THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1955 Rookie Bootees Ist Goal Wins Tilt In 1928, during a hectic Army-Notre Dame football game, a gangling Irish youngster by the name of Johnny O'Brien raced on the field for the immortal Knute Rockne and snatched a forward pass for a last minute victory over the Cadets. The youngster, who had been unknown to the fans and the press, became famous as Johnny "One-Play" O'Brien. And as easily and dramatically as he appeared, Johnny O'Brien faded into oblivion. Saturday Penn State's national championship soccer team found itself deadlocked in the final period with fighting West Chester State Teachers College. Scores Crucial Goal With only five minutes remain ing in the game, and injuries plaguing the Nittany booters, Fred Trust, a sophomore, un known to both fans and his team mates, raced onto the field and dramatically ended the contest with the game-winning goal. An injury to veteran outside left, Don Shirk, forced Coach Ken Hosterman to inject the unknown Trust into the lineup. However, with veterans sitting on the bench, it took confidence and courage on Hosterman's part to place the sophomore against the stiffest competition the Nittany booters had faced in over a year. Hosterman turned to his bench, somewhat. depleted due to in juries, and called "Trust." A look of amazement and wonder spread Navy--Football's 1955 Team of Desire' . Navy's 1955 football team has been tinged with an air of New Orleans. And the Middies are proving their right to own the title "A Team Named Desire." It started last year when the team was named after the famed streetcar of the Louisiana City and movie land. It was . after the •inspiring 25-0 win over Stanford that Coach Eddie Erdelatz suggested the name when he was asked to single out starring players. Since then it's stuck. And according to Frank Pat rick, Lion line coach who scouted the Middies against Pitt, Navy is what the name implies. Navy Alert "They are alert, balanced, and aggressive," Patrick said, "and play a full sixty minutes of foot ball—making very few- Mistakes —to win." Here's how Patrick summed up his report: Ned Oldham and Chet Burchett are fast halfbacks that can hurt on outside runs. Dick Guest, the 180-pound fullback, is the up-the middle-man who' operates behind a versatile line. Standouts on the line are Earle Smith and Ron Beagle, ends;. John Hopkins, tackle; and Wilson Whitmire, center. All are letter men. Whitmire and Smith are juniors. Guess Does Punting Oldham and Burchett are both threats on punt and kickoff re turns with speed and deceptive ability, although' they are not "tricky" runners. Guest handles the puhting chores. (In eight tries, Guest has totaled 280 yards for a 35-yard per kick average). . Guest, a senior, has scored from fullback three times—twice against Pitt. With quarterback George Welsh handing off to him, Guest is Navy's favorite enterior (tackle to tackle) runner. Navy operates from the bal anced line, Split T with Welsh being the definite leader and strategist. "Their personnel is good from top to bottom," Patrick says, "but without Welsh I don't think the team would do half as well." Likes 5-2-4 Defense The defensive team—that hasn't allowed a score in three tests— is basically a 5-2-4 or 5-3 in open field. Guest and Whitmire form the bulk of Navy's defensive power in linebacking slots while Welsh, Burchett, and Oldham work the secondary. "We'll have to meet them with speed versus speed and aggres siveness versus aggressiveness," Patrick said. They're (Navy) on their toes." By JOHN LAWRENCE over the faces of the Penn State players. Who was this Trust? He was unknown even in practice! Moments later this question was answered as the sophomore' . managed to get his toe on the ball and drive a high, hard shot to the left-hand corner of the goal, The West Chester goalie, Bob Rosnoski, surrounded by players of both teams, managed to de flect the ball, but not enough. It sailed below the crossbar. Bedlam immediately broke loose as Trust was hugged and soundly slapped on the back. Yet, no one could find the sophomore after the game in the dressing room. Apparently he had shower ed first, and left just as quickly. Only time will tell if Fred "One-Play" Trust will dissolve the O'Brien legend and remain on the Penn State soccer scene. It'll take a lot of hard work gain ing experience, but if Trust's first-game performance is indica tive, he may make the first team. Now he's a hero. What he is in the future is up to him.

Arnelle, speedy for his 230- pound frame, has been doing nearly everything well since he joined the Trotters. Last year owner-coach Abe Saperstein took the high-scoring star to Europe on the Globetrotters' sixth an nual tour. Arnelle fit into the Trotter system with such ease that Saperstein sold All-Ameri can Walter Dukes to the New York Knickerbokers to make room for him. Saperstein had to bid high against a number of pro clubs to acquire the services of Arnelle, but the Move has been paying dividends ever since. Fall Semester Engineering Graduates majoring in Elect.
