more Fred Kerr, led the local harriers to a seventh-place finish in the 18th annual NC
AA run yesterday at East Lansing, Michigan.
Michigan State, 1956 IC4-A champions, retained its national crown by romping to vic
tory with 28 points—the second best team score in the history of the meet, Drake hold-
ing the record with 25 set in 1944.
Woodrow, flashing the form
which brought him from the
Lion shadows late in the season
into the limelight as an outstand
ing team leader, topped the Lion
tntiles with a lith place in 20:45.
Kern the most consistent
performer on the squad all sea
son, grabbed a 23rd place in

lasi course.

However, Walt McNew, an ov
,erlooked entry from Texas Uni
versity, grabbed all the glory
when he staged a tremendous fin
ish to overhaul favored Henry
Kennedy, Michigan State, in the
final half-mile to win first place.
Kennedy. the defending indi
vidual intercollegiate champion
and winner of the IC4-A run
last week. had led all the way
before finally fading in the
stretch, finishing third. It was
the first time that the Spartan
junior had been beaten all seas

took second place honors. fol
lowed by Kennedy and his two
teammates. Gay Denslow and Sel
wyn Jones.

Kansas. 88 points: 3. Texas, 89
points; 4. Illinois, 128 points; and

Lion angle, it could he considered
the closing to a very successful
season for Coach Chick Werner's
runners.

year in 1955, the sophomore
laden Lions posted a 4-1 record
during the regular season. In
post - season competition. 2h e
harriers were third in the IC4-A
test at New York and seventh
in yesterday's run.
At the beginning of the year.
it was Werner's three sophomores
—Kerr, Moran. and Schoenebeck
—who sparked the team to :•ic-
Tories over Cornell and Navy.
Following a shutout loss to
Michigan State. the Lions went
on to defeat Manhattan and Pitts-I
burgh with Woodrow finally real-I
iziing his potential to take corn-I
plete control of team leadership.'

Optimistic. Rip Proved
Right About Lions
Remember when the wise old "Grey Eagle" stood on the
steps of Recreation Hall at the pep rally for the opening game
of the 1956 gridiron season and said that his boys were not
"the biggest, nor the fastest, but we've got a lot of spirit and
we're gonna surprise somebody."
Nearly everybody in that
"Who's he think he's kiddin. We
de-emphasized sports and don't
stand a chance. Why Penn's
strong this year; they'll probably
beat us. Rip, this is the end to
that winning season streak of 17."
Engle himself admitted that he
had received opinions from high
school and professional "experts"
who claimed that the 1956 edi-
I tion of the pigskin Lion just didn't
have it and would be lucky to
win three games.
But the bid "Grey Eagle" took
his doctor's E..ivice and planned
a calm season. He even became
optimistic at times, praising his
boys as the highest spirited
eleven that he ever coached.
As everyone knows, Rip kept
that winning season record intact
!with a 6-2-1 record and pulled
those surprises.
After the Pitt deadlock last Sat
urday, Engle said, "This has been
the happiest season I've had in
27 years of coaching. These boys
have been willing to put forth
every extra effort.'
But when asked to single out
his individual top performer,
he simply smiled and replied.
- How can I. I like them aIL
I They're my boys. -
Pitt lost everything by the tie
—the old Coal Bucket symbolic
,of the Tri-State championship and
;the Lambert Trophy, sometimes
;symbolic of eastern supremacy—
;but Engle wanted an out-and-out
I win and took responsibility for
Milt Plum's field goal attempt.
Although Milt wanted to go for
,the big marker, the gambler from
!the bench called a three-point try.
'But the ball floated soft and off
to the right by a foot for a miss.
Engle claimed that given an
iother crack, Milt would have
!made it and that would have
been the game, although more
'than nine minutes remained and
Pitt would have sufficient time :
and additional incentive to pro
duce another scoring drive. But
Engle felt certain his sixth-rank
ing
defense nationally could con
tain the ground-minded Panther,
attack.
Engle pulled a few other sur
prises, such as the 7-6 win over
