Dianetti Seeks Revenge as ...
Lion, Spartan Track Meet
Promises Hot Mile Feud
Two top collegiate milers, Jerry Karver and Jack Dianetti,
who started a bitter feud last Spring in a dual meet at the College,
will renew their rivalry Saturday afternbon when Penti State meets
Michigan State at East Lansing.
In last year's torrid battle, Karver turned in the fastest Penn
State mile on record in 4:11.6, while his Spartan foe finished in his
best time, 4:12.
don't think that Dianetti will ever come close to Karver
again," said track coach Chick
Werner. "Last Summer Jerry
beat him in the IC4-A race and
the NCAA championships, and
although I'd like to see a fast race,
I don't think Dianetti has the
drive to push Jerry."
RATED HIGH
When asked about the strength
of Saturday's competition, Coach
Werner said, "Michigan State is
every bit as strong as Ohio State.
In dual meet competition this
Winter they defeated Ohio State,
and I rate Ohio State as the top
track team in the nation."
- -
Michigan State men placed in
almost every event in the IC4-
A meet last season.
Jim Shepers placed second in
the 220 and 6th in the 100 yard
dash, and Fred Johnson placed
first in both the low hurdles and
broad jump.
In the NCAA championships
Shepers placed third in the 220
and Johnson placed fifth in the
low hurdles and sixth in the
broad jump.
Another miler, Tom Irmen, has
turned in 4:20 mile times, and
Walt Atchison has run the two
mile in 9:20.
LIONS IMPROVE
"Quite a few men on the Penn
State team have shown improve
ment," said Coach Werner. "Jim
Gehrdes showed the greatest im
provement in running the high
and low hurdles, and Bob Harri
son, another hurdler, also ran the
fastest 120-high hurdle race in
his life last Saturday."
"Dave Pincus is coming back to
his last year's form in the discus
throw," he continued. "And while
we're mentioning improvement,
George Thomas and Ike Evans
also belong on the list."

Wilmer To Lead
Lion Soccermen
Spearheading.the attack of the
soccermen this fall will be Cap
tain Dave Witmer. The team's
second, jvigh scorer last season,
Witmetba has shown considerable
progress in early spring booting
drills.
With Witmer leading the at
tack, the Nittany hooters will be
striving for a perfect slate next
season. Veteran coach Bill Jeffrey
hopes for a very successful year,
but states that it is too early in
the sason to tell what the boys
will look like next fall when the
season opens.
Practice drills have been re
duced to three sessions a week
since the intramural soccer en
thusiasts ar e using the practice
fields from 4:30 in the afternoon
until the sun sets, but the
`friendly Scot" still urges all stu
dents interested in soccer to re
port to him any afternoon to the
golf course field.
Part of the success or failure
of next season's record depends
whether the Hosterman brother
one-two punch will lie operating.
Ken was the team's high scorer
his freshman year and the leader
of the scoring parade last sea
son until receiving a severe leg
fractur e in the Penn game. He
recently had the cast removed
from his leg which he had worn
since last October.
It is doubtful as yet whether

Between the Lions
Varsity sports at the College have a managerial system which
needs recharting. Politics enters strongly into this bailiwick and
votes are accorded to two representatives of the athletic associa
tion who are not in position to know each of the applicants for the
positions which their vote helps determine.
Often, meriting candidates are refused a first or head selec
tion because they don't belong to the proper fraternity. A more
objective selection method should be designed.
FIVE VOTES CAST
According to the Athletic Association's constitution and by
laws, the head manager is elected "from the three retiring first
assistant student managers by a committee consisting of the gradu
ate manager, the retiring student manager, the retiring captain, the
president of the Athletic Association and the coach." Five votes are
therefore cast.
The three first assistant student managers are elected from
the second assistants (candidates) by the graduate manager, re
tiring student manager, rattling captain, three retiring firsts and
the AA president.' Here, seven votes are cast.
In the past, fraternity men have formed the bulwark of the
managerial ranks. There has been a consistent practice of first and:
head managers sending out fraternity brothers or pledges as sec
ond assistants, with these brethren usually receiving the final nod.
"Deals" between first of a sport to "you vote for my man and
I'll vote for yours" have been commonplace. Similar deals take
place between heads and firsts of one sport with managers of other
sports. Repetition of these actions occurs in Blue Key elections
where managers form fraternity blocks to elect their cohorts, often
at the expense of more deserving students.
A rather typical occurrence took place in a major Winter
sport recently, when one elected first was a pledge to the same
house as the head manager, another lived in the same fraternity
as one of the retiring first, while the third selectee was a dark horse.
The head manager couldn't recall him, one of the firsts was un
able to remember him, and the coach, although he doesn't vote in
first elections, didn't know what he looked like.
To prevent fraternity brothers from going out for a manager
ship where his fraternity brother holds a vote is neither fair nor
a panacea. More objective voting must, however, be assumed by
those in ballot casting positions.
REVAMP CONSTITUTION
This column would like to suggest the constitution and by-laws
of the AA be revamped to eliminate the vote of the graduate mana
ger of athletics and the AA president. Although neither of these
men form a part of the political maneuvering, it is extremely dif
ficult for this duo to know how well each candidate for election
in each sport performs his duties.
Further effort should be made to acquaint athletic captain and
coaches with managerial candidates, and to obtain rating scales,
based on work done.
As for the fraternity vote exchanges, it is a very difficult sys
tem to alter. Perhaps the graduate manager could appoint a com
mittee consisting of coaches, captains and managers to investi
gate and remedy the problem.
