State, 2-2 this year, is attempt ing to go over the .500 mark for the first time since 1958, The Lions have downed Colgate and Buck nell thus far while losing to Mary land and West Chester, two un defeated elevens. Glen Warner's Middies are 3-1 with wins over Haverford, North Carolina and Drexel. The Drexel win was the 100th of Warner's soccer career. Navy suffered its loss at the hands of West Chester. Judging by comparative scores against the Rams, today's game should he fairly even.

But Kenny llosterman's boot ers have been inconsistant thus far, vacillating between good soccer and slipshod soccer. Hosterman has been plagued all year long by careless defensive mistakes. The Lions usually man age to control the ball even when they lose, but temporary relapses have resulted in scores for the opposition. In State's loss to West Chester, three of the four Barn goals were the result of lackluster defensive play. One score was accounted for by a Lion fullback, who deflected the ball into State nets vacated by goalie Dave Grubbs. In last week's Maryland loss, again it was the defense that failed State. The Lions were slow, to clear loose balls away from their nets. and the Terps capitalized on this error three. times. A fourth Terp goal re sulted from a signal mixup be tween Lion captain John Miller and goalie Jim Gottschling. The two players became confused over who should cover the ball; neither did and it resulted in an easy Maryland goal. Slate's offense has also made mistakes, but the front line has scored enough goals to win games, if the defense had been tighter. So far State has scored 11 goals, more than its entire 1960 output. The opposition has rammed 14' scores into the Lion nets. Former Lion coach Bill Jef-, feries, whose teams once went 65 games without defeat, thinks that State has good potential and , will start winning when it cuts, down on mental errors. "The trouble with State's booters is that they don't think," Jeffries said. "A soccer team is different than a football team in that there al way must be 11 quarterbacks on a soccer team," he said. "Every man must be constantly thinking what he will do if he gets the, ball and this is what State has,' failed to do thus far," Jeffries' SICK RADIO or PHONOGRAPH ALTRONICS SALTS & SERVICE Rear of 454 E.

Grubbs will be in the nets today when the Lions face Navy at 11 a.m. on the soccer field adjacent to the Ice Pavilion. Navy (3-1) said. Hosterman is hoping his Lions will not bunch up as they have in past games. "Our wings have not been playing wide enough," Hosterman has said over and over. "It seems there are al ways two State men on the ball with only one defender, making it easier for their defense," he said. The Lion coach expects Navy to play a rough brand of ball— typical of service academies. "Navy is always well-conditioned and • will play a rough game," Hosterman said.

Wenzel Pisch will return to his right halfback position and Eddie Hinojosa will replace Glenn Ream at right wing.
