Soccermen's
Critics Mum
in 2nd Half
By CRAIG YERKES
The final score in the Penn
State hooters' 4-1 loss to
powerful West Chester last
Saturday tells only half the
story of the game.
In the first half State managed
only two shots at the West Ches
ter goal, while the Rams were
pounding 22 at the State nets.
And the 3-0 lead the Rams held
et halftime didn't begin to in
dicate how one-sided the contest
really was.
The second half, however.
was an entirely different story.
A fired-up State team came out
for the second half and proceed•
ed to push last year's third
ranked NCAA team all over the
field.
The Lions scored only once, but
had some near misses and out
shot the Rams 14-4 to dominate
the action,
"We found ourselves in that
second half," State coach Ken
Hosterman said yesterday as he
watched his boaters prepare for
Saturday's game against Colgate.
"We used eight untried men
against one of the nation's
toughest teams. and they were
virtually lost in the first half,"
the veteran coach said. "Our
lettermen were no more sure
of themselves than the others.
and as a result we floundered
around in a daze.
"The crowd deserved a lot of;
credit for sticking around after'
that poor exhibition in the first
half," Hosterman added. "We'
gave the fans nothing worthy of
support, but still I was angered:
by sonic of the gripes I heard
behind our bench.
"The gripes were legitimate, but
what really bothered me was the
fact that I knew we had a much
better team than we were show
ing. 7
Hosferman gave the Lions a
solid balling out in the center
of the field at halftime. "I rare
ly do this," he said, "but I fig
tired it was needed at the lime.
I just told them to stop making
West Chester look good and
start making us look good."
That's exactly what the Lions
did. They outhustled the surprised
Rams, outshot them, and even
outtalked them.
In fact, it was a very quiet West
Chester eleven that left the field
when the game ended, very quiet
and very glad that State had
waited for the second half to dis
cover that it could play soccer.

I suppose October 12 is just another day to you. You get up in
the ordinary way and do all the ordinary things you ordinarily
do. You have your breakfast, you walk your ocelot, you go to
classes, you write home for money, you burn the dean in effigy,
you watch fowdy-Doody, and you go to hat. And do , you give
one little thought to the fact that October 12 is Columbus
Day? No, you do not.
Nobody thinks about Columbus these days. Let us, there
fore, pause for a moment and retell his ever-glorious, endlemly
stirring saga.
ttAiter.Vs)
Christopher Columbus was horn in GRIM. on August 25, 1451.
Ills father, Ralph 'l'. Columbus, was in the three-minute auto
wash game. Ills mother, Eleanor (Swifts) Columbus, was a
sprinter.. Christopher was an only child, except for his four
brothers and eight sisters. With his father busy all day at the
auto wash and his mother constantly away at track meets,
young Columbus was left pretty much to his own devices.
However, the lad did not sulk or brood. He was an avid reader
and spent all his waking hours immersed in a book. Unfortu
nately, there was only one book in Genoa at the time—Core/of
the Horse by Aristotle—and after several years of reading ('ore
of the Horse, Columbus grew restless. So when rumor reached
him that, there was another hook in Barcelona, off he ran as
fast as his fat little legs would carry him.
The rumor, alas, proved false. The only book in Barcelona
was Cuidar un Cohalto by Aristotle, which proved to be nothing
more than a Spanish translation, of Care of the Horse.
Bitterly disappointed, Columbus began to dream of going
to India where, according to legend, there were thousands of
books. But the only way to go to India was on horseback, and
after so many years of reading ('ore of the Horse, Columbus
never wanted to clap eyes on a horse again. Thwt a new thought
struck him: perhaps it was possible to get to India by sea!
Fired with his revolutionary new idea, ColumbuS raced to
the court. of Ferdinand and Isabella on his little fat. legs (Colum
bus, though six feet tall, was plagued with little fat legs all his
life) and pleaded his case with such fervor that the rulers were
persuade j.
On October 12, 1492, Columbus set foot on the New World.
The following year he returned to Spain with a cargo of wonders
never before seen in Europe—spices and metals and plants and
flowers and—most wondrous of all—tobacco! Oh, what a sensa
tion tobacco caused in Europe! The filter had long since been
invented (by Aristotle, curiously enough) but nobody knew
what to do with it.. Now Columbus, the Great Discoverer,
made still another great discovery: he took a filter, put tobacco
in front of it, and invented the world's first filter cigarette!
Through the centuries filterS have been steadily improved
and so has tobacco, until today we have achieved the ultimate
in the filter cigarette—Marlboro, of course! Oh, what a piece
of work is Marlboro! Great tobacco, great fitter, great smoke!
And so, good friends, when next you enjoy a fine Marlboro
Cigarette, give a thought to the plucky Genoese, Christopher
Columbus, whose vision and perseverance made the whole
lovely thing possible. Ck ISA Mai Minims,
And thank Columbus too for the king-eize Philip Morris
Commander. If unfiltered cigarettes are your choice, you'll
find Contntander the choice of the unittlered. Welcome
aboard.
