Booters Win Scrimmage Test
Penn State’s soccer team displayed the offensive power that made it national champions last
year when it swept past Sampson Air Force Base, 9-1. Center forward Dick Packer exploded for
all nine Lion goals in Saturday’s practice game at Beaver Field.
The military hooters, who edged out Army, 2-1, in a scrimmage game last week, tvere com
pletely outclassed by the Nittanies. The Lions held Sampson scoreless until the final quarter when
an attempted shot deflected off
the leg of fullback Bob Little and
went into the goal.
Coach Ken Hosterman express
ed complete satisfaction over the
victory. “It was a great team vic
tory and I was quite pleased over
the outcome,” he said
Hosterman said that the team
as a whole was outstanding,
with Ihor Stelnyk and Steve
Flamporis playing a great all
around game. His biggest worry
—the fullback positions—seem
ed to be dissolved as both Dave
Davis and Ralph Brauer played
impressively.
“The only mistake the boys
made all day was their inability
to move the ball enough,” he said.
Hosterman also said that he will
stress this chief nuisance during
practice sessions this week.
But, probably the most talked
about player was Packer. The
high scoring ace, who led the
team with 18 goals last year,
tallied four times in each of the
first’two quarters and ended with
one in the fourth.
His talented toe was almost
flawless as he scored from all
angles of the field with amas

The Niftany Lion Roars
The Daily Collegian sports
staff unanimously selected co
captain Frank Reidh as the Penn
State “Lineman of the Week” on
the basis of his brilliant play in
Saturday’s tussle with Boston
University.
The Steelton senior proved to
be the bulwark of the Nittany
Lion defense as he repeatedly
brought Terrier backs to the
ground with hard-hitting tackles.
Reich also stopped a Terrier
threat with a 78-yard return of
a pass interception in the third
quarter.

because everyone contributed his
best.
“Although Packer did score
nine times it wouldn’t have been
possible without the help and the
accurate passing his teammates
were giving him,” he said.
He said that the defense was
opened up and scoring plays were
formulated only because the boys
were moving and passing with
great speed.
"To crack your opponent's de
fense, both speed and the
ability to pass at the opportune
time is needed and that's what
the team employed Saturday,"
he said.
Hosterman said that he substi
tuted freely in the second half
and this probably was the reason
for the lack of scoring.
The Lions open the season Fri
day against the Army Cadets at
West Point. They will leave at

Scribes Topped
In Grid Poll
The Lion coaching staff, last

test last fall, did an about face
Saturday.
Represented by “Tor” Toretti,
one of Rip Engle’s line assistants,
the coaches topped the trio of
Collegian sports writers by. call
ing Saturday afternoon’s contests
at a 13-2 clip.
Roy Williams, sports editor and
last year’s coin-flipping champ,
took second honors over the
weekend when he called 11 games
correctly. Assistant scribe, Ron
Gatehouse, chose correctly on 10
games against five miscues. Staff
writer Fran Fanucci, in the cellar
after first week action, made nine
correct picks and six negative
choices.
Toretti, who went against the
three scribes to take Maryland
over UCLA, called the day’s big
gest upset.
The swamies enter the contest’s
second week Saturday, and carry
with them the following percent
ages for the first week: coaches,
.866; Williams, .733; Gatehouse,
.666; and Fanucci, .600.
The Cadets, coached by John
Kress, will be out to avenge last
year’s 5-1 loss. On their home
grounds they are considered one
of the toughest teams in the na
tion, so the Lion booters will
probably be in for one of their
rougher games Friday.
Hosterman said that if his play
ers would break the psychologi
cal block that goes along with

them as another team, they would
probably come out victorious.

Penn State Sports—
ON
the
LINE
As we left the press box Saturday after seeing Penn State
humble Boston U. 3s-0, we thought: “Has Engle come up with
another one?”
What prompted us to mull over the . question was the help
that the Lions got from a third string halfback that waltzed into
the fullback slot only to keep
BU tacklers funning in circles.
In 1953. Engle came up with
Lenny Moore who has now
vaulted into Penn State's bid
for candidate All-America.
Last fall Engle came up with
another standout in Billy Kane.
In addition to being a solid run
ner in his own right while run
ning with Moore, Kane developed
—as he again proved Saturday—
that he was a favorite target for
Penn State’s pass plays;.
And this year—could it be that
Joe Sabol is Engle’s new find? On
Saturday the 180-pound sopho
more from Shamokin surprised
20,000 fans by scoring twice and
earning a rushing average with
52 yards in five tries.
including an 18-yard pass
which ha snagged in the third
quarter that proved instrumen

TD, his 10.4 yards per carry was
tops for the Lions four other
backs.
As we left Beaver Field -Satur
day we heard one fan comment:
“Sabol sure outshone Moore to
day, didn’t he?”
Sabol came out of nowhere and
looked like a sophomore All-
American as -he gave the Lions
another threat in the backfield.
But as far as outshining
Moore? Wall, wa can't buy that
one.
With Moore just standing in the
backfield, he’s a threat. Sabol did
a good job and Engle knows it,
the fans know it, and the opposi
tion certainly knows it.

His rushing average was tops,
but by sending Moore to the de

second half, Sabol was able to
walk through the line. Moore,, al
so suffered heavily from penalties

but he didn’t outshine Moore.
Four of Engle’s promising
sophomore crop did not dress for
Saturday’s contest. The four—
fullback Emil Caprara, center
Ben Malesky, left half Ron Mar

merly—were all out with injuries.
Yesterday, Engle said that he
hoped each would be ready as
soon as possible. “They’re' good
boys and we need them,” Engle
said. With Engle losing lettermen
at each of these positions this
year, the lack of experience to
these four sophomores could be
the beginning of headaches that
