Lions Virtually Assured Harrier Coach Says
Of Eastern Championship Nittanies Ran Well
Before the start of the 1961 football season almost every prognosticator in the coun
try was booming Penn State as the top football power in the East. Now, some 10 games
later, the Lions are just where they were supposed to be—No. 1 in the East.
State is virtually assured of winning the 26th annual Lambert Trophy, emblematic
of the Eastern major college
football championship, after clos
ing its season with a 47-26 thrash
of Pitt Saturday and accept
ing a bid .to play in the Gator
Bowl Dec. 30
The Lions topped this week's
voting for the trophy for the
second straight time by gaining
an average of 9.9 points out of a
possible 10. One selector named
the Lions second to Rutgers, one
of the two unbeaten, untied ma
jor teams in the nation.
Syracuse placed second in the
voting with an 8.9 mark and Rut
gers finished third with 8.0;

Navy was fourth with 7.1 and
Army fifth with 6.1.
Although one week remains
before the final vote is taken,
no one appears able to overtake
the Lions' lead. Syracuse and
Rutgers closed their seasons Sat
urday and of the top eastern
teams, only Army, Navy, Boston
College and Holy Cross have
games remaining.
If the Lions win the trophy it
will be the first time since 1947.
That year State won nine straight
games and then tied SMU 13-13 in
the Cotton Bowl.
Almost lost in the midst of the
Gator Bowl talk was the fact
that six State seniors sacrificed
the right to play in post-season
all star games, Captain Jim Smith
and end Bob Mitinger were to
play in the East-West Shrine
game at Kezar Stadium in San
Francisco Dec. 30. Both were also
selected to play in the Hula Bowl
(Honolulu) in early January.

Although Penn State's cross country team finished in
eighth place in Monday's NCAA championship run, Lion
coach Chick Werner was satisfied with his squad's perform-
"We finished as the eighth
any school can be proud of a team!
that does that well," Werner said.
"I. feel that our boys gave a goodi
account of themselves throughout
the entire season."
Werner was amazed at the
strength of the field that competed
at East Lansing,
Mich. "The East
once dominated
C ross country.
and th'en it
moved to ,the
Mid-West, b u t
Monday it was
the Far Western
teams that domi
nated the meet
with Oregon
State and San
Jose State com
ing. in one-two." Chick Werner
Werner foresees a big upswing ,
in American distance running
after reviewing the results of
Monday's meet. "The European
countries have always belittled
American distance running as
being sub-par, but after what
I saw, I definitely think that
the Unitid States is on the way
up," Werner said.
The Lion harriers ended their
season with a 4-1 mark in dual
meets. They finished second to
Michigan State, the only team to,

Gerry Norman was the work
horse most of the year. The Eng

(Pitt and Manhattan), and prob.

hadn't been hampered by a leg
