Jaspers Stop Harriers, 22-3
Moorhead Second
in Final Lion Meet
By RON GATEHOUSE
As has been the story all season long ; --thel
Lion cross-country squad closed its Centen
nia campaign Saturday on a sour note, losing
to strong Manhattan in New York City, 22-39.
Running on muddy Van Cortland Park, the
Nittanies managed to place but two runners
among the first 10 to finish—consistent Cap
tain Doug Moorhead, second, and Don Wood
row, fourth.
The loss, fifth of the season for Chick Wer
ner's hill and dalers in as many dual meets,
marked.the first time in 15 years a Penn State
harrier squad has gone through a season
without at least one win.
The Jaspers' widely acclaimed runner—
Captain Bob Sbarra—did a repeat perform
ance of his appearance against the Lions last
year by taking top honors. This time he
covered the five mile course in 25:41. Al
though his time was considerably short of
the Park record, it was a fine showing in view
of the adverse condition of the course.
Moorhead finished about 150
yards behind Sbarra, coming in at
26:10. Woodrow was clocked at
26:24, seven seconds behind the
number three man, the Jaspers'
Ed McLaughlin.
Jaspers Remain Unbeaten
The win enabled Coach George
Eastman's harriers to compile an
nblemished 1955 season card.
'..he Jaspers had previously
downed lona, Dartmouth, Army,
Navy, and St. Johns.
In Saturday's meet the Jas
pers' Bill St. Clair, running sec
ond to Sbarra in most of Man
hattan's meets this year, could
manage no better than sixth.
The other four Lions losses this
year came at the hands of Navy,
Cornell, Michigan State, and Pitt.
Enter IC-4A's Monday
The Nittanies will again travel
to New York City Monday for the
annual cross-country festival of

period. Appearing for the second time this year
before TV fans, the elusive Lion speedster bolted

Plum,
Among the linemen there were such' banner performers as Co-captain Otto Kneidinger, who
time and time again removed would-be .Orange tacklers from bringing down a Lion ball carrier,
and junior guard Sam Valentine, who has been gaining season-long praise with his patented, bone
crushing tackles.
Moore, who had been as good as most college backs for the Lions' first six games, wiggled from
beneath the blankets and emerged the great per former that he is. For Moore himself, for the rest
of the Lion team, for the coaches, and for the fans, it was like old times.
Never before this year had
the Beaver Field crowds stood
up and cheered, applauded, and
given out with boiserous 'shouts
as they did when the swivel
hipped Reading speedster rain
bled past the line of scrimmage
and eluded the Syracuse secon
dary for such gains as 13, 15.
20, and 29 yards.
In all, he amassed 145 yards on
22 carries and scored his second
touchdown of the year. And,
standing alongside his offensive
thrust was his solid defensive
play. His 11th-hour tackles and
sterling blocking hardly once
went unnoticed.
For Plum, who saw 50 minutes
of play—twice as much as any
Lion quarterback had performed
in any one game this year—there
was the experience of giving Penn
State fans what was probably
their best glimpse of field gen
eralship this year.
There was also the feeling of
a job well done for the Lion
signal-caller, for he scored one
touchdown, kicked three all
important extra points, and
completed four of eight passes.
Straub's performance was prob
ably his finest of the season too.
He was consistently a terror on
defense from his linebacking slot,
and on several occasions he
slashed through the Orange line
for sizeable gains.
