PAGE - EIGHTEEN S. cer r for Openers Wernerrnen Paced By Hoban, Smith By HERM WEISKOPF Two aces are nice to have, but they don't always guarantee 'a winning hand, and no one is surer of this than Chick Werner, head Nittany track coach. Red Hollen and Lamont Smith are the two aces in the Lion cross-country line-up. When playing poker one can deal from the bottom or stack the deck, but this is not so in cross country. Stamina, ambition and fleetness are the foundation upon which the team is built. Out of practice sessions, which will start as soon as candidates report, Werner hopes to come up with the added depth needed to round out a winning team.' The amicable coach pointed to Don Austin, Jack Chillrud, and Jim Hamill as his main hopes to fill in these gaps. . Little help can be expected from last year's freshmen, since they did not compete in cross-country. Last year's team boasted a four and one mark, defeating Cornell, NYU, Manhattan, ' and Ar my while losing to Michigan State. 'ln the IC4A championship meet the Lions placed fourth, finishing behind Michigan State, Army and Syracuse. Hollen posted a time of 25:13 as he finished sixth. Hamill placed 11th, Smith 28th and Chillrud 57th. By the time the Cornell hill and-dalers arrive here for the opening meet of the campaign, Werner hopes he will have a few Other high cards to go along with his two aces. Maybe he will even have a few extra aces stuffed up his sleeve by that time.

BEAVER SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1953 Ten Vet Booters Will Bolster Squad Ken Hosterman, new Nittany soccer coach, will have a job on his hands trying to fill the vacan cy left by Bill Jeffrey. He has one consolation, though—Jeffrey may be gone, but some of the players he. trained are still around. Among returnees fr o m last year's top-notch team ' are such high scorers as Jack Pinezich, Lynn Thomann and Bill Norcik. Other men from last season's team, which lost only to Navy, include Don Shirk, Joe Mijares, Ralph Hofman, Hap Irvin, Huber Kline, Paul Dierks, an d Red Harris. Graduation ended the college careers of such stalwarts as Kurt Klaus, Ellis Kocher, and Frank Penmen Pinezich is the outstanding re turnee, and Hosterman will prob ably be expecting a lot of him. Operating from his center for ward slot last season, he estab lished a new all4ime scoring rec ord, by. tallying 23 markers. Last season's team had a record of seven wins, one loss and one tie. The team possessed a fine balance. It displayed a high-scor ing attack and a tight defense. Practice will start as loon as enough candidates arrive, foster man said. He said he felt he had a good nucleus around which to build a team, but he would have to "concentrate do rebuilding the entire halfback line." Hosterman expressed approval of the schedule, which has the Lions on the - - road for the first four games and then at home for four out of the last five.
