Internationalists
to spice soccer
Soccer at Penn State takes on a distinct international flavor
this weekend when teams from Brazil and Great Britain
conclude their American tours at Jeffrey Field.
•
Lion coach Herb Schmidt will divide his team into two
squads to provide conipetition for the foreign teams, which
have yet to lose to an American club.
Competing in the International College Soccer tourney are
the University of Birmingham and MacKenzie University
from Sao Paulo, Brazil and Penn State's "A" and "B" teams.
In Brazil a University can have a soccer team for each
college: On the MacKenzie team, ten players come from the
college that won the Sao Paulo State Collegiate Championship.
Two members of the team were elected to a National
University team, which is similar to the All-America teams.
The only difference is the former play together against other
soccer teams.
The Brazilian style of play is illustrated by center forward
Roberto Moreno, a flashy, quick ball handler.
MacKenzie's only loss, a 1-0 decision to Birmingham, came
at a tourney last weekend at Hartwick College. The Brazilian
team has three shutouts in five games. •
Contrasting the flashy style of the South American team;
Birmingham goes for the physical type of game.
Birmingham, which draws its players from England and
Scotland, relies on center forwards who are 6-3 and 6-4 to
generate its offense...
The British team won the University Athletic Union
championship in 1971 and captured the Midland League title
before losing to Lousghborough in the playoffs this year.
In four games on its tour, Birmingham has two shutouts and
averaged two goals per game. Included in its win column is a
victory over Hartwick, a traditionally strong collegiate
power.
The games will follow this schedule: Penn State "B" vs.
Birmingham at 4 p.m. Friday; MacKenzie vs. Penn State "A"
at 7 p.m.; In Saturday' games Penn State "B" vs. MacKenzie
at 4 p.m. and Penn State "A" vs. Birmingham follows at 7
D.M.
CORNER KICKS Schmidt will probably stack most of his
first stringers on the "A" team. Chris Bahr has been ruled out
of Friday's, games, but could play Saturday if he can arrange
to make it back to State College after the Penn State-Navy
football in Annapolis. Bahr, an All-America at halfback last
year, is doubling as a kicker for the football team and an
inside for Schmidt. Mark Simenson

He was the rushing leader

Mike Varty was worth

Northwestern University's

Saturday what might have
been a year ago when Varty
went down with a knee injury
in the second game of the
season after a bitter 7-0 loss to
Michigan. The Wildcats
finished 2-9 without him.
Varty came back Saturday

Lineman of the Week by The
Associated Press.
"Mike played a beautiful
game considering that he
missed nearly the entire 1972
season," said Coach John
Pont. "He was a real leader.
"He also called the
defenses and made the
necessary adjustments as the
game progressed."
To win the Lineman of the
Week honor, Varty beat out
linebackers Woodrow Lowe of
Alabama, Ed O'Neil of Penn
State, Danny Rhodes of
Arkansas, Jimmy Deßatt of
North Carolina and Wes
Cerveny of Colorado State;
defensive ends Dean Zook of
Kansas and Don Shannon of
Duke; defensive tackles
Steve Cassidy of Louisiana
State, Kenny Moore of East

No kidding
Penn State has had 27
football All-America
players, including 12 in the
last six years.

Winger Marsden red hot?
By BILL GUTHLEIN
Collegian Senior Reporter
John Marsden will neverget lost in a crowd.
The sophomore winger, beginning his second year as a
starter, wears a crop of blazing red hair that allows fans to
distinguish him even in the shadows of Jeffrey Field. -
If last year's number two returning scorer is right, he'll be
seeing a hornet's nest of action this season. While last year he
usually was closer to the fans than the activity around the
nets, this season should see him in ,the swarm of humanity
around the goal.
"Last year I played way out and was hesitant to cut inside,"
Marsden said, "but this year I'll be taking chances dribbling
inside giving myself more scoring opportunities. I should
score more, at least I hope I do."
Marsden doesn't appear worried that the loss of inside stars
Andy Rymarczuk and Rick Allen will mean opponents'
defenses might be watching him a little more closely. He
figures the defensemen will have enough trouble with Chris
Bahr -and Tom Kehan ready to sneak one in if anyone's
attention should wander.
"Up front with Chris and Tommy -we're better off on
attack," Marsden claimed, "With some more work we should
work together fine."
Marsden's primary function this year will be to bring the
ball into the front of the goal. He describes his job as driving to
the baseline, then dropping a shot to the halfbacks on the 18 or
passing inside or to the far wing for a head shot.
Although soccer is just beginning to enjoy .modest
popularity nationwide, and pro soccer is still in its infancy,
Marsden confidently expects the sport to become the number
one sport someday.
"One of these days it'll be number one just like it is
everywhere else in the world," he predicts, "It's proven itself
everywhere else.
"It offers continuous action, 45 minutes each half. No
timeouts and no huddles. It takes talept and skill but anyone of

any size can do it if he works on the skills. It's easier for
someone to relate to a soccer player, you can say can be like
that.' "
Marsden has been a first hand witness of the popularity the
game enjoys abroad. Twice he traversed Europe playing the
game his opponents began learning when they first could
stand long enough to kick the ball.
He has found the Britishers playing the same type of
physical game the Americans play. The Spaniards relied
exclusively on finesse. Butt everywhere he found the fans
totally absorbed in the game.
"Sure, they're crazy, they love the sport the ;Nay people love
football, maybe more. The fans get as involved as the
players."
If only Penn State football fans were as enthusiastic.
