Hosterman to Employ
'Wait and See' Attitude
By LOU PRATO
The "crying towel"—which is as necessary to many athletic coaches as a fraternity pin
is to a coed—has never been part of soccer coach Ken Hosterman's equipment.
Nothing has been added for 1956, either.
Since the booters have been practicing for only two days, Hosterrnan has developed a
"wait and see" attitude.
"I have nine lettermen back from last season's undefeated team and several better-than
average sophomores up from the, * * *
freshman team," says Hosterman,
"but I can not forget that I lost
seven men including two-time
All-American Dick Packer. If I
can find a player who can do half
the job Packer did I'd be set."
Thirty-five candidates includ
ing a few freshmen reported for
Wednesday's opening practice
session and a few more made
their" initial appearance yester
day. The rest of the squad is
expected to show up as soon as
their individual physical exam
inations are completed.
All of the letterwinners report
ed Wednesday. Included in this
group are Captain Steve Flam
poris, Ward Hill, John Lawrence,
Ralph Brower, Dave Davis, Tom
Nute, Jim Hedberg,
.Toni, Ben
ford, and Harold Walt .
Several non-lettermen from last
year's team—i n c l u d i n g Jerry
Bruce, Tony Tremonte, and Jim
Edwards—have•also returned.
Jim Litterio, a junior who
sat out last year because of a
brain concussion, is also back
for another try. Hosterman is
counting on Litterioto strength
en the wing positions.
Four transfer students from
Ogontz Center are on hand and
Hosterman feels that one or two
of them might be a "find." Herb
Hertner has been the most im
pressive in the short time that
the drills have been held.
. .
SOCCER SHORTS—Two of the
sophomore booters on this year's
team would probably qualify for
a "traveling the furtherest dis
tance" award (those kind that are
given at high school reunions) if
one was to be given ... Per Tor
geson's home is Norway and Mike
Stollmeyer hails from the British
West Indies . . .

Dick Packer was a first team
choice from State . . . and

When the booters open the 1956
season at Bucknell they will be
out to protect a 18 game winning
streak, the longest win string in
Penn State history . . . Temple
