CAPTAIN, JIM SMITH: I
think it's really great. The team
we're going to play is on a par
with the best teams in the
country. We must still prove
that we are the best team in
the East, if we didn't already
do so last week. It's a major
bowl—the best thing that could
have happened to us.
808 MITINGER: I'm very
happy about it. I had mixed
feelings when I went Into the
meeting, of course. I had an
invitation along with Jim Smith
to play in the East-West Shrine
Game in San Francisco that
weekend. I think it will be a
very good contest.
ROGER KOCHMAN: Natu

happy to go. It seems like

Howie Deardorff finished three
notches behind Norman in 29th
place.
I The next Lion to finish was
Lionell Bassett in the 67th posi
tion. Bassett seems to like the
Michigan State course. He al
most won the dual meet against
Michigan State this year by
coming on strong for an eighth
place finish.
Ernie Noll, with a 74th place
finish, and Steve Moorhead in
89th position, finished up the
State scoring.
Moorhead was somewhat of a
disappointment for the Lions.
Last year he finished 38th as
State finished fourth in the race.
Assistant coach Norm Gordon
was not disappointed in the
Lions finish. "The whole field
was very powerful this year,"
Gordon said.
Lion coach Chick Werner was
unavailable for comment, but
last week he expressed the view
that his team would be out
manned by better competition.
"I don't think that we could
win the meet even if we operated
at top capacity," Werner said.
Today's meet closed out a sea
son which saw the Lion harriers
win four out of five dual meets.
The only loss, a 27-28 decision
to Michigan State, was avenged
today.

Michelosen Calls Defeat
'Worst In Seven Years'
It's a rare occasion indeed
when a Pitt football player or
coach admits that Penn State
is a superior team, but Sat
urday was that occasion.
Even though it came grudgingly
and with unquestionable bitter
ness, Pitt players and coaches
conceded that the Lions had the
better team: But what else could
the thoroughly thrashed Panthers
say after losing 47-26?
All State did was to admin
ister the worst defeat that a
John Michelosen team has suf
fered at Pitt, score the most
points since whipping the Pan
thers 59-0 in 1903, and in gen
eral, thoroughly humiliate the
Panthers.
"They had a tremendous foot
' ball team out there today," Mi
chelosen said in the quiet of the
coaches' locker room after the
,defeat. The rather young Panther
I coach (45), who has been under
fire the past couple of years at
Pitt for not winning more games,
was in a talkative mood.
"This is the worst loss I've
taken since I've been here
(seven years) and it was a sharp
1 1 Penn State team that did it,"
1 he said. "They were big and
that line just wore us down."
The Pitt
.coach was impressed
with the" ion' end corps. "You
have three " wonderful ends in
Rob Mitinger, clim Schwab and
Dave Robinson," he said. "They
have size, speed and know how
to handle themselves."
However, Michelosen singled
out Galen 'Halt as the man who
makes State's attack go. "Those
TD passes demoralized us," he
said. "I was really surprised how
good a passing attack you had.
Hall's passes were the big factor
in the win."
Michelosen refused to com
pare State with the other Pan
ther opponent's this year. but
he did say that this year's Lion
team was better than last sea
son's squad. "They were more
explosive this year than last
year," he said. "Last year you
didn't have anyone who could ,
match Roger Kochman."
Torn Brown, Pitt's star middle
linebacker, was impressed with
