Y., Nov. a valiant effort• to regain the IC-I-A cross-country cham pionship it lost eleven years ago, Penn State's veteran harrier team finished an excellent second to the • defending champions, Rhode Island. - State, in today's varsity meet on the Van Cortlandt Park Course. Trailing the Lions by four points was the favored New York University Violets squad. Man-. hattan and Yale followed far be, hind. • Once again it was the fifth man that stymied any Penn State hopes for the top, position. The Lion's "big four" all finished in the first twelve. Leading the Penn State contingent was steady CUrt Stone, junior letterman, who crossed the line in seventh place. In ninth place . vas another junior Lion harrier, Mac Smith. Captain Norm Gordon finished eleventh just ahead of Jerry Kar ver. Surprise of the meet from the Penn State viewpoint was Howard Horne, who finished fifth for the Wernermen and in forti eth position among 130 compe titors in the varsity race. Other Lions - to 'finish - were Mitchell Williams, freshmen ne gro_ star, in • seventieth place and. Joe .Beach, State- College runner, placing - number 78.

Runner-up for individual title was Leroy Schwarzkopf of Yale. Rhode Island's Ken Taylor fin ished third, seconds ahead of his teammate, Larry Barrett. The second place the Nittany men_ garnered is the best thdy have done on the "big town" classic since they won the meet in 1930. Several times the Lions have placed fourth; once they placed third, but that was the best they were able to do. In all, 29 teams competed in the varsity harrier test. Rhode Island State totaled 55 points: Penn State, 79 points; New York University, 83 points; and Man hattan, 135 points.

Michigan State, who had nev er finished• lower than second place in ten years of competition until last year when they . sunk to seventh, amassed: .a total of .168 - points for sixth. position. Mitchell Williams was a last minute' entry in the Lion's line up.- Oddly enough ; he replaced his: brother, .Rufus • Williams.
