Plans ncertain; Stone, Ashenfelters on Roster One of the most colorful races in recent years may be run this Saturday at the College between members of the , cross country team and representatives from past Penn State squads Plans are still tentative and nothing is definite, Chick Werner, Nittany coach, emphasized yesterday. The alumni are not positive they can come, he said. Many of them have fami lies, or business obligations, and therefore they can not plan too far in advance.

Despite the pain, however, all three finished the race. The Lion coach placed the blame on the hard ground on the golf course which had to cover. He said that the lack of rain has hardened the ground a great deal.

Bill Ashenfelter May Compete Saturday rosh Gri• Tilt Canceled Agsin What is that phrase that makes the rounds about-nothing being certain excepts death and taxes? It has the freshman football squad of Coach Earl Bruce and Co. mumbling to themselves today, after learning that their scheduled game Saturday with Lock Haven State Teachers College JV's has been suddenly called off. This is the second cancel'ation this sea son, The reason for the sudden and Idisappointing action is that re ' cent games have left the Lock 'Haven squad rather deplete in imanpower. The Teachers were to I have brought to State College 'holdovers from their varsity squad, and those who saw little or no service in varsity games. But, due to a high injury total, Lock .Haven officials have found it impossible to spare any mem bers of the squad for JV action. This is the second postpone ment of the season so far for the gridders. Earlier, Penn •vas to have appeared on Beaver. Field Nov. 14. but the Quakers can celed the tilt. In their place Lock Haven was scheduled. Now, Nit tany officials are dickering for still another opponent for some time later in the season. As things stand now, Pitt will help the Lions open the 1953 card Oct. 24 on • Beaver Field. This shapes up as a top attraction for Curt Stone Former Lion Harrier Homecoming Weekend. It's no secret that the Panthers are on the way back up the football lad der and have, been bringing some top grade Western Pennsylvania grid talent to the Cathedral of Learning, the likes of which have not been seen since the glory days of the late Dr. Jock Sutherland in the 1930'5. The Nittany coaches, too, feel they have some fine talent with which to supply Rip Engle's var sity in the-future. The Lions seem to have a well-balanced offense, looking especially strong in the air. Bob 4ennings, one of three quarterbacks fighting for the starting berth, has been hitting receivers steadily in practice ses sions and may get the starting call against Pitt.
