Lion Harriers Seek First IC-4A Title Since
Unbeaten Wernermen Face 39 Teams
In New York City Tournament Monday
Penn State’s cross country team in guest of its first IC-4A
title since 1930, will lay an undefeated record on the line
against 39 other schools Monday.
The absence of the IC-4A
been a drought in running talent
at the Nittany Vale school, how
ever. Under Coach Chick Werner
the Lion harriers have won two
NCAA titles and have never fin
ished worse than third in the na
tional run. In IC-4A competition
the Nittany cross countrymen fin
ished in the runner-up positions
on numerous occasions.
State Runners Favored
Penn State’s undefeated com
bination of Don and Bill Ashen
felter, A 1 Porto, Bob Freebairn,
Bob Parsons, Bill Gordon, Dudley
Foster, Jack St. Clair, and Stan
Lindner are given the nod, as the
team to beat in the IC-4A meet.
Along with the Lions, Michigan
State, Army, Syracuse, and Man
hattan will be the top teams mak
ing the start on the five-mile Van
Courtlandt park course.
The individual battle for first
place will probably be a struggle
between two of the nation’s top
notch runners. Army’s Dick Shea
and State’s Bill Ashenfelter. Both
runners are undefeated in com
petition this year and if the race
is run under favorable conditions
a new IC-4A mark may be set.
Other Outstanding Runners
Bill Ireland of Syracuse.. Bill
Lucas of Manhattan, Michigan
State’s duo of Warren Druetzisr
and Don Makielski, and John
Johnson of St. Johns will be
among the top Eastern runners
who will be vieing along with
Shea and Ashenfelter for the top
position.
Penn State’s cross country
scoring system, a plan that speeds
the process of determining indi
vidual and team winners in fields
involving a hundred or more .en
tries, will be used for the first
time at the IC-4A meet.
IC-4A officials have invited
Werner and his assistant. Norm
Gordon, to install the system for
the meet because of the difficulty
in the past years of speeding the
returns to the press and radio.
The system, designed by the
State coaches through a combina
tion of handling large fields for
the PIAA schoolboy runs and the
besKmethods of prior IC-4A and
NCAA title runs, will be in charge
of Gordon and assistant coachc"
from Columbia, Manhattan, and
Michigan State.
Pitt-Sfafe Frosh
Tangle Friday
Almost overlooked as the ten
sion grows before the annual
clash between the Pitt and Penn
State varsity football teams is
the scheduled game between the
Pitt and Penn State frosh.
Scheduled for Friday afternoon
in Pitt stadium, the game looks
to have almost as much luster
as the varsity game. The Pitt
frosh are undefeated in four
games and have only to hurdle
Penn State, for an undefeated sea
son.
In the same fashion, Penn
State’s frosh, with a 2-2 record,
must beat the little Panthers to
come up with a winning season.
The little Panthers have bowl
ed over the Ohio university
frosh, Kiski prep, the Army ple
bes, and the West Virginia fresh
men.
The Nittany Lion cubs after
losing to Wyoming Seminary, 13-
12, and the Syracuse frosh, 14-0,
defeated the Buclcnell freshmen
and the Navy plebes by 21-6 and
25-20 scores.

On A Sweet Note . . .
Freshman Soccermen Defeat
Centre County All-Stars, 4-2
The Penn State freshman soc
cer team ended its season on a
successful note by defeating the
Centre county all-stars, 4-2, last
night in Bellefonte under the
lights. Centre forward Hap Irwin
led the frosh with three goals.
The All-star squad was com
posed of the cream of the Centre
county high school league, who
gained a 2-1 lead at halftime only
to fall to the coordinated attack
of the yearlings.
Irwin opened the night’s scor
ing in the initial period but the
stars • tallied twice in the second
quarter. Bob Jodon, stars’ center
forward and Will Truckenmiller
tallied to give the high school
boys the lead.
The Little Lions made it a tie
game again after one minute of
play in the third period, with
Irwin gaining the tally. His third
goal of the night, later in the
same, quarter gave the Staters
':he lead for the second time.. ,
Hubie Kline, outside right for
the victors, clinched the win by
adding the final goal of the cold
night’s work.
The game was played on the
Bellefonte High Athletic field and
was sponsored to encourage the

interest’ of the townspeople in
the sport.
The yearlings, coached by
George Lawther, of the 1949 var
sity, . are the first frosh. to rep
resent the College since before
the war.
Previously the frosh had split
even in their two contests.
Ogontz center fell victim to a
burst which netted three goals
in two minutes in a 3-2 game.
They lost their first game to
Frostburg State Teachers College
(Md.), 2-1.
