WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1942 (llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll)IIIIIH} Between •The Lions Wilh DON DAVIS ' Sports Editor iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Just An Avocation . Best known for his speed on the 'gridiron with football under arm, Cliff St. Clair has turned to differ .ent spheres of action this Spring —and yesterday he came through with a new frosh record for the half mile in 1:58.7. The old record held by G. Offenhauser set in 1926 was 1:58.8. Although his run was ’not .during a meet, it was consid ered official as the frosh trackmen 4 are out of competition but are not as yet eligible for varsity running. When a boy is a. natural athlete as Si. Clair appears to be, it is for tunate that he is able to partici pate in more than one sport. Al though it has often been the case ■in the past that football players were discouraged from taking pari in other sports, this situation - seems to. be clearing up. Of course, a. football player should not ne glect the gridiron during football practice, Bui in off-seasons par ticipation in other sports seems to us a wholesome, condition. IG4-A Chatter Let’s take a look into next week ' end when the ICAAAA spiked shoe festival gets under way at Triborough Stadium, Randall’s Is land. Winners of this winter’s in door IC4-A’s, the Nittany Lions ■are favorites for outdoor competi tion with their strongest opposi tion in the form of Leslie Mac- Mitchell and his N.Y.U. contingent. • Need it be said that Barney Ewell will be leading the Lion forces as he seeks his third straight triple to impressively wind up his collegiate track career. And Bar ney is favored to do just this —a feat which would.surpass the forty year record , of. Alvin C. Kraenz lein, the 'Pennsylvania hero of 1898, 1899 and 1900, who won eight outdoor titles in three years. However it will take-more than Ewell's 15 points to wrest the team . title from N.Y.U. It will be just as necessary for point winners to come through in other events. Coach Werner's track squad has the men to pick up these points also. Norm Gordon should be good for third or fourth in the mile and Curt Stone should place equally well in the two mile run. •In fact. Stone's time at the Penn Relays was the fourth fastest in the country this season for official meets. If Johnny Glenn is fully recov ered, there is no telling how well he will do in the high jump. But he should definitely be a leading contender. Other possible point winners are 'Barney iPlesser in the low hurdles, Mac Smith in the half mile, Joe Bakura in the pole vault, and javelin, Saul Kanin in the shot •Don Dolbin in the sprints and Lou Borges in the javelin. Randall’s Island will undoubt edly be. the scene of Barney’s greatest field day this weekend — and deservedly so. But equally more important will be an all around showing by the dozen or so possible scorers. For this will mean the climaxing of a truly ‘great Lion track campaign. IT'S UP TO YOU ! !

Yount and LeWorthy have gain ed this recognition by the splen did firing which they have done throughout the past season, cli maxed by their accomplishments at the sectional tournament. Ken neth Yount, the frosh marksman, could not be considered for this honor due to the fact that such a bid has never been granted to a freshman. As a reward for their efforts, Mr. C. 'B. Lister, Secretary-Treas urer the All-American Association, awarded Yount and LeWorthy with two golden bullets and let ters of commendation. Penn State was the only team in the country to have two entries in the Collegiate All - American match. LeWorthy and Yount were sel ected as two of the best riflers in the country to make up the 10 man team picked by the National Rifle Association each year. Although Ken Yount could not be considered Mr. Lister said that Ken will surely be a member of the team in the near future. The scores which he fired this year certainly predict a splendid future for him as a Penn State rifleman, he said. Beta Sigma Rho Elects Samuel G. Fredman ’43 was re cently elected president of Beta Sigma Rho. Other new officers include Richard H. Schiffner ’44, vice-president; Louis S. Kapnek ’43, treasurer; Joseph Hodin ’44, caterer; Allen S.
