Werner Says Lost to Good "A good Army team just licked us," is Lion cross country Coach Chick Werner's frank summary to answer the "whys" behind Penn State's first x-country loss in dual competition since 1949. Although the Army course was completely unfamiliar, Werner claimed it to be one of the best laid out since it was neither too easy or too hard. In fact it wasn't even as tough as the Lion team figured it to be. The fact that it was the Lions' first away meet didn't help the State chances. But a more con crete reason for losing their first dual meet after nine straight wins is simply that the same team that trounced Michigan State the week before was a faint resemblance to itself running against Army. Lions Weaker Than In '5O Although State's losing comes as a shock to most because the Lions have made such a habit of winning lately, the truth is that this year's Lion team is not so well provided with depth as the 1950 squad. - Coach Werner took the loss in stride with truism that "more is learned by losing than while win ning." What has been learned will r emain unknown until Penn State next meets Army in the Intercollegiates on Nov. 19. At any rate, the loss takes the pressure off the Lions. No longer considered unbeatable, opposing teams are not likely to be as tense and scared as they were when facing a national champion team with a long winning streak such as the Lions had had. Only Two Lions at Peak Another thing which hurt the Penn State harriers against the Army was the fact that only two men of the seven man team which went to the Point ran up to par. Bill Ashenfelter did all that was expected by running second behind Intercollegiate champion Dick Shea. Second Lion finisher in fifth place was the imperturbable Red Hollen. Red ran a good race and with a half mile to go was leadingQ both . Cadets Lou Davis and Bob Day. Without the usual support of teammates Jack Horner and Dud Foster, Red wasn't able to prevent both Davis and Day from passing him. Horner's seventh place wasn't too bad, but Foster, Jim Hamill, Pete Sarantopolous and Lamont Smith disappointed. Remember .... hunting season opens Thursday,. Nov. 1 Remember ....

STATE Ce=-:...I*.VGE, .PEI N'6YLVANIA Lions Team GiiddekloP West Virginia, Prepare For Purdue Contest Lions Coß3rd Win in Tight Contest,l3-7 By ERNIE MOORE With the Purdue game on tap for this weekend the Nittany Lion gridders went back to prac tice yesterday afternoon with the belief that they will have to make a •better showing against Purdue Saturday than they did in de feating West Virginia, 13-7, last weekend. "We are going to have to be at our best if we are going to beat Purdue. They're big and their quarterback Dale Samuels is one of the best passers in the coun try," Coach Rip Engle said yes terday. As to the West Virginia game last Saturday, Rip felt that the Lions made too many mental mistakes, pointing out instances where an offside or backfield in motion penalty hindered Penn State's offensive game. Come From Behind In winning their third game of the season, • the Lions had, to come from behind for the fifth straight time to turn back the scrappy ball club from West Vir ginia University, 13-7. For three quarters, the Moun taineers held the favorite Lions at bay by clinging tenaciously to a 7-6 lead. But as the fourth quar ter progressed, Penn State's stronger offense couldn't be de nied and the Lions pushed over the winning touchdown. As a team, the Lions played probably their poorest game of the season. Statistically, Penn State' outplayed West Virginia, running up more yardage along the ground and through the air. It was the scoring punch that was missing from -the Lion at tack, State' 13 points scored against the ountaineers repre sents the lowest score the Lions have posted in five games. Mountaineers Score First During the first half, Matt Yan osich, soph fullback, was the only consistent gainer for Penn State, although halfback Ted Shattuck played a big part in the lone touchdown 'drive in the first half. Shattuck also carried five consecutive times in the second scoring drive in the final quar ter. . West Virginia's 'first and only score came in the first period as a result of a Penn State fumble. It took only nine plays for the Mountaineers to take an early lead in the game. On Penn State's first play friim scrimmage, Shattuck fumbled and Bowman Watson recovered for West Virginia on the State 47 yard line. ,On third down, quar terback Gerald Mclnerney hit end Bill Marker with a pass on the 30, but when clipping was de tected, the Mountaineers took. the penalty, moving the ball to the State 29 yard line. An offside penalty moved the ball back to the 34.

Ten minutes later, • Shirk whistled a hard shot past the Colgate goalie from ten yards out. As a preliminary to 'Shirk's' outstanding performance, right wingman Bill Norcik gave the Nittany Lions an early lead when at 16:15 of the 'opening stanza he drove in from outside to tally. Shirk Turns Tide • Colgate tied the count in 'the second period when the . Red Raiders' left i sideman • Diek Smith scored on a loose ball.; in front of the goal. . ' After Smith's goal, it was all over as far as Colgate was con cerned as Shirk came into the game in the . third period and proceeded to turn the tables. , Coach Bill Jeffrey, however, was not too impressed with the Lion performance. "We should have won the match in the second quarter. when the ball was in Colgate's terri tory practically the whole per iod," he said. "We didn't look so good as we did against Mary land," Jeffrey added.
