior Bob Little or
Dave Davis at the left fullback
position with sophomore Ralph
Brower at the other position.
At goalie, George, Geczy will
get the nod. He was first string
goalie for lgst year’s unbeaten
team and showed ability in snag
ning' attempted enemy-shots. -
The booters open' the regular
season with Army at West Point
Friday and then open their home
season with West Chester Oct. 8.
Champ to Box
In June Bout
NEW YORK (&) —Heavyweight
champion Rocky Marciano will be
back in action next June. The pos
sible victims include Cuba’s Nino
Valdes, hulking' Bob Baker of
Pittsburgh, Hurricane .Tommy
Jackson of New York ->r Floyd
Patterson, the once-beaten Olym
pic champion of Brooklyn.
The invincible Brockton Blas
ter, having earned half a million
dollars for his ninth-round knock
out of Archie Moore in a spectac
ular brawl Wednesday night, has
decided to go after a few more
helpings.
It may not be as much as he
earned with the colorful, cocky
light heavyweight boss, but. it fig
ures to be plenty the way theater
television is advancing by leaps
and bounds.
Moore, who was knocked down
four times and had his right eye
shut, said he wants another crack
at the rock-ribbed, steel-jawed
Marciano but it is doubtful if the
return will be made. Too many
people remember what happened
to Ezzard Charles in his second
fight with Rocky after their
thrilling first bout.
The 20-year-old Patterson does
not seem a likely choice soon
either. Now the No. 1 contender
for Archie’s 175-pound crown, the
fast-punching youngster is being
groomed as a heavyweight threat
for 1957.

Out On a Limb
With the first big weekend of 1955 collegiate football sweeping
the nation, the time is ripe for the Daily Collegian sports staff and
the Nittany Lion grid coaching staff to match wits in the Collegian’s
annual pigskin forecast.
Line coach “Tor” Toretti, selected to represent the Rec Hall
master-minds today, probably took the longest stroll out on the
proverbial limb when he went against the Collegian staff to pick
Maryland over UCLA—the Associated Press’ top team
Roy Williams, chief man on the Collegian sports desk, leads
the scribes into today’s poll, followed by Assistant Sports Ed:lor
Ron Gatehouse and staff writer Fran Fanucci.
