The Timites,
_defending independent champs, continued on their winning ways again
this season by downing Navy, 19-0, in Intramural football last night on the Univeisity
golf course.
The victors were ahead right from the start, thanks to the pass-receiver combination
of Pete Basil and Bruce Forbes.

go in the first half, Basile hit * * * * * *
Forbes with a 35-yard toss for
the first score.
Basil got the champs out of
trouble in the second half when
he intercepted a Navy pass and
returned the ball 25 yards. Af

Haney Gets Wire-
From. Pa. Prison
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 26 RI
Among the numerous congratu
latory telegrams received by Man
ager Fred Haney for the Milwau
kee Braves' pennant success, the
one that gave him the biggest kick
came from an inmate in Western
Pennsylvania Prison.
The telegram read:
"I'm just writing to wish you
good luck, not for any World
Series tickets. I caret use them
because I can't get out."
Penn Statt's success in sports
during the post-World War I
years accounts for the designa
tion of this period as "The Gol
den- Era."

X-Country Runners
Evade Injury Jinx
With the opening meets with Navy just one week away,
the varsity and freshman cross-country teams have been free
from injuries since practice opened two weeks ago.
Varsity Coach Chick Werner has had the teams running
in heavy basketball shoes since the training sessions opened,
except for an untimed workout * * *
last Saturday over the official
varsity and freshman distances.
Werner and freshman Coach
Norm Gordon plan to put the
harriers through a timed work-
Out over the meet distances for
the first time this afternoon on
the golf course.
Werner is pleased with the
progress of his - Big Five - (Cap
tain Fred Kerr, Ed Moran. Clem
Schoenebeck, Dick Engelbrink
and Chick King), but is con
cerned with finding a sixth man
in case one of the top five is
injured or falls back in a meet.
"So far Jack Williams, Joe
Thompson, Al 'Jones and George
Jones have shown the most prom
ise. but there is still a big gap
between these four men and the
fifth man," Werner said.
,"It is hard to judge these men
by the condition they are in now.
In Europe, the better distance
runners usually do not enter a
meet until they have gone
through eight months of rigid, ex
acting practice. Our schedule is
such that we only have three
weeks of practice before our first
meet.
':Our men just about hit their
strides when the season closes just
10 weeks after the first practice,"
he said.
- Right now, we are using
four basic workouts—repeat dis
distance running. over distance
running, alternalc fast and slow
running and running for a set
length of time," Werner said.
Gordon indicated that three of
his fledgeings—Ken Hunter, Den
nis Johnson and Herm Weber—
have shown exceptional promise,
but he also said it is too early to
tell who will fill out the rest of
the lineup for the freshman
opener -with the Plebes at Anna
polis.
"These three have the desire
and .fire to be top runners. In
their eagerness to be a good run
ner, they refuse to be left behind
in a workout no matter who they
are running with. They are be
ginning to show a lot of results."
