Lion Runners Beat
By BERM WEISKOPF
Saturday there was a notice on the bulletin
board in the locker room of Rec Hall which read,
"Today the varsity cross-country team will run
against the Has Beans and Was .Nots."
The "Has Beens," composed of such topflight
stars as Bill Ashenfelter and Curt Stone, upheld
the honor of the alumni and proved that their title
was a misnomer. Although the . ex-Penn State har
riers lost by the narrowest possible score, 27-28,
they never lost the good humor that they brought
with them and which prevailed throughout the
meet.
An unexpectedly large crowd voiced its ap
proval when Olympians Ashenfelter and Stone
crossed the finish line deadlocked for first with a
time of 20:22. Varsity runners Lamont Smith, Doug
Moorhead, and Jim Hamill took the next three
positions. Their times were 20';30, 21:14, and 21:26
respectively.
Ashenfelter, Stone, and Don Austin were in the
lead at the two-mile poSt. Ash was clocked at 4:33,
Deception,Danser'sßlock
Aid Moore's Touchdown
State's end, Jesse Arnelle, recovered Sam Alexander's
fumble to start the Lions off on another TD. With Blockson
and Moore carrying the pigskin State had the ball on Syra
cuse's eight yard line. Rados completed a pass to co-captain
Don Malinak for four. Rados called time with fourth down
and four yards to go for a possible TD. Ehgle's call from the
bench led to the most beautifully executed play seen at Bea
ver Field in a long time.
The Lions were lined up
Moore to the left. On the snap
from center Ron Younkers crossed
from his right to left. Rados faked
and skillfully hande doff to
Moore. The entire Syracuse team,
except end Ray Perkins shifted
to the left. Tackle Gene Dancer,_
however, stepped back and nicely
blocked out Moore's only inter
ference for a TD. Jim Garrity
tied the score with the extra
point.
After an exchange of punts,
Syracuse had to acknowledge the
kicking formation once mor e.
This time, however, DeFalco step
ped in front of Ed Albright's
kick. The ball landed just a few
feet away from him, but the ever
alert Garrity picked up the ball
and scored. Garrity's extra point
was wide.
Bruce Yancey endeavored to
put Syracuse ahead with his pass
ing attack. On his third attempt
Engle's outstanding defensive and
offensive star, Moore, intercepted
his pass on State's 12 and scamp
ered up the sidelines. He was
finally stopped out of bounds on
the Orange 40. So was Syracuse.
The final reading, 20-14.

Scribes Lead Coaches
Sports Editor Sam Procopio
has forged into the lead in the
Daily Collegian football predic
tion contest as a result of Satur
day's collegiate football action.
Procopio correctly picked 11 of 15
games listed in this week's con
test to bring his overall total ,to 46
right, nine wrong, and five ties,
a .776 percentage. Tie games are
counted as misses in the contest.
Procopion jumped ahead of As
sistant Sports Editor Dick Mc-
Dowell and the Penn State foot
ball coaches, The three were dead
locked in first place prior to Sat
urday. McDowell guessed ten
games correctly Saturday. His
overall total now stands at 45-10-5,
one game behind Procopio.
The coaches, who were led Sat
urday by swami Al Michaels,
slipped badly, predicting only
eight games correctly. Rip En

while Stone and Austin were five seconds behind
him. Austin was the only Nittany runner in the
first three at that point. Ashenfelter increased his
lead at the two-mile marker when he was timed
in ' 9:50. Stone crossed at 9:57. Then came three
Lion stalwarts, Jim Hamill, 10:13, and Lamont
Smith and Doug Moorhead at 10:04.
Long-legged Bill Ashenfelter had his lead cut
by Stone as the runners swept past the three mile
post only one second apart. The bespectacled Stone
caught Ash a little before the three-and-one-half
mile point and from there they .raced side-by-side
to the finish line and a hearty ovation.
After the Lions nailed down the next three
berths Johnny St. Clair came • home sixth for the
"rocking chair runners." The Nittanies then cap
tured the following five slots to put the victory
in the bag.
Other alumni harriers who competed were Bob
Freebairn, 12th, Bob Parons, 13th, and Al Porto,
15th. HOrace Ashenfelter was unable to compete.
He had accepted an invitation to be a speaker on

What's buzzin', Cousin P
Asophomore at a midwestern college was bothered by buzz
ing in his ears and headaches. He went to doctor after doctor
... had his appendix and tonsils removed ... his teeth pulled.
But nothing helped: Finally, the doctors gave up and told
him he had only 6 months to live.
The young fellow decided to "live it up" for his last 6
months. First, he went to his college sportswear shop for the
smartest sport shirts money could buy. Naturally, he chose
Van Heusen's VAN GAB.
•"VAN GAB is completely washable," beamed the sales
man. "See the saddle-stitched trim about the collar and pock
ets. Feel the silky texture of the fabric. And only .55.95. With
a 15 neck like yours, I suggest a Medium size."
"Don't waste my time," snapped the fellow. ""Give me one
of each of the i 8 smart solid colors. Size .ri."
"But sir," gasped the salesman, "your neck is much larger
than a 14. You need at least a 15."
"I've worn a 14 all my life, and I don't feel like changing
now," replied the youngster, greatly annoyed.
"Okay," muttered the salesman. "But I warn you, that
tight collar will give yoU buzzing in the ears and headaches!"
