LENNY MOORE, and Lion Coach Rip Engle are a pretty happy
pair here after the Penn State halfback set a new Penn State
rushing mark against Holy Cross Saturday. Moore brought his
season total to 843 yards. Moore and the rest of the Penn Stale
regulars played only 25 minutes as the Lions easily defeated the
Crusaders, 39-7.
More Gri A
Could Fall
Three more long-standing records will go to the firing
line again this week when Penn State meets spirited Rutgers
University Saturday at Beaver Field.
Lenny (The Ghost) Moore, who shattered Shorty Miller's
Penn State rushing mark against Holy Cross Saturday, will
be going after two more himself and the Scarlet will be out
to keep an 85-game scoring streak intact.
Moore, with 843 rushing yards behind him, is just 188
yards behind the Penn State total offense record, also owned
by Miller. The Reading Flash also needs just two more
touchdowns to tie the touchdown
record set in 1938.
Has 2.5 Record
Rutgers, which has risen for
two consecutive victories after
losing its first five games, hasn't
been shut out in 85 games now.
Coach Harvey Harman's club
has become a fixture on the Penn
State schedule in the last few
years, and has been a traditional
toughy, even when the Lion clubs
have been heavy favorites,
Penn State has won four of five
games played with the Scarlet,
but only one game in the modern
series has been a runaway. Last
year Perin State trailed for a quar
ter but finally walked away with
a 54-13 verdict. However, the
other three games played since
1950 were won by margins of one,
four, and six points. The Scarlet
won, its lone game in a contest
played in 1918.
Came 'A Long Way'
Lion coach Sevor ',Tor) Toretti,
who scouted Harman's team, cred
its the Scarlet coach with bring
ing the team "a long way" in re
cent weeks.
"It's not easy to keep kids
scrapping after five straight loss
es, yet this team never lost its
spirit," Toretti said.
Rutgers came to life two weeks
ago after it had lost to Princeton,
Fordham, Colgate, William and
Mary, and Lehigh in succession.
The Scarlets whipped Temple
25-0 and last Saturday edged La
fayette, 7-0.
The Lions meanwhile have also
been a rising ball club. Rip Engle's
team has scored 72 points in two
weeks since losing two games at
mid-season to West Virginia and
Texas Christian.
Engle, who is proud of the way
his team has taken to the ground
after two seasons of air-minded
ness, feels that the Lion offensive
forces have reached their peak in
the last two weeks.
"That goal line stand and Penn
and the minus yardage (minus 36)
against Holy Cross would indicate
- that our line is pretty solid, too,"
he added.
The team is averaging over 346
yards per game and 278.6 on the
ground to keep the Lions among
the top ten rushing teams in the
nation.

Semi-Finals
Four intramural football .teams
entered the semi-final bracket of
the IM league as a result of vic
tories gained last night at Beaver
Field. Pollock 4 used a three-man
pass play to defeat the Geeche
Birds, 6-0," while Dorm 27 cap
italized on a poor punt to nip
the Comets, 7-0. In fraternity
quarter-final play, Delta Sigma
Phi topped Alpha Sigma Phi, 7-0
and Sigma Pi nipped Pi Kappa
Alpha, 1-0, overtime.
John Wagner had a hand in
both the set-up and the score it
self in the Pollock 4 triumph.
Wagner gave the winners posses
sion on their own 30 with an in
t :ception and on the next play
was the receiver of a sleeper pass
thrown by Bob Grefe. The play
carried to the Birds' 24. Seconds
later. Dick Kinsman lobbed a flat
pass to Grefe who in turn rifled
a scoring pass to Wagner in the
end zone.
Dorm 27 was caught deep in its
own territory late in the first half
folio wing a 60-yard punt by the
Comets' 13ill Haley. Dorm 27 punt
?.d out to its own 40. The Comets
completed a pass to the 20 and
appeared on the move when time
ran out. Ironically, it was a poor
Aunt that led to Dorm 27's touch
down.
Haley, kicking from his own
end zone, angled the ball out of
bounds on his own 20. Down-the
middle aerials from Chuck Rine
tr Red Bone and Ron Harris net
ted Dorm 27 its winning tally.
A 70-yard punt return involv
ing three players gave Alpha Sig
ma Phi its 7-0 victory. The score
came early in the - first period
when Joe Murphy gathered in a
Delta Sig punt on his own 30 and
started the TD-producing relay.
Murphy tossed a short pass to
Paul Mastrorocco whc immedi
ately forwarded to Tom Furbee.
The latter took the pass on Al
pha Sig's 40, eluded one man,
then cut to the right sideline to
cross the goal-line unmolested.
Pi Kappa Alpha fount itself 20
yards from Sigma Pi territory
wtih one overtime play remaining
and failed to make the necessary
yardage.

Werner Names
For IC4A Title
Cross-country Coach Chick Werner yesterday named six run
ners to compete in Monday's Intercollegiate Association of Amateur
Athletics of America championship race at Van Cortlandt Park, N.Y.
Don Mowry, John Chillrud, Don Woodrow, Jim Pastorius, Ted
Garrett, and Doug Moorhead are the six harriers Werner has defi
nitely decided to take to the 46th
IC4A title run.
Werner was uncertain about his
team's chances in this year's run
for the roses. This season the
squad finished with a record of
one win and four losses—the first
losing campaign since 1943.
Impressive In Practice
"The team,", Werner said, "has
done wonders in practice, but
against competition it has fallen
apart. I don't know how to feel
about the team. On Mondays they
have looked fine. On Saturdays
the boys are just not the same."
" Werner pointed out that on
Monday the harriers ran two
separate mile laps with a rest in
between. The results were amaz
ing
"In the first mile run," Werner
said, "the first runner finished at
4:24 and the last at 4:35. But the
second mile was even better; all
the boys finished together at 4:32."
Time Trial Sensational
Norm Gordon, assistant cross
country coach, said he was not
able to find any better times for
trial runs in the Nittany records.
"This goes for some of the best
teams we've ever had; even when
the Ashenfelter brothers( Bill and
Horace) were running," Gordon
pointed out.
Despite the fact that the Lions
did not turn in their usual spot
less record in regular-season com
petition, Werner has high hopes
for the team in the. IC4A title
race.
• "We refuse to give up on the
team, the Nittany mentor said,
"and we are certainly not going
to the IC's with a defeatist atti
tude. This team is good; not by
the coaches' estimation but by the
hands of the clock."
And, as in many other things,
it is time that tells the tale.
