EXPLANATION Seems Jim O'Hora, Lion as sistant football coach, picked the Navy-Pitt game a tie. Why? O'Hora's crystal-balling claims: Navy through the air; Pitt on the ground. Depends on who gets the "moistest" where—(The coach es are winning the darn thing too!) FEAST or FAMINE: At the start of the season, En gle had three fullbacks; for the opener he had to rely on two newcomers; for Army he had three for depth; now he has five with -One of the originals moving out to the left half slot. THE EYES OF-ARMY? For the Duke-Navy game, Ar my has asked for tickets for NINE scouts; five press-box stubs are asked for the Pitt-Navy tangle. Army. should be able to beat the Middies with a team of scouts at this rate and have a bench to boot! But this is no record for the Cadet spy system. In 1951, after Navy won the• '5O tilt, 14-2, in a stunning upset, there were 10 At.= my scouts watching Navy and Columbia at Annapolis. 'Best' Back Penn State football coach Charles A.

Lion Harriers Host Cornell Today The Lion cross-country team makes its first home stand of the season this afternoon at 1 p.m. on the University golf course. The Cornell harriers, winners over the Nittanies last year, came to University Park with an experienced-ladened squad that is forecasted to give Chick Werner's run ners their second stiff test of the still young season. • The Lion frosh face the Cornell yearlings at 12:30 on the golf course in their first meet of the year The Big Red, whose "54" vic tory was its first over the Nit tanies in 21 years, have nine ex periendied runners from last year's squad ready to battle the Lions. A host of sophomores from last year's IC-4A freshman champion ship squad add to an already powerful Cornell team, Doug Moorehead, harrier cap tain, is ready to lead the Lion team in its bid to avenge last year's defeat. Moorehead finished second in last week's losing ef fort at Annapolis. Following Moorehead in the Nittany lineup is junior Don Woodrow, fourth place finisher in the Navy meet. Woodrow, who has improved steadily but has not as yet reached his peak, fin ished eighth in last . year's meet with Cornell. Paul Roberts, sixteenth place finisher in the Navy tilt, backs up the aforementioned duo for the Liessi. Wanes expects Bob- $1 FRAM' rAxucci Freshman Soccerrnen Win. First Eir JOHN LAWRENCE Revenge is sweet! And to Penn State's freshman booters it never tasted sweeter as coach Dave Bischoff's charges scored three times in the second period rester-, day—and then hung on to regis ter a 3-2 win over Frostburg State .Teachers College in the season's opener. The yearlings gained a measure of revenge , for the same 3-2 loss inflicted on them last season the Teachers. However, placed on their home grounds, the f rash demonstrated unusual game ex perience, combined with: the all around play of Mike Stollmeyer and Per Torgerson. Both Stolhnerm and Torgerson accounted for a goal apiece in - the hectic second period. The - third INittany marker was credited tb Pete. Weigand. After a scoreless first period the frosh booters received their ' first break when Stollmeyer drove one past th,.• Teachers' goal ie on a penalty kick. Eight min utes later. Torgerson, who had been removed due to a leg irri tation, came off the bench to register the second score from twelve yards out. . Moments later, • Roger Weigand received a pass from Dick Yeat man and caught the Teachers flat- footed as he scored in the right hand corner, from a distance of twelve yards. In theory, 'Weigand was crowded in the center of the goal area and apparently was ex pected to pass to his rear. In practice, however, the ,Cub hoot er drove one through - the pack and past the amazed and motion less Teachers' goalie. "Other than a lack of condi tion which was due to only two weeks, practice, the boys played very good soccer," Bischoff said. Particularly outstanding wa s Stollmeyer, who was invaluable on defense and a thorn in the Teachers' side on offense. Altho hampered by a leg injury, Tor gerson nevertheless demonstrated his ability and continually blasted at. the Teachers' goal from all angles. Also turning in a fine perform ance was outside left Bruce Walsh. The frosh wingman appar ently is possessed of that quality known as "drive." erts, a consistent front-runner during practice sessions, to im prove on last week's showing. Ron Lewis, Norm Shoup, Al Jones, and Bruce Austin round out the Lion squad. Jim Pastorius, expected to be one of the top harriers on this year's team, may again be miss ing from the Nittany lineup. Pas torius did not make the trip to Annapolis. The varsity meet will get under way immediately after the fresh man tussle. • The Lion frosh, gettixig their first chance at college competi tion, have lighted a spark in Coach Norm Gordon's eyes. "Although they are still un tried in a regular meet, we have the feeling that the freshman have the makings of something better than we've had the past few years," Gordon said. Two men. Fred Kerr and-Ed THE DAILY COI.LEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA tiny Lions are at the top of the list for teams being "gunned for." But, to combat this spirited Ram outfit, Hosterman will start a star-laden lineup, featuring pro ' scorer, Dick Packer, who scored two of the three goals registered in the win over Army. Packer will be at center for ward flanked by Dick Matacia at inside left and junior Tommy Nute at inside right. Matacia has looked impressive in pre-game practices and Nute, who was a. substitute against the Cadets, will replace lan Springer mainly be cause of his brilliant work this week. At the outside spots will be Don Shirk and sophomore Jim Hedberg with Ward Hill, Ihor Stelnyk, and Steve Flamporis roaming the halfback spots. Both Hill and Flamporis are juniors along with Dave Davis the fullback. Ralph Brower, the second fullback, is a sophomore, which leads one to believe that whether Hosterman has a win ning season this year or not, his 1956 team will be loaded with experienced men. At goalie will be George Geczy with John Lawrence ready to spell him at any. moment in the game. Hosterman 'said that, this week's practice was good, with the play ers passing the ball with accuracy and with the much needed speed, that goes with passing. He said that some of the play ers were downhearted over their numerous mistakes, but he added that this is caused from the fact that his player s,. competing against each other every day, knoar practically everyone's hab its, which causes "sort of a stale mate." • Hosterman said that even if his team does get by West Chester, they still will have five tough opponents to face. Tough Schedule "I think this is a tougher sched ule than last year because most of our games with strong oppon ents are on the road," he said: Hosterman said that he expects to win today's game, but he add ed, "It's rough predicting the out come of a game when you don't know what your opponent has." The Lions will begin practice on Monday in preparation for the Syracuse game which will be played Saturday at the Orange men's field. In last year's contest the national champs routed Syra cuse 9-2. Following the Syracuse game, the booters venture to Lewis burg to play the Bisons of Buck nell and then to Colgate to play the Red Raiders. Maryland will provide the opposition when the Lions return home front their three-game engagement. Moran, are expected to carry the brunt of the frosh attack. Kerr was the mile and half-mile cham pion in last year's PIAA event while Moran has proven himself to be a good distance runner in eariler practice sessions. fit COLLEGE DINER Good Food Practice Was Good Pigskin Coin Flips . . .
