Lion Track Hopes
In Millrose Games
A small group of Nittany
tracksters, probably all sprinters,
will open' the 1942 indoor track
schedule at ;the Millrose games on
February 7, but tentative plans
will Send a complete cinder team
to represent the Blue and White
;at the Penn A. C: guiles the fol
lowing week, according to "Chick"
Werner, varsity coach.
Barney Ewell, Penn State's
claimant to the title of "World's
Fastest Human" will lead the
Lion sprint squad - When it . opens
the board season at the Madison
• Square Garden meet, which al
ways boasts the big names of the
track and field kingdom.
The only. other Nittany dash
entrant chosen yet is Don Dolbin,
who developed into a brilliant ri
val for the dusky veteran last
spring when he turned in several
9.7 centuries.
' Barney, following his spectacu
lar victory over Hal Davis, much
publicized Salinas, Cal., sprint
star, in the AAU 100-meter dash
last summer, is expected to start
his final collegiate campaign by
continuing his victory string.
Probable competition against
Ewell and Dolbin in the dash
events will include such outstand
ing possibilities. as Davis, Tarrant
of Alabama State, Carter and
Stickel of Pitt, and other national
dash stars invited by the Millrose
invitation committee.
The Penn A. C. contests will
give the outstanding members of
the squad a chance to show their
prowess in their individual tracl
and field events.
Norm Gordon's time of 9:37 in
the two-mile event is a most out
standing tine in comparison with
.other indoor collegiate efforts.
Gordon, newly elected 1942 har
rier captain, turned in this per
formance on .the sharp-cornered
Rec Hall.runway, but was pushed
hard by Alex Bourgerie,' Herm
Goffberg, Curt Stone, and Mac
Smith, a well-conditioned quartet
of distance runners.

To offset this loss, Galbraith hopes

Numeral Awards
May Be Confusing
Laugh off those bluebooks, Joe
Athlete, your main troubles are
over—you don't have to worry
about walking around campus with
a numeral sweater that gives away
the length of your extended stay
on campus.
The proposed tri-semester plan
on which the Board of Trustees
will act.t.his Saturday produces the
possibility of graduating in 1942
with 1943. numerals or in 1943 with
a '44 insignia on your coveted
sweater.
The numerical problem of this
year's freshmen is even greater
since the '45 sportsmen will grad
uate in April of 1944, while the
freshmen scheduled to enter in
June face the astounding possibil
ity of graduating two years before
their ,class, along with their soph
adversaries, in '44.
To avert the possibility of grad
uating in 1944 with a '46 emblem
on your frosh award, an award of
PSF may be given.
The effect of the new plan on
the numerical sweater will really
be only a minor worry however,
to the athletes of the Nittany valley
with the possibility of losing one
semester's competition 'and the lack
of a chance to develop young fresh
men and sophomore candidates a
definite blow to both contestants
and coaches.
A few of the results of such an
acceleration would leave boys like
Potsklan,lßrosky, Jaffurs, Walters,
Davis, Halpin, Mundwiler, and
Banbury, sophomore gridsters, with
only one more season of collegiate
competition before they graduate
in the summer of 1943.
Other changes caused by the
speeding-up would cause Bill Jef
frey to be left without Johnny
Struck, ace goalie, "Smiley" Wil
liams, promising outside right, and
Lloyd Black .and Bill Prichard,
promising booters, following the
coming season. The 1943 fall sea
son would leave Chick Werner
without his newly discovered har
rier stars, Curt Stone and Mac
Smith.
These examples paint a dark pic
ture. for Penn State sports lovers,
but thO possibility of declaring
freshmen eligible by the Senate
Committee on _Eligibility, headed
by Dr. Franklin L. Bentley, pro
fessor of animal husbandry, may
help the muddle.
