Rooters Shutout Temple, 5-0
Tie Record
As Packer
Boots Three
By FRAN FANUCCI
The magic number of Penn.
State's soccer team is now one!
With the 5-0 win over Tem
ple Saturday tying Penn
State's all-time winning rec
ord of 17 straight games, the
Lion booters need a win over
Pitt Saturday to set a new record.
Dick Packer, who scored three
times against Temple, now needs
one goal to tie the record of 23
for a single season set in 1952
by Jack Pinezich.
Besides scoring three times,
Packer passed and dribbled the
ball with flawless skill. His 30
yard pass in the second quarter
to Don Shirk set up the first
Lion score, and later he sewed
up the game with his prolific
scoring. The fifth goal was drilled
in by Tommy Nute.
The Lions, attempting 42 shots,
so completely dominated th e
game that the Temple booters
were able to try only eight shots.
After a scoreless first quarter,
in which both teams seemed to
be plagued by over-anxiousness,
the Lions bro k e the scoring
column when Shirk tapped in a
head shot from five yards out.
Packer rifled one through the
Owl goalie for the second Nit
tam, score midway through the
quarter. But the Lions were
stalemated for the remainder of
the period and the half ended,
2-0.
In the third quarter, after miss
ing nine shots, the Lions scored
the game's third goal with Nute
booting it in from 20 yards. The
Owls came right back to make
a slight threat into Lion territory
but failed to score when George
Geczy, Lion goalie, grabbed an
attempted shot.
The Lions moved the ball back
over the midfield stripe but were
foiled when Owl goalie, Walt
Manning, who turned in a re
markable performance, made a
sensational stop of Pocker's hard
shot.
In the fourth quarter the air
of over-anxiousness continued to
linger over the heads of the Lion
booters. Making successive drives
time after time, the Nittanies
booted the ball deep into Temple
territory only to be stopped by
an amazing goalie save or a de
flected pass.
Eighteen minutes elapsed be
fore Packer was able to boot
in a penalty kick for the fourth
Lion score. With two minutes
remaining in the game. Packer
banged in another for the fifth
score of the game and his 22nd
of the year.
It was the first shutout of the
year for the booters, whose de
fense sparkled with Steve Flam
poris, Ward Hill, and Shirk play
ing bang-up games. Flamporis
was moved to the center half
position, when Ihor Stelnyk had
to be taken from the game early
in the first quarter because of a
severe charley-horse. Jim Ed
monds moved into Flamporis'
right half-back spot for the re
mainder of the game.
For Temple the most outstand
ing player on the field was Man
ning. He stopped over thirty Lion
attempts and was the main reason
the score wasn't higher.
Other Owls playing top-notch
games were outside left, Bob
Damerjina, who intercepted nu
merous Lion passes, and Frank
Fanucci, who although being held
scoreless for the first time this
year, paced the Owl offense for
most of the game.
Hosterman, in describing the
game, repeated just one sen
tence: "It was great, it was
great."
The Lions play Pitt Saturday
at Beaver Field in their final
game of the year.

Frosh Gridders
Continue Practice
Although the regularly scheduled 1955 football season is
over, all is not quite over on the freshman grid scene at
Beaver Field.
Frosh mentor Earl Bruce has his gridders practicing twice
a week in order that he, along with head coach Rip Engle, may
get a better outlook on prospects for next year,
This year's squad—due to its
good size along the line in addi
tion to several promising backs—
has given rise to the hope that
they will supply the Lion varsity
with the much-needed depth for
next year's campaign.
' Tackles Stand Out
The stand-out play of the frosh
tackles the position where the
need will be the greatest has
brought a glitter to the eyes of
the varsity coaching staff.
Joe Bohart, 220-pound tackle
from Tarentum and Don Delmore,
215-pounder from Dunmore, have
displayed the best potential in
that position with Liverpool's
Gene Grabosky coming in for his
share of the praises.
Jim Deluca, 185-pound brother
of varsity gridder Dick DeLuca,
has spearheaded the play of the
junior Lion guards during the past
season and is expected to add to
the strength of the varsity line.

graduation, was handled very
capably for the frosh by Steve
Garban, 194-pound pivot man
from Brownsville.
Ted Junker, 190-pound wing
man from Carnegie, and Erie's
Dick Dill are listed among the top
prospects at the end positions.
Junker was particularly impres
sive due to his sparkling defen
sive play in the three frosh games.
Bruce Gilmore, left halfback
from Reading, heads the list of
backfield prospects for next year.
The Reading speedster scored two
of the •Lions three touchdowns
during the season.
Hard-driving Back
Fullback Steve Friedman from
Highland Park could supply the
varsity with a hard-driving sub
stitute capable of picking up those
extra yards when called upon.
Right halfback Bill Mendicino,
Vandergrift native, and Maurice
Schliecher of Walnut Park, also
contributed greatly to the fresh
man offense.
