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."

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.
ANGELS ARE PEOPLE
Sure we are. We have
male and female - Angels,
and we like to fraternize.
But Female Angels are
like all other Females—
they're wonderfu l; < bu t
they're a 1 s o particular.
They like neat men. That
means well-groomed hair.
- And you know where to
go for that--Smith's.

Arnelle Signs Pact
With Globetrotters
Jesse Arnelle, greatest basket
ball player in Penn State history,
signed with the Harlem Globe
trqtters Tuesday night.
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.
