SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 18, 1961
Lion Harriers To Defend
Eastern Crown Monday
Special to The Collegian
NEW YORK, N.Y.—Nov. 17
—The scenery in Van Cortlancl
Park, located in the upper
Bronx, is very beautiful on a
late autumn afternoon.
But come Monday the turf in
one section of the park will be
torn from the spikes of runners,
and Penn State’s harriers will be
trying to chew up the ground in
front of the rest of the entrants
in the 1961 IC4A championship
race.
The Lion harriers were given
Friday off by coach Chick
Werner.
Tomorrow they will familiarize
themselves with the course before
going for the marbles Monday.
This will be the third time
around the Bronx oval for Gerry
Norman. In 1959 Norman captured
the IC4A freshman championship,
and last year he finished eighth
against varsity competition.
Norman rates the number one day's race should not prove as

Bowl bids and conference titles
are at stake in wholesale lots
today as the 1961 college football
season hits its next-to-last big
Saturday.
Six of the nation's top 10 teams
are prime targets of the bowl se
lectors, with Ohio State and Min
nesota of the Big Ten still un
decided.
Top-ranked Texas (8-0), head
ing for the host spot in the Cot

the Southwest Conference title

Texas’ bowl opponent most like

ruled itself out of the Sugar
Bowl and pre-empted by Ole
Miss in the Colton Bowl, meets
Mississippi Slate.
The Bose Bowl is wide open
until Alabama makes its decision,
though both third-ranked Ohio
State (6-0-1) and resurgent Min
nesota, No. 5, have to be con
sidered as they push for the Big
Ten title. The Gophers (6-1) play
seventh-ranked Purdue in their
last big stumbling block toward
at least a share of the title.
Eighth-ranked Colorado (6-1),
still leading the Big Eight and
hoping for the nod from the Or
ange Bowl, meets conference foe
Nebraska, and must win to stay
on top. Syracuse, ranked 10th
with a 6-2 mark, takes on Notre
Dame, and will announce its in
tentions after the game. A victory
is expected to mean either the
Gator, Liberty or Gotham bowls.

he has recorded six consecutive
dual meet victories and a first
place in the Heptagonal games.
Werner is very high on the
African. “I think that Machooka
is one of the best distance run
ners I have ever seen,” Werner
said.
The Lions have the darkhorse
candidate for the title in Howie
Deardorff. Deardorff broke the
course record at Navy this year and
has developed at a rapid pace
over the last half of the season.
The Lions have a third threat
who could very well sneak in
ahead of everyone else in Steve
Moorhead.
Moorhead has not had a par
ticularly good year, but Werner
knows that the potential is there.
Steve has not finished any
lower than third in five dual
meets, but only in the Pitt meet
did he come in first.

a letdown from the Texas school.

Mitinger Considered
For AP All-American
NEW YORK (^)—A halfback with dazzling elusiveness
and churning power, two brilliantly versatile ends, a big
center of all-around skill who leads an unbeaten team and a
rugged guard who has starred week after week are the east’s
leading all-America football candidates.
Syracuse Halfback Ernie Davis, ends Greg Mather of
Navy and 808 MITINGER of
Penn State, center Alex Kroll of
Rutgers and guard Larry Vignaii
of Pittsburgh received highest
mention from The Associated
Press board of experts.
Davis has used his explosive
speed and power to surpass two
Syracuse records set by the re
doubtable Jim Brown in rush
ing and scoring. Davis, a second
team all-America last year as a
junior, has run for 2,192 yards
and scored 208 points with two
games to go.
Mather has provided Navy with
the m argin of victory several
times with his sure-shot place
kicking. He also excels in virtual
ly all other phases of the game,
as a blocker, punter, pass catcher
and defensive standout.
Mitinger is another versatile
performer, dangerous as a pass
receiving threat and a terror on
the line. A 1 Clark of the Harris
