TUESDAY. OCTOBER 9.1956 Soccer Streak Snapped at 1 Nittonies, West Chester, In Scoreless Struggle A gloomy and disappointing feeling prevailed at West Chester Saturday aftenoon after West Chester’s soccer team had stopped the IS-game winning streak of the Penn State soccermen in a 0-0 double overtime encounter. The gloom cameifrom the'Nittany players who saw their bid for victory number 20 (over a four vear period) come to an abrupt end. I . | -k -k -k And the disappointment emerged from West Chester soc cer men who outplayed the local hooters most of the game. However,- the game wasn’t - a complete failure for either team. Even though their wir ning streak was snapped, the Nitlany soccer men are still unbeate n and still in contention for tljie national title, West Chester gained last year’s 3-2 defeat t which ruined an unbc for the Rams. Both coaches had jittle to say about the outcome of the tilt. Lion mentor Ken Hosterman hated to see the wiming streak come to an end but he thought that his boys played the best game that they could. West Ches ter Coach Earle Walters, on the other hand, felt that his Rams outplayed the Lions and that the victory should have been theirs. Hampered by Injuries Hosterman’s - forces were ham pered by injuries to Mike Stoll rneyer' and Per Torgeson, key players in the Lion attack. Stoll meyer was nursing a blister that broke before the game and Tor geson re-injured his foot in the first quarter. Both continued to play prac tically the whole game, but their injuries limited their scoring po tential. This was especially true of Torgeson who attempted only one shot—far below his average —the whole time he was in ac tion. The Lions started off in the first quarter as if they were go ing to run roughshod over the Rams. They were on the offensive most of the period and although they didn’t score they kept the West Chester goalie on his toes. Lawrence Stars But the rest of the game it was the Lion goalie, John Lawrence, who had to keep awake. West Chester put the Lions on the de fensive for the last three periods and both of the overtime sessions and it was mainly through the efforts of Lawrence and fullbacks Ralph Brower and Otto Rosen berger that the Rams failed to score. West Chester had 46 shots at Yanks' 2-0 Win Pushes Bums Behind in Series (Continued from page one) the ninth with the first series no-hilier in his grasp, they roared at every pilch. Pennock's record had been equalled by Schoolboy Howe of Detroit in 1934. Memories of Floyd Bill Bevens and his 8% hitless innings for the Yanks against the Dodgers in 1947' came back when Manager ■Walter Alston sent up Mitchell, a Cleveland castoff, to face the pitcher with two out and nobody on base. Everybody remembered how Cookie Lavagetto’s pinch double had ruined Bevans that October afternoon and sent him reeling to the dressing room with a heart-breaking defeat. Larsen threw a teasing ball to, Mitchell. Then he came in with a called strike. Mitchell swung at! the next and missed. He fouled a pitch to the left field stands, leav ing Larsen still one pitch awa? from that shiny goal. The final pilch slid past Mit chell who started to swing and then checked his bat while Umpire Babe Pinelli. working his' last series plate job at the age of 60. made the "out" sign, It was Larsen's 971 h pitch oi a beautifully-pitched ball game. Until this perfect job, the do; est any series ever came was one-hitter. Ed Reulbach of tb Chicago Cubs in 1906, Claudi Passeau of the same Cubs in 19' and Bevens had readied th: Peak. revenge for o' the Lions, aten season the Lion goal including six corner kicks. The Nittanies collected on ly 25 attempts and had four comer kicks. Hosterman Pleased Hosterman, despite the let down. feeling stimulating from the end of the winning streak, was pleased with the play of his fullbacks, Brower and Rosenber ger. In last week’s victory over Bucknell, the fullbacks were the only disappointing factor. How ever, Brower and Rosenberger— a sophomore making his first start— came through in such fine style that Hosterman is not worrying over the matter any more. The Lions will try to start an other winning streak Saturday af ternoon when they entertain Syracuse University as part of the Homecoming celebration. Last year, the Nittanies waltzed to a 14-1 win over the Orange. SOCCER SHORTS —lt rained prior to the game making the field slippy and muddy ... A larger turnout was expected, but the weather and the World Series probably kept the fans away . . . All-American Dick Packer, the Olympic product who last year set a Lion scoring record with 25 goals, was in attendance at the game along with his parents . . . Packer is in the United States Air Force. Larsen had his closest call in the fifth when Mickey Mantle raced into left center to make a sensational backhanded catch of Gil Hodges long drive, al ways curling away from him as he ran. A few seconds later, little Sandy Amoros lined a ball into the right field stands, just barely foul. A second-inning smash by Jackie Robinson almost got away for a base hit when it slanted off Andy Carey’s glove toward short stop Gil McDougald who just made the throw in time to get Jackie. Larsen’s pitching was such a tremendous job that few paid at tention to Maglie, the first game winner. Old Sal gave up only five hits, after matching Larsen pitch! for pitch in the first 3’i innings.) THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
