TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1955 Lion Harriers Bow to Navy In Opener, 22-39; Moorhead 2d Navy’s margin over Penn State’s cross-country squad in pre-season practice stood out in bold, print at Annapolis, Md., Saturday, when the Mid dies downed the Lion harriers, 22-39, in the first outing of the ■ season for both teams. Chick Werner's vanity cap tain, Doug Moorhead, and Nit tany ruanor Don Woodrow managed to place second and fourth respectively, but from there on it was all Navy. Moor head led the pack at the l’/a mile mark. The Middies, entering the al lowed maximum of 12 runners, ran away with 12 of the first 15 places, with Lion A 1 Jones sand wiched in at 13th. The remaining quartet representing . the Lions, Paul Roberts, Norm Shoup, Bruce Austin, and Ron Lewis brought up the rear in that order. Walt Meukow, Academy jun ior who took second place be hind Moorhead last year when the Lions bowed to the Middies, raced to top honor* Saiurday, covering toe X 8 mile course in Penn State Sports— ON mA THE ZK2 LINE Seems as though the “cry” that went out from Army Thursday night held little water when game time rolled around Saturday at West Point. Bob Kyasky, who was reportedly sidelined with a sprained knee, dressed, and although he was used only on occasion, he did play. Dick Murtland, who was supposed to have been suffering from a “severe” charley horse also played —to say the least —and reeled off one 34-yard gallop,to prove how bad off he was! * * * And if Coach Red Blaik does have anybody on the crippled list frim his backfield, who cares? He came up with a .surprise shift with regular fullback Pat Uebel moving in at left half to spell Murtland. For fullback he called on John Barta, a sophomore, and Bob Hunger, also a soph, for right half. All performed with exceptional proficiency to say nothing of senior Pete Lash who spelled Hunger. Blaik doesn't hit e four horses for his backfield ... he has eight, and maybe more for all we know. TIP TO MICHIGAN: lumor at the Point has it that Mike Zeigler will be off the dis ciplinary hook for Saturday’s tilt. Seems there’s a custom at the Point that if a foreign dignitary visits the School, such cases are dismissed upon his arrival. The rumor claims a Belgian Prince is on the way for Saturday’s Army- Michigan tilt. HERE'S ANOTHER RUMOR Seems as though some of the Penn Staters felt the refs were partial—to Army. Not us. Only 20:25. Since the two teams broke in a new course Satur day, Meukow's time established a course record. Werner said yesterday that the practice edge the Middies held over the Lion runners—over a month—definitely was one of the major factors resulting in the Middle win. He said his runners couldn't have possibly been in desirable physical condition for. Satur day's Opener with only a little mote than two weeks pre-sea son practice under their bells. "The boys did their best under the conditions," he said, "but Navy’s manpower and better con dition proved to be too much.” Moorhead’s second-place time was 20:42, and Woodrow came in at 21:13. Meukow. bettered his 1954 lime by 57 seconds, and Moor head knocked 34 seconds off his time for last year's Navy-Penn Stale meeting. Werner, with only a skeleton seven-man varsity squad to work with at the present, yesterday learned of another factor that will hamper the Lions’ chances of finishing the current season in By ROY WILLIAMS Sports Editor ten penalties were called and the longest—ls yards—was against Army for offensive'holding. Nope, from where we were sit ting it was a rough and tumble gapie, but the refs weren’t partial. Penn State expected the former, and got it. Army’s spirit is something that has to be seen and heard to understand—from the Cadets to the team. On the final play of the game, Moore—running back a punt—was gang-tackled by sev en Cadet third-stringers. The other four were standing around him. As. for the Cadets, they scream ed and yelled, and cheered in uni son “We want Moore” each time he left the game. Even being asked to be quiet so the players could hear the signals being called, they raved on! MOORE SHINES FOR LIONS Moore displayed the reason why he’s the Lions’ bid for All- Ameriea. On practically every play he was hit by a host of black-jerseyed gridders that di verted their attention from the Lions’ three other backs. He not only scored on a fancy bit of swivel-hipped running from the eight, but he also intercepted Don't We Have Your Belongings!
