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. Werner stressed the fact that the meet
will not be official.

1948 and 1952 Olympic games.
Horace Ashenfelter and Stone ran
together for several Nittany cross

Need Rain
Werner said he was not sure
who would run against the alum
ni. Several runners, Red Hollen,
Jim Pastorius and Don Austin,
reported injuries after Saturday's
meet with Cornell. 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. The harriers
had only one day's practice dur
ing the week of the Cornell meet
because Werner said
might suffer shin splints

Jim Garrity, second State grid

The NCAA rates pass receivers

The - sterling Lion end has been

His role in the pass plays ac

These two Blue and White stal

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

'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

Haven was scheduled. Now, Nit

still another opponent for some
time later in the season.

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.

ing in the first half.
The Lovers had an opportunity
to score in. the second half when
Wally Cook took a: 60-yard oass
and doWned the ball on the • Fire
balls' 30. At this point the Fire
balls' defense held.
The elusive Laska ended the
night's scoring by intercepting a
pass and throwing to Chick
Young standing alone in the end
zone.
All the Bearcats needed io
overcome the Phantoms was a
first half touchdown pass from
John Clark to Bob Nieman to
Dick Bowman. . The Phantoms
!ailed 'to figure out the Bearcats'
defense in the second half and
the game ended 6 to 0.
The right arm of Ben Harvey,
Tau Kappa Epsilon, topped Sigma
Chi, 1-0, in overtime. Frank Rich
put Sigma Chi into the TKE's
territory in the overtime but on
the next play Harvey threw to
Walt Cron to overcome the play
and gain the victory_
Alpha Zeta 'defeated a stub
