NOVEMBER 26. 1957 14-13 Booters Set New Record Bn 104 Win By LOU PRATO Even Sputnik couldn’t have affected John Foster Dulles the way Penn State’s soccer team af fected Pitt Saturday morning at; Beaver Field. The game was billed as a ‘‘near tossup” in pre game write-ups but the Lion socr cermen must have tossed their reading glasses aside. ‘ Coach Ken Hostefman's men humiliated the Panthers in taking a 10-1 decision and in doing so set a new team season scoring ; record. Those 10 goals, add-cd with :the 46 racked up in nine previous ; exhibitions, broke the old scor ing mark of 46 set by Hosterman’s ; unbeaten 1955 co-national cham pions. It was the final game of the ,year for the Lion booters and left ;them with a 8-1-1 slate. Only a .5-1 loss to undefeated West Ches ter and a 2-2 stalemate with i “luckless” Navy spoiled Penn iState’s record. Saturday’s tilt was supposed 'to be a battle of defensive maneu ver between two “outstanding” goalies. (At least, that’s what the papers had said.) But somebody forgot to tell Pitt’s goal tender, Ron Goga. about Penn State's of , Tensive prowess. Up until Saturday's fiasco, Go ea had given up only six goals in nine scrapes—an average of .66 per game. But his average skyrocketed to outerspace in the face of the vaunted Lion attack. Sophomore Billy Fiedler—tout ed in pre-game notices as “the key to the Lion offense,” proved just that as he led the Lions in scoring with four goals, lifting his final team-leading total to 20. It was the third time this year he had tallied three or more goals in one game. All-American Per Torgerson al so turned the “hat trick” (three goals in one game) with three scores. Dave Haase. Pete Wads worth and Ralph Brower (sur prise) had one goal each. It was the Lions’ game from the opening whistle. Within four minutes of the first stanza. Penn i State had a 3-0 lead and they were never headed. Torgerson tallied the first on a ,20-yard shot from the right of I the nets at the 2:30 mark. Forty five seconds later, Fiedler re corded his first goal -and 45-min ‘ (Continued on page ten) Topcoats W. College Ave.
