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.

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. After Mc-
Inereny passed to Marker on the

Shirk Lea4s Soccermen
To Victory Over Colgate
Center forward Dori Shirk netted two goals in the final_ period
Saturday to give Penn State's soccer team a 3-1 victory over Colgate
at Hamilton, N.Y. ,
Shirk, who entered the contest in the third quarter for Hap
Irvin, took a bloop pass from left wingman Charlie Snydet and ,
headed a shot at 7:45 to give the Lions a 2-1 lead. 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.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29 (R)
Tennessee and Michigan State
clung to the No. 1 and No. 2
positions in the Associated Press
football poll today but the rest
of . the top fen? underwent a minor
shakeup.
NT is consin, which spoiled
Northwestern's perf e c t sea
son 41-0, showed the greatest
gain, leaping from the 14th notch
to No. 10. The Badgers replaced
Texas, which tumbled to 12th de
spite a 14-6 victory over Rice.
Illinois', Maryland and Prince
ton moved up on the strength of
impressive triumphs last Satur
day. Georgia Tech, Southern Cal
ifornia and Baylor lost a little
ground but stayed in the top
rankings. California held firm to
the No. 9 slot.
The Mini; whipped up with
Rose Bowl fever, moved into the
third position after humbling In
diana, 21-0, and sent unbeaten
Georgia Tech, close-shave 8-7
victor over Vanderbilt, skidding
to fifth.
Maryland also moved up a sin
gle rung to No. 4 on the strength
of its 27-0 rout of a. good Louis
iana State team.
The new prince of eastern foot
ball, Princeton, climbed from
eighth to sixth as a reward for
its 53-15 shellacking of Cornell
in the nation's game of the day.
Southern California, which had
a tight squeeze to get past Texas
Christian 28-26, fell from sixth to
seventh.
