The invaders are heavy favorites to cop today's dual meet, and the Spartans, Wernermen Seek X-Country Mark A record that has withstood the attempts of dozens of cross country stars for the past nine years will be in danger of falling today when the Lion harriers, defending NCAA title holders, open their home season against Michigan State. The clash of the two cross-country titans is scheduled to begin at 11 o’clock from- the New Beaver Field track. The hill-and-dale men will circle the golf course twice and finish back on the track. Both the start and finish of today’s meet may be seen from the stands of New Beaver Field. The record which Coach Chick Werner predicts will go by the boards this morning is the course mark for the five-mile distance. The present mark. 25:28, was set by former Nittany harrier Bill Smith in a dual meet against Syracuse in 1938. Since that time many of the nation’s greatest cross-country runners, including such Lion stars as Jerry Karver, Curt Stone, Horace Ashenfelter, as well as a host of other collegiate greats, have tried in vain to lower the time for the course. In today’s meet five of the country’s greatest distance run ners will simultaneously make an assault on Smith’s mark, with a good chance that one of the five may establish a new record. Four members of the invading Spartan contingent. Bill Mack, Warren Druetzler, Tom Irmen. and Jack Dianetti, as well at Nit tanv captain Horace Ashenfelter are good enough to shatter the existing record, in the opinion of Werner. The meet itself will probably resolve into a dual clash between NCAA title later in the year. TRY IN VAIN Welcome ALUMNI Crossroads IS STILL THE PLACE -TO EAT - Ashenfelter and Michigan State. Ash seems to be the only Lion runner in a class with any one of the East Lansing quartet. In recent practice sessions the lanky Nittany harrier ace has shown signs of rounding into top form, and will probably be out to capture the individual champion ship.
