THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Rhode Island State
Regains Team Title
By DON WEBB
Special to the Collegian
NEW YORK CITY, N. 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.
Individual titliSt was freshman
'Prank Dixon, Jr., of new York
University with a .time of .27:08.4.
.This; does. -not compare favorab
ly- . with. last; year's. 26:40.1 five
little, winning effort of Leslie
iljacMitchell: however, a strong
wind .hindered runners - on the
'course today.
. 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. Originally
counted on to give the winners
Breaks A Jinx
Although Coach Chick Wer
-ner's cross-country team did not
win yesterday's IC4-A varsity
run, they placed, an excellent
second and thereby overcame an
eleven, year jinx that had held
Lion teams to thirds, fourths and
lower ratings in the annual clas
sic.
some of its strongest competition
was, Yale, who trailed miserably
with 150 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.
In- making:: the change in the
starting. seven, Coach Chick Wer
ner said that he had been of)pos
ed to using yearling runners over
the longer five-mile course, but
he thought that Mitchell, who was
number one man on the now-a
bandoned frosh team, would have
