PAGE TEN 5 Win Grid Tilts By GHEG HUNTINGDON Contrast was the by-word last night at Beaver Field when five teams moved into the second round of Intra mural football. The heavy schedule saw every type of Same, from an overtime thriller to a 29-0 romp. In the Independent bracket, Nittany 29 squeaked past Pollock 4 in overtime, 3-2 in first downs; the Nittany Bearcats rolled over the Badgers, 26-0, and Pollock 12 edged the Chicken Pluckers, 3-2. In fraternity play. Theta Xi clob bered Delta Theta Sigma, 29-0. and Sigma Phi Epsilon smashed Alpha Tau Omega, 20-0. .The opener between Nittany 29 and Pollock 4 was even-stephen all the way. Nittany was first to score, when Bob Scholl flipped to Jack Reskovach for a first down at the 50-yard line. Pollock came right back on an intercep tion to knot the count on Ron Sutherland’s pass to Ed Gillam, good for 28 vards. Pollock was first to count in the second half when a Suther land to Mortimer pass clicked for 24. Nittany began a drive shortly after the kick-off and drove 32 yards before being halted on downs. Midway in the drive, Dave Reed fired 14 yards to Reskovach for the tying first down. The game was forced into over time and Nittany was the team in l Handicap Race Results Impress Lion Mentor Enthusiasm reigned over the Nittany Lion cross-country coaching staff today after the final times were recorded on last Saturday's three-mile handicap race on the Univer sity’s golf course. Led by the three sophomore —the Nittany harriers ran in what to date. Although starting four minutes later than the first runner, Moran recorded the fastest time of the day—ls.ls. Schoenebeck and Kerr followed with identical times of 15.44. Captain Don Woodrow was next in line with a 15.56 time Sophomores Bob Thompson, Jay Kirby, and Charlie King completed the first six with 16.10. 16.13, and 16.16 times. Moran also recorded the best time for each mile—4.s3 for the first, 5.09 for the second, and 5.13 for the third. Schoenebeck and Kerr posted identical 4.59, 5.18. and 5.27 times over each mile. Woodrow’s mile breakdown read 5.04. 5.18. and 5.34. This was the stiffest test Wer ner had put before his harriers since the opening of practice ses sions some three weeks ago and he termed it a success. He said that Moran’s perform ance was quite impressive and added that the other Lion runners showed some improvement. How ever ,he cautioned on being too overoptimistic since his club has yet to taste regular competition. Werner said that he was not dissatisfied in the least with any of the harrier performances, al though he believes that it is pos sible for Kerr and Schoenebeck to do better as time progresses. Using the times as an indica tion, Werner said that it looked as though his plan of obtaining team balance was finally begin ning to bloom. This was the first timed workout that Werner ran since he first put his club under the clock approximately a week and a half ago with the emphasis on getting that balance. The trial seemed to raise Wer ner's outlook on the prospects for the coming season. After going winless last year, he believed that this year would be one of re building. Lacking any outstanding vet erans and having only unexper ienced sophomores to look to, Wer ner had nothing else to do but rebuild. However, those sopho mores stepped up to the varsity burden with big shoulders and changed the complete outlook for 1956. The Lions open their 1956 sea son Saturday against Cornell at Ithaca, N.y. After that comes Navy. Michigan State. Manhattan, and Pittsburgh the last three perennial cross-country power house*. ! possession after six plays in ene my territory, so the victory went to them. The winning play came [on a pass from Reed to Bob Wal lis. Jim Machlan of Theta Xi was the big man in the winner's at tack. The 6-2 tailback passed for three T.D.'s and scored once himself. The other score came on a safety in the second per iod. Gordie Krieger was the first Theta Xi to score, taking a 12- yarder from Machlan. Jack Fry fought back valiantly for Delta Theta Sig, but his passing was in vain as the winner’s defense could not be pierced. A Machlan to Lynn Baker heave was good for the second tally and Machlan took the Ihird over himself on a 32-yard inter ception. The Nittany Bearcats ran roughshod over the Badgers from Nittany 33 in the middle game. Joe Flanegan was the key man in the attack. In addi tion to handling the majority of the passing, Flanegan was instrumental in setting up some of the successful running plays. The winner’s first touchdown came early in the half on Flane gan’s 26-yard aerial to Bernie Buhl. Flanegan converted. Im mediately following the kick-off, the Bearcats took over again and racked up another one on Flane gan’s pass to Fred Wagner.

Lion Comeback Falls Short; Gilmore, Valentine Impressive (Continued from page eight) minutes remained. The Lions then began their second serious threat. With Bruce Gilmore running and A 1 Jacks passing the Lions traveled to the Army 21 before being halted. Sand wiched in between this action was a Plum pass to Paul North for 20 yards. But the Cadets could only run (two plays. On the third play, Joe iSabol intercepted a Kyasky aerial jon the 30 and went to the 19 be fore he was pushed out of bounds. Gilmore then traveled five yards to the' 14 and Kane went to the 10. Gilmore tried for the first down, which was inches away, and sped seven yards to the Army three. Caprara failed to make the TD as the quarter ended. With only five seconds elapsed in the final period Maurice Schleicher, 6-3, 230 poqrid fullback, cracked the Army line for the six-pointer.

Weishaar put the losers into a a temporary lead, when he tagged Vince Reno with a short pass midway through the final frame, but Ching came back to peg to Ed Lubermursky to deadlock the first downs, and skirted left end for .25 yards and the winning marker with 8 seconds remain ing.

Campbell added the point and came back minutes later to pound a field goal 23 yards for an early 10-0 lead. the Lions seemed to have a threat going it was halted by a long loss. The Lions threw a scare into the Cadets when Gilmore, after being smeared on the two trying to run back a punt, atoned for that mistake by breaking into the clear and racing 43 yards down the sidelines, before Kyasky dropped him after evading Andy iMoconyi’s block at midfield. This finished the Lions for the rest of the game. But the Lions lost no face to the 24,175 fans present. Instead they issued a warning to their seven remaining opponents that they are no pushovers and are still top contenders for Eastern honors. Amy P.

The apparent thought that came to everyone’s mind during the first quarter of Saturday’s game with Army was that the Lions had "big-game jitters.” But Coach Rip Engle disagreed. “We didn’t nave the jitters,” Engle said, “we knew if we were to win we would have to stop Army in the first quarter, but they (Army) just had too much speed in those first couple of minutes for us. After a while Army tired and slowed down. That was all. We didn’t have the jitters no more than they did.” But if the Lions did "choke up" in those few hectic minutes the culprit would definitely be the Cadet cheering section. When 3.000 cadets chant "On Brave Old Army Team" with the help of a few microphones spread throughout the bleachers it is difficult to hear your own voice, let alone the quarter back's signals. This is apparent ly the principle reason why the Penn State Blue Band was sent to Michie Stadium—to combat the Cadet's cheers with some of its own. Engle definitely thinks this is the most spirited club he has ever coached. “Our opponents might be bigger and faster,” Engle boasted, “but when it comes to spirit and hustle this team is tops.” Keeping on the subject of op ponents Engle compared this year’s schedule with the 1947 team’s schedule. “The 1947 club that went to the Cotton Bowl didn’t have one op ponent who was in the top thirty in the nation,” Engle said, “but this year we have five who are in the top twenty.” "I'm not saying that the '47 team wasn't any good, but they didn't meet a lop team until SMU in the Bowl. If they had our schedule they would have lost a few." Engle's comparison with the '47 team was mainly because that team was con sidered the best up here in the past IS years, and Engle more than likely thinks this year's squad is almost as good, al though he won't admit it. The Lions have been fortunate with injuries this year except for one player.
