SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1949 Spiked Shoes At 2:15 this afternoon a group of 15 to 20 young men, clad- in scanty attire, and wearing spiked shoes, will appear on the Beaver Field track. After a brief warm ■ 'up; they will start around ..the track, run out of the area, and .disappear.' i ■ This event will mark the open ■■ ing of the 1949 cross-country sea r son- for the Penn State harriers. What’s so. important about the team? ; Well, for one thing, Penn jState, through Coach Chick , ...Werner’s constant winning ef .,forts, has come to be recognized as one of the major cross-count try pqwers in the nation. Qr o up e d with Manhattan, and Michigan State, the ;;lsr;itfariy -Harriers have constant ly turned in winning records ...throughout the years. 1 Unusual '■’ Another unusual feature about this afternoon’s race js the fact that there willjbe no seniors run ning on the Penn State team. This is the ; first time in the mem ory- of'Coach Werner that an all junior and sophomore team rep resented the Lions oyer the hiil and-dale' route. ■ l , Captain Bob Parsons will lead the. procession. The two brothers ; of.one. of the nation’s greatest 1 distance runners, Horace Ashenr felter, will take the next two ‘'lanes'. Bob Fre'ebaim, -John Mc- Call, Jack St. Clair,* Al Porto, and Bill . Gordon will conclude the adoring members of the'’team- Other men will, run- this, after ■: noonj but only the first eight will ■be .numbered and of '.those only the first'five to cross .the finish line will be scpr ■ ing. The. Course After'’ the leave the track,' they ; go 'out through the, West gate of the field, -run along' Rec Hall, cross the highway Mid then start around the golf course. Two wide loops take up. the necessary miles for.-the .race arid then they head back through the gate and onto the - track once more. ' . - ! Sometiine during; thq -SgfiQpd quarter of the football game the runners will complete the race. If they, look slightly tired as- they make the last turn, remember that it’s five miles from atfu4*tQi finish, and, that’s no short trot.' , ' : ■ .When .the Nittariy harriers head down the home stretch, the ,Penn State fans stand up. and ; cheer the runners across the fin ishline, as a tribute to endurance —and to a top-flight team. Harris Forsees Lion Win Today The Cotnhuskers from Ne braska will more than meet their match today-when they; invade the lair of the now-growling Nit tany Lion. Football’s Delphic Oracle, Joe Harris, predicts that State will continue on its win ning way with a 33-7 Victory over Nebraska, at Beaver Field; Last week, Harris picked 102 ■games on the nose, and 'was wrong on 25 with six ties thrown in, for an 80.3 percentage of ac curacy. A little off as far as the score goes, he predicted a 20-7 Nittany win over the ’Eagles. of Boston College. ' Probably winners at left i Saturday's games Alabama-Tennesee .....

Sny- All-Americans No Oddity In Nittany Soccer Realm t All-Americans come and go, but never do they rotate with such rapidity, .as at* Penn State. The I,ions boast of move soccer All-Americans than anyone else, no other college can make that statement. In the 24 years that Coach Bill Jeffrey has been behind the wheel of all Nittany soccer activitv. the Blue and White nrides in having 34 All-Americans, 11 of those receiving honors twice, while one, Bill McEwen, captain of the 1936 outfit, being acclaimed three years in succession. ' , “McEwen was the highest .scoring man ever to play for me,” Jeffrey proclaims, “he scored 21 goals his sophomore year and during his three years here he had 40 goals.” SNUBBED IN '47 ' Last- year “Bagpipe Bill”, as Jeffrey is often called by his admirers, opened the season without an All-American in the line up, for in 1947'soccer authorities snubbed him and his boys.. That was the only time in the more than, two decades at State that the Blue and White failed to place a man on the A A team. But Jeffrey went on to show them. His M 8 unit went on to drop but one contest in nine out ings and when battling was all over, two Niltanies, Ralph Hoster -man- and Dick Hannah,'were-awarded All-American half back positions. i,:' . Both Hannah and'Hosterman are back this season to spark plug-the Lipns, who eye-not only an undefeated and untied year, " ■ ' ' • * but also ah hnscored-upori sea- / Hannah,, a Philadelphia school boy product who learned his first soccer ABC’s at Frankford, claims 'that “The best defense is a good offense,” and with that motto',,, .the' pride of Nittany. hopes to conclude the ’49 cam paign with- a string- of 15 un beaten tilts. , Dick, an aeronautical : engi-., neering, student on campus with the NROTC unit, is only a junior and. will Be eligible . to perform with the Lions comes time for the leaves id-, .fall next autumn. 1 ' " Although, halfbacks in soc cer are not usually counted ...upon for scoring duty, he”did * receive credit for quite a few goals while in high school but has yet to break into the. : scoring paiade at Slate. - His 1 All-American running . ~ being tabbed one of the greatest of . the..;.Host.erman brothers alsoi .captains this. year’s' unit.

" Certainly the many good things said, and written in praise .of ‘.‘Bagpipe Bill” during his 24-year reign'as Penn State soccer coach are all based on fact. As a . collegiate soccer authority he has no' '‘peer and his ability as producers of All-Americans goes unquestioned'.
