Ewell, Glenn Favored
To Place Today
The Nittany Lion trackmen,
led by-- high jumper Johnny
Glenn and sprint 'star Barney
Ewell, will enter the second ses
sion of the Penn Relay Carnival
today after failing to qualify men
in any of yesterday's events.
Coach Chick Werner had not
expected his tracksters to show
up well in yesterday's events but
stated that the Lions haVe a fair
chance of placing in several of
today's contests.
Barney Ewell, Penn State's
sensational sprinter, will make
his bid today in the special in
vitation 100-yard run. Although
favored to win this ,event, Ewell
has not hit his best stride this
spring and will probably have
considerable trouble with Welby
Williams of North Texas Teach
er's College.
Another Lion, expected to place
in today's Relay competition, is
Johnny Glenn, sophomore high
jumper who was second in this
winter's. IC4-A's with a jump of

This Is AU
A person can acquire a lot of
knowledge in one year, even a
Collegian sports editor. Some
times it's a hard business to try
to bat out enough copy to fill
eight, nine, or ten inches of news
paper white space. It isn't always
easy to fill up a column with
chatter which will suit everyone
—fans, athletes, and those tern
permental guys, the coaches.
But now that our year is over,
we can look back and reflect on
some few little bits of dope we've
stored away amongst the crooks
and crannies of our gray matter
some bits we won't forget.
There's the happy feeling you
get when someone tells you:
"That was a good column you
had this morning." This doesn't
happen often enough to make
your life a continuous picnic.
There's the guilty weight in
the pit of your abdomen when
you get, a phone call that "the
next time you'd better get the
story "straight before you print
it." This occurs just often enough
to make you walk down the dark
alleys and sneak by office .doors•
in Rec Hall.
There's the unprintable tales
you stumble on about the "bad
boys" on a college athletic team
—fellows who are heroes in their
school's eyes, but who have no
place outside of a zoo or aquar
ium. - -
There's the misty double
crosses and entanglements which
occur between the athletic ad
ministration and its athletes, be
tween coaches and players, and
between coaches. You can't say
anything about them if you want
to find yourself plucking a
sheepskin come June.
There's the ribbing you take
when you oick‘ the wrong winner
in a football game, in a boxing
match, etc. As a sports editor,
you either have to be a honest-to
goodness Yogi or keep your
mouth shut.
But, in face of these bitter
pills, you learn to appreciate the
really fine bunch of men you
come in contact with—fellows
like Charlie Speidel, Leo Houck,
Ridge Riley and others. Knowing
guys like these make up for all
the sordid details of sports edit
ing.
And you're damn sorry when
its all over.
-Thirty--
the annual high school reporters
contest, and presentation of Al
pha Delta Sigma awards for

During the afternoon, the
high school visitors will be

the northwest lounge of Ather
