THURSDAY. OCTOBER k. 1956 Booters Poise For Crucial Tilt Two of the leading soccer powers in the nation clash head-on Saturday afternoon when Coacn Ken Hosterman takes his Penn State soccermen to the eastern part of the state to meet West Chester State Teachers College. The tilt could very well determine the 1956 intercollegiate na tional champion. Last year, the Nittany Lions barely squeezed by the West Chester eleven, 3-2, on their way to the national crown. The Rams went the rest o£ the way undefeated, finishing the season with a 10-1 mark. With seven starters back from the 1955 West Chester squad, it is no wonder that Hosterman is feeling a little uneasy over the upcoming encounter. “They v/ili be out to avenge last year’s loss and will really be ‘up’ for the game,’’ says the Lion mentor, “but we are the champions and champions don’t get scared easily.” Hosterman lost seven men from his 1955 starting array and has had to fill most of these positions with inexperienced sophomores. But those newcomers proved by the way they handled Bucknell last Saturday in the season opener that they intend to maintain Penn State’s claim to the national title. • “We were slow in getting started against Bucknell," Hosterman said, “but once we did, there was no stopping us.” If we can continue the same style of play at West Chester that worked against Bucknell, then there is almost r o question of our coming out on top.” “However, ’t Hosterman added, “we can not make any mistakes) against West Chester They are a much better team than Bucknell and will turn every error into a scoring opportunity.” Hosterman has been-stressing ball handling and offensive maneuvers in practice sessions.! He will face a modified defense from the Rams which will show three fullbacks in the rear line instead of the regular two. This alignment is tough to score upon, says Hosterman, but it puts a lot of strain 'on the wingmen who on offense have to compen sate for the loss of that man from the front line But it works. Last year, with this “three back system,” the Rams had only si;: goals scored against them, three of the scores by Penn State. Frosh Gridders In Scrimmage A full-scale freshman scrim mage scheduled for't omor r o w should provide coach Earl Bruce with the final step in his “weed ing out” process in preparation for the Oct. 13 grid opener at An napolis. Bruce announced today that he will probably rgveal his first and second team choices Monday, but don’t bi surprised if the second team plays more than the first. In the last few days, Bruce has been directing pass drills. Throw ing well, according to Bruce, are Glassport’s Rich Lucas, and Joe DeNone, of Braddock. Following the team’s first scrimmage two weeks ago, Bruce indicated he was pleased over the defensive play. In line for plaud its were guards Dan- Maddigan and Earl Romigh: centers Earl Kohlhass and Ed Stellatella: and tackle John Sava. Jack Urban was eited by Bruce for his work in the defensive backfield.
