THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE,-PENNSYLVANIA
Four Changes in Lineup
Lion Booters to Host
Syracuse at 10 Today
Syracuse University’s Orangemen will provide the opposition this morning as the
Nittany Lion soccer team shoots for its second victory in three outings. Game time is
set for 10 a.m. at Beaver Field.
Penn State soccer fans will see the Lion Coach Kenny Hosterman send
lineup into today’s game. Four main changes have been made since the Lions
a 7-1 conquest of BucknelJ two * * *
weeks ago
Most of the switches involve
the forward wall where Hoster
man has juggled three positions.
In the main forward line switch,
Hosterman’s wings—Loren Kline
and Pete Wadsworth moved to
opposite sides. Wadsworth will
operate at right wing and Kline
will be at the left flank.
Hosterman plans to start
sophomore Fran Manley at cen
ter forward. He takes over for
Julius Besoushko who was
moved to the alternate fullback
slot. Manley played inside on
last year's freshman squad, but
moved to center forward this
year at Hosterman's request.
“He’s helping the forward line
quite a bit.” said Hosterman.
“Fran .is very good at setting up
the insides and that is what we
need.”
The other big switch involves
the fullbacks. There, Hosterman
will start Wayne Rodgers in place
of Mike Ackley. Rodgers made
good on his bid for a starting
job when he turned in a strong
performance last week at West
Chester.
The rest of the Lioh team will
be the same as it was in the
home opener against Bucknell
two weeks ago. Mike Stollmeyer
and Bill Fiedler, Penn Slate's
leading scorers, will lineup at
the inside positions.
Fiedler leads the Nittanies in
scoring with four goals. With
seven games remaining he still
has a chance to break the all
time Penn State scoring record
of 25 goals set by Dick Packer in
“Too many boys," continued the
gentle department chief, “leads to
red shirting, and that’s something
I’m against. (Red shirting means

legiate competition for one year,

Syracuse will be seeking its
first victory over a Penn State
team coached by Hosterman.
Last year the Lions mauled the
Orangemen, 12-1.
Syracuse is reiving mainly on
sophomores this year. Syracuse
coach Pete Cataldi expects to start
four or five sophs. The Orange
offense, however, is built around
lettcrman Ted Koppel. Koppel
was one of the leading scorers on
last year’s Orange squad. He
scored the lone goal that Syracuse
tallied against the Lions last
year.
