Spartan
Ashenfelter Leads
Lions to Victory
With 25:49.7 Mcrrk
By JAKE HIGHTON
History repeated istelf Satur
day when for the second straight
year a strong Michigan "State
cross country team folded before
a Penn State squad which showed
surprising strength for a team
depleted of much of its 1950 na
tional champions.
One national . champ was left
however and the Spartans knew
it as Bill Ashenfelter, for the first
time this season, flashed the form
with .tviuch he led the Lion har
riers in ’ every meet last fall.
Big Bill repeated last year’s
personal triumph over MSC by
romping to a withering 25:49.7
five-mile victory on the Lion
course. So capably guided, the
Lion team also repeated its ’5O
win by a decisive 19-41 count
which. was' almost the same as
last fall’s 19-43 score.
M S Captain Quits
Further striking resemblance
to the 1950 meet was'that Spar
tan. Captain Jim Kepford, just as
Warren Druetzler did one year
ago, cracked and then quit % of
a mile from home at a time when
MSC appeared to be making a
strong bid for victory.
In this third successive Lion
victory of the season, Penn
State’s sensational frosh Lamont
Smith at last proved Jthat he was
human by losing the first x
country race Of his life.
As it was, Smitty was still sen
sational in taking third place,
although it might not have ap
peared so. to the crowd. For 4%
miles Smitty ran along side of
a- Bill Ash .near his best. The
veteran Ash’s pace was too swift
for a mere frosh, not to mention
many other .veterans, and Smitty
staggered the last 600 yards on
guts alone.
Spartan Edges Smith
Spartan Lyle' Garbe overtook
Smith just outside the stadium
to cop second place and the only
MSC position before eighth. He
ran 26:02. '
Nittahies Dud Foster, Jack
Horner and- Red Hollen rallied
over the closing stages to tie
three ways for fourth and the
final Lion scoring positions with
a 26:26.5 clocking.
Penn State runners rattled off
a 64, second -first quarter and by
the time they reached one mile
in 4:50 they' were nearly all
grouped in front, with the,Spar
tahs massed not far behind.
By the 2% mile mark Ash and
Smitty had. taken a 20-yard lead
with Foster running third and
Hollen fourth.
At three miles Smith and Ash
led in 15:11 but Kepford and
Garbe had pulled up to a con
tending second. Wayne Scutt
and several other Spartans began
to move up to make the Lion
outlook none too bright.
At four miles with' Kepfqrd
and Garbe close in pursuit of
Ash and a tired ..“Smith, Lion
prospects hadn’t brightened.
Suddenly Kepford quit near the
4Vi mile mark and the result
was fixed. Just before crossing
the road for the stadium, Ash
pulled away from a fatigued
Smith who was helpless to pre
vent Garbe from passing him just
outside the gate: .
Smitty’s guts showed plainly

Bill Ash Named
Athlete of Week
The Daily Collegian’s choice for
its fourth athlete of the week
selection goes to Bill Ashenfelter,
ace of Chick Werner’s undefeated
cross-countrymen.
Big Bill definitely regained his
form of last season as he paced
the harriers to a 19-41 triumph
over Michigan State. Bill traveled
the igolf course trail'in 25:49.5,
the best time turned in this year
over the State course.
Thus, Ash continued his amaz
ing improvement. He was not in
top shape for the opening Pitt
meet and finished a lowly eighth.
Against Cornell he improved his
previous week’s time' about one
minute to tie with three team
mates for first place. Then Satur
day against the Spartans he low
ered his time almost another full
minute- as he led the hill-and
dalers tcf the tape.
Ashenfelter’s toughtest competi
tor was Lamont Smith, Nittany
freshman, who followed him most
of the way, - but finally fell be

third period when State resembled
Bill Jeffrey’s crew displayed a
that short spurt, left wingman
Charlie Snyder and center half
back Kurt Klaus netted goals for
the Nittany Lions to give them
a shortlived 2-1 lead.
Opportunities Slip .
State’s inability to cash in sev
eral opportunities plus the obvious
weakness in the center forward
spot combined to give State many
anxious moments. At the center
forward position, Jeffrey used five
men,- starting with Ellis Kocher.
After that in rapid order followed
Don Shirk, Jack Pinezich, John
Carroll, and Ron Coleman, as Jef
frey vainly attempted to find
some scoring punch.
One good thing about the game,
however, was that Jeffrey might
have come up with three sleepers
in Snyder, Carroll, and Bob Har
ris, the goalie.
All three players gave better
than-average accounts of them
selves, especially Harris, who may
have earned himself a starting
berth. Snyder also showed up
with some excellent soccer. It
was his goal, a booming shot that
hooked the goalie from 15 yards
out, that gave the Lions a 1-1
tie in the third period.
Navy Takes Lead
As to the contest itself, the
first period was on fairly even
terms. The Marylanders grabbed
a 1-0 lead when its captain and
left wingman, Gordie Jayne,
whistled a penalty kick past Har
ris at 11:06. Jayne was awarded
the kick on a blocking violation
by right halfback Frank Follmer.
State had its first real scoring
chance in the second quarter but
Navy was up to the occasion as
goalie Rex' Pickett smothered
Snyder’s shot after two minutes
had passed. > Four minutes later,
Coleman missed a shot from 25
yards.
, State Scores
At the opening of the" second
half, Jeffrey.kept his lineup in
tact except that he switched
Pinezich and Kocher. Pinezich
moved to center forward while
Kocher moved over to inside
right. This move paid off as State
tallied its two lpne goals of the
game.
In the two overtime sessions,
Jeffrey again made a switch as
he moved Coleman to center for
ward and Shirk to inside left.'
During this time, State had two
first-rate shots. One was on a
penalty kick by Snyder at a very
bad angle and (the other was a
shot by Kocher, which was
blocked.

way untouched. Leonard’s kick
was again good and Penn State
led 14-13 as the partisan crowd
went wild.

minutes before taking back the
