TEAM TROPHY
Olexy, Smith And Pierce
Shatter Records; Clark
Takes First In Pole Vault
Winning four first places and two seconds while setting: three new meet
records, Chfck Werner’s squad of seven Nittanytmclcmcn displayed the heat
form of their winter season’to win the team trophy in Catholic 'University’s
fifth annual indoor track arid field games at Washington, D. C.,-Saturday.
Nine new marks uverc recorded and three! were tied,"as the Lions’ 18
points in the open-handicap events'besting the'eflforts of Georgetown, Mary
land, Washington and Lee, Villanovn, and Catholic U.,'finished in that
order. State had only a few men en
tered in the intercollegiate group, hut
placed-seconcl to Maryland 'hy-pneing
strong eastern and southern eompe
tition,
Nittany distance runners.again-led
Ihetr -teammates with Peter Olcxy
winning the mile run, Bill Smith lead
ing the two-milers, and- Charley
Pierce taking the 880. All Ihroe men
broke -the existing meet records in
their respective events, Olex’y's per-*
formanee clipping eight seconds off
the, former mark as he won easily.
“William. Smith of Penn State, a
feeble looking gent who surprised the
folks with .a niule’s-kick finish of'the'
gruelling two-mile run? (courtesy of
Washington ITerald-Times), easily
outdistanced his competitors to break 1
the 1931 record.
Pierce, cross-country captain-elect
and varsity two-miler last year, shat-,
tered the seven-year-old half-mile
record by four-tenths of a' second.
Pierce’s flashy performance was un
expected and may solve Coach Wer
ner’s middle distance problem.
■Bob Clark accounted for State’s
fourth place by winning this pole
vault with a leap.of 12-feet recorded
in his first and' only trial. Clark in
jured his back on the first jump and'
was forced out.of action.,
In the featured event of the night,
“The -Rector’s. r,ooo,’’ Norm Gordon
ran a beautiful race to place second
behind Bill Morse of Duke in anoth
er :i-ecord-t=?hattering event. ‘ Gordon
ran Mason Chronister, Maryland aee
who finished third to Cunningham
and San Romani in the recent Balti
more mile, literally into the ground
and' finished strong, far ahead of the
remaining contestants.
Biller Frazier scored for the Li
ons in the 45 yard high hurdle open
event by taking a very close second.
Frazier Avon his-heat'in' the hurdles

finals Avhen * another record-equal
ling time was set up. Dave Bauer,
also slated for.that event, made a
last-minute decision not to make the
trip.
