(/F) Danny Lanphear, University of Wisconsin's hard-crashing tackle rebounding from an injury wrecked junior season, was named the Associated Press line man of the week yesterday. The strapping son of a former Wisconsin lineman was voted the coveted award in a poll of sportswriters and broadcasters for his magnificent performance fast Saturday in leading the Badgers to a 12-3 victory over Ohio State. When informed of his selec tion, Lanphear insisted there was a "lot of luck" to his great play, but called the game pos sibly "the biggest thrill I've ever had." "It's not very often a lineman has a day like that," the 6-3, 200- pounder . said. "A few spectacular plays can make a big difference." Lanphear blocked a punt for a safety in the opening minutes, re covered two fumbles, one halting an OSU drive, and jarred the 'ball loose from a runner with a vi cious tackle, enabling Wisconsin to recover the bobble on its own three. "He played a magnificent game and deserved the APCI Honor," said Coach Milt Bruhn. "We're all mighty proud of him." After a fine sophomore season, Lanphear was hobbled most of the 1958 campaign because of an an kle injury. Probably the proudest man - on the campus is George Lanphear, who played football for the Badg ers a quarter century ago.

Catherman's BARBER SHOP basement of The Corner Room Daily 8.5:30 Sat. 8-12 Bootees 16-Season Streak Threatened The way things are going now, Penn State's soccer team is headed for its second losing season in 40 years and their first since 1943. The Lions are now 1-4 for the year with four games remaining. This means that Ken Hosterman's boaters must win all of their remaining games if they hope to end up on the credit side of the ledger. The meat of the Lion sched ule lies ahead. This Saturday they meet Navy at home, next Saturday the opposition will be furnished by unbeaten Tem ple. November 14, they travel to West Point for a date with the Army, and a Nov. 21 en gagement with Pitt at Univer sity Park will end the '59 cam paign. Soccer fans who were accus tomed to winning teams at State are beginning to wonder just what's wrong with the '59 Nit tany Lion booters. Under the tutelage of coach Hosterman, the Nittanies cap tured national titles in 1954 and 1955. In '56 and '57 they enjoyed good seasons, but last year the booters slumped to a 5-4 record. "We are still playing like 11 individuals out on the field," coach Hosterman explained. "Individually we have some good men out there, but they still have not jelled. "There isn't a day that goes by when I have all 11 starters at practice. First it was registra tion that hurt us, now it is this early darkness. "Another important factor to remember is that in the last two lyears we have been hampered by injuries to key men. Why, in the last two years our regular elected Fresh Booters Seek 2nd Win The Penn State freshman soc-1 cer team will travel to Lock Havenl State Teachers College today in an attempt to record victory number two of the '59 season. Ron Black's soccermen have a, record of one win and three losses thus far. The Nittany Cubs have bowed to Navy, 1-0, Bucknell,, 4-3, and Frostburg Academy, 4-1. Their one victory was over this, same Lock Haven team in an' early meeting at University Park,' 5-0. Coach Black's booters will be at full strength for the first time today. Certain eligibility rules kept some members of the team from playing in the earlier games. The Lion Cubs are led by cen ter forward Russ Naylor and wingman Eddie Hinojosa. Both Naylor and Hinojosa have netted four goals thus far. In regard to the Lock Haven team, coach Black had this to say: "When Lock Haven played us earlier, it was their first game. We scored all five of our goals in the first half. The second half was a stalemate. They will be in better shape this time around."

By CRAIG YERKES KEN HOSTERMAN . trouble ahead captain has been lost for the sea son." Lack of depth has hurt the Nittanies this year as players have transferred, quit the game, or been ineligible. This year's captain-elect, iedle r. could have been the spark that the Lions need so desperately. Fiedler netted 20 goals as a sophomore in 1957 and then tabbed 12 last year. Another big factor in the dis appointing showing of the Lions this year is their poor shooting average. Although they manage I to get off as many shots as their opponents, the Lions do not make nearly as many as they should. Last year the Lions managed to average four goals per game. This year the booters have netted only nine goals in five games for a 1.8 average. itior dKv V • A. ••, • \\`' :1;:x..4144.u.k: • + •,;441/10, 4 tr f s7-gzif . .
