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

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.
It was the best mile race they’d
ever seen.

Joe Bedenk’s Nittany Lion nine will try for the third lime within
a week to play the Bucknell Bisons as they journey to Lewisburg this

The Lions had a game scheduled with the Bisons for last Wednes

and cold weather appeared Thursday and the game was called oil for

choice to take the mound against the Herd. Yount defeated Muhlen
berg Saturday and will have three

Bederuk indicated that Don
Stark, the little first year left
