FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1942 BETWEEN THE LIONS By BEN BAILEY Sports Editor . Midst all the preparation for the .grid tilt with Penn in Philadelphia . tomorrow, I'd like to pause a mo ment to drag in a few lines on the cross-country team which enters ,the IC4-A championship race over New York's Van Cortlandt Park course Monday. . Coach Chick Werner's harriers, ;many of you will recall, are the boys who• are supposedly. .going to :New York to .14ck• up -the trophy - which a number of the sports ' writers have ,already conceded them earlier in the Fall. Strangely enough, most Penn State sports followers tag along in toting the same opinion, expecting the Blue and White harriers to Make a cake-walk of the affair over such outfits as Yale, N. Y. U., Rhode Island State, and Dart mouth. Actually the boys face a contest which should be every bit as tough as last season's, when they pulled up fourth behind N. Y. U., Man hattan, Rhode Island State. Chick Werner envisions a fourth or fifth at best, for the boys—but of course that's natural for a coach, other writers tell me. Werner bases his opinion on: some very sound fact, however. For: Y. U. has freshman Frank Di?ccitc : who is favored to finish first ins4l4,ineek.

Gii;iMMM THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Gridders Ai Top Strength For Penn At full strength for the first time this season with the return to playing condition of Bob Peru gini, Bob Weitzel, and Orient Mar tella, 34 members of the Nittany Lion gridiron squad will leave this morning for Philadelphia where they will encounter the Quakers of the University of Pennsylvania tomorrow. Spirit was high in the Blue and. White practice session on New Beaver :Field last night, as Coach Higgins and staff had the squad members engage in dummy drill against Penn formations. Although Higgins would not verify it, indications seemed'to point to the same starting lineup - for Saturday's game -as started against Syracuse last Saturday, ex 7 cept that Bob Davis will replace Wilbur Van Lenten at end. If the lineup remains intact.. Walters will team up with Davis at end, Schoon over and Moore -at tackles, Nobile ,and Jaffut`s at guards, and Palazzi at center. The backfield will -be composed of Cenci, Brown, Ban bury, 'and Colone. An announcement from Penn late yesterd.iy stated 'that Coach George Munger will start two new halfbacks in the places of Bob Odell and Jackie Welsh.' Joe Kane will replace Welsh at wingback and' Roy Pletz will take over the tailback slot fornierly held by Odell. • MeMbers of the traveling squad are as follows: Ends—Van Lenten, Walters,• Davis, Baierl, Robb, and James; Tackles—S ch o ono ye r, Moore, Kerns, Sweitzer, and Pratt; Guards—Perugini, Jaffurs, Mobile, Suhey, McCloskey; Centers-L:-Pa lazzi, Wolosky; Martella; Backs— Cenci, Schroyer, Tuccerri, St. Clair, Durkota, Shelihammer, Pearson, Banbury, COlone, Weitzel, McFar land, Brown, Joe, Williams, and O'Karma.

PAGE THREE Undefeated Harriers Declared 'Ready' For Annual IC4-A Meet Declared to be in the best shape of the season by Coach Chick Werner, Penn St a t e's cross-country team will leave tomorrow morning for Monday's E• 11- i m portant "jinx" IC4-A meet it New York City on Monday. In the light of recent perfor mances of several metropolitan teams, Penn State will enter the race definitely an underdog. New York track experts concede the Lions a fourth or fifth place in the annual classic. Practice staged on the Centre Hills Golf Course during the last week have helped prepare the Lion harriers for the rugged ter ain that they will experience on the famous Van Cortlandt Park course Monday. The New York race has always been a jinx for Penn State cross country teams. Four undefeated Lion thinclad squads have enter .ed the IC4-A meet in previous Novembers only to place miser ably., The best any of these teams could d 6 was a fourth place. Fin- . est showing of a Blue and White harrier squad in the IC4-A's in the last ten years was a third in 1939 one of the wor st dual meet seasons Penn State cross country teams have ever exper ienced. Making the trip for the Lions will be the regular team of sev-, en runners—Norm Gordon, Curt Stone, Mac Smith, Jerry Karver, Joe Beach, Rufus Williams, and. Howard Horne. l'avoitte for Monday's meet will be either New York Uni- N ersity or Rhode Island State. Both have undefeated records for the dual-meet season and have impressive _times during the sea son. Led by Frank Dixon, Jr., fresh man, distance star, NYU can be counted on to place high in the standings. Dixon has run the IC4-A course at Van Cortlandt Park in the amazing time of 26:- 17. This compares very favorably with Leslie Mac Mitchell's time of 26:40.1 in last year's meet. The New York City team also has four other runners that have finished second, third, fourth, and fifth in many dual meets this sea son. Rhode Island State, defending champions, has a veteran team that should be hard to beat. They have four of the five members of last year's team returning. Out standing runner for the Rams is Robert Nichols, who finished sec ond only to Mac Mitchell in last year's varsity run.
