As Football Opens Fall IM Program
Intramural sports swing into action in early October with the first
game of the Football League serving as an inaugural for the '47-'4B
IM program, announced Eugene C. Bisohciff, Director of Intramural
Sports, yesterday.
"With the arrival on the campus of over 3,000 new students for
the coming college year, the intramural program has been expanded
as far as facilities will permit to meet the needs of the enlarged stu
dent body." Bischoff said.
Last year's display of interest
in intramurals topped all pre
vious marks in the history of the
department. A record number of
7,749 athletes participated in a
total of 926 intramural contests.
Basketball led in team interest
last year with 47 fraternity and
28 independent quintets com
peting for the college title. Soft
ball, with 43 fraternity and 28
independent squads, and touch
football, with 38 fraternity and
10 independent nines were next
in popularity for team compe
tition.

Second in line wag Sigma Nu
with 896 1 / 2 points followed by

"New independent men are
especially urged to take advan
tage of the intramural program,"
said Mr. Bischoff. "Fraternities
are traditionally• avid participa
tors in intramural sports because
of their great organizational
abilities, but we also hope to
have independent athletes take
part in every sport offered by
the department," he added.

Karver and Ashenfelter Form Nucleus of 1947
Cross Country Team Which Faces Tough Slate
Lion cross country coach Chick Werner, with Gerry Karver and Horace Ashenfelt
er forming the nucleus, boasts a good cross country which would do well under any or
dinary college schedule
But the Nittany Lions face the toughest booking of any school in the nation, and
on all their opponents' schedules.
Lions will run against this fall, two of them finished in

Of the four teams the
the top four of the Ic-4A's
and the NCAA's last year.
Only Drake University, last
year's NCAA cross country cham
pion, is missing from the 1947
Lion card. Penn State meets
Manhattan, runner-up in the IC
-4A last year, and Michigan State,
which posted fourth iii the IC-4A
the NCAA. In addition to those,
the Lions will meet strong teams
from Pitt and Cornell.
Missing from last year's squad
which placed second in the IC
4A's and third in the NCAA's will
be Curt Stone, last year's IC-4A
cross country champion, winner of
the NAAU three-mile, two-out
door IC-4A two-mile, IC-4A in

and holder of the Penn State and
IC-4A two-mile record of
9: 11.8.
The Nittany Lions went unde
feated in the dual-meet season
last year, toppling such powers
as Michigan State and Pitt, with
Stone and Karver setting the
pace.

Karver outraced Michigan
State's Jack Dianetti over the
five-mile route at State College
last year in the most brilliant duel
of the season.
A pulled leg muscle stopped
Karver from finishing in the IC
-4A match at Van Cordtland Park,
N. Y., and he edged NYU's Frank
Dixon for a seventh in the NCAA's
at East Lansing.
Ashenfelter, called "Fearless
Fosdick," because he is unafraid
of any competition, finished third
in the IC-4A's after setting the
pace for the complete course. He
took a wrong turn on the NCAA
route and finished 19th, although
he was leading the pack until he
missed a sign at a right-angle
turn and 14 other runners passed
him.
Asheni elter, until the NCAA
track and field meet in Salt Lake
City, Utah, last spring, had never
run a distance slower than his
preceding time in competition.
He has run and won the cross

Karver, who rated as the na
tion's outstanding miler las
year with a triple win in th
NAAI.J, IC-4A and the Coliseun
Relays, ran the fastest collegiat
mile in five years against Dianett
in a dual meet at Beaver field
Karver an 4:11.6, the fastes
since Bobby Ginn of Minnesot,
ran a 4:11.2 in 1941. The Karver•
Dianetti mile was also the fastes
collegiate dual meet mile on the
tenths of a second back of Lot
Zamperini's IC-4A championship
record.
Other men back from last sea
