Seek First Victory
By IRA MILLER
Penn. State's so c cer team once again goes after its initi4
victory (4 : the seekon today when it invades College Park, Md,
to tangle with, The of -Maryland's Terrapins.
Maryland, vic r over North Carolina' State in its only
game this year, : has beaten Sta
having lost the first 10 games in
this 14-year-old rivalry.
The Terps won, 4-1, in 1958 and
have prevailed since' then by
scores of 4-0, 4-1, and 54.
With six games left after to
day, this contest becomes vir
tually a "must" game for State
if the Lions are. to retain any
hopes for a winning season. •
'WE'VE - GOT to win it, coach
Ken Hosterman proclaimed, "or
at least play a good ball game.
I don't mind being beaten by
a better team but I don't like to
lose to a team I think we should
beat."
LI the latter category, Hoster
man has placed West Chester and
Colgate, State's first two oppo
nents this year. The Rams beat
the Lions, 3-1, two weeks ago,
and Colgate won,_ 5-2. last week.
In both games the. Lion scores
came after their foes had finished
their scoring for the day.
Oyton Tertemis, an honorable
mention all-American center for
ward last'. year, is expected' to
lead the Maryland attack. Ter
temis scored one of the Terps'
five goals in their game with
State het season. He was also
selected to the all-Atlantic Coast
Conference • first team last fall.
Carlos Martin, who paced that
Maryland itriumph over the Lions
a year ago by scoring three goals,
has since' graduated.
Coach 'Doyle Royal's Terps
were 9-1-1 last season with their
only setback coming in the NCAA
quarter-finals. They were beaten
by the eventual champ, West
Chester, 4-2.
JAY ROBBINS, a newcomer to
the 'Lion team earlier -this week,
will be in thegoal. Robbins
takes over - from Al — Shuss and
Stu Ross, who had previously
shared the position,
"He's got real good hands and
I Just needs a little work," Hosier
man said , of Robbins earlier- this
week. Having acquired that work
in scrimmages the last few days,
Robbins ;stakes his starting de
but.
Bill Manke, who lettered last
year, and Roy Johnston also
make their first starts of the sea
son today. They. take over the
fullback positions from Ken Link
and Harry Kottcamp.
Manke: will man the left post
and Johnston the right side. Some
fine left-footed work - earned
Manke his starting spot.
"BILL HAS shown me some
things I. didn't think he could,
do," Hosterman said recently.

"A win now; would be a• big
help in the team's morale," Nos
terman said before leaving by
bus for College Park. "They have
got to play , their own garpe. They
haven't been able' to play it 3iet,
so they've switched to something
else and it hasn't been effective,"
he concluded.
The ineffectiveness that flos
terman referred, to is State's f sil
ure to capitalize on its scoring
opportunities. In two games, the
Nittanies have gotten• just 19
shots on goal compared' to 54 for
their opponents. .
