Torgeson Named
To All-America
Sophomore scoring star Per Torgeson entered his first
niche in the Penn State soccer hall of fame recently when ha
was selected to a second team berth on the 1956 All American
team.
t Torgeson, a 25-year-old armed forces veteran, was named
to an inside position. He is the third Lion hooter to be placed
on the mythical unit in the last
j three years.
Despite a foot injury which
plagued him throughout the cam
paign, Torgeson was one of the
men instrumental in the 8-2-1
record posted by the 1956 soccer
mer. He tallied 13 goals to tie
senior Tommy Nute and sopho
more Mike Stollmeyer for team
scoring honors
| Torgeson, who originally hailed
;from Norway but who now lives
|in New York, played his best
game of the year against Syra
cuse. He booted in four goals to
lead all scorers and was cited by
; Coach Ken Hosterman for his all
round play.
i The last Nittany hooter to win|
'All American honors was Dickj
, Packer. Packer was twice named
to a first team center halfback
position before he closed his
■career in 1955.
I The other All American choices
, since 1954 were Jack Pinezich,
, a first team selection in 1954, and
Paul Dierks, a second team pick
I the same year.
Eagles Draft
Nittany Center
I Dan Radakovich, outstanding
center and linebacker for the 1956
Lion football team, was picked
jon the 17th round of the National
Professional football draft by the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Radakovich is the second mem
ber of the ’56 eleven to be drafted.
Quarterback Milt Plum was sec
ond draft choice of the Cleveland
Browns and has already signed his
’57 contract.
Radakovich. 6-3, 190 pounds,
was instrumental in many of the
Lions’ victories and was men
tioned on many All-America
teams, besides starring in the
| Blue-Gray game last December.
He is expected to bolster the

weakened this past season by the
induction of star Bob Pellegrini
into the Army.
