FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14. 1949 Between W 1 'ft" The Lions . With Elliot Krane Sports Editor "The Team” Its not everyday that a tackle intercepts a pass and runs for a touchdown, but when that tackle has< played only 10 minutes of football for the College, the feat is especially' noteworthy. We went, up to Rec Hall the other day to talk to Ed Hoover, Penn State’s newest tackle find, to find out what it feels like to charge in from the line and sud denly find yourself running with the ball under your arm. "-‘•‘lf it- wouldn’t have been for Fred Felbaum tackling Songin in the Boston College game, I’d never have gotten the ball,” was the sophomore’s first, comment. ; “Coach Bedenk told us .that : Songin would throw' the 1 ball anywhere if he were tackled be hind the line and-that’s justovhat he" did. .’l'-V/ds There v • “It just happened that f'was there when he threw the .ball away.” Hoover’s parents were in the stands Saturday, ’and ~We-'won dered what their reabtion "tv'as tb his. first, and most likely only ,touchdown of his career. “Well, - ’ hg said, “my mother- didn't-have much to say since she-doesri ! t : like me to play football; blit mjt fath er. was thrilled—-in fact, so was I.” In high school, • the: 205rpound tackle played for - Altoona.- i rln 1946 the team .won eight and lost one and in 1947 it won five loSt two and tied two. ..Last ..year Hoover played oh the S.T.C. , team as a reserve’ tackle. Two Man Job • Another unusual fact ’concern ing the - Lio'n’s first V touchdown was that the two men who en gineered it, Hoover and 'Felbaumj appeared in the starting; lineup -for the first time this season/But; on the other hand; perhaps 'there was method to- Coach Bederik’s strategy of starting J two r , reserve linemen in a crucial “rh'ust” ; game for Penn State. ' ’ ? n. Gatherin' Grapplers ; - It will take a few weeks before the familiar grunt and • Brians will'-.be heard-on the - College mats, but wrestling coach Char-, lie Spidel has already., starred;the ball.rolling by calling, a-, meeting of aspirants last TueSday night-, the'- turriout’''he';will pick up - his half-nelson ap’d grapevine ' boys arid iriold them together; in ,to,what promises to.be a very in teresting team. /Dribble Poor Favor ;; 'lf you’d like to hear an account ,of Mexican athletes and. custorris, jyou won’t have tb register - for ;<jne of Mr. Cook’s tours—just jmosey up to Rec Hall and ask dohn Lawther, who. spent two 'months south of ’ the ’. border -teaching Mexicans basketball. ;Lawther, ari exponent of defen sive basketball, had a job in teaching the good neighbors to the south that games can be .won iby holding the opponents’ score down as well as outscoring them.

Beaver Avenue THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Harriers Face NYU in First Meet of Season By JCE BREV Penn State students, alumni and fans will have their first look at Coach Chick Werner’s cross country team Saturday when the Nittany Harriers play host to N.Y.U. on the Beaver Field Track. Eight veterans have been chos en by Coach Werner to match strides with the eight man team of N.Y.U. The meet, scheduled to begin' at 2:15 p.m., is the first of a tough five meet slate for State. Captain Bob Parsons heads the Blue and White delegation.' He will be assisted by Bill Ashen felter, Don Ashenfelter, Bob Freebairn, John St. Clair, John McCall, Al Porto and Bill Gor don. NO SENIORS “The strange part of this team,” Coafch Werner p o i n't e d out, “is that every man on it is a junior. Our best sophoiriore to date has been Bob Davidson.” The meet will be over a five mile course. The runners start in front of the stands on Beaver Field, circle the track once, leave the stadium, travel two-and a half- times around the golf course and then re-enter the stadium for the finish. The Nittany Lions will be at tempting to repeat last year’s victory over the visitors when the Werner-men came out on top by a 19-36 count. But they will have to -do it without the benefit of a standout performer such as they;, have had in the past; few •ybats.- At'present there is no Hor ace Ashenfelter, Curt Stone 'or Jerry Karver on the squad.
