Stickmen to Play
In Hofstra Tourney
For the second straight year Coach Nick Thiel’s Lion lacrosse
team inaugurates its season with a four-game jaunt to Hempstead,
N.Y., over the Easter recess.
The Nittany stickmen are part
of a five-team lineup participat
ing in a Round-Robin tournament
sponsored by Hofstra College, a
powerhouse in national lacrosse
circles.
Opening with New Hampshire
Thursday afternoon, the local
stickmen face Dartmouth the fol
lowing day, rest Saturday and
Sunday, and then finish tourney
competition Monday against
Adelphi and Hofstra.
Despite the fact that each team
is expected to oppose the other
four at least once, no tournament
champion will be crowned.
A twenty-five maa traveling
squad will be making the trip.
Thiel has already decided upon
a starting lineup for the New
Hampshire fray but he expects
to use all available bench
strength throughout tbe tourney. ,
Six lettermen will be at start
ing positions when the opening
whistle sounds. However, two of
these men—John Steimnuller and
Lou Girard —have net seen inter
collegiate competition in two
years, having returned from the
Armed Forces last fall.
Steimnuller is ticketed for a
midfield berth while Girard will
join Bill Hess and either letter
man Andy Bergeson or Tom See
man at the attack positions.
Hess, an outstanding sophomore
from New York, is highly regard
ed by his coaches. An aH-Ameri
can standout in high school, Hess
is expected to provide much of
the Lion scoring punch.
All-American candidate Cap
tain Bob Hamel and veteran
Jeff Bostock will team with
Sieinmuller at tbe midfield
spots. .. ..
Bob Bullock, Willard Snell and
Glen Fiscus are slated to start
at the defensive positions with
Jim Houck handling the duties
at the goal. Bullock, a starter in
1955, is the top defensive man on
the squad.
Fred Donahue and Ken Chest
nut are the first line reserves at
midfield slots with Steve Fried
man and Dave Friedenberg pro
viding the relief on defense.
On the basis of lasi season's
performances, Hofstra and New
Hampshire loom as'the tourney
favorites. Hofstra was the top
Lacrosse team of the Class B
colleges in 1915 and New Hamp
shire was tbe kingpin of the C
cat-gory. Teams are divided in
to cl uses according to the com
petition on its schedule,
strength of team, and won and
lost records.
Since the 1955 campaign, Hof
stra has advanced to the A divi
sion where National Champion
Maryland reigns as king. Penn
State, incidentally, is a member
of the Class B division, finishing
the 1955 season in a sixth place
tie with Dartmouth and Cornell.
