All three will be missing from' the Lions' starting lineup this' week, but Paolone and Bozick are expected to see some action. Both have been running through, light drills this week. Bohart i hasn't worked out yet this week, but according to Coach Rip En gle "he may be ready" by Sat urday. However, the injured trio's) probable replacements could al-' so be classified as "regulars" since each has started at least one game this year.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA The Sportseer , Lions Disheartened ,410 N . -I' 46 . I by byOwn Mistakes A i , i Talk in the Penn State locker room Saturday afternoon following the Lions' disappointing 14-14 deadlock with rival West Virginia centered around two subjects—fumbles and penalties. They were only natural fumbling and penalties whi Nittanies lost the ball six times on hobbles and NVere penalized for 85 yards, including one dis- asterous 15-yard holding penalty which cost sophomore Dick Hoak, an 80-yard. TD run. "I can't understand why we ally fumbled," said halfback Dave Kasperian, who experienced one ' of his most heartbreaking clays , as a ball carrier. Kasperian fum bled twice against the Mounties' and both miscues came inside the' West Virginia 5-yard line. "I didn't have a good hold on the ball the first time I fumbled (on the one-yard line)," Kasperian said. "And the sec ond time. the ball hit me on the chest. The hole was there and I could have gone over but I dropped it. "I can't understand it," the 26- year-old ex-paratrooper said, "we pushed them all over the field and still we couldn't win." Bucky Paolone, who was also the victim of two , fumbles, felt as disheartened as Kaspei ian. "That was the worst game I shave ever played in my life," Paolone said. "I was tense from ithe start and I don't know why. iMaybe the tenseness had some ithing to do with my fumbling. I (don't know what's wrong with me. Up until the Syracuse game I couldn't remember the last time I had fumbled. Now, I've dropped the ball four times in the last three games. ' Someone wondered if the change in footballs accounted for the fumbling, The Lions had used a Spalding-made pigskin in its first seven games, but a Wilson-made football was used Saturday. "I think it was a little slippery. Lax Club Will Meet There will be an importari meeting of the Lacrosse club at 7:30 p.m. tonight, at Phi Kappa Sigma. All members are urged to attend. Bozick By Lou Prato— Sports Editor opics since it was the Lions h cost them a victory. The but not that much," first team quarterback Richie Lucas said. "We had been practicing all week with that type of ball so we should have been used to it. Besides, if you can't play with another type of ball, then, you're not really a football player." "That's right," echoed alternate ,quarterback Al Jacks, who was standing nearby. "I can't under ', stand what happened. If one guy had fumbled, it would be dif ferent. But when everyone f urn hies . what can you do? I don't remember them ever stopping us except when we stopped our selves on a fumble." Captain Steve Garban offered a comment on the Lion penal ties. "I never had a penalty called, on me in my life before today," said the NiWay center. "And I had 30 yards called against me today. I was the one who was caught for hold ing on Dick Hoak's long run— and to be truthful, I'm not sure whether I was holding or not. I sure feel bad about it though." Movies of the game show Gar ban's "holding" penalty could have been called either way by} the officials. "That was one of, those calls that could be made, on almost every play," backfield coach Joe Paterno said. "It was' so close. But I guess that goes along with the rest of the bad breaks we've been having." Garban also-had another com ment on the game—perhaps the most significant of all. "It's disgusting," the die-hard captain said. "After a game we think we were 2 or 3 touchdowns better than the other team, but we never seem to win. We sure have been a hard luck team." Lions Break 'Road Jinx' As Miller, Fiedler Star Being that Owls are primarily night birds, maybe Temple University should play its soccer games at night. For yester day the Owls played an afternoon home game against the Penn State soccer team and lost, 8-2. By winning, the Lions snapped a three-game road losing streak. * * Gary Miller, playing his first game at center forward this sea son, led the Lion offense as it broke a 2-2 game wide open with six goats in the last quarter. Miller scored one goal and had four assists in the fourth quarter rally. "Gary really played a swell game," said Lion coach Kenny Hosterman. "His passing and playmaking were a deciding fac tor in the outcome of the game." Miller's passing wasn't ;the only important factor in the Lion win. So were the three goals scored by inside right Bill Fiedler. It was Fiedler who broke the scoring deadlock when he notched his eighth goal of the season with six- min utes gone in the fourth stanza. This started 'the Lions on a goal parade that didn't stop un til the 17 minute mark. The Nittanies sandwiched five other goals in the eleven minute span. After Fiedler's goal, Pete Wadsworth tallied at 11:15. Fied ler scored again at 13:20 and Gary Miller tallied again a minute later. Fiedler netted his third goal at 16:30 and Pete Wadsworth finished the Owls with his second score a minute later. , Fiedler now leads the Lions in the goal department with ten ,while Gary Miller. Pete Wads 'worth and Mike Stollmeyer are tied for second with four goals apiece. 'The first half was a com pletely different story. It was close all the way with the Lions leading, 2-1 at halftime. Miller and Mike Stollmeyer scored Penn States only goals in the first half. Inside right Billy Charlton, who Hosterman rated as Temple's top performer, stored the Owl's first period goal. Skippy Kel logg's third period goal was the only other Temple tally. As soon as the second half started, the Lions took control of the ball. They took 23 ,hots in the third period but couldn't score. As fate would have it, Tem ple got hold of the ball for just a short time and they managed to tie the game. But then came the Lions big fourth quarter. According to Hosterman. all his changes turned out for the good. "Miller scored two goals and had tour assists, Howie Maierhofer turned in a solid i performance after missing the first six games because of a broken ankle and Larry Fegley WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12. 1958 By SANDY PADWE .. .t < Pete Wadsworth turned in a topnotch gains in his first start in our goal." The booters now have a 4-3 rec ord. All three losses came when they played at West Chester, Maryland and Navy. The Lions have beaten Colgate, Bucknell, Syracuse and now the Owls. Only two games remain on the Lion schedule. Saturday morn ing they play Army at Beaver Field and on Nov. 22 they travel to Pitt to meet the Panthers.
