Penn State 10-Year Football Record Ninth in Country Penn State's football teams lover the last ten years rank ninth in the country in win-loss percentage, an NCAA compil ation revealed recently. State's iecord of 61 wins, 22 defeats, and 4 ties was good enough to place the Lions among the ten top teams in the country. The Nittany Lions' only un-1 beaten, ,untied team during the ten year period was in 1947 when they were awarded the Lambert Trophy and climaxed the season with a 13-13 tie with Southern Methodist in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas. The State teams of 1942 and 1948 were beaten only once. In 1941 and 1946, two defeats marred their records. During the war years of 1943, 1944, and 1945, the Lions dropped three games in each season. Only Notre-Dame, Army, Mich- , igan, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma can top Penn State's record.

Rugged - Schedule But this is 1951 and the head which wears the crown lies very uneasy. Every opponent on State's rugged schedule—the best in the East are carded—look for ward with glee to their engage ment with the Lions and a chance to upset the defending cham pions. Worst of all, everyone of State's foes has the potential to topple the' nation's cross-country king. Army, Manhattan, Michigan State and. New York University finished in that order behind Penn State in the IC-4A five mile run last year. All four foes are vastly improved and all f our meet the Lions this fall. ;RiMI; Pitt Strong Also on the Blue and White running slate are Pittsburgh and Cornell. Pitt, the stronger of the two, will field the same team as a year ago which means a stronger. and far wiser team after a year of experience behind them. Unfortunately for head coach Chick Werner, who begins his 19th season, and his assistant Norm Gordon. their "experience" left with the graduated national champs. A few letter-winning holdovers, freshman returnees and any un heralded newcomers will battle one another to• gain the team's "wide open" running positions. All new students wlth or with out previous track experience should see coaches Werner and Gordon in Recreation Hall as soon as possible.
