Evenly-Matched Cross-Country Teams Reliable Crow Leads
To Collide in 1(4-A Championship lAritsii to Top Honor
This year's IC4-A cross
country meet promises to be
one of the most hotly -contest
ed and evenly-matched con
tests in recent years.
Such was not the case last year
when Michigan State breezed to
the title with a low total of 34
points. A distant second was St.
Joseph's with 148. Penn State
was third with 158 points over
the 5-mile Van Cortlandt Park
course at New York City.
With seven of last year's top
ten finishers having graduated.
this year's meet to be held Mon
day on the same course will
highlight several- of the cross
country and track runners who
will be dominant in the sports
for the next few years. Many
of the teams which Are entered
in the meet are comprised
mostly of sophomores and jun
iors.
Among Manhattan, Fordham,
St. John's, St. Joseph's, Penn
State, Michigan State, Notre
Dame, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and
Cornell, there is not one team
that could not upend one of the
,others if the opposition is not in
Hustling Jim
Backbone of
He's just a shade over 5' 9" tall
and weighs only 150 pounds but
he's the backbone of the 1957
Penn State soccer team—Jim Hed
berg.
Since 1955, his sophomore sea
son, Hedberg has been an outside
right starter for Cdach Ken Ho-s
-terman's booters. But he is about
as well known to the public as
the man who invented Sputnik.
However, there is no denying
the fact that Hedberg has been
an instrumental force'in the suc
cess of the Nittany soccermen for
the past three years—especially
this season.
The easy-going Hedberg may
be underrated by the public but
not by his teammates. Said one
Lion booter the other day. "It
seems like Jimmy is the key to
our success. Whenever he plays
a good game, the whole team
has a good day. But when he
falters, we falter."
"He's been a real hustler," Hos
terman says of his ace terminal.
"He never stops running. What
he lacks in finesse he makes

goals—and five of them have been
registered this fall.
"Just because he doesn't score,
doesn't mean anything," soccer
captain Ralph Brower said. (Brow
er has played with Hedberg since
.955.) "He is continually setting
up a shot for someone else."
"He could take more glory
for himself by scoring," another
teammate commented, "but in
stead, he passes off. The players
think he doesn't shoot enough."
But the best compliment of all
was heard after the Lions had
' beaten Army last week at West
Point.
"Without Jim, we'd fall to
pieces," someone said. "He gives
us the spirit to win."

Super Sub!
It's been said that the atomic submarine
"Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it
only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.
Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the
only soft-drink vending machine in the entire
submarine fleet.
Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it
from es) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not
unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite
respectable.
Rugged lot, those submariners. Great
