PAGE 'TWELVE eber, Norman Combo (I: lightens Harrier Hopes By JIM KARL Berm Weber, who never ran a cross-country race until he entered college, and a former member of the Royal Air Force head the list of prospects preparing for Penn State's cross-country opener with Cornell Oct. 1. Weber and Gerry Norman, who came to the Lions via Bristol, England, should help make up for the loss of last year's stars Dick Engelbrink, Chick King and George Jones. Norman,' tabbed by coach Chick Werner as one of the best prospects in the East, won the freshman IC4A title last year. The tall Englishman toured the course in 14:30 and finished more than 50 yards ahead - of his nearest competitor. Norman attended school in Bris tol and won many scholastic meets. While running for the lloyal Air Force, he continued his winning ways. Last year during the fresh dual meet season he took. three firsts and he holds the Penn State 3-mile record and the Naval Academy course mark. Weber, a 3-year veteran who will captain the Harriers this year, has shown improvement since his freshman year when he finished fifth in the freshman in tercollegiates. The Lion captain says his philosophy on running includes two basic ingredients proper conditioning and mental disci pline. "Only with these two things is one able fo run five • miles at a titre," he said. Denny Johnson and Weber are the only other seniors on a pre dominantly young team. Johnson performed capably and was con sistently among the top four or five harriers to finish Two juniors from northern Pennsylvania, Mike Miller and Steve Moorhead, also arc being counted on heavily. Moorhead was the top sophomore on last year's squad that won three in a row before dropping decisions to Michigan State and Manhattan. Lionel Basset, Ilowie Deardorff and Paul Brownbcck, all sopho mores, looked good in their frosh debuts last year.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Lion Boaters Count On 7 Lettermen Soccer coach Ken Hosterman will be counting on seven hold overs from last season to wipe out the memory of the dismal 1959 campaign. Last year the Lion booters com piled a 2-7 record, marking their first losing season since 1944 and only the second in the history of the school, Hosterman thinks State has an excellent chance to move back into the winner's circle this year, Fullback Wayne Rodgers, who played his high school soccer at Olney High in Philadelphia, will captain the 1960 booters. The other returning lettermen are junior fullback John Miller, junior goalie Dave Grubbs, sen ior halfbacks Bill Rierson, Gene Raiford, Carlos Astiz, and wing 7 man Lou Van Rafelghem. Hosterman is counting on three promising sophomores Ed Hi nojosa, Jay Stormer and Russ Naylor—to fill the gaps in the forward line. Others that could help the soc cermen get back on th winning trail are Julius Fleshosko, Tony Mattei, and Ken Link. All three were members of last year's squad. Coach Hosierman feels his squad has plenty of potential, but adds that it is too early to know just exactly how things will turn cut. "Not all of the boys are back, and some that are haven't report ed yet," he said Another factor that prevents Hosterman from becoming over ly optimistic is the threat of pre season injuries to •key personnel. The Lion mentor lost Howie Maierhofer in '5B and Bill Fiedler in '59 through pre-season injuries. Both were captains and had been named to the All-American squad. AV. 1,. Pct. G.ll.

Va.—Whipping fast into readi ness for one of the nation's toughest college football schedules, West Virginia's fuzzy cheeked Mountaineers break camp to day and head for Morgantown where they meet Maryland Saturday. Coach Gene Corum realizes that if his first squad is to achieve so much as a .500 record against the murderer's row of op ponents, it must start fast. Mary land and Virginia Tech, the Sept. 24th opponent at Richmpnd, are considered' the pivotal games on the schedule. After that come such national powerhouses as Illinois, Pitt and Syracitse picked by Stanley Woodward to finish writing the top five—along with eighth-ranked Penn State and a young Oregon team laden with potential great ness. A victory over any of these teams, which make up half the schedule, would rank with the up set of Pitt last year among West' Virginia's all-time wins. PITTSBURGH, Pa. Pitt has entered the final stages of its pre season training and although the first game is Saturday against UCLA at Los Angeles, it's still too difficult to evaluate the Panthers. From all indications, it looks like a strong team but the sched ule might be too tough to handle. Passing and the offensive line play • are the two big question marks. Coach John Michelosen won't know how good his tackles are until after the first game, "Tackle is definitely the big ques tion mark," Michelosen said. "It's hard to tell how the sophomores will come along. Dick Mills is the only letter winner." CHAMPAIGN, 111.

"I don't believe pre-season pre dictions have any effect on a team. Right now, our players just think from one practice to the next.
