THURSDAY, NOVEM Koch an Placed On Doubtful List for Pitt Penn State halfback Roger Kochman yesterday was placed on the "very doubtful list" for the Pitt game this weekend by team physician Alfred H. Griess. The sensational sophomore, who ran a kickoff back 100 yards against Syracuse, injured his left knee in the Holy Cross game last Saturday and as of last night the injury was not responding to treatment. .Kochman has been limited to jogging exercises the last two days. After practice yesterday Kochman said his knee felt bet ter and added "that's not say ing much." Kochman's loss would be a tough blow for the Nittany Lions who are eyeing a post-season bowl. Dick Hoak has been running at his old left halfback post in place of Kochman. . Hoak was a regular there until Kochman ran wild against West Virginia Dick Pae, who plays both right and left half, will move into the second unit left half slot. Pae was going great until the Illinois game when he suffered a slight concussion. He missed the West Virginia game and. didn't play much against Syra cuse. But he showed his old form in the Holy Cross tilt and will prob ably see plenty of action Satur day. Pae has the third highest rush ing average on the squad. He's caried 35 times for 161 yards and DICK PAE a 4.6 average.

PENNSYLVANIA * * * * * * Pitt Recalls How Lions Ruined Bid The Pittsburgh Panthers will have an added incentive this Saturday to attempt a coup d'etat on any prospec tive bowl plans the Nittany Lions may have. It was just one year ago that, with the relative positions of the, teams reversed, the Lions played the role of spoiler and knocked the Panthers out of a possible sunny vacation in Jacksonville, Florida, site of the Gator Bowl. Though Penn State is cur rently riding the crest of its best season in a decade, post ing an 8.1 slate and fifth and seventh place rankings in the two major grid polls, previous records mean little in this tradi tional battle. And the results of last year's contest are still etched in the minds of the Pitts burghers. Pitt holds a 32-22-3 edge in the series which dates back to 1893 but the Lions boast a 5-3-1 ad vantage since the inauguration (Continued on page ten) Werner Sees Rise Of U.S. Distancemen The United States may be on the long road back to supremacy in the distance runs, according to Penn State cross country coach Chick Werner. "Never before have the times in the IC4A championships been so low," Werner said. Seventeen men broke the 25-min- ute mark. The average, up to this! date, was about five, "This indicates," Werner add-i ed, "that the runners in the U.S.! are becoming more adept at the; distance game." 1 For the past 25 years. the Unit ed States has lagged further and further behind European i nations in producing distance i runners. Such stars as Finland's r Paavo Nurmi and Czeckoslo vakia's Emil Zaptopek have dominated the sport. The only American to break the monopoly in the past years hasi been Penn Satte's Horace Ashen feller who won the 3000-meter steeplechase in the 1952 Olympics. Even the top runners who have l competed for American colleges have been so-called "foreign im ports." Examples are Ron De lany of Ireland, who ran for Villa nova and Jim Bailey of Australia who ran for Oregon. However, Werner does not think that the use of foreign im -1 ports will have a bad effect. Forddy Kennedy of Michigan !State, who is of Canadian de scent, has been setting the pace in cross country for the last three years. In order to catch up to Kennedy, American runners had to increase their pace and de crease their time," the Lion men tor said. He also cited other runners —Jon Macy of Houston and. 1 in the future, Penn State's own Gerry Norman as foreign run ners who will cause American runners to sharpen their tal ents. ' As an example, Werner points out the performance of the Lion's Dick Engelbrink in the IC4A's. Engelbrink finished in third place with a time of 24:12.

"Englebrink was pushing to keep up with Kennedy, who cap tured first place in 23:50.8, and thus was spurred to his best time," the Lion coach stated. Thus, Werner feels that if the present trend in American dis tance running is maintained, it won't be too long before the U S. can again challenge the USSR and other European countries for dis tance run domination. Allison Given Rookie Honors BOSTON (t 1) Bob Allison, the Washington Senators' big, muscular center fielder, yester day was named the American League rookie of the year for 1959. It was the second year in a row that Washington's center fielder had been chosen for the honor by the Baseball Writers ;Assn. of America. and Allison ,forced the 1958 winner, Albie 'Pearson, out of his position. Pearson was traded to Balti more this season after the 6-foot-3 210-pound Allison had secured the center field job. Allison, a former fullback for the University of Kansas, easily outdistanced Cleveland's Jim Per ry and Russ Snyder of Kansas City in the balloting by a 24-man committee of the baseball writers. He polled 18 votes, Perry had 5 and Snyder 1. Allison, 25, is now playing in the Cuban Winter League. "It's terrific," he said in Ha vana. "It's something I always dreamed of if I got a chance in the majors. I'm really thrilled." wizet 7 1 - Arr ( 7 ?
