SATURDAY. OCTOBER 1.1955
Booters
3-1, as
Penn State’s soccer team swept to its 11th straight victory yesterday afternoon at West Point
by eking out a 3-1 win over the Army Cadets as Dick Packer scored tw.o goals, his second breaking
a 1-1 deadlock in the fourth quarter.
The game, marred by a steady rain throughout the day, was the first win for the booters this
year. The other 10 wins were notched over a two-year span extending back to 1953,
But, as one streak was extend
ed, one was broken. Yesterday’s
loss was the first time since 1949
that an Army soccer team has
been beaten on.its home grounds.
The Cadets played aggressive
ball throughout the contest, but
it was the all-round teamwork
of the Lions that spelled the dif
ference.
For the Lions it was their lead
ing scorer, Dick. Packer, who
headed the offensive brigade.
Dick Packer
Scores Twice
Packer, who scored 18 goals last
year to lead the team, scored his
second goal at the most crucial
moment in the game.
With the score tied 1-1 going
into the final quarter, the booters
began to move. A pass to Packer
about 40 yards from the goal was
all that was needed. The high
scoring ace then outraced the
Cadet fullback to score and break
the tie.
Army Takes Early Lead
Army had taken an early lead
in the second quarter after both
teams battled to a standstill in
the initial one. Bob Alsheimer,
center forward, scored the only
Army goal with seven minutes
having, elapsed.
But, threp minutes later Packer
kicked one in to knot the score
and set the stage for his tie
breaking goal in the fourth quar
ter.
The third Nittany goal was
scored by Don Shirk, with six
minutes gone by in the last quar
ter. The goal proved to be an im
portant insurance marker, for the
men of John Kress began to roll.
Tampers Flare
With the rain falling at a con
tinuous rate throughout the game,
accurate' passing was practically
impossible, causing each team to
lose the ball a number of times.
The game was hard fought and as
it drew to a close tempers flared
as each team *roughed ft up’ when
fighting over a loose ball.
Coach Ken Hosterman said
that both his fullbacks looked
good after they had shaken off
their nervousness, but, he said, it
was Ihor Stelynk and Steve Flam
poris who played terrific games
at defense.
Hosterman was - hampered on
the line when his first string in
side right player, lan Springer,
became sick , before the team left
en to the Infirmary,
to the Infirmary.
Hill Stands Out
Another player deserving of
high credit was junior Ward Hill,
who started at left halfback. Hill
played good defensively and of
fensively for a player who had
no previous varsity experience.
Hosterman said that the wet
grounds definitely held down the
ground attacks for both teams.
He said it was hard keeping sta
ble footing, which caused bad
passing and plenty of falls.
The Lions return home this
weekend and after a two day rest
will begin heavy practices for the
home opener against West Ches
ter next Saturday.

punts, highlighted intramural football action last night on the
Beaver Field practice fields.

ers squeezed past Dorm 26, 7 to
6; and the Susies beat Dorm 12,
7 to 0.
Dorm 39 Wins, 20-0
The Tigers showed a lot of cour
age, especially on the line, but

whelm the spirited nine from
Dorm 39. The ' winners scored
twice in the first half and then
added a third score in the second
half for an easy 20-0 win.
Midway through the first half,

Veater who in turn lifted the ball
to Jon Hoffman to tally. Gosnell
later scored the second touchdown
on a five-yard scamper around
end. He set up the score with a
55-yard return of a punt.
After Ken Gettle kicked-off for
the Tigers in the second half, the
ball exchanged hands four times
before Dorm 39 was again in scor
ing territory.
Gosnell threw a bullet pass to
Veater who was downed on the
Tiger’s 20. Gosnell then threw to
Jim Herr for the third tally.
Bollock Leads Crewcuts
The Crewcuts, sparked by the
passing of Tom Botlock, scored
quickly against the Screwballs,
and won 13 to 0.
The sharp passing by Botlock
connected three consecutive times
with Jim Lingle, the third ac
counting for the six-pointer. Bot
lock kicked the extra point.

further.

scoring was in the second half.
Don Rusiewicz, midway in the
second half, dropped back and
threw hard to Fred Altman. Alt

WEST POINT, N.Y.—This is the Point—home of the United
States Military Academy. And Michie Stadium has been like “home”
for the Cadets since its official opening in 1924.
Since then, Army has played 150 games in this concrete, horse
shoe-shaped stadium, has won 136, lost only 12, and tied two.
Playing in front of the "home crowd" of the Corps of Cadets
—2496 to be exact—the Black Knights hale to lose.
“The moment ya walk into Michie Stadium,” Coach Rip Engle
says, “you’re two touchdowns down before the opening whistle
blows.”
Army hales to lose, but even more so in Michie Stadium.
* * * *
BLAIK'S RECORD AT ARMY:
Won two national and six eastern championships; completed
five undefeated seasons; compiled winning streaks of 32 and 28
games; named Coach of the Year in 1946, and similarly recognized
by the Touchdown Club of Washington in 1953; record at Army
since 1941—95 wins, 25 losses, and eight ties. During his regime the
Cadets have averaged less than two defeats a year.
Capt. Pal Uebel, fullback, was the first back since Doc Blan
chard to score three TD's against Navy when he turned the trick
as a soph.
Ralph Chesnauskas, tackle, led the country in points-after
touchdown last year, converting •27 of 36. A three-letter man, he
plays baseball and is captain and defenseman of the hockey team.
When Army dropped Penn State in 1950. the Lions were
one of the four teams that scored on the Cadets, as they rolled to
an 8-1 log. Penn and NaVy each notched two TD's, while Michigan
and Engle's squad each tallied ohce. Navy inflicted the only loss,
14-2.
Longest runs recorded in Michie Stadium were by Bob Vinson
in ’47 with an intercepted- pass, and Bob Mischak on a punt return
against Dartmouth in 1951. Both were for 96 yards.
