PAO>E IfcN Nittany Harriers Down Pitt , 22-3 4 The undefeated Penn State harriers rolled to their third win of the season with a 22-34' victory over Pitt last Saturday at Schenley Park in Pittsburgh. Although the triumph was by a comfortable margin, the fact that Pitt’s Ron Rush .be came the first opposition runner to finish ahead of Lions Ed Moran, Dick Engelbrink and Capt. Fred Kerr raised a few eyebrows. Rush won the 4.3 mile race in 24:51, folio .ved by Kerr one second later. Moran took thud in 24 57. with Engelbrink ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ lmishing fourth in 25 2). Other Lion placets were Herm Wt her Kith in 26.08), Chick King (7th in 20'1I) and Ernie Noll (10th in 27 39). Besides Rush, the only Panth eis to finish ahead of Nittany tunnels were Dale Fauser (sth), John Christoff .(Bth) and Micky Jupma f9th). With the Lions' meet with arch cross-country rival Mich igan State set for Saturday, some observers have pushed the panic button as a result of the Panther contest, but Nittany coach Chick Werner did not seem upset by the results “Wo weren't worried about winning the meet, «o we had the boy. stick as dose together as possible throughout the meet,” Werner said. "Our /list five run ners finished within one minute and twenty seconds of each oth ei Our only real concern during the meet was a good team effort, not individual times and places. We were more interested in hav ing King, Weber and Noll run ning up with the rest of the team.” Werner was particularly pleased with the performances of Kerr and sophomore Weber. I "Although these were not their , highest finishes for either of j them, I think they ran their best races of the season last Saturday." The Lion harriers had a rough workout at Centre Hills Country Club the previous Wednesday, and Werner believes that some of the runners might have still been a little stiff from the heavy prac tice session.

PENNSYLVANIA By GEORGE FRENCH Fred Kerr . . . runners praised for Piii performances NCAA Plans Attacks On Grid Recruiting CHICAGO (/P) The “letter of intent” method of com batting recruiting athletes may be put on a country-wide scale by the NCAA, Fritz Crisler, Michigan athletic director, said Monday. Crisler, who is a member o; NCAA, now meeting in Chicago, told the Chicago American Quar terback Club: "A 'national letter of intent' may come with the recommen dation of the council at the NCAA, convention next January in Cincinnati. "This rvould reduce the great est evil in collegiate ahtletics— the mad scramble in recruiting for blue chip athletes. I think a letter of intent is a fine, whole some type of thing.” Basically, a letter of intent is a declaration by a prospective ath lete that he intends to go to a certain school. If he fails to do so, he may be ruled ineligible for athletics in his particular confer ence or he may be ruled in eligi ble for financial aid. The Big Ten, pioneer of the "letter of intent" move, rules an athlete who fails to carry through his declaration ineli gible for financial assistance at any other member school, but does not legislate him out of athletics. Assistant Big Ten Commission er Bill Reed said that in additic to the Big Ten, only three othc conferences are using a letter i intent policy. They are the Sout 1 west.

Still, Sobczak had a great day by picking up 74 yards and leading the offense in the first two TD’s. ★ ★ Stynchula, Ruslavage Praised by Coaches (Continued from page nine) | of the Lion forward wall? “I wasj real proud the way the line moved out both offensively and defensively,” line coach Jim O’- Hora said. “They set out to be the boss and that’s what they were. They really moved fast. “In a game like this it’s hard to single out any individual, but I thought the corner men and the inside line backers did a good job especially on pass defense. They came up with a good many interceptions, but in turn, the rush on the passer makes the interception come easy.” Head coach Rip Engle also had a few words to say. "It was a great team effort." said the Nittany tutor, "but I thought Chuck Ruslavage did a great job backing-up and blocking. (Maury) Schleicher did a good job too and so did (Andy) Slynchula. Thai Stynchula is getting better by the week." Another line coach, Tor Tor ptti, agreed with Engle on the play of Stynchula. Toretti wasn’ at the game because of a scouting assignment, but after reviewing the movies yesterday he said: ‘‘Stynchula did a great job on of fense. He completed 75 per cent of his blocking assignments and ’■eally looked great on'tiownfield blocking. He did as good a job on downfjeld blocking as I’ve ever seen.” Backfield coach Joe Paternc also raved about the team effor' and particularly praised the team austle. "There was one guy. out there TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21.1958 ★ * whose hustling went practically unnoticed by most of the aud ience," Paterno said, "and that's A 1 Jacks. Jacks played a darn good game. He made some nice tackles out there today, catch ing two of those BU runners from behind when they were in the clear. And it was his block which sprang (Dick) Hoak loose on his (36-yard) touch down run. “Put in a plug for Jacks,” Pa terno continued. “He’s doing a good job. He’s working hard and playing his heart out. Richie (Lu cas) is ahead of him but it’s not because of Jacks’ loafing. Jacks is a better all-around player this year than he ever was. But this team is made more for Lucas with the rollout option. But if Lucas lets up for one minute, Jacks will pass him by.” BOSTON BULLETS —Several members of the Penn State press corps were forced to watch the game via TV. Alumni secretary Ridge Riley stayed home because of the unexpected death of his .‘lose friend, Lou Bell, and Sports Editor Ron Field of the Centre Daily Times sat by his magic box because of illnesses on the Times ;taff. But it was State’s sports pub icist Jim Tarman who really iad the bad luck. Tarman flew o Boston early Thursday to set ip a beachead with the Bean own newshounds. But he devel i iped the flu Friday night and was confined to his hotel room Saturday afternoon. —By LOU PRATO
