Page Six Between The Lions Two runners from Penn State Gerry Karver and Curt Stone will probably rank as the favorites to take first place as more fh'an 30 Eastern colleges compete for honors in the IC4A cross-country championships in New York tomorrow. Stone Was gained considerable prominence in the last two weeks while Karver has been on the bench nursing pulled muscles in his legs. Little Curt grabbed first place honors against Pi'fct and Manjhat. tan, registering the best course time .of the season for tli e Lions with his 26:04.8 victory over Ed Walsh of the Kelly Green last Saturday. NEW YORKERS AT TOP Notwithstanding his loss to Stone, however, Walsh o£ Man hattan is still rated one of the favorites for the Intercollegiate title. Two other New Yorkers are counted as lop contenders along with the two Penn Staters and Walsh. Frank Dixon—Negro flash for NYU—although he lost to Walsh in the Metropolitan AMJ championships run in New York two weeks ago, is rated a power ful threat. And Joe Nowicki of Fordham, long on experience, is an unknown quantity this season. KARVER NAMED CAPTAIN Karver will also be named team captain as the Lion harriers fight it out for the Eastern Intercol legiate team title against the best runners in the East. This is not a new assignment for Karver who won the Eastern Intercol legiate crown over the same course in his freshman year as captain of the frosh harriers. Outdistancing more than 250 freshman runners from 24 col leges on the Van Courtlandt Park course in 194)1, Gerry broke the tape in first place, helping Penn State to earn second place in back of the whining Manhattan squad. BOYERTOWN FLASH Everywhere he had gone, Gerry Karver has set records—many of which still stand. As a senior at Boyertqwn High School, he held ho less than six PIAA titles at the same time. He earned the re gional, district and all-state cross country crowns -and was crowned state champion in the mile after winning the regional and district titles. His winning mile time was 4:26 although he had been clocked unofficially earlier in the season in 4:21 for the same dis tance. In. a special freshman medley relay event in the I.C4A cham pionships in Madison Square Gar den in the Spring of 1942, Gerry ran one of the 'best miles of his short career to take top laurels for the Penn State team. As an chor man in the four-man event, Karver grabbed the baton 60 yards behind the leader in eighth place at the start of the final mile.

He passed man after man, came up with a final kick that sent him through the tape in 4:17.6 for the mile distance. The time, how ever, could not be considered for the record since it was set in a ■relay that’s intercollegiate rules. In the 1942-43 indoor season. Gerry ran up against Joe Nowicki of Fordham. ‘ln the Knights of Columbus Meet at Madison Square Garden, Karv&r finished second to Nowicki in the 880- yard run despite a terrific final kick. But just to show Joe who was the boss, Gerry beat him in their next two meetings, once at the Knights of Columbus Games in Washington, D. C., when he chalked up the fastest 1000-yard, time of the year to beat not only Nowicki but Bill Hulse and other track notables. Then it was out to Cleveland for the Lion star where he stuck like <giue to Gil Dodds for three quarters of the route in the fea ture mile in Knights of Columbus competition, then faded slightly to take second place in the fine time of 4:13 behind the divinity student from Boston who won in 4:10.
