Tie Record
As Matacia,
Packer Star
By FRAN FANUCCI
It seems as though soccer
Coach Ken Hosterman has
himself another powerhouse.
Proof of this was shown Sat
urday at Syracuse where the
Lion booters routed the Or
angemen, 14-1, behind the
steady shooting of Captain
Dick Packer and Dick Matacia.
The booters meet the Bucknell
Bisons at 3 p.m. tomorrow at
Lewisburg.
Packer, who now has nine
goals in three games, scored a
blistering five times Saturday.
Matacia broke into the scoring
column for the first time this
year by tallying four.
The 14 goals ties a record set
last year when the hooters
scored 14 against Bucknell. The
old mark of 13 was set in 1939
against Carnegie Tech.
The win extends the Lions' un
defeated string to 13 games, with
three wins coming this year. The
streak was started in 1953.
Against the Orangemen, the
Lions completely dominated play
for the four quarters, with nearly
all of the action centered on their
side of the midfield stripe.
The Lions attempted 53 shots,
while Syracuse managed a mere -
six, which alone shows the tre
mendous defense the Lions dis
-played.
On offense it was Packer, Ma
tacia, and TommY Nute. Nute
scored three times to break the
scoring ice for the first time, too.
The other goals were tallied by
Ihor Stelnyk and Don Shirk.
Packer commenced the firing
with a goal at two minutes into
the first quarter. From there on
it was all Penn State. Four more
goals were added in the first
period to make the score 5-0.
Hosterman dotted the field with
substitutes in the second stanza
ar*el they scored two goals to
put the Lions ahead 7-0 at half
time.
It took the Nittanies exactly
10 minutes to score in the second
half. Nute, getting excellent pass
ing from his teammates, rifled
one in from 20 yards out. The
hooters then added two more to
run the score to 10-0 at the end
of the third quarter.
The fourth quarter was an
other 22 minutes of scoring for
the Lions. Packer continued his
I blazing pace by banging in an
other gold. Matacia kept ground
by scoring two. Stelynk, a de
fensive stalwart for the past
two years, then moved out of
his center half position and
scored his first '55 goal.
Syracuse, unable to move
through the Lions' stout defen
sive line, finally pushed one past
the Lion goalie for their only
goal, Dave Eaton scored for the
Orange by sneaking one by John
Lawrence, who made a desperate
bid to stop it.
Hosterman was baffled trying
to point out individual stars.
The youthful soccer mentor
said that his three halfbacks—
Steve Flamporis. Stelynk. and
Ward Hill played their best
game of the year, and added,
"they look a lot like the '54
team."
The Lion coach was high in his
praises of fullbacks Bob Little
and Ralph Brower and second
string goalie Lawrence. He said
that Little looked exceptionally
good and Lawrence played fine
ball while he was in there.
Valentine Top Linesman
Sam Valentine, husky guard
from Dußois, has been unani
mously selected as the Penn State
lineman of the week by the Daily
Collegian Sports staff.
Valentine, who won the honor
for the second time, was chosen
mainly on the bone-crushing
tackles he displayed against the
Middies.

period as the third string put on a
scoring drive of its own.
In the first half, Penn Sta e
scored and took the lead 7-6 to be
the' first 'team ' to cross Navy's
goal line this year. • The score
came on a 52-yard drive that was
sparked by quarterback Hoffman,
who flipped a 23-yard pass to
sophomore end Jim Caldwell.
The first-quarter score fol-
lowed five plays later when
halfback Billy Kane cut off
Navy's left tackle as he caught
Navy's line slipping to the right.
Kane got the handoff - from
Hoffman. and sliced across the
line on a scissors play for the
nine-yard run and the score.
Guard Sam Valentine made it
7-6 with the extra point.
From there, Navy picked up a
fumble, and went on to score to
take a 13-7 lead. Four plays later
Penn State was forced to punt;
Welsh, almost trapped on the
next play as Navy took over on
the Lions' 44, recovered and
picked up eight. He passed to
Chet Burchett, one of his three
favorite targets, for nine, and
then pulled his touchdown play.
Guest took a screen pass on
the 26. picked up four blacker&
and scored the third Navy TD.
Ned Oldham made it 20-7 with
the extra point.
In the second half Penn State,

down by a 20-7 count, picked up
a first down as Hoffman went to
the belly series in an attempt to
get a scoring drive started. The
attack stalled, and Navy took
over on its own 33.
Welsh took the snap from cen
ter, eyed an open - receiver down
the middle, cocked his arm, but
didn't throw • the ball. Burchett
was in the clear. Welsh• spotted
him; cocked his versatile flipper
again, and hit the halfback on
the Lions' 40. Burchett completed
the 67-yard TI) play on a 40-yard
run that made it 26-7 •at 3:50 of
the third, quarter. Oldham made
it 21-7.
Navy threatened again in the
third quarter but after running
nine plays and picking up two
first downs. fullback Dick
Guest failed to pick up the
necessary yard on fourth and
one to go. The Lions took over,
were stopped. and Navy went
on to score on a 54-yard drive .
in 11 plays that saw Welsh con
necting for three • passes good
for 15 yards. - Guest bolted over
from the one at 1:15 of the final
period to make it 33-7. Oldinun
connected again for a 34-7
count.

a 35-yard drive when Emil Cap
rara picked off a Jim Hochberg
screen pass on his own 32 and

next play. End Jack Faris made
it 34-14 with the extra point.
