SATURDAY. OCTOBER 22. 1,55 Penn State Sports— ON THE LINE YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING: Here—in our backyard—where perhaps we can't "see the forest for the trees," Penn State sports fans have a special feature attrac tion in fall sports. Taking .the game attendance figures as an in dication of the interest, we feel that most of you are missing some thing more than interesting in sports. It's soccer. Coach Hen Hosterman. now in his third season at the helm. and the soccermen were 1184 National Champs. They were un defeated. They had two All-Americans. This year they started an improved. scheddle with two of the East's top teams (Army and West Chester'State Teachers) and they are still undefeated. Today they visit Colgate. Defensively the Lions aren't as solid as last year, when they allowed only seven goals in eight games. Thus far the opposition has netted seven in foiar games, but the Lions' winning power is illustrated in its unequalled scoring power that shows 24 gOals in only four games. On the line Captain Dick Packer has been a standout; he's been helped considerably by Mart Springer, Tommy Nate; and Dick Matacia—all vets of last year's National Championship team. "Thor Stelnyk has done a wonderful job," Hosterman said. Stelnyk, a native of Russia and a two-year veteran, is a fiery com petitor and a -gentleman every minute he's on the field. He is handling the center halfback slot—vital on both defense and of fense—for tke second straight year. In the next four • vreeks they meet Maryland, Navy, Temple. and Pitt. 'Three of these games (Maryland, Temple, and Pitt) are at home. There's your chance. See them. Hosterrnan and his crew haven't compiled a 14-game win streak over a season and a half with medi ocre-ball playing. They've got talent, hustl e , spirit, and for the most part, tough opposition. But what happened against usually weak Bucknell Wednes day when the Lions squeezed by with a 4-3 win in a game that should have been won easily and by a larger score? Each year Army is the game to "build to." In other words, the anticipation for the annual tough battle with the Cadets sets the pace. This year that game was first. Against Bucknell, field conditions were bad. And according to Hosterman, "the boys weren't , Cocky. We're not alibiing. The field was bad. Had we played them here it would have been entirely different." Hosterman doesn't need a alibi. The Lions won. And the Buck nell game could very well be similar to an "Army" game, but in a different sense. _ _ Everybody's "after' 'and "up" for the winner—particularly the undefeated winner. Hosterman's team knows that. They're champs, but even champs get nervous when, in each game, they face the high-spirited attitude of each team they meet. We feel that's what happened in the first half against Buck nell when the Bisons took a-3-2 halftime lead. In the second half. the Lions learned something; they had to shake "it," and play ball. They tlid. After Bucknell got eight shots in the first half, making three of them, the Lions held them to a meager three while they went on their merry way taking 23 shots and making two. Pigskin Coin Flips . Out On a Limb Sports Editor Roy Williams will be out today to retain the slim margin he obtained last Saturday in the Daily Collegian's weekly grid poll.

According to a publicity re lease from West Virginia, the Panther yearlings "were in the game all the way, an unsuccessful extra point providing the margin of victory."
