Coach Displeased
With Harrier Effort
"I can't see how a team with our capabilities can perform
so badly in an individual meet." This was Nittany Lion cross
country coach Chick Werner's feelings after his harriers took
a 21-40 licking at the hands of Michigan State last Saturday.
Werner stated that the team as a whole performed very
poorly. "There is not one of thel * * *
,
boys who can be praised for the
meet," the Lion mentor added.
Michigan State also ran a bad
meet. Werner felt that they
were not grouped as closely as i
a championship team should be.
"But even in being sub-par, 1
they put more in it than our
boys,' he said.
Michigan State placed seven!
men ahead of the Nittanies' third!
finisher on the East Lansing
course Saturday. Steve Moorhead,l
Dick Engelbrink and Herm Web-1
er were the top placers for Penn,
State. They finished third, fourth,
and tenth, respectively.
Werner said that Moorhead
turned in the mo. t creditable per
formance but een he' did not
have a great da .
But the main concern of the
coaching staff not so much
losing the meet as the way it

was lost. The Ni tam. coach was
at a loss to ex ain the below

were more s ead out than
ever before and their individual
times were, i some cases.

"The team is c mpoSed of some

for their sudden collapse," Wer

order of the evening in intra

common.
