SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1953 Trackmen Meet Two Foes Today Today's triangular cross-coun try meet at the Naval Academy between Georgetown, Navy and the Lions will go a long way to ward answering some vital ques tions. In the first place, it will pro vide a good yardstick for measur ing how good this year's harrier team really is. All three entries have strong teams and the win ning combination will have to show good balance. Secondly, it will determine how well Red Hollen has recovered from his injury in the Cornell meet. Hollen, one of the finest hill-and-dalers in the east, hurt his foot while covering the hard ened ground on the golf course layout. Second Meet for Lions A third question which may be answered concerns the sopho mores on the present Nittany team. This will be the first away meet for the Lions and should give the sophs a chance to show their true abilities. Doug Moor head, Ted Garrett, Jim. McKelvey and Ed Steel are the second year men who will be competing against the Middies and the Hoyas. In the Cornell meet Moor head tied for first with Hollen and Lamont Smith.

It is also the first of three straight away meets before the IC4A and NCAA championships.
