BETWEEN THE . . LIONS Season With. State
In Annual Battle
This time it was the Shanahan C. C.
t Better knoWn as the Penn State Big Vour—or.,,,cordonStone
'Smith-Karver-et al—this outfit set up another upset latt weekend by
sneaking into the back yard of the New York A. C. and the Millrose
A, C. and embarrassing the city lads by copping the National AAU
Cross-country Tournament held in Newark, N. J.
Unfortunately, the fellows couldn't represent Pe4 State in the
- National meet since they lacked the necessary quoriiirn of Blue and
White runners; and didn't have any gas to put in the gar they didn't
. •
have.
Undiscouraged, however, they set out to find a' agar store to
sponsor them, and wound up by becoming_the Shanahan C. C., of
Philly, adding two more trotters in Dave Williams, of Georgetown
'University, and Brownie Ross, the New Jersey schoolkkOy sensation.
In placing all six men in the first eleven to finishthe Shanahan
group became the first Pennsylvania team to ever win the AAU's and,
in . addition, sent the New YOrkers back to. their, respective stables
viatoryless for the first time in 20 years. '—
Miffed at having their
. 20 -year trust busted, however, the New
Yorkers rallied to protest the "Pennsylvania - . Ste-a . P. , 4 , 0n the grounds
that the Shananhan C. C. was a bunch of college rufiners and not the
Shanahan C. C.
Anyway, Chick Werner's boys won their cake,• and even though
they may be prevented' from eating it, it still rook's mighty attractive
alongside the bacon they brought' home from the• 1C.4-A's and the
Michigan Nationals.
Before cleaning up in Newark Sunday, Norm Gordon and
Curt Stone mosied over to Berwick to keep in condition by taking
second and third respectively, in the tank town's 'annual 9-mile
Thanksgiving Pay Iviaxa.tbar.l.•
Included in the merchandise they brought home: for their efforts
-were diamond rings :for each, of them, plus a wrist-watch and a $5O

Incidentally, Penn State did receive a bowl lid. An offer came
through the other day from a "vacant lot" outfit in New. York City
:for the Lions to play an as 'yet unnamed second - party in` a certain
Victory Bowl in that city, but after studying the bid from all con
:ceivable angles the Administration finally declined the honor.
