PAGE SIX Rooters Edge Bucknell, 4-3; Extend Win Streak Penn State's soccer team, behind 3-2 at half time, staged a second half comeback to edge a stub born Bucknell team, 4-3, at Lewisburg yesterday to extend its undefeated string to 13 games. A far cry from last year's contest with the Bisons, which the Lions won 14-1, yesterday's game featured tight defense for both clubs, and for a while the possibility of a major upset seemed certain. But the Lion booters, a strong second half team, fought back to tie the Bisons early in the third period and then went on to win. Captain Dick Packer scored in the opening minutes of the final quarter. The Nittanies took an early lead when Don Shirk scored at 3:45 in the first quarter, but were deadlocked three minutes later when Dick Clark, Bison . inside right, rifled one past George Gezcy, the Lion goalie. Matacia Ejected from Game Dick Matacia, who was ejected from the game in the second quar ter for allegedly playing rough, put the Nittanies in front for a short time when he tapped a 15- yarder in at 10:45 in the first. But, George Dowden, center forward, solved this Bison prob lem with comparative ease by scoring two fast goals before the quarter ended to give the upset minded Bisons a 3-2 lead. That ended the Bucknell scor ing as the Lion booters tightened up and held the Bisons scoreless the rest of the way. Nute Ties Score After failing to score in the second quarter and trailing by one goal at the half, the charges of Ken Hosterman roared back when Tommy Nute scored with four minutes gone in the second half, tying the score for the sec ond time in the game. Then, in the fourth quarter, Packer, who has 10 goals this year, scored the deciding point and the Nittanies held the re mainder of the way to win the game. The score doesn't tell the whole story, however. In matching sta tistics, the Lions held a wide mar gin in attempted shots trying 35 to Bucknell's 11, which alone proves that the Lion offense dom inated play, Bucknell Tries Eight Shots In the first half, which ap p2ared to be even for both sides, Bucknell tried eight shots and the Lions 12, with the Bisons making three of their shots good. Bucknell played strictly a de fensive game, while the Lions favored their more potent of fense. The Bisons used "kick-and run" tactics throughout the game, which put the booters deep in their own territory on a number of occasions.

Bth By FRAN FANUCCI Lions Face Favored Foe for 2d Week Last week Penn State played before a capacity crowd and was the decided underdog. This weekend it leaves Beaver Field to meet West Virginia at Morgantown. The place is different but the cir cumstances are the same: Penn State the underdog against the Mountaineers before an expected sellout crowd. Coach Art Lewis and his boys will be out to extend their mastery over the Lions for the third straight year, after upsetting Coach Rip Engle's Lions two years in a row. Lewis, with his two-platoon play, is having a hard time find ing out where his first string ends and where the second string begins. The Mountaineers have run up such scores that even the third string has seen considerable action. Lewis' team has dropped Richmond, 33-0; Wake Forest. 46-0; Virginia Military Institute, 47-12; and William and Mary. 39-14. In addition to the Lions tang ling with another unbeaten team for th e second consecutive week —this one has been scored on —Lion coach Jim 0' Hor a, who sc out ed West Virginia, says: "We're going down there to play a double header. You'll know what I mean when you Joe Marconi see We s t Vir ginia: The second team is as good as the first." _ _ . West Virginia, rated eighth in the nation by the Associated Press, has a full complement of six or seven backs whom O'Hora lauds for their past deeds. Included, of course, is quar terback Freddy Wyant. a four year man at that post, halfbacks Bobby Moss and Jack Rabbits, and fullback Joe Marconi. O'Hora, who said he thought West Virginia may be bigger, stronger, and faster than either Army or Navy, pointed to depth as being the real tip-off of what the Mountaineers boast in four wins. Marconi, Fredericktown, Va.. senior. is a 6-1, 218-pound full back, and has been a veteran for two years. He's backed up by senior Bobby Moss, 194- pound halfback, a consistent ground gainer for the past two years, and Jack Rabbits, Jean nette. the fastest man on the team and a dangerous break away runner.
