WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1956 Harriers Sophomore talent may hold the key to a successful or un successful season for veteran cross-country coach Chick Werner's Lion harriers this year. With• the supply of returning upperclass veterans at a near, minimum, Werner will have to; base the nucleus of this year'sj varsity crop on his four mainstays: of the 1955 freshman squad—Ed Moran, Clem Schoenebeck, Fred Kerr, and Bob Thompson. ' These harriers were the big guns of last year's undefeated freshman squad and led the team to a second-place finish in the annual IC4-A meet at New York. Woodrow Tops Returnees Captain Don Woodrow heads the small list of returning letter men—he was probably the num ber two man on last year's win less club behind former captain Doug- Moorhead. Woodrow, Moran, Schoenbeck —a State College native—Kerr, and Thompson figure to be the top runners on the club with jun ior Alan Jones tagging along. Bob Kopf, Vince Korfman, and Ralph Bitsko rate as darkhorse members. Schedule Tough The Lions schedule rates with the toughest of any varsity squad at the University. our of the 40 Booter Report for Forty soccer candidates—including nine lettermen and a crop of promising sophomores —will be on hand today when Coach Ken Hosterman's two-time National Champion soccer team begins pre-season drills. With six starters missing from last year's undefeated eleven, and only 17 practice days' away from the. season opener with Bucknell, Hosterman will have his work cut out. Missing from the 1955 team are All-American Dick Packer, Dick Matacia, Ihor .Stelnyk, George Geczy, Bob Little, lan Springer, and Don Shirk. Packer's loss is the toughest. The 1956 Olympic product set a new Penn State individual scoring • record last year with 25 goals. Key Spot Open The loss of Ihor Stelnyk through graduation also cuts deep into the strength of the Nittany hooters, In 1955 Stelnyk was the starter in the center halfback spot—the key position on a soc cer team. Hosterman hopes to replace Stelnyk with either captain Steve Flamporis or sophomore Per Tor geson. For the past two years Flamporis has been in the left halfback slot. Eight Others Return Among the other returnees are goalie John Lawrence, halfback Ward Hill, fullbacks Ralph Brow er and Dave Davis, and forwards Torn Nute, Jim Hedberg, Torn Benford and Fred Waltz. Hill, Hedberg and Brower were regulars last year. Included among the sopho mores who are expected to battle for opening positions are half backs Bob Wittmeier and Don Meyer, fullbacks Paul Bauer and Otto Rosenberger, forwards Bruce Walsh and Mike Stollmeyer, and goalie Don Dougald.

Included on, the ledger are such prominent soccer powers as West Chester State Teachers College, Colgate, Maryland, Ar my, Navy, Catholic University, t and Temple. Out of these only West Point and Temple failed to register `satisfactory seasons last year. The Cadets finished with a 2-8 record while Temple ended its season with a 4-3-2 mark.
