PAGE SIX X-Countrymen Open With Pitt Saturday Stronger Panthers Anxious to Upset Defending Champs Usually when Pitt’s cross country team comes here, as it will Saturday, the Panthers are content to drive over on the morning of the race. But this year Pitt harriers think so seriously about their duel with the national champion Lions that they are going to arrive Friday and take a pre-meet workout on the Nittany golf 'course, site of the race. Then like a secretive football team, the Panthers will stay in Bellefonte overnight. Reason for the special interest by the Smoky City outfit is two fold. One, Pitt Coach Carl Olson would practically trade a win over Penn, State for an IC-4A title. Secondly, Olson figures that with the Lions’ championship team largely broken up by gradu ation and his own squad stronger than in recent years, his runners have an excellent chance for vic tory. Olson Speeds Drills Olson had the squad working long before classes started. In his eagerness to “get” State, he has probably brought his squad along faster than he otherwise would. The Panthers opened their schedule Saturday with a perfect score win over Slippery Rock and' Geneva. Despite the feebleness of the opposition, Pitt was impres sive with a 22:53.4 clocking on a hilly Slippery Rock course. Five Panthers romped across the finish before any of their opponents. Veteran Ken Mahan na won by 20 yards with his mates Frank Kuzma, Bernie Lu terancik and Don Delegatti shar ing second. Dan Somers, a prom ising sophomore, sewed up fifth place. Werner Looks Ahead Nittany Coach Chick "Werner is surprisingly confident even though he hasn’t especially brought the squad “up” for this one. Instead ■ Chick is more con cerned about a gradual approach for bigger meets later on. From the. looks of the Lion frontrunners in their final over distance spin on Monday, Chick is justified in being slightly con fident. Pete Sarantopolous, Jack Hor ner, Bill Ashenfelter, Dud Foster and Red Hollen easily rolled the seven-plus mile workout in a manner which showed them to be in good condition for the opener. The biggest factor in Statens favor and the reason for Werner’s confidence is the fact that the meet will be run on the Nittany golf course—long a Waterloo for many,; proud teams and runners even though it isn’t as tough as many others in the country.

PENNSYLVANIA Foster s Fight Gains Lions Harrier Title Anyone who scanned the summary of the national collegiate cross-country title run last fall probably never noticed Dudley Fos ter, Penn State, in 20th place. Yet Dud was the runner who, £y refusing to quit, enabled the Lions to bring home a national champions’ trophy. Dudley Foster Choice Tidbits of 'Most Thrillingest Game in Years By ROSEMARY DELAHANTY While the freshmen were tear ing down the goal posts after the Boston game, one little boy about eight was being led tearfully to the exit by a determined father. “I wanna get a piece of post,’’ he wailed. “This was the most thrillingest ■ game in years n years.” Well, maybe not the most thrillingest, but everyone agreed it was pretty great. Prexy Eisenhower, who went cold and then cheered so much he could hardly lslk afterwards, said he had a "won derful time." “You know,” he remarked, “ordinarily when a team is be hind 21-7, some of the spirit goes out of the boys, but today—they really rose to meet the occasion!’ A couple of years ago, Beaver Field on a football Saturday looked like a nursery school play ground because all the Windcrest folks brought their kids to the game. But this past Saturday there was nary a baby carriage parked on the cinder track. Freshman, cheering at the Boston game was so loud and so spontaneous that one dis gusted cheerleader strode over to the more passive senior sec tions and yelled 'Xisien to those frosh—what's the matter with you?" - From one of the back rows a thin voice "We're tired." Several Alpha Phi Delts from Duquesne University in Pitts burgh were here for the game. They also came to see Boston U. coach Buff Donelli who, be sides having coached at Du quesne, played for the Dukes • when they were one of the finest teams in the East. ' Then there was' the guy in Section EG who serenaded Rip Engle all during that dismal first half-with “So long, it’s been good to know ya, so-o-o long, it’s been good to know ya. . . ” But during the second half he changed his tune to “Don’t ever leave me.” By JAKE HIGHTON . The Nittany squad had endured the worst possible conditions en route to East Lansing, Mich. They had had no workouts and little food or sleep djie to the storm which tied up the nation’s transportation. Near Last , At the start of the four-mile run, Dud was, “dead tired” and just didn’t “feel like moving.” He was running almost last—about 67th—after the first quarter-mile. Dud kept plodding and fighting his way up through the hopeless ruck. Near the three-mile mark he was, the only State runner urged on by Coaches Chick Wer ner and ■ Norm Gordon. They didn’t have the heart to beg the other four State leaders to move out after the ordeal they had gone through. It would have been asking too much of “dead men.” But Foster was in 40th place. State couldn’t possibly win the title unless he moved way up. A panicked teammate realized the situation shortly after three miles. A 1 Porto yelled, “What are you doing back here?” With never-say-die courage, Dud moved relentlessly past foes until he finally crossed the line in 20th place. It was just- high enough for the Lions to edge Michigan State, 53-55. It is such grit which helped Foster to be elected captain of the 1951 harriers. But another blessing, aside from “intestinal fortitude,” which helped him to the captaincy was excellent coaching. Except for the latter, Dud could never have improved as he did from a PIAA mile runnerup for Berwyn High. Long attracted by the names of Stone and Ashenfelter as symbols of Nittany distance running great ness, Dud came to State. Finished 7th in IC4A Modest Dudley in his first sea son on State’s varsity last fall finished seventh in the intercol legiate title run. He ran second most of the way even though as his coach put it “he didn’t be long there” by comparison with the other runners’ capabilities. Dud is a C&F senior who should graduate in June,except that Un cle Sam has other plans. Dud be longs to the 112th Aircraft Con trol and Warning Squadron, Na tional Guard of State College which will be activated Dec. 1. Captain Dud of the' harriers will be “busted” to plain Air Force Corporal, Foster. Dudleyisms: When he gets out, Dud hopes to finish graduation credits and then , sell,- insurance . . . Dud, a good looking SAE, with close-cropped hair, is , five feet nine inches and a. perfect running weight of 135 . . . The kid who tangled in a baton pass m a seventh . grade relay, and who still possesses no great speed or picture form has come a long way. West Dorm Chorus To Hold Auditions Women’s auditions for the West Dorm Chorus will be held from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. tomorrow in 109 Carnegie Hall. ! The- chorus, which is open- to residents of the West Dorm area, is a part of the resident counsel ing program. It will be formed when-customs are over. Men are to audition Sunday. The time and place' will be posted on the West Dorm bulletin board. Darrell Rishel, West Dorms, and Jack Huber, Nittany-Pollock Dorms, will direct the group. Public appearances will be ar ranged. Finished 20ih Lack of Hinders After the fourth week of daily practice sessions concluded, Pehn State will, face its first test of the soccer season when Bucknell pays the College a visit Saturday. In Bucknell, the Lions will no doubt try to iron out the rough spots in preparation for its first taste of tough competiiion in Army. State will journey to West Point October 12. ' - .Lineups Set Penn State’s starting lineup for both contests seems to be fairly well set. The .only thing that might cause trouble among State ranks is the lack of exper ience. ■ Bagoonies Win First Grid Contest By SAM PROCOPIO An alert Bagoonie team de feated the Collegians, 6-0, scoring in the second half after an inter ception, to get the independent touch football league underway last night. Thomas Cerasa intercepted a Collegian pass on the latter’s 25- yard, line. On the following play a pass'’from Michael Herzing to Robert Sutter to Ceraso scored the winning touchdown.,. Rally Fails The with less than a minute remaining in the game, intercepted a Bagoonie pass on the Collegian’s 47 yard line. The next play was a long forward pass to the 9 yard line, but was broken up ending the game. A 40-yard jump pass from Bill Mihalich to Glenn Brown high lighted the second independent game which Edinboro beat the Sadsacks, 6-0. An offside penalty erased an early first period TD for Edinboro which covered 80 yards. A late minute rally by the Sad sacks was to no avail.. The ball was on the Edinboro seven yard line when the final whistle blew. Dinks Win In another close' contest the Dinks scored on a 12-yard pass from Richard Carson to Terry Stover to defeat Dorm 28, 7-0. Carson passed to James Wool for the extea point. The Dinks brought the ball from deep in their own territory to score the touchdown. A good defensive game, however, was played in the second half despite a muddy field. • Dorm 38 edged the Mountain eers, 1-0, in an overtime period in the final game of the evening’.' Ted Halkedis passed to Edward Seginak to get Dorm 38 past the 50-yard stripe. This is what de termines the winner of an over time contest. Sigma Nu, defending fraternity champions, trounced Alpha Zeta, 25-0, to remain unbeaten over a two-year period in a game which was played Monday night.
