Raider Test
Colgate's Red Raiders will meet
the Lions' cinder squad this after
noon on a soggy Beaver Field
track.
The Red Raiders lost to Cornell
107-33 earlier this season and they
are the underdogs in today's con
test, The Nittanies romped over
West Virginia 87-44 —in their
last outing.
Lion co-captain Jim Norton,
who ran the quarter mile in
48.4 against the Mounties, will
have teammate Dick Hambright
as his chief competition. Ham
bright and Norton have been in
see-saw battle for the top spot
in the 440 contingent since the
beginning of the season.
Running the quarter-mile for
the Red Raiders will be Bill Don
ahue, Carl Brownell and Doug
Ammon. The meet record in this
event-49 9—s e e nn s destined to
fall since both Norton and Ham
bright have bettered this time
previously.
The Nittanies' number one
weight man Andy Nyce—top
?corer in the West Virginia meet
—will be trying for a repeat per
formance this afternoon. Nyce
took first place honors in the shot
jut and discus and a third in the
avelin against the Mounties.
The big question mark in the
Nittany lineup is hurdler and
high• jumper John Fareira.
Fareira injured some tendons
in his right ankle just before
the Navy meet, forcing him to
miss that meet.
Fareira tied with teammate
Dick Cambell for first place
honors in the high jump against
the Mounties, but he has yet to
put his ankle to the test in the
120-yard high hurdles.
Alden Welsh fills the top slot
in the Raiders' high jump con
tingent. He is followed by Bob
Lel% is and Phil Wilginson.
The Lions are favored to
sweep both the mile and the
two-mile runs. Colgate is weak
in these events and is limiting
its entries to one in each race.
Bill Benson will run the mile

Spring Grid Drills Show Lack
Of Vital Breakaway Runner
By LOU PRATO
Collegian Sports Editor
With the close of spring foot
ball drills only four days hence,
head coach Rip Engle and his
staff are finally beginning to
talk about their grid outlook
for next season.
"We have the makings of a
good team," Engle said yester
day, "not a great one but a
good one. We still need more
depth in the backfield, but we
look pretty strong up front."
Backfield mentor Joe Pater;
no. boss of the quarterbacks,
echoed Engle's sentiments. "We
have some good backs," he
said, "but we need more depth
for our league. And we still
haven't found a real good
breakaway runner—l mean the
boy who will get away for four
or five long touchdown runs.
"Don't get me wrong," Pa
terno added, "our boys are hard
runners, good on defense, and
they block well. Most of them
will go as far as their ability
will take them, but none has
shown the knack of breaking
into the open."
"A couple of sophomores,
Jim Kerr and Lew Luce, may
be the boys we're looking for,
but we're not sure yet. Kerr
has been the most outstanding
of our new backs with his run
ning, pass receiving and de
fense playing. However, he has
shown only brief spells of
breakaway running ability.
"Luce has the speed, we know
that. But we haven't been able
to get a real good look at him
because he's been injured most
of the spring."
Kerr, a St. Clairsville, Ohio,
for Colgate and Pete Gross will
carry its hopes in the two-
Ogie Norris, Lion co-captain
and ace pole vaulter, seems des
tined to break the meet record
in the pole vault. The record
stands at 12'6"—this is the height

most spectacular running feats
with the frosh came against

isn't far behind. Caro has
looked exceptionally good on
his downfield blocking and pass
receiving. And Botula's running
has been tremendous. Kasper
lan has looked good all-around
and his running doesn't leave
much to be desired."
The coaches also felt that
veteran Andy Moconyi, last
year's regular right half who
was switched to fullback, is
performing "better than ever"
offensively. "But he still needs
work on .his defense," they
added.
"Bruce Gilmore Is also run
ning better than he ever did,"
Paterno said, "but he still has
many faults to overcome." Gil
more is the senior speedster
who led the team in rushing
as a sophomore two years ago.
A couple of injuries kept him
on the sidelines most of last
season.
"There's not much to say
about our quarterbacks." Pa
terno said." They have all been
looking good." The signal-call
ing post is regarded as the
Lions' most fortified post what
with Al Jacks, Richie Lucas,
and Bob Scrabis—the top three
from last year—returning in
addition to Dick Hoak, a high
ly-rated newcomer.
"Hoak is everything we
thought he was," Paterno said,
"especially on , defense. If he
keeps improving like he has
done so far, we'll have to work
him into the lineup— some
how."
Engle also mentioned Don
Jonas, Sam Sobozcyk, Denny
Shaffer, Bob Washko, Jack Ur
ban, Bill Chaffee and Dick

Meet Cornell
Victory number four will be the
objective today when the Penn
State lacrosse team sets its sights
on Cornell's Big Red. Game time
is 3:30 at Beaver Field.
The Lions will be out to avenge
last year's defeat by Cornell. Cor
nell comes into today's game with
a 4-0 record. (This does not in
clude Saturday's game with Yale.)
Cornell seems to have solved
its pre-season worries of goalie
and attack. Dick Cowles is still
undefeated in the n ets, and
Dick Murphy and Don Frisch
aro spearheading a powerful at
tack Which has outscored its
opponents by 23 goals.
Penn State has come on strong
in its last two outings and expects
to give Cornell a real battle.
Coach Earnie Baer will go along
with the same lineup he has used
in the last few games.
Baer said, "These last two
games were the highpoints of the
season. The games built up our
confidence which had been lack
ing due to our early season loss
es and the loss of 13ill Hess."
If Cornell is to win, it will
have to stop the Lions' one-two
punch of Fred Donahoe and
John Behne. The two are the
Lions' top scorers with 11 and
10 goals respectively.
Burt Houseworth, wh o has
been sensational in his last two
outings, will once again be in
the nets for the Lions. House
worth is a much better goalie
than statistics show. He has giv
en up a total of 81 goals, but
many have been scored when the
Lions were one man short. In
last weekend's action Houseworth
gave up only 11 goals.
If Penn State can get by the
Big Red this afternoon, the
prospects for a .300 or winning
season seem to be quite strong.
Lion coach Earnie Baer rates
the game a tossup. "The breaks
will tell the outcome," he said.
