the Lions defeated Navy, 20-10,
and lost to Miami, 25-8.
Army opened the season with
victories over Richmond (24-6)
and DU (31-7) before being routed
38-8 by Michigan last week.
But according to Lion line
coach Tor Toreiti, who scouted
the Cadets in their first three
games, the Michigan score is
misleading.
"Army fumbled three times in
side its 25 in the first quarter,"
Toretti said, "and Michigan scored
two quick touchdowns and a field
"From that point on Michigan
did a good job of making Army
play its game." he said. They did
an effective job of stopping Al
Rushatz and gave up the short
pass to protect against the long
ones "
Rushatz is Army's leading
ground gainer and Hall counts
on him to keep the defense hon
est so 08 Dick Eckert can click
on his passes.
Army still : uses the lonely end
offense that Blaik devised in 1958,
hut the lonely end is no longer
excluded from the huddle as in
past years.
Tcreiti said that Army plays
a wide open game that is built
around the run-pass option.
. "Quarterback Dick Eckert is an
excellent runner and against
Michigan lie became a good pass
er." he said,
"Ile's 'a - constant threat on the
option play. To make the defen
sive problems even greater, Army
likes to • use a man in motion.
They'll throw a lot and arc espe
cially effective with the short
hook pass. They showed a double
wine against Michigan."
Eckert, the second leading
passer in the nation in total
completions, will direct Army's
first team.
Joe Blackgrove, a speedy 165:-
pounder who is considered the
hest runner on the Army squad,
was slated to back up Eckert at
quarterback.
But in a mid-week switch Ball
decided to move Blackgrove to
left halfback and promote third
team quarterback Jim Beier
schroitt to the second squad.
"Eckert plays a lot of foot
ball for us," coach Jim Valek
said yesterday, "and Black
grove is just too talented a foot
ball player to sit on the bench."
Valek said that Blackgrove and
Toni Culver, who was the first
team left halfback until the
switch, are the fastest backs on the
learn but that Blarkgrove has an
edge as a pass receiver.
Valek compared Pete King, the
other Army halfback, to State's
Don Jonas. "Jonas and King have
a lot of similar moves," he said.'
'They both fight hard for their:
yardage, but Jonas has the edge
because he is bigger."
The other member of the
starting backfield is Rushatz.
l had an operation last year
and missed all of spring prac
tice," Valek said, "and he's just
starting to get his feet back on
the ground."

By DAVE LEONARD
Steve Machooka, a swift
moving sophomore with
enough potential to become
the greatest runner in Cornell
cross country history, will be
the man to watch this morning
when State hosts the Big Red in
both varsity and freshman meets
at 11 a.m. on the golf course.
"Tell the fans that tomorrow
they can see one of the best cross
country races ever held here,"
Lion coach Chick Werner said
yesterday.
"Machooka is one of the best
distance runners I have ever
seen, and if any of our three
best boys, Gerry Norman, Steve
Moorhead, or Howie Deardorff,
beat Machooka they may have
to set a new course record to
do it," he said.
Werner said before the season
started that he was happy with
his first three men, but was
looking for a fourth man to fill
the gap left by the graduation of
Herm Weber.
Joe Nichols. was and still is a
possibility to fill that spot along
with Miller, but Nichols found the
heat too great last week and
couldn't finish the race.
Werner said that the same run
ners who ran in both the varsity
and freshman meets last week
would be out on the course this
"It's early in the season, and it's'morning.
Werner had nothing but praise
or the Cornell flash.

hot, but I still think that today's

Werner continued.
The meet may go a long way
toward answering some questions
for Werner: Will Mike Miller give
the Lions a solid fourth man?
Will the Lions' "Big Three" be up
to Machooka's competition? Can
frosh Colin Grant improve on the
new freshman record he set last
week against Pitt?
