Saturday for the second and final dual meet of the season. Two hurdle marks were shat tered in last week’s meet against Army, and a two-mile mark was missed by just a few tenths of a second. Since Captain Jerry Kar ver will run in the mile and probably a mile or two-mile relay, the chances of the Wernermen to establish their reputation as top ranking runners will be greatly enhanced. "The mild weather this week gave the pole vaulters and weight men a chance to prac tice." said Coach Chick Wer ner, "but we need men for the high jump to round out tils squad. If anyone has had any experience in the high jump at high school, he would be a wel come asset to the team. "In last week’s meet," con tinued the coach, "the winning 'eight was under six feet, so the position on the squad is wide open for anyone who has jumping ability." Jim Gehrdes. who ran the 60- yard high hurdles in 7 and 3/10 second last week for a field house record, will have strong opposi lion in Saturday’s meet. But. as Coach Werner said. “Gehrdes. for ny money, is one of the best . rdlers in th e nation, and it will jke more than just good opposi lon to beat him.” Relieved of double duty with he return of Jerry Karver to ;ual meet competition. Horace ■\shenfelter can devote his time o his specialty, the two-mile run.
