Mentor Optimistic
For 1957 Soccermen
Soccer Coach Ken Hosterman, taking a preseason look at
his 1957 club, expressed an optimistic attitude concerning
the Lion outlook for the forthcoming schedule:
"Barring anything unforeseen, we should be a good ball
club this year," he said. "We're going to have to find a full
back, however."
As far as Hosterman is concerned, his two most serious
graduation losses were his aggres
sive captain from last year, Steve
Flamporis, a center half, and full
back Dave Davis.
"Those are my two key am
bitions to fill this fall," he said.
The loss of fullback Davis is
probably the most serious of the
two since Captain-elect Ralph
Brower is the only remaining ex
perienced performer there. Hos
terman must find a suitable full
back to work with Brower in or
der to have a strong defense. •
And, in his eyes, you can't
have a winning ball club unless
you have a strong defense. Right
now, Hosterman has no idea as to
whom he will use come opening
game.•
Other graduation losses include
center forward Torn Nute, who
finished in a three-way tie for the
team scoring title with 13 last
year, goalie John Lawerence, left
half Ward Hill and center for
