Five seniors, including captain Joe Sabot, have been invited
to all-star games during the Christmas reprieve. Sabol will be
with Coach Duif Daugherty's North team at Miami on Christmas
Day along with end Jack Farls. Coach Rip Engle will take all-
American end candidate Les Welters and fullback Babe Caprara
along with him to San Francisco to the Shriners' East-West game . #
Dec. 28. Engle is the head coach of that extravaganza. And "the I (P
best second team end in the nation"—Paul North—will wear the

PENN STATE SOCCER OUTSTANDING coaches Saturday, elevating Engle
Let's give a little recognition to that "forgotten” fall sport of & 9°* *° , a irst plsce tie with
the Mount Nittany campus-soccer. The Lion hooters wound up ap^s < fa°S^ e P S2!i
season at Beaver Field las* Saturday with a rousing 10-1 conquest, „ a grouPi the Mache3:
over Pitt and in the process broke a season scoring record with hit on ten games while Vince, who:
56 goals. : differed from the coaches on only
'.wo games, registered an eight
leven card. The co-leaders have
i 8 right, 57 wrong, and a .578 per-
Th» victory was lha 226th in 49 yean of toccer against 38
losses and 43 ties. That's a winning percentage of .736. Only wrest
ling can match that mark.
In those 307 games played, the Blue and White has scored 1101
points (3.6 game average) to opponents’ 286 (.9 game average).
Coach Ken Hosier-man's personal record in his five year term
is a gaudy 38-5-2 for .884 winning percentage (we disregarded the
two deadlocks). No team has been able to defeat a Hosterman club
twice although Navy and West Chester both own a win and a tie
over a Hosterman-coached outfit.
ODDS AND ENDS—
Frank Carver, Pitt’s Graduate Manager-of Athletics, will prob-,
ably go into the prognostication business any day now. Carver has.
made only three predictions on football games this season and all.
three were correct. He gave underdog Georgia Tech the nod over
Duke (the Engineers won, 13-7); underdog Notre Dame the choice'
over Oklahoma (the Irish won. 7-0); and picked favored Pitt over
Penn Slate (need I say more?).
Joe. my favorite barber, thinks Chuck Ruslavage will be Penn
State's grid captain for 1958 ... he also sees the venerable
Ruslavage (who hails from the coal region, no less) as an All-
American candidate next fall . . . You could be right Joe . . . but
Dave Kasperian. A 1 Jacks and Steve Garban are other possibilities
tor captain . ..
Joe also has a hunch that Andy Moconvi will be switched from
halfback to end by Engle next season . . . says Joe: ‘‘Moconyi is a
good runner, a fine pass receiver and a good defensive halfback.
He’ll probably take Les Walters’ position next season” . . . boy Joe.
you sure like to make those long shots ...
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE DEPARTMENT—What will Penn
State do next year with four quarterbacks—Al Jacks, Richie Lucas,
iDick Hoak and Don Jonas and???? halfbacks Dave Kasperian,
.Andy Moconyi. Eddie Cave, Pat Bo tula. Bruce Gilmore, Lou Luce,
■ Jim Kerr, Pat Funair, etc.? . . . get out the red shirts.
i The Sportseer says: Don’t be surprised if Jack Farls is a high
draft choice of the Washington Redskins or Green Bay Packers.
