FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1948 Nittany Harriers Face Tough Jasper Foe in Season Finale The Nittany Lion harriers close the curtain on their cross-country dual meet season this afternoon by playing host to Manhattan University. The harriers will start and finish on the New Beaver Field oval. Today's contest pits two of the East's finest hill-and-dale aggregations against each other in what is almost certain to be a close race. "It will be an extremely close contest with Manhattan having a slight edge," Lion Coach Chick Football a la Fem By . Clarive Lfinch Eliminating the possibility of a tie which never proves anything, someone's record has to be broken wh en two undefeated teams meet. The important question of this week is whose will it be. When Penn and Penn State meet on Franklin field tomorrow, two of the football powers of the East will pit skill and brawn against each other. Since both teams use a similar 'type of play, the game will prove which team employs the mor e powerful single-wing attack. To the victor of this game be longs the spoils, and, in terms of football glory, the rewards are lucrative. SECONDS If you have followed Penn this year, you know that the Quakers came within seconds of losing to Columbia, a much weaker team. Again in the Navy game Penn almost failed to defeat the Mid dies, who have fallen far below their wartime level. Penn State has tied one game and won the others decisively. But past performance shows nothing. Both teams will be on the field to win; both teams will play to win with no punches pulled, since the winner becomes the mythical champion of the state. BEANS We decided to get into this lit tle contest game, too. The one we're running works something like the old stand-by of guessing how many beans are in a jar. All you have to do is give the exact number of Penn State stu dents at Franklin field tomor row. The contest closes midnight Friday. An estimated 80,000 peo ple will be there. Last week we suggested that football teams replace standard colors with more unusual shades. One of our followers, taking up the idea, began working on a new song entitled "Hail to the Toast and Aqua." We've been told that it is cost ing the Blue Band $3,000 to make the trip to Philadelphia. From what we have observed they could get there just as, quickly by marching the entire distance. It would certainly save money. . tes a • • • • 01111111 ft, .6.

PORTO The announcement Wednesday that Al Porto, outstanding sopho more, would not be able to run today seriously hampers Lion hopes of a victory against the New Yorkers. Porto sprained his ankle last week, and the injury has not healed as quickly as had been ex pected. The Jaspers too have had their share of bad breaks. Ignatius Rienzo, last year's number-one runner, has been hampered by injuries all season. He will run against the Lions today, but just what form he will demonstrate is not known. Another Jasper casualty is John Moran. Moran was injured two weeks ago and is now out for the season• A lot of attention is certain to be riveted on Nittany Captain Horace Ashefelter in this after noon's encounter. Ash has crossed the finish lint first in every meet so far this year, and only an up set comparable to Truman's vic tory over Dewey could prevent him from annexing his fourth in dividual win here today. In his last outing over the home course the Collegeville speedster set a new course record of 25:03.2 for the five-mile dist ance. While no one expects the harrier ace to break that mark today, interest is rife on how fast he will circle the course. The Lions, with two victories in three meets so far this season will be looking for their third dual win of the year. Manhattan has a record of two wins against two losses.

Coach Bill Jeffrey doesn't expect much trouble from Syracuse, a team which dropped a 3-0 decision to Colgate. Colgate succumbed to the superior Blue and White soccer forces last Friday. But the veteran soccer mentor is looking into the future—next week's contest against Cornell. Jeffrey thinks that Cornell has greatly improved over last sea son, being bolstered by a crop of Freshmen stars. He expects a great deal of difficulty from .the Big Red. PENN Cornell booting forces drubbed a strong Penn outfit, 3-0, last week. The Lions close their '4B soccer campaign against the Quakers. Jeffrey is well satisfied with his charges although he still thinks they are a little weak through the center. Clarence Buss, starting center forward may be replaced by George Phillips, a promising looking center prospect. Most improved player on the soccer eleven, according to Jeffrey, is outside performer Dick Yeag ley. Although a substitute, Yeag ley has shown continual progress and is considered as capable as the starting wings. Only probable change from last week's starting lineup is fullback Chuck Margolf's replacement of Jim Kline. Margolf earlier in the season suffered a leg muscle in jury but it has healed sufficiently for him to participate in tomor row's contest.
