WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1960 Harrier Duo's Time Fast for Pitt Course Penn State's top cross country aces, Herm Weber and Gerry Norman, made Pittsburgh's tough Schenley Park course look easy Friday when they finished in 22:39.8, 20 seconds off the course record. Both Chick Werner, the coach, Carl Rees, felt the time was extremely fast for such an early meet. Norman annexed his sixth straight first place by tying Web er at Pittsburgh. The worst he has done since running for the Nittany harriers was second place against the Cor nell frosh in last year's freshman opener. Since then he has copped the freshman IC4A crown, three freshman victories, and two var sity firsts. Werner felt that the rest of the team ran very well. He said he was very pleased with the performances of Ernie Noll and Howie Deardorff, who fin ished in a dead heat for fourth. Werner also had praise for Fred Larson and Lionel Bassett. "Lar son and 'Bassett indicated, they could be in there helping more very soon," Werner said. Werner felt that the team as a whole showed improvement since the Cornell meet. , "The team is gradually im proving at a proper rate and that's what we want," Werner said. While the Lion harriers blitzed through their first two opponents in quick order, the big one with Michigan State is only four days away, Michigan State holds the NCAA crown as well as the Big Ten and IC4A championships. In the last five years, the Spar tans have won five Big Ten cham pionships, four straight IC4A titles, and two straight NCAA crowns. Heading the powerful Spar tan contingent will be two members of the All-American cross country squad, Billy Rey nolds and Jerry Young. Michigan State has always been a thorn for Werner and in 1956 and 1958 the Spartans ruined State's chances for perfect rec ords. "We are very much the under dogs meeting Michigan State, but we're approaching the meet with the proper attitude," Werner said. After battling - Michigan State, the Lion harriers will turn their attention to a pair of the East's top cross country powers, Navy and Manhattan, Meet the Varsity Lion halfback Jim Kerr, the hero of Penn State's 27-16 win over Army Saturday, will be the guest star on Jerry Abram's Meet The Varsity Shoty tonight.
