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. Garrett fin
ished sixth, while Steel and Mc-
Kelvey placed 13th and• 14th re
spectively.
This is the second meet of the
campaign for the Blue and White
who beat the Big Red of Cornell,
19-39. It is also the first of three
straight away meets before the
IC4A and NCAA championships.
Gehrdes is Navy Coach
Three Midshipman, Charley
Cook, John Hurt and Norm Harp
er have all turned in good per-
formances this seasc n. Cook
placed fifth in a quadrangular
meet with St. -John's, Manhattan
and Syracuse as he paced the
Middies to second place. Hurt
finished tenth in the same meet.
Harper has been inconsistent so
far.- In the quadrangular meet he
could do no better than 21st;
however, he placed first in a dual
meet with Manhattan.
Jim Gehrdes, ex-Nittany hurd
ling star, who is now cross-coun
try coach at Annapolis will be
out to show his former teacher,
Lion Coach Chick Werner, that
he learrfed his lessons well. Wer
ner, on the other hand, will be
out to- demonstrate that he has
not lost his touch for developing
outstanding teams.
Big Game Ahead
Tremendous interest is building
in the' forthcoming clash of Penn
State and West Virginia at State
College• Oct. 31.
Keith Vesling, baseball captain,
and Jack Sherry, basketball cap
tain, both play on the Penn State
football team.

Out On a Limb
Fighting desperately to move back into first place in the
Daily Collegian football prediction contest, head Football Coach
Rip Engle has named Earl Bruce to represent the coaches in this
week's contest. The coaches dropped three games off the pace last
Saturday, when Al Michaels selected only eight winners from
the 15-game list.
Sam Proc - Opio, Collegian Sports Editor will be Bruce's main
objective this week. Procopio is sporting a .776 percentage to
hold the first place position, and Assistant Sports Editor Dick
McDowell is in the number two spot with a .750 mark.
The coaches are tied for third with staff writer Herm Weiskopf.
Both hold .716 marks.
Probably the most controversial game on today's selection
sheet is the Pitt-Northwestern battle. The four contestants have
split decisions an the outcome. Procopio and Bruce favor North
western, and McDowell and Weiskopf are picking the Panthers.
