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.

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,

hopes to conclude the ’49 cam
paign with- a string- of 15 un

. ~ being tabbed one of the greatest
of . the..;.Host.erman brothers alsoi .captains this. year’s' unit. He
comes from' a long line ,of soccer standouts.'
HOSTERMANS ALL GREAT
' In fact, he is the fourth of a quartet of brothers who have
relayed dominant roles in Penn State soccer history. His older
brother';*'Walter, ■ now assistant graduate manager of'athletics at
the College, was named All-American right halfback in 1939- and
’40...; •' y
- The. eldest of the' four Hostermans. Woody, starred at out-"'
side left beginning in 1935. Kennie. now. a senior at the College,
was-a'Sensation in 1946. copping high scoring honors that-year.
But early'the next season, at Penn, he .broke his leg and . was;
. forced to give up competition in ihe booting sport. At present
he. is assisting Jeffrey with'the soccer iayvees.
" 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'. '• " •

' KUSHNER
Ja e k Kushner’s touchdown
with eight minutes remaining in
the game enabled Z.B.T. to get
by Chi Phi, and' register its sec
ond win. Z.B.T.’t scoring came
when Frank Rose intercepted a
pass on the Chi Phi 45, ran to
the 20, and then heaved to Kush
ner tor the tally.
Phi Delta Theta was one yard
to the better of Phi Kappa at the
final whistle and was awarded
the decision of a photo-finish
contest.
Starting its final'overtime play
on the P.D.T. 45, Phi Kappa was
thrown for a six-yard Joss when
Johnny Reese, 121 pound wrest
ling star, , caught . Ted Kubicki
behind the’line of scrimmage and
stopped him on his own 49. The
game ended there a moment
later with Phi Delta Theta failing
to move dhe ball on a quarter
back sneak.
1 TIE GAME
Under IM rules, if a game ends
in a tie, each team is given three
plays, the ball changing hands
at the end of each play. The team
able to '■move the ball, into the
opposition's territory is declared
the winner. The victory was
P.D.T.’s second. - ,
Both of Theta Xi's victories
this season have been by the slim
1-0 margin. Last week it opened
its schedule' setting back Sigma
Phi Sigma by the same count.
THETA XI
Thursday night Theta Xi won
by dint of Hal Ewing’s 10-yard
fun on the second of its three
overtime plays. Taking the ball
at midfield, Ewing dashed to the
40: Three K.D.K. plays went for
naught.
