'Giant Killer'
Poses Threat
By SANDY PADWE
EN ROUTE TO CHAM
PAIGN, 111., With the Lions—
Johnny Easterbrook of Illi
nois is one of the smallest
quarterbacks in college foot
ball today, but his weekly
"giant killer" tactics have
earned him the respect of the
thole Midwest
Tomorrow, he'll shoot for the
respect of the East when Penn
State and Illinois square off in
an important . intersectional bat
tle at Champaign.
Easterbrook stands 5-8 and
only weighs 156 pounds, but Penn
State scout J. T. White labels him
"one of the most dangerous quar
terbacks we'll face this season."
"Easterbrook is very quick
and he's one of the best I've
seen on that outside belly se
ries. He's a good little passer,
too, and is a very dangerous
runner," White said.

Tough Terps Tomorrow
By JIM KARL
Lion soccer coach Ken Hos
terman sums up Maryland in
one word "tough" and
that may turn out to be the
understatement of the year.
The Terrapins have won the
Atlantic Coast soccer title for
seven consecutive years and to
morrow at College Park they
will be shooting for their third
straight win over Penn State.
Maryland upended the Lions,
4-1, in 1958 and then last year
they ran them

to 25 by win
ning, 4-0.
While Mary
land was mov
ing up the lad
der to its posi
tion as a nationa
power, the Lion
were slidin
down the othe
side.
State has skid
ded from it s Jay Stormer
throne as National Champ in 1955
to a 2-7 record last year, the
worst in Lion history.
Things haven't improved much
this year and the outlook for the
Maryland game isn't bright with
a few key players nursing in
juries.
Spunky right wing Glenn Ream
is still bothered by a sprained
ankle that he received when a
Syracuse player hit him from be
hind in State's solo win of the
year. The Lions have lost three.
"I'm not even taking Ream
along," Hosterman said yester
day. "I know that he wants to
play but I don't want him to go
at 'half strength."
Another Lion, goalie Jim Gott
schling, had some boils removed
from his arm yesterday and it's
not certain if he will make the
trip.
Hosterman said that Tony Mat
tei could fill in behind starter
Dave Grubbs if Gottschling's con
dition doesn't improve.
In another move, Hosterman
announced that he would defi-

nitely switch Ken Link from his
customary fullback position to
center-forward in an effort to in
crease Penn State's scoring
punch.
"Moving Link from fullback to
center-forward is like moving a
defensive tackle to offensive
quarterback," Hosterman said.
"Right now he's a little rough
and the position is still new to
him."
But regardless of his inexperi
ence, Hosterman feels that
Link's aggressiveness will add
some spark to the sluggish Lion
offense.
In four games this season State
has scored only six goals and
three of those came in the Lions'
win over Syracuse.
State has lost to West Chester,
5-0, Bucknell, 6-2, and Colgate,
5-1.
Hosterman will move Russ'
Naylor from his usual center-i
forward post to right wing in:
place of Ream. Captain Wayne!
Rodgers will move into Link'si
old fullback position.
Hosterman also is thinking of
moving Jay Stormer from right
halfback to left halfback and in-i
serting Carlos Astiz in Stormer's;
old spot.

Syracuse and West Virginia meet

Easterbrook was mentioned
on a few of the pre-season All-
American teams, but Illini full-
back Bill Brown was a near
unanimous choice.
Brown, the Illinois captain, is
regarded as an "old" school foot
ball player.

Clash With Army
Penn Stair's fresh footballers,
sunk 22-7 by the Navy plebes last
week, will try to get back in the
win column against Army today
at West Point.
Coach Earl Bruce's yearlings
will be seeking their second win
of the season. They edged West
Virginia, 21-20, in the season's
opener when quarterback Ho n
Coates connected late in the game
with flanker Gary Wydrnan for a
touchdown.
The Coates-Wydman combina
tion has clicked for three TD's
in two games. The Iwo combined
for another score in the Mountie
game and tallied the only TD
against Navy.
