Rooters Tackle Orange;
Little to Start at Full
DT FRAN FAMUCCI
Soccer Coach Ken Hosterman has announced only one change in his starting line
vp for the Syracuse game, which will begin at 10 this morning at Syracuse University.
Senior Bob Little will replace Dave Davis at fullback on the strength of his impressive
showing in practice sessions this week.
With the exception of Little, Hosterman said that his lineup will remain intact. At the
other fullback spot will be Ralph Brower, who played solid defensive ball in the win over
West Chester last Saturday.
At halfbacks the "old reliable
three" will again start. At left
half, sophomore Ward Hill gets
the nod, with right half being
manned by steady Steve Flam
poris. Hosterman said that Flam
poris did an excellent job against
West Chester, which boasted of
a fast and experienced right half.
"Steve probably will not face
another man so good as that Ram
back for the rest of the season,"
he said.
If any team has the makings
of a good center halfback, it will
probably have a , better than av
erage season, Hosterman con
tinued.
But, probably second in impor
tance only to the center half spot
is the center forward position,
which is held by captain Dick
Packer, leading scorer and All-
American from last year. He is
the team's leading scorer this
year.
Packer Dangerous
The Syracuse defense will cen
ter about him, but if Packer's
boots are driven with the speed
and accuracy that he is capable
of pulling off, the Orange may
be in for one of their roughest
games.
At the line positions flanking
Packer on his left, Hosterman has
named Don Shirk for outside left,
a veteran who has bolstered the
Nittany team tremendously, and
Dick Matacia, a pre-season schol
astic question mark who has blos
somed into one of the top de
fensemen in the East, at inside
left.
At inside right junior Tommy
Nute will get the call over vet
eran Mert Springer, and at out
side right Jim Hedberg, who has
looked exceptionally good for a
player who never played varsity
soccer before, will start.
•
Geczy at Goalie
At goalie will be George Geczy,
who turned in numerous saves
in last week's contest.
Hosterman said yesterday, be
fore leaving for Syracuse, that he
feels the boys are "up to it" and
if they play as they're supposed
to, they should win.
The Lion booters will return
tonight and will start practice
Monday. The Bucknell Bison will
host them on Wednesday after
noon with Colgate furnishing the
opposition on Saturday in the fin
ale of the three-game road en
gagement.

Present Today
Six members of Penn State's
1905 football team are expected
to be among the huge throng in
attendance at today's Navy game.
The team, captained by E. G.
Yeckley, of Lorain, Ohio, is hold
ing a reunion.
In 1905, when a touchdown
scored five points, Yeckley's team
lost to the Middies, 11 to 5. Yeck
ley, who first thought of the idea
of having a reunion, accounted
for the lone Penn State score by
picking up a blocked punt and
running 80 yards goalward.
Among the football players ex
pected at the reunion are "Irish"
Mcllveen, of Lorain, Ohio; "Hi"
Henry, of Creighton; C. H. Camp
bell, of Logansport, Ind.; an d
Yeckley.
Penn State's first All-American,
William "Mother" Dunn, was no
tified of the reunion, but replied
he felt the trip from Hawaii
might be too such for him. Dunn
is now a retired medico.
The 1905 team's record was
l eight wins and three losses.
Former Star to Miss Game
"Lighthorse Harry" Wilson, now
a full colonel in the U.S. Air
Force, isn't scheduled to• return
to his alma mater Saturday for
'the Penn State-Navy football
game. In 1923, on Navy's last visit
[ to Beaver Field, Wilson raced 55,
'77 and 95 yards for touchdowns
that gave the Nittany Lions a
21-3 victory.
