NEW YORK (/P)—lt should
be smooth sailing this week
for all but one of college foot

Wisconsin, No. 5, has the mis
fortune of tangling with an

by its second defeat of the year.

Unheralded Harriers
Add Nece s sary Depth
Outstanding distance runners Howie Deardorff, Colin
Grant, Dick Lanipman, Lionel Bassett and-ice Nichols are five
sound reasons why State's cross-country Squaltstands unbeat
en in three' meets.
But more than five runners comprise the Nittany Lion
harriers. What about Wayne TOP LION HARRIERS
Seely, Steve Gill, Bill Flibsch-
Man; Ernie Johnston, Jim Young,
Ted - Imswiler, Dick Tuft and the
others?
Little do State 'sports enthu
siasts realize that these unherald
ed runners play an integral and
necessary' role in .the impressive
performances the Lions have
been giving.thiS season. '
Each of these harriers goes
through - the' same workout as the
pace-setting quintet of the- Lions.
Perhaps the unheralded :runners
work even harder. It would seem
only practical to say thek har
riers must run in .still greater
earnest to retain a position on
the squad.
SELDOM IS it because of a
lack of desire that a willing State
runner tau • not achieve' superi
ority. More often it 'is simply an
athlete's physical ,limitation. At
any rate, coach John Lucas makes
it a point not to tolerate any
careless and/or unwilling har
riers.
And by no means is coach Lu
cas' training schedule easy. In
fact, its designed to be tough.
Nesterday in the cold and
windy weather, for instance,
Lucas put the 'harriers through
a vigorous workout so, that the
Lions might, better prepare for
Saturday's meet against a power
ful Navy contingent. To compen
sate for the weather conditions.
Lucas, simply added, long-sleeved
shirtS and gloves to the ;runners
customary
.wardrobe of T-shirt
and sweat pants.'
And you 'can bet your winter
galoshes that Tuft, Imswiler,
Hibschman and,the whole bunch
of runners were•chugging at full
steam.
After, each meet coach Lucas
commends these often overlooked
yet praiseworthy runners. Lucas
always has something goi:id to
say about each of them, and dur
ing practie he's always shouting

encouragement.
This Saturday the last runner
across the finish line may be as
important as the first one. The
Lions will entertain a strong Navy
team that is undefeated in four
meets. A victory by the Nittaniea
will give them a perfect slate.
However, unless this second
group of . runners can -tome
through by blocking Navy op
ponents in the scoring column,
all efforts by . the leading - five
Lion runners could be in vain.
Since 'the Nittany harriers are
in no organized coggerence which
bases winners on ar*on-lost dual
meet record, the Navy meet may
prove to .be only the proverbial
"end of the begmning,!
