NOVEMBER 12. 1957 Jasper Harriers Upset Niftaiiies, 21E32, at NYC By GEORGE FRENCH Weakened by ipn exceptionally fast first mile, the Nittany harriers lost to Manhattan, 23-32, last Staurdayiat Van Cortlandt Park in New York City. Seven of the eight Lion entrants covered the first mile of the five-mile course in less than 4:40. Ed Moran!, who led the pack in 4:30 at the one-mile mark along with State Col lege's Clem Schoenebeck, finished fourth in 25:59. Schoenebeck withered under the strain of the early pace and dropped out of the race with stomach pains after the third mile. Captain Fred Kerr, who was one second behind the leaders at the firsf mile, won the race i.., 25:26. 15 seconds ahead of Manhattan's Gene Martin and 19 seconds in front of the Jas pers' Pater Beyer. Martin and Beyer crossed the first-mile mark in 4:40. Little George Jones. who ran' the first mile in 4:33, faded after! the second mile and finished in, 14th, place. Dick Engelbrink. -who! was iust a few steps b 'rid Jones at the mile, did a 1 ttle better,l finishing tenth. Junior Chick 1r covered the five miles in 27:0 for eighth place after runnin the first mile in 4:35. Al Jones. who ran the first mile in 4:38, dropped ti l n fo 12th at the finish • Sophomore Joe Tho pson, who! was way behind his am.mates at' the mile with a 4: clocking, i . placed ninth in 27:23. Commenting on th Lions loss,' varsity Coach Chick Verner said that he was not pleased with thei team's performance but that he, would rather see the team lose' by running too fast of an early pace than by running a losing race at a slow pace. The Lions' mistake of run ning tbo fast too early in the meet may be profitable, for the Nittany squad will invade the Van Cortlandt course Monday for the IC4-A Championships. i In the IC4-A's they will have i the opportunity to redeem them-1 selves against the two teams that have defeated them this fall— Manhattan and Michigan State. In addition, they will meet their! other dual meet opponents—Cor nell, Pitt and Navy-. Among the top teams entered in the meet are Notre Dame, Michigan State, Syr acuse, St. Johns, St. Josephs, Penn State, Fordham and Manhattan. Among the top individual stars slated to oppose the Lions are Brown's Ed Sullivan, Syracuse's Ben Johns, Fordham's Don Luisi, Villanova's Ron Delany, Michi gan State's Henry and Forrdy Kennedy and Ron Wheeler, Pitt's Vince Timon, St. John's Pete Close and Lionel Stevens and St. 'Joseph's Bob Sloane.
