PAGE FOUR Highly-Rated Nittany Harriers Await IC-4A Meet State Tests Strong Rutgers Eleven Tomorrow Engle <Gridders Seek 4th Win In Home Field Finale Victors in their last two engagements and improving with every game, Penn State’s gridders will be facing one of the strongest teams in the East when they take on the Rut gers University eleven in their Beaver field finale tomorrow afternoon. Although Coach Harvey Harman’s Scarlet has recorded a season’s mark of four wins and three losses, Nittany scout Jim O’Hora reported to Coach Rip Erigle that “this Rutgers team is potentially the strongest squad we will have met since Army.” Evidently O’Hora is not the only one who holds the Scarlet in high esteem, for it was announc ed early this week that they— along with Lehigh and Fordham —are being considered for the Sun Bowl in El Paso. Tex. Drop Tilt to Syracuse Rutgers took a bad beating in its opener, bowing to Syracuse, 42-12, but the following week they put on a spirited battle be fore dropping a 34-28 decision to powerful Princeton. The Scarlet has won four out of five since then, their only loss being a 21- 18 battle with unbeaten Lehigh. The Rutgers offense is paced by one of the best passing com binations in the country in T quarterback Walt LaPrarie and end Russ Sandbloom. The Lions proved able to withstand the aer ial thrusts of West Virginia’s Bill Allen last week, and they can be certain of getting another work out from LaPrarie and Sand bloom, In seven games Sandbloom has caught 20 passes for 515 yards and five touchdowns to come within 29 yards of the all-Eastern pass catching record. Rutgers rates 15th in the nation in passing. La- Prarie has completed 44 of 90 passes for 732 yards and seven touchdowns to make him one of the leading flingers in the coun try. Monahan "Power Runner" On the ground the Scarlet at tack is led by halfback Jimmy Monahan. Described as “an out standing power runner” by O’- Hora, Monahan has averaged bet ter than five yards per carry. In 90 atempts he has gained 488 yards. Nor is Monahan the only Scarlet back that will bear watch ing. Bob D’Amato, his running mate at halfback, has tallied five touchdowns to rank along with Sandtloom as the team’s lean,, scorer. , The Lions will probably be at full strength for the tilt. Fullback Jim Pollard and end Pat McPol and, who did not play at all against West Virginia, and full back Paul Anders, who saw only limited action, will be ready for some action, Engle said yester day. Ski Call Issued Sherman Fogg, Penn State skiing coach, has issued a call for all candidates interested in trying out for the ski team. These men should report Monday at 5 p.m. to 209 Willard. iiiiHiiiM §§ Checking the Files ... §§ in 1938... • FIRST HOME FOOTBALL GAME WAS BROADCAST • Nick Vukmanic Hurled the Javelin To New Penn State and Penn Relay Records • And SALLY'S Was In Its Fifth Year Of Service To the Students . . and today, more than ever. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllM By MARV KRASNANSKY Robinson Moves To Tennis Finals Bob Robinson advanced to the IM tennis playoff finals in the independent division by edging Wilmer Ray 7-5, 7-5.

Coach Chick Werner’s unde feated cross countrymen, along with harriers from Army, Syra cuse, Michigan State, and Man hatan, have been installed as the pre-meet favorites. Werner will be' after a long awaited IC-4A championship. In an 18-year tenure as head coach of the harrier sport, a Werner coached team has not captured the coveted title. 4 Championships State has captured the IC-4A championship four times, winning the title in ’26, ’27, ’2B, and ’3O. In the successive three-year cham pionships the team was paced by Bill Cox. Cox took first place in ’26, ’27, and finished third in ’2B. Horace Ashenfelter, brother of Bill and Don on the current squad, was runner-up to Bob Black of Rhode Island State in ’47 and ’4B. Dick Shea, Army’s sensational cross country runner, will be the top favorite to garner this year’s individual title. Shea in his last race ran the five miles in the blistering time of 24:54. Shea has broken two course records this year and seems to get better with every race. Shea Vs. B. Ash Shea’s top opposition is expect ed to come from undefeated Bill Ashenfelter. Bill’s best time ,of 25:40, however, is not indicative of his true ability. Bill has been as good as he has had to be and has not been pressed too much this year. More top-notch competition will come from Michigan State’s ace duo of Warren Dreutzler and Don Makielski, Syracuse’s Bill Ireland, Manhattan’s Bill Lucas, and St. John’s John Johnson. Don and Bill Ashenfelter, •A 1 Porto. Bob Freebairn, Bob Par sons, Bill Gordon, Dudley Foster. Jack St. Clair, and Stan Lindner, will be the probable starters for State. SOLVED!
