Penn State’s 26-point per

rock-ribbed Nebraska line
Saturday, but the Nittany de

solid stone wall to make more

Lacking-the scoring punch that
they flashed all season inside the

away countless opportunities be

rooters.
The sunny Beaver Field shut
out—the gridders’ first since the
middle of the 1950 season—gave
the Lions their fourth win of the
season and left them in the dis

bruising defensive battle

lis year, a scoreless first half,
and saw the Lion ground attack
smothered with only 37 net rush
ing yards yielded by,, the Nebras
kians in the opening two periods.
Stalled at Goal
After incessant knockings at
the goal line, State hit the end
zone in the waning moments of
the third quarter via a Tony Ea
do’s to Jess Arnelle pass. Leonard
took second high-scoring honors
with an extra point and a dupli
cate of his only other collegiate
field goal kicked against the same
Big Seven lads last year.
The pattern of the entire game
was set in the first period. Both
offenses drove strongly an£ rolled
well until in the shadow of the
goal posts. Twice in the first quar
ter State held the ball deep in
Nebraska land but conked out.
Malinak Recovers
Early in the game State’s fierce
backerup Sam Green intercepted
a deflected pass and swept back
19 yards to the Husker 45. Rados
fired to end Joe Yukica —latter
removed from the game with a
torn knee ligament—who made
a neat diving catch for eight yards
and followed with another grab
of a Rados jump for a first down
on the 24. Then Nebraska’s fine
line swarmed in to stop the Lion
running attack in a manner which
became a habit in the first half.
One series of downs later guard
Don Barney bolted through the
line to block a Johnny Bordogna
punt and State’s standout defen

ball at the Husker 37. Unable to
move, Ted Kemmerer kicked out

LAMONT SMITH, swift sophomore cross country runner, was as
tired as. he looked above after covering the five-mile golf course
and finished on the Beaver Field track. Smitty had just bucked the
wind and Army's undefeated team to win with the good time
of 26:35.4. Red Hollen and Jim Hamill came in behind Smitty to
help give the Lions a 21-35 victory which snapped the Cadets un
beaten string.
Cadets Running Streak
Snapped By 21-35 Loss
An era of unparalleled cross-country running ended for
Army Saturday afternoon on the Beaver Field course.
After going through three consecutive unbeaten seasons
and running up an amazing st:
out a loss, the Cassions were
spunky Penn State distance team.
It was the Cadet’s first loss of
the 1952 campaign against three
wins, while State’s log now reads
2-0.
With the exception of' one
point, the Lion’s conquest was a
carbon copy of Army’s feat last
fall. At that time, State’s hill
and-dale squad had run up a
string of nine consecutive dual
victories until the West Pointers
stymied their running attack,
22-35, over the Hudson course.
Paced by sophomore Lamont
Smith, the Blue and White thin
clads pressed the Soldiers
throughout the entire five-mile
race and claimed the victory on
the basis of gaining first, second,
third, sixth, and ninth place.
Army won fourth, fifth, seventh,
eighth, and eleventh place to ac
count for its 35 tallies.
Despite a strong wind as he was
running -the second and fourth
mile, Smith set a terrific pace to
lead the flock across the finish
line in 26.35.4 —his fastest clock
ing this season. Junior Red Hollen
placed second; soph Jim Hamill,
third; Captain Jack Horner, sixth;
and Stan Lindner, ninth.
