Booters was season a success? By TIM PANACCIO Collegian Sports Writer About the only thing that seems certain concerning Penn State's booters (8-2-2) is that the season is over. As to it being a success (Penn State style), is open to debate. The Lions struggled through a fall of injuries. scoring slumps, scoring splurges and line-up juggling The struggle ended with an invitation to the NC:NA Tournament Insider Tom Kehan scored his second three-goal "hat trick" of his career in leading the Lions to a 5-3 win over Philadelphia Textile in the opening round But that was the brightest the playoff picture would get as Herb Schmidt's old nemesis. Penn. ‘t alloped the Lions 4-0 on Franklin \stro Turf in Philadelphia.

"On natural surface," said Tom Kehan, "it would have been a completely different game. We would have beat Penn on grass but the Astro Turf hurt us. "Like myself, I'm helpless on turf because it's too quick. You have a quicker ball and this requires a soft touch on a pass. You can't cut well and we're not overwhelmingly quick, so it all figures." Kehan feels the season was a success unlike Bahr, which is strange considering Kehan sat out two games and played sparingly in two others due to leg injuries. "Things turned ouifpretty Hell considering all of our problems this ear," Kehan said "The biggest problem of course was getting II people together on the field and keeping them healthy. I think e‘eryone who played this ear was hurt or bothered at one time or another Kehan had his leg injuries 01 course.

Some have tried to compare this season's Lions to last year's 9-1-2 club that featured All-American turned pro, Andy Rymarczuk. Rvmarczuk will best be remembered for his winning goal with 18 seconds left against Penn two years ago that made the Lions a 2-1 victor in the NCAA playoffs. Herb Schmidt doesn't like to compare this year's boaters with last year's. He does admit that last year's squad was gore offensive minded, however. But Penn has changed according to Kehan who played on Penn State's winning team in 1971. - Penn is a lot stronger now." admitted Kehan. - They're very deep and they drew some players.;from St Louis so the quality tuns right down th?ir lineup." Kehan likes the Penn State r► Penn rivalry. "Penn has a large following in Philly and about three- . fourths of our team is from the area so there's a rivalry that gets better each year thanks to this and Herb expanding the soccer program Id like to see Penn during the regular season." 1 d ito 10 ED NEBRASKA BOOK COMPANY Branch Stores Division 1135 R Street Lincoln, NB 68501 40 2 / 4 32-0111 Telex 48-6419 Open 9 206 E. til r--. ti -~ _ , • '""le"W-4"."- -141; S:14„7110011106; Halfback Chris Bahr and Lions suffered scoring woes and dropped a 4-0 decision to Penn in the Na‘tA regionals To: The Univer,sity Community A store with a long, tradition of service to the Penn State campus has opened its doors after six long months.
