-FFRIDAY. OCTOBER 7.1955
Virginia's Fullback, Linebacker
A Father's Advice
May Aid Virginia
IT NOT WILLIMIS
The words of a reassuring father who "straightened his son out"
some four years. ago and some 1000 miles
.away. in Arabia, could
have a bearing 'on tomorrow's Penn State-Virginia football game at
Richmond, Va.
4. all started' in 19 . 51 when Jim . Bakhtiar, the Cavalier's husky
fullback, left . the United Stites for an office job with his father in
Arahla in • an. Anglo-Ameriean
Oil Company. Bakhtiar, who had
become despondent with the long
road of 'readjustment' ahead of
him, left after a five-year stay
in the U.S.
"That's when my father
straightened me out," Bakhtiar
said. In 1951 he returned and en
rolled' at Western High school,
and played ball there in '5l and
'52. In '53 he enrolled at Bullis
Prep School, Washington D.C.,
where he was spotted as an out
standing defensive prospect for
college football.
From there his future at Vir
ginia University began to jell.
For Virginia's 1954 fresh squad,
he averaged 150 yards a game.
In the annual spring-practice
alumni football game this year
he picked up six yatds per car
ry against opposition including
the Philadelphia Eagle's Tom
Scott, and Bob Miller of the
Detroit Lions.
As for tomorrow, much of Vir
ginia's hopes of springing an up
set on Penn State and maintain
ing its undefeated record in Rich
mond Tobacco Festival games
rest on improving the defense.
And with Bakhtiar, a husky
fullback who weighs in at 205,
backing up a line that averages
213, Virginia should be able to
field an improved defense.
Thus far it has left opposing
runners slip through for 33 points

• Unconditionally vir,
in two games. George Washing
ton 'whitewashed Virginia, 13-0,
Saturday in a surprise win, and
Clemson rolled up a 20-7 win the
week before.
Against GW's backs, however,
the Cavaliers held the fast Col
onials to only 63 yards for a 1.3
average. In the opener Virginia's
record for rushing defense was
3.6.
What the Cavaliers can do in
line play was depicted in the
GW game Saturday. Here's how
it went: Herb Hartwell, Vir
ginia, broke away on a nice
run, but GW. guard Ray Mur
ray stole the ball and ran it to
the Cavalier's ten.
A pass interference penalty
against Virginia placed the ball
on its one-yard line. From there
it took GW three plays to go over
for the score.
Had it not been for the pen
alty. GW might never have got
ten inside the five.
With Bakhtiar 'backing up the
line, guards John Polzer, 210,
senior captain, and Jay Corson,
198; Harold Outten and Jim Ele
kes—both over 200—at tackles;
and two 200-pound ends handling
the defensive line, Virginia has
the power, weight, experience,
and depth for what should be a
powerful defense. Thus far it's
allowed 33 points; tomorrow it
may cause trouble.

Open Season
Today at Home
With one eye on the weather
and the other directed on a Frost
burg State Teachers squad which
dealt them a losing hand last
year, Penn State's freshman soc
cer team will usher in the '55 sea
son at 4 p.m. today on Beaver
Field.
From a turnout of 45 men, frosh
mentor Dave • Bischoff will go
with a surprisingly experienced
squad headed by Per Torgerson
and Mike Stollmeyer.. Torgerson;
for "whom. Bischoff has high re
gard, learned the game in his nar
tive Norway. Stollmeyer, like
Torgerson, is deadly from any
angle and represents the. Jamai
can element .on the yearling
squad.
"It's difficult to tell how the
boys , will 'work their first time
under competition,"•Bischoff said.
"However, as evidenced in prac
tice, that forward lige will have
plenty to say {bout ttib outcome."
Bischoff was referring to the for
ward wall of Bernie Walsh 'Rog
er Weigard, Dick Yatman, Tor
gerson, and . Stollmeyer.

Look for Win No. 2
'A soccer rivalry which has been dead for the last five years
will be renewed tomorrow at Beaver Field when Penn State's soccer
team meets West Chester State Teachers College. The game will
begin at 2 p.m.
The last time the two played was in 1950 and tomorrow's visi
tors took that one by narrow mar
gin of 1-0. It was the only defeat
handed to the Lion booters that
season.
The year before, 1949, the Nit
tanies had shutout West Chester,
6-0, and it was sweet revenge
the next year when the Rams de
feated the Lions. But, it didn't
stop the Lions from receiving a'
bid to the soccer .bowl to play
Purdue, a game which they won.
West Chester soccer Coach Earl
Waters has compiled•an ' unprece
dented soccer record 'in the two,
decades he's been coaching there.'
In those 20 years Waters has
not had a losing season and at
one time his team had a five-,
year winning streak, which still
stands as' a record at West Ches
ter.
Last yesir o . Water's charges
swept by eight teams, while - los
ing one and tying one.
In compiling the eight wins,
West Chester held, their oppon
ents scoreless in seven games and
I limited the remaining three
teams to seven goals.
On offense, the Ram booters
scored 37 goals with their highest
scare coming against Howard
University, 7-0, in the season's
opener.
Penn State goes to the top of
Navy Tops Lions
Navy leads Penn State, 13 to 9,
in their all-time football series.
The two teams meet again Oct_ 15
at Beaver Field.
