That is, if co

ch Ken Hosterman's estimation of his 1957
roves correct.
Depth was as
soccer combo but
absent as Dick Packer on Hosterman's 1956
he Lion tutor
1 situation will
feels that no such
exist this fall.
"We really- lack • the depth
last year," Hosterman says.
"There were sometimes when I
could have used a few good-sub
stitutes. At least they would - have
kept the first team, boys on their
toes. They (the regulars) would
have had to hustle or lose their
jobs_
"But I don't think I'll have
any problem like that this year.
I have so many men of equal
ability that I'll. be able to sub
stitute freely without losing
any power."
It is the taler.ted group of soph-;
omore aspirants that are expected
to provide the greatest depth.
"I have a lot of good sopho
more material from which I will
draw," Hosterman said. "They are,
eager, ambitious, talented, and
they have a strong desire to make
the team. •
"I'd say (as a group) they look
comparable to the, .sophomores of
1953. That outfit ' included Dick
Packer, Dick Matacia, Ihor Stet
nyk, George Geezy and Bob Lit
tle."
liokterman failed to mention
that as juniors and seniors
these men helped the Lions rule
the collegiate soccer world with
an iron hand. They captured
Iwo National championships
and posted unbeaten records
both years.
Among Hosterman's sophomore
fledglings for 1957 is the starting
array of last year's unbeaten
frosh crew.
They rapped Frostburg Teach
ers, 2-0, and blasted the Navy
plebes, 4-0.
Center forward Bill Fiedler
heads that list of frosh regulars.
Fiedler, a Philadelphia native,
bagged five of those six goals
recorded last year.
The other veterans include full
backs Jiin Knipe and Bob Stern
er; halfbacks Fred Kochey, Gary
Miller, and Wayne Rodgers; in
sidemen Pete Wadsworth and Lou
Vanßefelghem; wingmen Jim
Hockenbrock and John Smith;
and goalie Ralph Becker.
- Three sophomores who saw
reserve action with the fresh
men last season have also re
turned. They are Mike Kush.
Warren Kline and Eddie Ban
kowski.
Commenting on the sophomore
prospects Hosterman said, "I have,
to find out this week where they,
as individuals; are going to fit in.
Some need more polish than
others but if thek meet my ex
pectations, we'llave plenty of
depth this year."

Harrier Kerr
Rated High
By Werner
Cross-country captain Fred Kerr
is rated by varsity coach Chick
Werner as one of the finest lead
ers to head the Lion harriers in
many years.
Kerr is the first junior to cap
tain the squad since Bob Parsons
lead the Lions in 1949.
"He goes out of his way to help
the others on the squad and to
build team spirit," Werner said
"Often he sacrifices his own prac
tice to run back and encourage)
the other freshman and varsity
runners."
Werner rates
R. h
.err as the
team's most de-
pendable runner.
"While the other
members of the
team had lapses
in their running,
Fred has been
a cons isten t 1 y
strong
for the Lion har-
riers."
Kerr was only
beaten once in a
dual meet last
fall—a second place behind cap
tain Don Woodrow against Pitts
burgh.
He finished 13th in the IC4-A
meet and 23rd in the NCAA meet
last fall.
Kerr made a remarkable ree-I
: in the state high school track;
championships while running for
West York High School. He fin
ished second in the half-mile and
mile in his freshman and soph
omore
years and finished first ink
both events as a junior and senior.
He eclipsed the old state mark,
with a 4:22.4 in the mile and
missed breaking the half-mile
mark by only two-tenths of a sec
ond in his setzior year.
Kerr foresees a bright season
fo: the LionS, but emphasizes that
there is a sharp drop-off.in ability
after Ed Moranli Clem Schoene
beck, Chuck King, Dick Engel
brink and himself.
"Several of the other members
of the team have shown sparks
of promise but the field is still
wide open for the other berths on
the team," Kerr said in comment
ing on the team's depth.
Named Barrel Man
Penn State's all-America foot
ball player, Sam Valentine, has
been singled out by his class
mates for special distinction. The
Dußois senior was named Barrel
Man in recognition of his out
standing leadership and scholar
ship.

MATT-er-auFACT
POLITICS AND SPORTS-
Yesterday, Dr. Fred Cole, acting president of Tulane, and
Lieutenant General Garrison H. Davidson, superintendent of the
U.S. Military Academy at West Point, announced that the Army-
Tulane football game will be played at West Point because of
"Louisiana segregation laws"
This change in location of the game from the Sugar Bowl
in New Orleans to filichie Stadium occurred because of numerous
condemning editorials by the nations' leading sports writers and a
duty-minded politician from Pittsburgh, Representative James G.
Fulton.
The three most outstanding issues in the debate were:
• 1. The Army, a supposedly representative agency of the U.S.
government and its people, had consented to play a segregated ath
letic contest within the bounds of the U.S.
• 2. That the Army, according to its own thinking, could not
cancel the game in view of its already having signed a contract.
• 3. Thdt the Army, because of its position as an "arm" of the
government, would set back desegregation another decade—par
ticularly in sports.
Against these odds, the Army stood its ground just like its
mascot—a mule. It was pointed out that other major universities.
such as Notre Dame, had refused to compete in Southern basketball
tournaments during the past year and had broken their contracts.
Still the Academy officials attempted to defend their burning ivory
tower.
Here were sane, educated men (military), who were so far
sighted that they put their personal record of not breaking paper
contracts ahead of an important segregation issue during a time of
national desegregation in the sports field.
Fulton sidestepped this blocade and, after reviewing the facts,
went directly to the President. To the press, he said:
"I cannot understand why the Army has not previously adopted
this policy (of refusing to compete in segregated athletics) when the
United States Air Force Academy already has adopted it. It (the
situation) may wake the Army up yet." It did, temporarily.
It seems that this summer a certain Mr. Lou Bell. the University
director of public relations, was in Washington*, D.C. on a business
trip where he encountered a perplexing situation.
Lou was assigned to 804 in an unnamed hotel, and during his
short stay he met with one unusual incident after another.
The first occurred just after he had eaten dinner and returned
to his room alone. The head waiter called and asked what type
of salad he would like with his FOUR dinners. Mr. Bell explained
that he had just eaten and refused to accept the dinners after
which the chef hung up in disgust.
. Later, Lou was accosted by a bellboy "with the boxes of cigars.
you ordered, Mr. Bell." Lou is no cigar-smoker and promptly re
fused the bellboy amid a few hostile glances. Other instances fol
lowed such as unordered cocktails and papers from New York and
Philly, which the well-read publicist also had not ordered.
' Upon checking out, Lou asked for his hotel bill—this turned out
to be the biggest farce of all, To Lou, it appeared as big as the Uni
versity budget. After a half hour of debate with a suspicious as
sistant hotel manager, the mystery was solved. -
Mr. Lou Bell had occupied Room 804. In 804 was Mr. Bert Bell.
the commissioner of the National Football League. Lou is safely
back at the University where the only inixup in Bells occur in the
clock tower id Old Main.
