tlschoff Weilcomes Incominn Class
' Mi *H Exnanded Intramural Prouram
With the arrival on the campus of over 3,000 new students for
the coming college year, Eugene C. Bischofl, Director of Intra
mural Sports, promises an expanded intramural program to meet
the needs of the incoming class.
Expecting a great increase over last year’s 7.749 participants
in a total of 926 intramural contests, Mr. Bischoff feels that the
need for an extensive intramural
program is greater at the present
time than ever before.
“The spirit of athletic competi
tion,” said Mr. Bischoff. “has def
initely permeated the student
body as a resulf of sports experi
ence gained by veterans in their
various service units.”
Included among the 16 differ
ent Intramural sports offered bv
the department will be touch
football, cross country, and swim
ming in October: basketball in
November; boxing in December;
wrestling, volleyball, handball,
and badminton in February: soc
cer, golf and golf putting, tennis
doubles, handball doubles, and
softball in April: and a-conclud
ing track meet in May.
“New independent men are
especially urged to take advan
tage of the intramural program,”
said Mr. Bischoff. “Fraternities
are traditionally avid partici
pators in intramural sports be
cause of their great organiza
tional abilities, but we also hope
to have independent athletes take
part in everv sport offered by the
department,” he added.

Rugged Schedule Threulens
Cross-Country Title Dreums
The future is bright for CJhick Werner’s 1©47 cross-country
team, despite the fact that the Nittany harriers post the toughest
schedule in the nation.
In addition to Gerry Karver and Horace Ashenfelter, the Lions
will have lettermen Mitch Williams, Fred Lennox and Don Longe
necker returning to the 1947 squad.
The Penn State squad meets Pitt, Cornell. Michigan State and
Manhattan during the dual meet
season, with the TC-4A’s at New
York and the
NCAA’s at East
Lansing. There
is a meet pend
ing with NYU.
Manhattan,
NYU, Michigan
State and Penn
State were the'
top four in
the KMA’s and
NC A A’s last
year, and the
Lions will be out
to elevate their
position thic season. If the NYU
tilt is approved, the Penn Staters
will open the season against the
defending 11-4 A champions.

Lions is Lou Nicastro of Phila
delphia. An ex-Navy officer. Ni
castro ran for the University of
Virginia during the war as a V-12
student and is. likely to be the
high spot among the new faces.
Ashenfelter is looking forward
to a great season over the five
mile route. The Nittany Lion dis
tance ace will be pushing Karver
for top honors all the way.
Missing from last year’s top
squad will be Curt Stone, bril
liant distance man who copped
the IC-4A’s last year, and cleaned
up nearly everything in the two
mile distance during the spring
campaign
