PAGE SIX Booters Risk Winning Streak Seek 19th Straight Win Against Bucknell Today Penn state's soccer team throws its 13-game winning streak into the ring this afternoon at Beaver Field when the defending co-national champions play host to Bucknell Uni versity in the 1956 opener. Game time is - 2 p.m. The Lion booters have not been beaten since the next-to the-last game of the 1953 campaign when Temple turned the trick, 2-0. Coach Ken Hosterman's crew roared back from that loss to establish a Penn State soccer record for consecutive victories. In 1954 the Lions• were un beaten in nine frays and were declared national champions of intercollegiate soccer. They almost duplicated their feat last year with another. all-conquering nine game season. But instead of claiming the national champion title all to themselves, the soccer men had to split the honor with Brockport State Teachers College. ~of New York. HOSTERMAN lost seven men from the 1955 aggregation includ ing six starters. The biggest de parture was that of two-time All- American Dick Packer who broke the Lion scoring record last year with 25 goals. There is no "Packer" among the local hooters this year but Hosterman is counting on three men to take up the slack left by his graduation. Only one of the three—captain Steve Flamporis— is of proven ability. The others Torgeson and Mike Stoll meyer—are newcomers. fI.AMPORIS, in his third year as a Nittany starter, has played in all but one of the 18 record victories. That was the final game of the 1953 season when he was only a freshman. Flamporis is not recognized for his scoring ability but he needs no introduction when it comes to playmaking and defensive skill. However, Hoster man is hoping that the senior captain will add scoring to his formula this year. IF NOT, the soccer mentor can call on either Torgeson or Stoll meyer to solve the scoring prob lem. They are sophomores with out previous varsity experience but both of them grew up with the game. Torgeson is from Nor way and Stollmeycr is a citizen of Trindidad in the British West Indies. According to Hosterman. Pigskin Coin Flips ... Out On a Limb Lucky Lou Prato continues his "be different" policy as The l Daily Collegian's football poll enters its second week.
