tion that the cagey Lion coach
may have something special
planned for Pitt.
Engle's biggest worry tomor
row seems to be the problem
of pass interceptions.
With Dick Hoak and Galen Hall
guiding the Lyon offense, it is
possible that State will fill the
airlines because the Panther de
fense has stopped most ground
attacks this year.
"We must guard against inter
ceptions," Engle warns. "Pitt con

fensive weapons in its wins over
Syracuse and Notre Dame.
"Pitt's only touchdown against
Army came on an interception re
turn." Engle added.
Hoak has really been a stand
out for the Lions the past three
weeks and last Saturday at
Holy Cross he had his best af
ternoon in a Penn State uni
form.

234 yards 174 passing and 60

Werner's Strategy
Paid High Dividends
Penn State's IC4A cross country championship came
about not by accident, but by the crafty planning of Lion
coach Chick Werner. •
The veteran mentor has developed a team this year
which many cross country experts feel is - his best since he
became head coach in 1933.
However, when the season
started, nobody figured that
Penn State would do so well.
"All we had to start with were
three pretty good boys in Herm
Weber, Gerry Norman and Steve
Moorhead," Werner said the other
night as he outlined the harriers'
climb to success.
Aside from the "Big Three," as
Weber, Moorhead and Norman
became known after great perfor
mances in the first few meets of
the season, the team lacked poise
and experience.
Half the squad was composed
of sophomores who had yet to
run in a varsity meet.
Werner knew that despite the
ability of Weber, Moorhead and
Norman, the Lions would have
trouble beating perennial cross
country powerhouses like Michi
gan State and Manhattan unless
he came up with some other top
runners.
So he decided to employ a bit
of very unusual strategy. He in
structed the. "Big Three" to hold
back both in meets and in prac
tice just enough to encourage the
Lion's secondary runners to try
and keep up with them.
Each day runners like Howie
Deardorff, Ernie Noll, Lionel
Bassett and Denny Johnson
found that if they pushed them
selves to the very Limit they
could almost keep pace with the
leaders.
"Before the first meet with Cor
nell, we imposed on Weber, Moor
head and Norman that we didn't

want them running faster than
our fifth man," Werner said.
"We were taking a chance that
Cornell would break into the
scoring but we were going to let
things fall and develop a team in
stead of a group of individuals,"
he said.
The strategy paid .off for the
Lions when they came home in
a five-way tie for first to rout
the Big Bed, 15.47, and it's been
paying off ever since.
The harriers breezed undefeat
ed through six dual meets and
then captured the IC4A team
championship last week. :
"The total value of this type of
running has been that the under
studies to the three top runners
had a lot of composure rub off on
them," Werner said. "This im
proved them greatly.
"But it looks as if our team
balance may have developed at
the expense of our three indi
vidual stars," he said. "For this
personal sacrifice, Weber, Moor
head, and NOrman deserve a lot
of credit."
Werner said he would have to
alter his strategy for Monday's
NCAA tourney at East Lansing,
Mich.
"Our endeavor for the NCAA
meet will be to have everyone
running as individuals to break
up this thing of holding back to
encourage a teammate.
"We have to ;hake this thing
off before the NCAA as, the run
ners out there are going to be
very, very tough," he added.
