"WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, »*7 Between the Lions by TOM LYON “Sf I had it to do over again,” Michigan State track coach Karl Schlademan said, “I wouldn’t send Dianetti out to set the pace.” A a it was, the brilliant Spartan freshman upset Penn State’s strategy in the much-publicized mile Saturday. The way Lion Coach Chick Werner and Karver had figured to win the race was this: set a pace So fast that Llanetti would n’t be able to double on the final lap. Karver set out to run a 4:10 mile, two second faster than he’d ever done. On the final turn of the first lap, Dianetti overtook the Penn Shite star, but contin ued to set a blistering pace for two quarters. GUESSING GAME Werner had figured that Dia netti might not stand up under a hot mile. The best the lfi-year-old Bast Rochester flash had done was 4:16 in the Drake Relays. The rub was that Werner was not sure that Karver could last over a 4:10 course, and it was doubtful if the third man in the race, inimitable Fearless Fosdick would finish, Ashenfelter, when told of Penn State’s strategy, merely smiled and said that it would be too bad if Dianetti cracked and finished third. At the time it was a toss up whether Ash was figuring on finishing first. The guy is afraid of nothing. He lopped two seconds oft his previous best time Saturday af ternoon, and if either Karver or Dianetti would have faltered it would have been Fearless Fos dick who gathered the headlines Sunday tARVER FINISHES STRONG chlademan’s plan was to run the kick out of Kafver.

SPA#"* s&s*** spot# membered that Karver had out sprinted Dianetti in their cross country duel last fall, and feared the Lion IC-4A champion’s strong finish. Werner noted, that Dianetti fin ished the cross country with ter rific speed, and reports kept com ing in that the Spartan was win ning all his miles with ah un beatable kick. So, with fingers crossed, both n.ilers went into the race, de termined to run each other into the ground. In the end Karver out-kicked his opponent to fin ish in a 4:11.6, the fastest time he’s ever done, and the fastest college mile since Bobby Ginn ran a 4:11.1 in'l942. COUNTING ON ENDURANCE Werner apparently was count ing on Karver’s endurance rath er than, his kick, which has been inconsistent until now. The Lion star ran a 4:12.8 February 28, arid one month later ran a 4:28. Everything depended on the weather. Saturday afternoon was perfect, but th e track was- slow from recent rain, snow and frost. The experts who had predicted a 4:12 mile wer e worried. If Kar ver had one of his off days, the time would be sickening. And it was still to be found if the track was good enough to help the runners to reoord time. To top it off, a triangular high school meet was held on Beaver field the day before. But the experts. wer e right. Karver established himself as the fastest college miler in the na tion. Ashenfelter continued to slice seconds off his best -time. And the 6000 who saw it agreed.
