Booters Unbeaten Skein Halted
Penn Stops
Lion Streak
At 22, 3-2
By LOU PRATO
Penn State's soccer team
finally met its master Satur
day morning in Philadelphia
when the University of Penn-!
sylvania’s soccermen stopped 1
the Lion four-year undefeated
skein at 22 with a 3-2 win. !
The victory was the first for
Penn over the Nittany booters
since 1918 and left the series rec
ord between the two schools at
13-3-2 in favor of the Penn State
eleven. !
Coach Ken Hosterman's team 1
last felt the sting of defeat in the 1
next-to-lhe-last game of the 1953;
season when Temple shutout the
Lion booters. 2-0. I
Earlier in the season, the Nit-|
lany soccermen had a 19-game
winning streak snapped in a 0-0:
double overtime encounter with!
West Chester. But they had put'
together two additional wins be-!
fore Saturday's fracas and had en
tered the game with a 3-0-1 rec-j
ord. I
By winning, the Quakers boost
ed their seasonal mark to lour
wins, one loss, and one tie. "nicy
were beaten by Navy, 4-3, and
deadlocked by Swathmore, 1-1.
The other three victories are in
Ivy League competition where
they are in first place.
According to Hosterman, the
Lion booters outplayed their op
ponents in every respect but the
scoring department.
“We had 32 shots at the Penn
goal and they had only 23 at ours,”
the Lion mentor said. “In addition
we had 10 comer kicks to their
three. We did everything but
score.” j
“I don’t want to take anything
away from Penn for they have a
good team,” the booter coach con
tinued, “but it just wasn't our day.!
The ball wouldn’t go in the Penn 1
net.” |
Penn coach Chuck Scott must
of felt the same way that Hoster
jnan did. After the game the
Quaker tutor told Hosterman that
he "sure hated to win that one.”
Gerry Mayall, a junior wing
man, was the • big man in the!
Quaker attack. Mayall scored twoj
of the Penn goals including the]
game winning point in the waning
moment sot the fray. j
His partner at the other wing
post, Dick Tyrell. claimed secon
dary “hero honors.” Tyrell, the
Quaker captain, intercepted a
Penn State pass in the fourth
Seriod and kicked the ball to
tayall who in turn scored the
winning tally, past goalie John
Lawrence. In addition, Tyrell
scored the other Penn goal.
Per Torgeson and Tommy Nute
were the only point makers for
the Nittanies.
Nute opened the scoring in the
first quarter, giving the Lion
soccermen a 1-0 lead at the time.
Torgeson scored his ninth point
of the year in the third period,
breaking a 1-1 deadlock. Mayall’s
first goal in the second stanza tied
the score.
Tyrell lied the game up mid
way through the third period andl
Mayall put the clincher through,
the Lion goal with four minutes!
left in the final period.

run around the right side of the West Virginia line after taking a hand-off from quarterback Milt

But the fact is that the Lions are getting “up” for each game. Saturday they rolled up 308 yards
rushing for a season’s high, while holding the Mountaineers to 204 yards.
Quarterback Milt Plum, gai
of six passes, including a 39-yard
berigi and Billy Kane, who nev<
had two for two, while Kane had
one for one. A 1 Jacks completed
one for one. Total pass yardage
was 140 yards, giving the Lions a
grand total of 448 yards.
The reputed passing of Mountie
quarterback Mickey Trimarki fiz
zled amidst the outstanding pass
defense of the Lions. Trimarki
was able to complete only two of
18 attempts, one less than the
three interceptions turned in by
Plum
Kane was without a doubt the
outstanding back on the field.
The senior halfback rushed for
j 130 yards on 20 carries to edge
out Alberigi for the most yards
gained this season with 304. Al
berigi, who gained 75 yards on 18
tries, has 301 yards.
I Kane scored on a 52-vard scamp
er for the first TD. It was the|
longest run turned in this year!
i for a Lion back. But the Munhallj
veteran was also outstanding onj
defense, turning in key blocks and'
tackles, and catching Mountie
fullback Larry Krutlco from be
, hind to prevent a score.
Krutko was a bright spot in]
the otherwise dismal picture for
the Mountaineers. He gained 120
'yards on 20 carries and was a
nuisance throughout for the Nit
tany line.
Walters, Dan Radakovich, and
Sam Valentine were the main
stays of the Lion forward wall
with Jack Calderone and Walt!
Mazure also outstanding. j
