For the first year the Lions will have two real sprinters on the sprint relay team. Barney Ewell will probably be relied on as anchor man and Don Dolbin as lead off man. The other two positions are being hotly contested and as yet are very much undecided. Possible choices for these two spots are between Chuck Phillips (intramural •discovery), Martin . Sdhiff '(never ran before this winter), hurdler Barney. Plesser, Gene Neville, Jim Measday, Chet Wingert, and Mel Chelosky. If two good sprinters can be developed from this group dnd their passing can be perfected, the Lions should present a real threat in the City-of Brotherly Love a -couple weeks from now. Of course it should be kept in mind that the great majority of teams entered in the Relays have been favored with perfect weather whereas the Nit tany Valley has hardly seen the light of sun this Spring. WORD OR TWO ON EWELL .Tust a word or two about Ewell. As a sports writer on the San Francisco Chronicle so aptly put it, “Others make faster times but Barney wins.” How true this is when "we consider that Ewell has never broken 9.6 in the hundred yet has defeated innumerable sprint ers who quite consistently r.un 9.4 and 9.5. Just a few of these stars that Ewell has licked: Clyde Jeffries of Stanford, a 9.4 man; Hal Davis, now a frosh at U. of California, 9.4; Billy Brown of Louisiana State, 9.4; and Cliff Bom-land of S. California, 9.5. MAYBE A 9.4 CENTURY We won't say that bad breaks have been the ’’cause of Ewell never running faster in the past, but we will say that no logical rea son presents itself as to why he shouldn't break this jinx and. hit the lower times he’s capable of this season. True, in the. past he has moved fast enough to tpal his opponents but we are expecting to see him rim a 9.5 century this Spring, or maybe even a 9.4. Interesting to note what difference a running start, makes in a relay. Barney ran. last year, .ilO yards in nine flat with a running. start. All of which brings us •to Penn .State’s forgotten trackman and Barney’s capable understudy, Don Dolbin. A 9.7 sprinter, .Dolbin would bethe star .in. most schools. It just happens that he .rims in the same races that Ewell does . . . that’s enough said. • Pical ; %anch Rickey, trade .in the {fakffifa fHaVC . failure; ; of (Jdhnny; -Mize, exrCardi,- "* wll lw rrajj '■;PhL : &st^sacke^ytp v help.;i^ : Ta ta» failsuV • ging-problems' of Mel Ott’S Giants ' »v r«f}Kire J services, where he will join .other Penn State's football Lions un big .ieaguers Feller Greenberg, sheathed :their . claws and.gotout McCoy, Cochrane, and Mulcahey. on the gridiron again to sta rt .their Early season favorite for the third'week-of the Spring trailing rookie-of-the-year honors are Stan season.
