PAGE SIX Booters Nip Colgate, 2-1; Extend Streak As Packer Sparkles Winning by close scores is getting to be a habit with Penn State's soccer team. Saturday, for the second consecutive game, the Lion booters won by one goal, registering a 2-1 victory over a spirited Colgate team at Hamilton, N.Y. All-American Dick Packer did all the scoring for the Lions. He scored both Lion goals in the second half. Colgate hit for its only score with two minutes remaining in the game to avert a shutout. It was the booter's 14th straight win, and the fifth this year. Four of this year's five wins have ben squeakers, with the Syracuse game standing as the only run-away. Saturday's contest was scoreless until Packer dfove one in at 14:05 of the third quarter. The Nittany captain com pleted the Lion .scoring by rifling a shot in at 12:53 of the final garter. • The Nittany defense held the Raiders scoreless until the final period, when Stu Lewis scored on a miskick by fullback Ralph Brower, which rolled directly in front of the Lion goalie net 14th Win fin Lions It was the 14th time since 1941 that the Lions have whipped Col gate. They have never been beat en by the Raiders. Lion Coach Ken Hosterman said that he has no explanation for the low-scoring games. "The boys have the potential and the potency to be a high-scoring team but they just haven't found them selves," he said. "But don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to alibi. Colgate has a fine team and they played great ball against us," he said, but it's just that we outplay these teams in every phase of the game and still the score remains low." Top Raiders by 10 Shots In Saturday's game the Lions attempted 37 shots to Colgate's 27. In the first half alone they at tempted 23 shots with not a goal registering. Hosterman said this causes dis couragement among his players. "It's just as if a football team drives to its opponents five yard line six or seven times a game and never scores," he explained. Hosterman pointed out goalie George Geczy and his halfback Ward Hill for top-notch playing. His top offensive ace for the fourth time this year was Packer, who now has 12 goals to his credit and is only 11 shy of the record 23 set by Jack Pinezich. Colgate Showed Fast Team He said that his inside, Dick Matacia and Tommy Nute, were Wow and didn't play their brand of ball. He added that Colgate outran the team and passed it. Hosterman cancelled practice yesterday to give the team a rest, but will drill the Lions today in preparation for the Maryland game next Tuesday. Following the Maryland game, the Lions will journey to Anna polis, Md., to play Navy on Nov. 8. and then return home to close the season with Temple, whose 19- game winning streak was broken last year by the Nittanies, and Pittsburgh, a traditional rival.
