Football Preview {G First they lose to Alabama 14 - 7 in the Sugar Bowl, after a 19-game winning streak; then they lose four all-Americans, three to pro football (quarter- back Chuck Fusina to Tampa Bay, tackle Keith Dorney to Detroit, and place-kicker Matt Bahr to Pittsburgh) and one because of academic ineligibili- ty (safety Pete Harris - brother of Franco). Does Penn State have any hope for the 1979 col- lege football season? Yes, mainly because the Nit- tany Lions have 31 lettermen returning (twelve of whom are starters). The Lions’ offense will have a much more ground- oriented attack, not only because of the loss of QB Fusina, but also because of the ball carrying skills of seniors - Matt Suhey, Mike Guman, and junior Booker Moore. Suhey netted 720 yards on 184 carries last year and he pro-- vides outstanding blocking for the tailbacks. Moore is the speediest of the three, but also has power - gaining 602 yards on 143 carries, while Guman grounded out 351 yards last season. The pass game will profit from the continued presence of ‘Born and reared in Brooklyn, Joe Paterno quarterbacked the 1948 and '49 teams at Brown University, then followed his coach, Rip Engle, to Penn State and served as his assistant for 16 years before succeeding him.

All-Americans Bruce Clark (second in the Outland Trophy voting last year) and Matt Millen provide the punch as defensive tackles, with the aid of Larry Kubin, Lance Mehl, Karl McCoy, Rick Donaldson, Greg Jones, Grover Edwards, Glen Gladys, Mickey Urqvhart, and Tom Wise. With continued strength on defense and strong running on offense, the Nittany Lions should finish in the Top Ten again. — George Hatton (Daily Collegian Photo) A J¥ fy bh N & Ya §/ /] BIE Ep (P\ \ Ta $22, SPO 5 the sport shoe center WW #” AL goods rt S ront & jackson sts. media po.

Low-Cost Running Shoes Dangerous WASHINGTON (UPI) — Joggers would be better off spending $30 to $50 for a good pair of running shoes to avoid possible leg and muscle injuries from the $10 variety, according to a new shoe study. The recommendation comes fom Running Times magazine, which recently released its 1979 report on jogging shoes based on actual running tests on 120 pairs of shoes. “Most good running shoes are going to cost $30 or more," said Ed Ayres, editor of the magazine. “I don't know of a single shoe I could recommend in the $10 range, and few in the $20 range.” AYRES AND Dr. Joe Ellis, a La Jolla, Calif., podiatrist who ran the test, were critical of four shoe brands they said landed at the bottom of their ratings time and time again. They were the Sears “Run- er,” the J.C. Penney “Olym- pics,” the Thom McAn “Jox,” and running shoes sold by the Foot Locker Chain. Bob Shoup, assistant na- tional news manager for Sears in- Chicago, declared, “Our . nothing is un- safe about our shoes.” “If a person is an ernest, heavy jogger, jogging on hard surfaces, they will probably not wear a pair of $20 shoes anyway. But the implication is that no matter what the use is, these shoes are unsafe. The bulk of our shoes are not used by serious joggers in the first place. You can’t compare a $60 or $50 pair of j jogging shoes - to a $20 pair of jogging shoes’". “Hundreds of thousands if not millions who use shoes in the $20 range never have pro- blems,"" he said. THE TESTS were made by wiring both casual and long- distance runners to measure the intensity of the shock transmit- ted to the leg by the pounding of the feet. Motion control also was tested. The results, Ellis said, ‘in- dicate the chances of injury “in what we term the cheap im- poster shoes were up to 80 per- cent.”” When a shoe appears repeatedly at the bottom on performances tests, ‘‘that shoe is going to cause more injuries,’ he said. - He also said even casual run- ners who wear cheap shoes run a high risk of injury. In all, he said, 22 percent of all runners eventually suffer injuries from the exercise. The survey gave top rating to five running shoes — New Balance 620 and Nike Daybreak for men and Nike Liberator, New Balance 620W and Nike ‘“‘Tempest’’ for women. The same top rating went to five racing shoes — The Adidas TRX Competition and New Balance Comp 100 for men, and Adidas TRA Competition, New Balance Comp 100 and Nike Challenger for women. Ayres said the top-rated shoes sell in the $50 range. Ayres and Ellis also criticiz- ed the U.S. Olympic Committee for allowing J.C. Penney to use the five-ring Olympic insignia on its shoes. first six finishers in each of 12 catagories. For information, contact the hospital.
