However, n-sre power never
before seen by Pitt fins cars r.g

from a helpless kitten to a roar

touchdowns within four minutes.
Here's how the Pill scoring
drives went:

started on their own 23 and rolled
to a first down on their 42 when

lhe Lions still led. 13-7.
Then came the first real indi

Pitt allowed the Lions onlv four

Four plays later, all running

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
