Win Streak
By JOHN SHEPPARD
Penn State’s cross-country
runners pose a serious threat
to snap Army’s 15 straight
dual meet winning string
when the two teams renew
hill-and-dale rivalry over the
5-mile'home course this afternoon.
The meet will start about 1:46
p.m. on t h e Beaver Field oval.
The 24 harriers will then proceed
to the golf course and finally fin
ish -up on cinder straightaway
nearest to the press box during
the half.
In the Lions’ second dual meet
with Army in the 20-year reign
of Coach Chick Werner, two un
defeated thinclad teams are pit
ted against each other, with the
victor being tabbed as first in the
East. ~
The Army flock, which has
been rolling along in .high gear
all season, has yet to meet a com
bine as spunky as the Lions. The
pressure will be on the Soldiers
this afternoon and anything is
liable to happen.
Horace Ashenfeller, Curt
Stone arid Bill Ash—Penn
State’s three 1952 Olympians
y will serve as officials in today's
meet.
Stone, Bill Ash and another
erstwhile distance, runner,
w George Harvey, will serve as
timers. Horace will referee.
Victors over Villanova, Provi
dence, and Dartmouth this fall,
Coach Nate Cartmell boasts of a
team that has good balance and
f better strength in the lower slots.
Captain Bob Day, Bill Cory,,
Lew Olive, and Dick Neu have
been the main point-gatherers for
the West Pointers.
This will be the first time in
three weeks that Cory will be
running in competition.

. After Army’s impressive show
ing in its opener with the Main
Liners, Cartmell surmised- that his
forces could win without the ser
vices of Cory. The former Lion
mentor ordered Cory to rest up
i 311(3 concentrate on today’s tilt.
This afternoon the 22-year-old
thinclad will spring into action
and attempt to play a major role
•, in preserving his squad’s formid
able log.

class ranking, should be prominent figures in today's meet with
Army. All three Lion harriers competed in the NCAA champion

Sports Briefs
NEW YORK (IP) —Football fans who uphold the positive side of
the argument that the Midwest produces the nation’s best college
football can find some support in today’s program.
All the best teams won’t be playing in the area which embraces
the Big Ten and Big. Seven conferences, of course, but a listing
of the day’s major clashes indi
cate fhat the word “big” isn’t mis
used this time,
Not trying to rate them in or
der of importance, the major mid
western clashes are Oklahoma vs.
Kansas, Syracuse vs. Michigan
State, Washington State vs. Ohio
State and Notre Dame vs. Purdue.
A second bracket includes three
games of traditional importance
claiming the victory if their
third, fourth, and fifth men can
edge Army’s middle depth. This
factor will decide the outcome of
today’s race.
Werner will use the same 12
harriers that ran in the Cornell
meet last weekend.
They are Captain Jack Homer,
Stan Lindner, Bob Gehman,
Bob Roessler, Red Hollen, Jim
Cressman, Lament Smith, John
Chillrud, Don Austin, Skip Slo
cum, and Doug. Weiss.
Of the group, Horner, Hamill,
and Hollen placed in the first 20
last year. Smith ran, but failed
to finish.

Citadel Gains Tie
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (£>)—'The
Citadel pulled a big surprise to
gain a 7-7 football tie with Fur
man yesterday and barely missed
victory in the final period.
A crowd of about 7,000 saw
the Southern Conference game at
the Orangeburg County Fair
Grounds.
Offsides and backfield in mo
tion penalties cost the Citadel
the game. What would have been
the winning touchdown was nul
lified. ..
The Citadel went into the lead
in the second period with a touch
down set up by a beautiful 34-

High-Scoring Soccermen
Meet Dangerous Middies
by 808 SCHOELLKOPF
Penn State’s high-scoring soccer team will swing into
action this morning for the third time of the young hooter
season when it clashes with always-dangerous Navy.
The match, scheduled for 10 a.m. on the baseball diamond,
will be the first of three athlet:
Homecoming crowd. Navy’s visit
to the Lion soccer grounds marks
the first Middie boo ter match, to
be held at Penn State in five
years.
The Jeffreymen will present a
trio of goal-producing kickers in
Jack Pinezich, Lynn Th'omann,
and Bill Norcik. The former leads
the Nittany scoring parade with
nine goals to his credit, while
Thomann and Norcik have regis
tered four each.
Staunch Defense
The spirited Middie eleven will
have a tough nut to crack in try
ing to boot the ball past the
staunch Lion defense, the tough
est part of which is the right and
left fullbacks. Coach Bill Jeffrey
intends to keep his defense intact
with Hap Irvin and Paul Dierks
at the fullbacks and Red Harris
at goalie.
Jeffrey will have two other
scoring potentials in his forward
wall today in Don Shirk and Ellis
Kocher, at inside left and inside
right, respectively. The former
has one goal to his credit this
season, while the latter has found
the net on two occasions.
In the three halfback slots,
Jeffrey will- have a solid trio of
booters—Captain Kurt Klaus,
Frank Follmer, and Ralph Hof
mann—who shine on both offense
and defense.
Stale Ties Navy, 2-2
The Navy booters, coached by
Floyd “Glenn” Warner; will be
seeking their second win in a row
today, having soundly whipped
Haverford, 5-1, last Friday at
Annapolis. State’s booters, who
have tallied 21 goals against only
one for the opposition this sea
son, will be after their third
straight conquest.
Last season the Midshipmen
sported a 5-3-2 log. One of the
ties was a 2-2 overtime match
with the . Jeffrey charges at the
Naval Academy. Two years ago
the Lion booters pulled out a
close one with the Middies, 1-0,
