Harriers Lose Final Meet On Manhattan Course Practicing on the water-lugged State College course, the Penn State harriers will strive to get back t o winning form in time for the IC-4A meet next Monday at New York. By dropping their last dual meet of the season to Manhattan by a 27-28 count, the cross-country team enc:ed the regular season by winning three meets, two by per fect scores, losing two, and scoring the low total of 107 points to their opponents' 170.

College Ave. 1 Between The Lions It's been said that mud is "The Great Equalizer" in football. No matter how unevenly matched two teams seem on paper before the game, when they play on a muddy field both have the same chance to win. So it was last Saturday in Philadelphia. An all-night rain ended just an hour before game time, but the damage was al ready done. The field was a quagmire by the opening whistle. Both teams floundered around in a sea of mud which turned the game into a punting duel between Joe Colone, playing his first reg ular game since the Fordham field day, and Temple's highly touted Sonny Slosburg. Needless to say, the final outcome of the game was a result of Colone's booming toe. SLOSBURG HELD DOWN Slosburg, the supposedly one man Owl edition, fizzled out when it came to ground gaining and passing—his reputed long suits. On the ground Sonny was held to a minus 21 yards while the ex-Central High star's pass ing attack failed to materialize. Frannie Rogel and Bobby Wil liams bore the brunt of the Lion offensive. The Higginsmen con centrated on short stabs at the Temple line. Two, three, and four yards were the average gains on the 49-yard drive that ended in the game's only touchdown. Bobby scored his first touchdown of the season when he jumped over from the two-yard line after it took the Lions 16 plays to go 49 yards. Jeff Durkota grabbed the long est gain of the day for the visit ing Lions by racing 23 yards to the Temple 15 on the famous Higgins reverse. The reverse has been developed into the Lion coach's prime contribution to college football. Big Jeff, nor mally a wingback, started the game at the fullback slot when the Lions received the kickoff on Jayvee Football Penn State's Jayvee gridmen will try to salvage a victory Fri day when they 'play host to Bucknell's iunior varsity in the season's third and final encounter.

'SETTING HEN" Temple's first period 45-yard run surprised the men in the press box as well as the Lions. According to the official explana tion the play was described as "the setting hen" play. The ball was snapped back to the back field where a back took the ball and squatted with the ball be tween his legs. Another back faked taking the ball and pulled the Lions over to the left side of the line. It was then that left end Joe Lee really took the ball and raced around right end on the old end around play. Only co-captain Johnny Potsklan was in position to overcome Lee and the Lion end finally pulled the Temple end down from behind on the State 15. The play, by the way, gave Lee the top yardage for the Owls —quite an accomplishment for an end. As Slosburg fizzled, the main job of the Temple backfield chores fell to Bob Girton. Slos burg, however, was a threat at all times, especially after the touch down. He started throwing passes right and left and every one was a potential Owl score. The Lion defense had solved Temple's passing attack and nary a pass was completed all day. Bobby Williams threw two passes over the Temple goal that came close to being touchdowns. Ed Czekaj missed the first by inches and the second was grabbed by Owl Chester Orseck for an automatic touchback. SUHEY, PETCHEL HURT Elwood Petchel's appearance in the game was marred by a knee sprain in the first half and big Steve Suhey had a cut in his chin that took 12 stitches to close. Suhey should be able to see ac tion this Saturday against Navy. Petchel is out for the season. Less than 15,000 fans braved the rain threat to see the game, with the Lion fans coming close to outnumbering the followers of the Owls. TEMPLE STRATEGY? Temple does own a tarpaulin for the field but it was never used. Many fans, listening to the game on the radio, couldn't un derstand why Franklin Field was dry and the Temple field a lagoon of mud. The Owl strategy almost worked and as it was, the Philly sportswriters hailed the game as a moral victory for the Owls. Opponents' Scores Wash. State 6 - Oregon 12 Syracuse 6 - Cornell 12 West.
