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.

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.
