Engle who is more of a master at brain-,
lly, feel that the 10-game slate carded for
as weak as my scholarly friend (and his
faithful followers) believe.
the Lions this fall isn'
NEBRASKA—OnI a fool would see the Huskies as a tough
opponent. However, n• team can be taken for granted, especially
the season's opener. (Remember last year's Penn game.) Nebras
ka has been the doormat of the Big Event Conference (better
known as Oklahoma and others) for the past several years, and
according to pre-season reports this year will be no different.
•PENN—This is rep4ted to be Coach Steve Sebo's best squad in
his five-year coaching I regime. They have 21 of 32 lettermen re
turning, including a couple 'speed merchants, Fred Doelling and
Jack-Hanlon, and enough linemen to form two teams. All the Quak
ers need is a quarterback - to lead the attack. An Ivy -League crown
(their first in a long tiine) could be reaped if they find that QB.
ARMY—Who needs to say more? The Cadets have the best
halfback tandem in the nation in all-American Bob Anderson
and captain Pete Dawkins. And fullback Harry Walters is no
slouch, either. They need a quarterback too, but Joe Caldwell
is probibly the answer to that problem. Their line is supposed
to be undermanned, but we doubt that. Army, Just like its counter
part at Annapolis, almost always comes up :with a winner. '
MARQUETTE—Last , year, we beat winless - Marquette, 20-0. It
was a moral victory for the Warriors, who outplayed us for part of
the game. Coach John Druze, an old protege 'pf,Frank Leahy, has
26 veterans back including 10 starters, plus a best of promising
Sophomores. All of which should make foi an interesting Home
coming attraction.
BOSTON UNIVERSITY—This is Mrs toughest schedule in 11
years according to reports. (Navy, Syracuse, West Virginia and
Holy Cross are included.) Coach Steve Sink*, also has a host of
veterans, including the starting backfield which ranked tenth
nationally 'in scoring. They are two deep in lettermen at every
position but tackla and are three deep at fullback, right end and
center.
SYRACUSE—Coach Ben Schwartzwalder is looking for some
linemen to replace the four regulars that graduated. If he finds
them, the Orange could cause more trouble than expected. (Right
now, most pre-season pickers rank them one step behind the Lions
in the East). They have the -backfield, headed by Chuck Zimmer
man-=one of the nation's most underrated signal callers. Zimmer
man - completed 55 per cent of his passes for 770 yards and five
touchdowns last year. It looks like a typical State-Syracuse clash.
FURMAN—Here again is a weak sister of a weak conference—
the West Virginia-dominated Southern. But a new coach (Bob
King), nine returning regulars and the freshman eligibility rule
(which gives schools the size of Furman the privilege of using
freshmen) could make the Hurricanes the surprise team of the
conference.
WEST VIRGINIA—This is reputed to be one of Pappy Lewis'
strongest Mountaineer teams—especially in the backfield where
seven of ten veterans return including quarterback Dick Longfellow
and scatback Ray Peterson. And 260-pound Blaine Statz is touted
as all-American timber. All this spells trouble ih Morgantown.
HOLY CROSS—Undoubtedly. the Crusader's are the dark
horses of the East. Twenty-three lettermen return. including two
all-American candidates—quarterback Tom Greene and guard Jim
Healy. Greene was an all-East selection last, fall and was second
in the nation in total offense (for nine games). His five favorite
receivers are also back. Mix all this with a third straight unbeaten
freshman team and the final game in the history of the present
Beaver Field should be a doozie.
PITT—Does Coach John Michelosen have Rip Engle's number?
(Two losses and a tie is,,_all the Lion mentor has to show.) The top
fonr ground gainers of '57 are back along with a highly-touted
sophomore fullback—Jim Cunningham. Maybe a Cotton or Gator
Bowl bid will go to the winner of this Thanksgiving Day shoot.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN; STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Hosterman Sees 'Rough Year'
With Loss of 3 Key Booters
Soccer practice doesn't start
for a week yet, but already Coach
Ken Hosterman has troubles.
"I think it's going to be a
rough year," the 33-year-old tu
tor said a couple of days ago.
II know I have 8 veterans back,
but I have three key positions
that must be filled—goalie, cen
ter forward and outside."
Hosterman, who in a five-year
coaching tenure has always been
an optimist
,of sort, went on to
relate his current problems.
"I guess Ralph Becker (last
year's number one goal-keeper)
won't be back. We'll sure miss
h'im, although we have two let
termen back— Don Dougald
and Gerry Bruce. But Ralph
will be hard to replace. You
know, he had that real canny
ability of anticipation. That is,
anticipating when to come out
of that net and stop a shot.
"Either Dougald or Bruce could
solve my problem there. Both
have the potential to be a star
goalie. Dougald was outstanding
in his sophomore year (in 1956)
and I thought I had an outstand
ing goalie for the next two years.
"But he fell of last season, part
ly because of that broken finger.
If he can regain his sophomore
form, then there will be no prob
lem at goalie."
Hosterman's headache at cen
, ter forward is finding a replace
' ment for last year's starter Bill
Fielder who will be switched to
an inside slot this fall.
Spring Sports

released the names of the mana
gers for the following spring

McTurk.
Gerry Carlson will be the head
manager of the tennis squad.
Roger Dreeben, Stan Foster and
Richard White will serve as first
assistants.
The track team has not an
nounced a head manager as yet,
but it released the names of the
firsts—Theodore Lempert, Char
les Schweitzer and Joel Daniels.

"Fiedler moves better at in
side," Hosterman said of his
junior all-American candidate,
"and he'll have more oppor
tunity to score there. (Fiedler
scored 20 goals in 1957).
"Of course, that leaves my cen
ter forward spot open, and I have
no idea who I'll use there. I could
put Ihor (Chyzowych) there but
I think he'll be more valuable at
fullback.
State Beat Nebraska
In Last Meeting, 10-0

"I'm hoping someone comes up
from Ogontz Center," Hosterman
continued, "like the last two
years when I got Herb Hertner
(a two-year veteran) and Thor.
Otherwise, I don't know what I'll
do."
At the outside, it's a case of
finding a wingman to go along
with veteran Pete Wadsworth.
Wadsworth played at both the
wing and inside spots as a re
serve last year. But Hoster
man figures Wadsworth's speed
will make him a full time term
inal in 1958.
"I have hopes that Lou Van-
Fafelghem will return," Hoster
man said. Vanßafelghem was an
outside starter as a sophomore
last season, but he may not re
turn to school this semester.
"If be doesn't come back," Hos
terman added, 'l'll be counting
on material from Ogontz, again.
Of course, there may be a soph
omore or junior from_last year's
team that I've overlooked. I'll
know better when practice
starts."
