Harriers Lose
'Fearless' Trio
Chick Werner, Penn State cross-country coach, will have
a hard time fielding a squad comparable to last year’s un-
beaten harriers
The Lions’ “Triple-Trouble-Trio”, of Red Hollen, Lamont
Smith, and Doug Moorhead will not be intact this season,
Moorhead being the only returnee of the triumvirate. This
fearless threesome paced the
Lions to three dual meet wins,
a victory in a triangular battle,
and to third and fourth places in
the Intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletics of America
and National Collegiate Athletic
Association championships.
In only one regular season meet
did the Trio fail to finish one
two-three. That was against Mich
igan State when Moorhead
dropped to fourth.
Besides Moorhead, Werner will
be counting on help from Jim
Hamill, John Chillrud,. and Ted
Garrett. These three harriers
picked up some valuable points
for the Blue and White last sea
son. All have plenty of exper
ience and any one could turn into
a real standout
The top freshman distance run
ner last year, Paul Roberts, should
prove to be a big help. Other run
ners from last year’s team who
will be back this fall include Skip
Slocum, Dan Sutter, Jim Pastor
ius, and the Justin brothers, Don
and Bruce.
Last season’s hill-and-dalers
triumphed over Cornell in the
first meet. The Lions beat Navy
and Georgetown in a three-way
battle, and then nipped Michigan
State, the reigning IC4A and
NCAA titlists at the time. Man
hattan wasn’t as tough as had
been figured, and the .Wernermen
romped, 17-41, for an unblemished
record.
This year the Lions have a team
that could prove to be well bal
anced, with Moorhead leading the
pack and Hamill, Garrett, Chill
rod and Roberts filling in the
other four slots. This may not be
the way things work out, but
these five should prove to be the
nmdeoos of a good team.

3 Curriculums
The College of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics includes the rec
reation, health education, and rec
reation curriculums. Approximate
ly 300 students are enrolled.
Men in the College spend their
time in Recreation Hall near the
Nittany Lion Inn on the outskirts
of the campus. Coeds enrolled in
the College call White Kail’ home,
although they do make frequent
trips to Recreation Hall. White
Hall is the women’s recreation
building located on Shortlidge Road.
During the first two years of
study in these three curriculums,
emphasis is placed upon foundation
courses in the biological sciences,
physical sciences, social sciences,
and humanities.
The physical education major
activity fields are broken up into
eight week blocks. Thus a student
may take tennis as his major ac
tivity course for the first eight
weeks of the semester and basket
ball for the remaining eight weeks
of the semester.
