There is a reason why some meals are higher

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.

Acid Test
There comes a day in the lives
of men and football teams when
resources and ingenuity are
taxed, when a stumbling block
threatens one’s smooth progress,
when a thorny vine mars a rosy
oath.
That day dawned this morn
ing for the Nillany gridmen,
and the vine has eleven thorns
—eleven Spartan warriors
who'll be out to dole out de
feat to Penn State this after
noon as they did two seasons
ago.
As Testtube Terry, our admir
