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. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

' A 20-yard pass play from Harry Mann to Joe Sepko proved the margin of victory. Forbes’ inter ception of a Susies pass stopped a drive on the Dorm 12 five yard line. Dave Belz showed well on offense for Dorm 12. Lone Non-Stater Only non-Pennsylvanian cur rently listed as a Penn State starter is quarterback Milton Plum, of Westville, N.J. Penn State Sports— ON A | THE rt 2 LINE By ROY WILLIAMS Sport* Editor 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. * * * * Eight of Army’s present gridders are on the Dean’s list, made from pure virgin Scottish wool, spun, hand-woven and finished in the Outer Hebrides ... that’s V.S. inquiriu may bo directed to Suita 801, 110 East 42nd Streat, New York 17, New York RIS TWEED tweed ijgpp with a u tradition t T \ Outer H« bride* (TW IteeM <1 Menu Tree* J- There is no other cloth quite like HARRIS TWEED.
