Ashenfelter First;
Harriers Rout Cornell
The expected happened at Ithaca Saturday as the Nittany Lion
cross-country team romped to an easy 19-44 victory over a game but
outmanned Cornell squad.
In capturing their second dua
ners swept eight of the first nin:
Don Young managing to crack the
select first five group of finishers
by placing second.
As is his custom Horace Ash
enfelter, Nittany harrier ace, an
nexed first place, covering the
more than five-mile course in 28:-
32.7. Young's time was 28:49.
John McCall, Mitch Williams.
Bob Parsons, Don Longenecker,
Clair, all Penn Staters, finished
John Bates, Al Porto and John St.
behind Young in that order.
NINTH
Ashenfelter, who usually sets
the pace in cross-country meets,
found himself in the unusual posi
tion of looking at other men's
backs for the first two miles of
the race. At the two-mile mark
the Lion captain was in ninth po
sition, about 50 yards behind the
leader, Longenecker.
Ash began to put on the heat in'
the final half of the meet, how
ever, to precede Young across the
finish line by more than 16 sec
onds. His comparatively slow time
was attributed to the fact that in
stead of racing against time, he
went out to bring the Blue and
White squad across the finish line
together.
Williams, making his first start
of the season since he was put on
the inactive list with bursitis of
the left knee, ran well enough to
place fourth.
The rapidly-improving crop of
sophomores demonstrated their
"stuff" Saturday, five of the first
eight Lions across the finish line
being first-year men for Coach
Chick Werner. John McCall, who
placed third, ran the finest meet
of his collegiate career.
MANHATTAN
Saturday the harriers are ex
pected to face a much stiffer test
in Manhattan. Although the New
Yorkers come here with a med
iocre record in dual competition
this season, Werner considers
them one of the finest cross-coun
try squads in the East.
Before the opening of the sea
son New York sports scribes were
grooming the Big City harriers
for the NCAA title this year.
"This meet against Manhattan
is a toss-up," Werner said last
week. If the Lion mentor's predic
tions are as accurate for this
week's ‘ meet as they have been
the past two weeks that's exactly

play indicate that the Michigan
State man in question, Guard
John Yocca, blocked his Nittany
Lion opponent (John Finley) with
a legitimate block which was
Chown when Yocca turned aound
to protect the touchdown-bound
Guerre."
All of which shows that differ
ent people viewing the same mo
vies of the play can interprete
them differently. Almost any
Penn State student you stop on
campus will tell you Yocca clipp
ed Finley, while the opposite is
true at Mechigan State.
For our part, after seeing the
movies, we were not convinced
ono way or the other as to the le
gitimacy of the block.
Adding Fuel
We might add that the movies
did show one thing plainly. Spar
tan End Ed Sobszak was a couple
yards off side on the play on
which he caught the pass which
set up the initial Michigan State
score.

"Scoop" Flips Coin,
Picks 12 for 12
Three of the four Daily Col
legian yogis have decided to scrap
their crystal balls and use sports
editor Tom "Scoop" Morgan's
foreseeing device, a shiny new
silver dollar, after he predicted
correctly 12 out of 12 of last Sat
urday's grid skirmishes to take
over top spot in the contest with
a lusty .730 average.
Both Elliot 'Lucky' Krane and
George 'Unlucky' Vadasz drop
ped from their first place position.
Krane slipped to second place
picking 10 of 12 winners for a six
week .718 average while Vadasz
dropped to third picking 9 out of
12 for a .704 season average.
Red "more-hopeless-than-ever"
Roth still held tight to his cellar
spot by picking 8 out of 12 for a
.633 prognosticating average for

Jayvees End Season,
Conquer Lock Haven
Sparked by a well-balanced ground and aerial attack, the Penn
State jayvees ended their season by joining their varsity brothers in
victory Saturday as they defeated the Lock Haven freshmen, 19-12.
The Lion men were in complete command of the tilt at all times.
Lock Haven's scoring came in the second half against the Blue and
White reserves.
In the first half the State men pushed across two scores against
an aggregation that could not
keep pace with their faster and
more air-minded backfield. Jack
Murray was on the receiving end
of a pass from halfback Bill
Brown for the initial score.
DRIVE
A sustained drive which fea
tured the running of Herb Kurtz
and Dick Kurber ended with
Kurtz tallying on a buck. Tony
Piliggi, the kicking specialist,
kicked the point which ended
the scoring for the half.
After Lloyd Amprim account
ed for the last Penn State score
on a pass from Brown, in the
third period, Coach Manny Wea
ver began to substitute freely.
With the entrance of the re
serves, Lock Haven came to life
long enough to cross the visitors'
goal line twice. Both of these
second-half tallies came via the
ground route.
