hattan at State College. This is the last cross-country meet fo:
the Lions. Highlight of today's meet will be the contest betwean
Smith, State's sophomore distance ace, who is one of the principal
reasons why the Lions own a 3-1 log, and Frank Egan, Captain
of the Jaspers, who has been their number one bright spot.
Today's contest between th e
Jaspers and Lions marks the end
of the dual meet season for both
squads. The State thinclads de
fend their IC4A crown in New
York City Nov. 17. The follow
ing week they vie for NCAA
honors at East Lansing, Mich.
Meet Decides IC Lineup
Currently sporting a 34 record,
Coach Chick Werner's distance
corps w ill enter today's meet
with a double incentive in mind.
Besides hoping to beat Manhat
tan it will be competing for
starting berths on the IC4A team
which will represent State.
Werner's "time trial" action
was a smart move in that the
men of Coach Ben Eastman will
not be too tough; consequently,
there's a natural tendency for
the runners to let up. But since
today's results will decide who
will be the starting seven in the
IC's, the Lion hill-and-dalers will
shoot the works.
The Lion harriers are favorites
to trump Manhattan. And there's
no reason why they shouldn't be
rated that way.
On the basis of seasonal rec
ords, there's no comparison.
State's log reads 3-1. while Man
hattan's is 1-4.
Lost Metropolitan Crown
State has successfully outrun
Cornell, Army and NYU, losing
to Michigan State.
Manhattan has lost to Army,
whom State beat, and Villanova.
and placed fourth in a quad
rangular meet which included
Syracuse. Navy, and St. John's.
Tu-)sday it dropped the Metro
nolitan Intercollegiate title to St.
John's.
An additional reason why
Stag is favored ha: to deal with
the home course angle. It's been
a long time since the Lions have
lost on their home grounds, and
they always seem to run their
best races over the hilly Nittany
course.
Werner Names 12 Runners
Today's weather should play
a major role in the time element.
State's course is so map - oed out
that for a larger part of the race,
the harriers are running directly
into the .wind.

big reason is a fellow named
Frank Egan. The Jasper captain
has been a consisten front runner
for the Kelly Green. He's kept
pace with some of the best har
riers in the East and hopes to
maintain his standing as Man
hattan's individual star.
HoHen Strong Contender
The Smith-Egan race should
be one of the main highlights of
today's meet. Although Egan has
run a 26:11, as compared to Smith
26:35. look for . Smith to come
through when the chips are down.
Red Hollen, State's junior ace,
has been steadily improving his
times and could surprise both
Egan and Smith in their battle
for individual honors.
If Captain Jack Horner ca n
shake off his always troublesome
meet-jitters, he could garner a
low scoring slot for the Nittanies.
Other regulars who will go all
out to place in the scoring col
umn are Jim Hamill, Stan Lind
ner, John Chillrud, Doug Weiss,
Bob Gehman, Bob Roessler, Don
Austin, and Jim Cressman.

Swim Goes
Into Semis
Delta Sigma Phi and Phi Delta
Theta advanced to the semi-fi
nals of the intramural swimming
tournament last night with close
victories over Alpha Tau Omega
and Delta Upsilon.
Despite Jerry Maurey's f irst
place efforts in- the 60-yard free
style and,the diving events, Delta
Upsilon dropped a close decision
to Phi Delta Theta, 23-18.
Joe Garrity led the Phi Delts
with his victory in the 60 back
stroke and his fine performance
on the winning 120 yard relay
team of Bud Cole m a n, Tom
Smith, Jay Barclay and Garrity.
Tad Potter's victory in the 60
yard breast was the margin of
victory for the Phi Delts.
Ned Shields, Delta Sigma Phi's
one man gang, was too much for
a well balanced Alpha Tau
Omega team. Even though Al
pha Tau's Bruce Coble and Jay
Foulkrod Won firsts in the 60
rod racked up firsts in the 60
backstroke and the 60 breast
stroke respectively, Shields off
set them with firsts in the 60
freestyle and the relay event,
where he anchored the team of
Jack Brougher, Dick Call. Tom
Forbee and Shields. Shields then
clinched the meet 22-18 with his
third first place in the diving
event. •
Last night's winners will face
each other in the semi-f inals
Monday night in the Glennland

Susquehanna Loses
its Star Halfback
SELINSGROVE, Pa. (JP —Two
knee injuries have apparently
ended the college playing career
of Dick Young, Susquehanna Un
iversity's 1951 all-state halfback.
Susquehanna Head Coach A.
A. Stagg Jr., said today that
Young has suffered bruised cart
ilages in both knees playing
against Juniata last Saturday and
is out for the season.

year, has games against Wagner
and Haverford left on its 1952
schedule.
Young, a senior. accounted for
79 points this season by throwing

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 19521
The powerful Lion booters,
still in the running for the Soc
cer Bowl bid, are favored to cap
ture both contests. If they do,
they will. carry a 5-1-1 record F
into Philadelphia next Saturday
when they meet the Temple
booters in a match that could de
cide who will get the bowl bid.
Lion booter Coach Bill Jeffrey
is optimistic about his team's
chances for the two games listed
on the current southern swing.
While awaiting the chartered
bus which was to guide the Lion
booters southward Thursday
night, Jeffrey predicted it would
be a successful road trip with
the Nittanies bringing back the
"booter bacon."
A last-minute change in the
hooters making the jaunt was
qiven by the soccer mentor. Emil ,
Borra, who suffered a bruised
ankle in the Army game, is still
handicapped by the injury and
did not make the trip. Sixteen
booters made the excursion to e
North Carolina.
Aside from the starters. Jeff
rey took five extras, including
Gale Robbins, who subbed very
capably in the Army game for
Paul Dierks; Don Dutrow, senior
halfback from Centre Hall; Lynn
Thomann. who may be a last- t
minute starter if Jack Pinezich's
leg doesn't hold up; and Ralph
Hofmann and Hubie Kline.
The latter has recovered al
most completely from a bad leg
injury that he receved the second (F:
week of the season and may see
limited duty in either the Tar
heel or the Blue Devil clash. v
Jeffrey will use the same men ,
in his attack, with the possible
exception of ace goal-getter Pine- '
zich, whose left knee is still weak.
However, if the Nittany boat
ers' offense slows down Jeffrey 4
will put Pinezich back in his cen
ter forward slot, where he has
led Lion scorers all season with
12 goals. Jeffrey did this in the t
Cadet contest after the Lion of
fense momentarily bogged down
and was rewarded when Pinezich
tied the score 1-1 with a long r
goal.
Other men in the Lion forward
wall include Bill Norcik and Joe
Mijares at the two wings, and /
Ellis Kocher and Don Shirk at
inside left and inside right. At
the halfbacks will be the three
Philadelphians— J a c k- Charlton,
Frank Follmer, and Captain Kurt
Klaus.
