Lion Soccer, X-Country Practice to Begin
Boaters Sport
11 Lettermen
With eleven lettermen re
turning, of which nine were
first stringers last year, Coach
Bill Jeffrey bids fair to turn
out another top-notch soccer
team as his kicking lads get
practice underway today on
the golf course.
The amiable Scot Jeffrey was
pleased with. what he called a
"decent picture," but warned that
the key positions held by gradu
ated Captain Ron Coleman and
expert left-footer J a y Simmons
will be tough shoes to fill.
Last fall the Lions had their
"worst" season in several years,
winning five, losing one and tie-
ing two following championship
teams the two prior years. The
lone loss came 'at the feet of Ar
my, but the collegiate soccer
"Team of the Year," Temple, was
held to a draw by the Nittanies.
Jeff's returnees include the
Philadelphia halfback trio Cap
tain Kurt Klaus, Jack Charlton
and Fran Follmer, Paul Dierks,
Bob "Red" Harris, Bill Norcik,
Ellis Kocher, Jack Pinezich, Don
Shirk, Chuck Snyder and Hap
Irvin. Norcik, Kocher, Pinezich,
Shirk, Snyder and Irvin are front
linemen. Dierks is a back and
Harris a goalie.
Jeffrey reports several good
frosh prospects who, although not
eligible for the varsity, should
get plenty of seasoning.

Experien;ed Returnees Aid
IC4A Champion Harriers
When Coach Chick Werner opens his 20th season as head cross
country coach this week; he will have a strong nucleus of last year's
Intercollegiate hill-and-dale champions with which to work.
Captain Jack Horner, Lamont Smith, Red Hollen, Jim Hamill,
John Chilrud, and Bob Roessler are veterans of the campaign last
year which saw the Lions cop second successive IC4A honors and
miss by a whisker an attempt to
retain the 1950 National Collegi
ate title.
Norm Gordon, Werner's assist
ant, places the emphasis not on
the veterans returning but rather
on the new freshman and sopho
mores who will form teams in fu
ture years. Gordon . urges any
with the • desire to run; whether
with past experience records or
not, to come out for the team.
