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.

lost." 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.

lowed suit some sir minutes later
with a 3-yard end sweep. 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.

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.
Caprara kicked the conversion.
,But, then came the touchdown
torrent . . . the fans know the
'outcome.

THE LION GRIDDERS PLAYED A SPIRITED GAME
"The team is as spirited as last year's team." 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.
