TUESDAY. OCTOBER 8. 1957 Lion Rooters Win 24; Defeat Maryland, 2-1 Soccer Coach Ken Hoster man wasn't kidding last week when he said he expected the Maryland game to be a "rough, tough affair." It' was exactly that and more. Scoring a 2-1 victory before 500 fans at Beaver Field, the contest saw many Lion hooters walk off the field with more than their share of bruises.• The major casualty was the Nittanies' sophomore wingman Lou Vanßafelghena, who was the victim of a Maryland play er's "wild fool" in the waning moments of the game. Vanßaf elghem was removed to the lo cal infirmary via an ambulance but x-rays later showed no sign of broken bones in his ankle. "I would have sure hated to lose that one." Hosterman com mented, "after all we went through. There's no doubt that we outplayed them. We outshot them 37-12 and had nine corner kicks to their three. "Their goalie was the big 1 dif ference," Hosterman added. "He played the ball nice, covered upi nice, and was pretty quick." The goal tender was Jim Sims,! one of four veterans on the Terp crew who received consideration! for all-America last season.

Hosterman said. referring to the pregame pessimism of fered by Maryland, "but they must have been scrubs. They were better this year than last." Commenting on his own team. Hosterman said, "The defense did a g rand job. Arid wasn't Howie (Maierhoferl tremendous a g a i n. But I hate to single out any indi vidual. They all did a good job. I was also pleased with Pete Wadsworth's worts" Wadsworth, a sophomore re serve, entered the game at the half with the Lions on the lower end of a 1-0 score. Three minutes later, the inside forward grabbed; a loose ball from 10 yards in front of the net and booted it past Sims for the score. That tied the score and pro vided the "oomph" necessary for the victory. Three minutes and 15 seconds later, another sophomore, Bill Fiedler, tallied the second and final goal on a spectacular play involving the passing of Gary Miller, Dave Haase and Per Torgeson. Maryland's score came with 50 seconds left in the second stanza; .on a 25 foot kick by sub Asad ,Shukry. It was a desperate boot ;which just missed the out stretched hands of goalie Jerry Bruce.

And fullback Harry Walters climaxed ithe machine-like offensive thrust with a 2-yard scoring plunge at 13:55. All three extra point con versions were good. NMII Before that clinching third quarter, the Lions baffled the Cadets on even terms, for the most part. in the first half. Taking the opening kickoff, they moved 57 yards in 15 plays for a score Dave Kasperian going over on a 2-yard sweep. Fullback Babe Caprara's extra point attempt was partially blocked. After an exchange of the ball, Army tied.the score as halfback Bob Anderson went five yards into the end zone on a fourth down dive play. Tackle Maurice Hilliard's conversion attempt was wide. The Lions' final score came on a pretty 18-yard pass play from Jacks to end Les Walters who .was all alone in the end zone.

The speaker, was Penn State Coach Rip Engle and the setting was the Lion 10-.:ker 'room shortly after the final gun of the Army-Penn State grid thriller Saturday afternoon at Beaver Field. For a coach to say this after walking off the field a 27-13 loser may seem a bit surprising to many fans. But, after watching his "kids" in action against the Army football machine. we'd have to go along with the Ripper . .. the Lions were a beaten but a spirited eleven against Army Saturday. No, we're not alibying for the defeat. Army scored a sound victory over Penn State and that's all there was to it. Well be the first to admit it—even though we honestly felt in the pregame prognosticating that the Lions were going to be the victor. But. an Army third quarter—and it was all Army's—proved us wrong. However, that doesn't stop us from praising the Lions for their ;effort. As a team. the Lions fought as hard as they could to match 'the powerful Cadet contingent. They have nothing to be ashamed of in defeat because they went down the way all losers should—as fighters. As Engle put it: "They stood and battled." For individual efforts, we'd have to lean to the tremendous passing display by quarterback Al Jacks. Jacks completed 17 of 32 passes to tie the Penn State record for completions set by Tony Rados against Purdue in 1952. He had one 20-yard completion—on a brilliant catch by Paul North—called back because of an offside penalty against the Lions. He certainly sparkled in defeat. And then there was North. If anyone gave a 100 per cent effort Saturday, he was the boy. On offense or defense. he played his heart out—and did a darn good job at it. The catch he made• on that called-back completion was one seldom seen during the course of a normal game—but, of course, this was no normal game. Fullback Babe Caprara again played an outstanding game. Any .way you call it, he was tough—he blocked accurately, he ran hard, he played his defense creditably, he caught the passes thrown to him to pick up vital yardage and his faking was once more at its effective best. He's a determined player who gives his all at all times—and even more when necessary. These weren't the only players to shine in defeat for the Lions. ;But, they're the ones we especially noticed. Many should come in for plaudits from the fans. Even though they lost, they certainly didn't quit. And while we're at it, we must congratulate the fans for their backing at the game. Even at the end, the players knew the student body was. behind them. Keep up the good work—the season is just starting.
