through with flying colors in the
final Olympic tryouts at North
western’s Dyche Stadium, Evans
ton, 111., last weekend.
Three of the six qualifiers for
the Olympic finals from Penn
State didn’t make the team.
Jerry Karver, Nittany Lion
senor who won the triple mile
crown last year, missed making
the team by inches when he fin
ished fourth in the 1500-meter
finals at Evanston.
Horace Ashenfelter, bothered
by blistered feet, ran a cour
ageous race In the 5000, but had
to take a fifth place and finish
out of the money.
Jim Gehrdes, sophomore hur
dler, finished sixth in his quali
fying heat in the 110-meter highs,
and also failed to make the
Olympic team.
Ewell, who had been reckoned
as lucky to grab a third spot in
the 100 meters against such
touted youngsters as Patton and
Harrison Dillard of Baldwin-
Wallace, crashed through to a
victory in the 100 and then
placed second to Patton in the
200 in another record-equalling
race.
Barney drew the fourth lane
in his 100 against Patton and got
off to a good start. He was just
one of a six-man field until mid
way when the former Nittanv
T.ion triple-triple IC4-A cham
pion began to churn the cinders.
He forged steadily ahead and
at 75 meters obviously had the
race in the bag.
So amazed were the officials at
Ewell’s clocking that the an
nouncement of the time was
withheld for several minutes. But
a check-up verified the sizzling
10.2 time, which equalled the
world’s record set by Jesse
Owens in 1926 and equalled by
Hal Davis in 1941.
Stone, running a magnificent
race, withstood a stubborn chal
lenge by Jerry Thompson, Texas’
mighty‘little jaek-of-all distances,
to win cm the final lap by five
yards in 14:40.7.
Karver took fourth place at
(he start of his race at Evanston
Saturday afternoon and moved
up to the second spot in the sec
ond lap. He held this position
through the third leg, but dropped
back again to fourth where he
finished.

Sail for Olympic
Penn State’s seven-man Olympic contingent was among the 300
competitors and officials who went through final processing for the
London trip yesterday at New York.
The group was scheduled to leave for the Olympic games today
at 4 p.m. aboard the SS America, flagship of the United States lines.
As they hurried through the routine of passports, medical exam
inations and amateur oaths, discussion in official quarters centered on
the surprising Ohio State sopho
more Mai Whitfield, who scored
a double in Olympic track try
outs last weekend —in the 800
and 400-meter runs.
Whitfield, who competed
against Penn State in a dual
meet at Beaver field this spring,

Olympic games.” nredicted vet

On Snirit To Win
in Olymnic Gym
Gene Wettstone, Olvmpic gym
nastic coach, is counting on “the
Rood old American spirit” to
carry his team far in interna
tional competition at London
next month.
The 34-year-old Penn State
mentor, whose team leaves today
for London, expressed complete
confidence todav in the gymnasts
who’ll represent Uncle Sam in
the forthcoming games.
“This team.” Wettstone con
fided, “has lots of what it takes
to go places in international com
petition. Frank Cumiskev and
Vince D’Autorio, to cite only two
examples, proved their worth to
the team by their great work in
the National championships.”
D’Autorio. according to Wett
stone, was in severe pain
throughout the Nationals because
of a sacroiliac dislocation but
stuck to his guns and by a gal
lant effort in the late events won
eighth place fand an Olympic
berth) in the all-around.
“When it came time to present
the winners,” Wettstone recalled,
“D’Autorio was nowhere to be
found. I finally located him in
the dressing room, where he had
disappeared in the belief that he
had failed to make the Olvmpic
team.”
“We can’t lose,” Wettstono
chuckled, “if everybody shows
that same spirit overseas. It’s
about time, anyway, that we
proved to these foreign gymnasts
that they hold no corner on the
Olympic market.”

Again Defeats
Nationals, 5-2
ST. LOUIS, July 13—(AP)—
The National League All-Stars
went through their usual once-a
year accordian routine today at
Sportsman’s Park and the Ameri
can League romped off with the
15th All-Star baseball game 5-2.
The win gave the American
League an 11 to four edge in the
lop-sided summer classic.
This time spotty pitching on
the National League team and an
American League pitcher that
could hit as well as pitch proved
the difference.
The tide was turned in the
fourth inning when pitcher Vic
Raschi of the New York Yankees
—a newcomer to All-Star ranks
—singled with the bases loaded
and one out to break a 2-2 tie.
In the sixth inning, Raschi
rounded out his show-stopping
performance by striking out
Richie Ashburn of the Philadel
phia Phillies with the bases load
end two out.
Only for a brief time did the
National League enjoy itself.
That, was in the first inning when
Stan Musial of St. Louis hit a
two run homer off Walt Master
son of Washington.
Johnny Schmitz of Chicago was
the victim of the American
Leaguers’ winning rally in the
fourth. Singles by Kqn Keltner of
Cleveland and George McQuinn
of New York and a base on balls
loaded up the sacks with one out.
Raschi then delivered his single
and Joe DiMaggio got the last
run in with a long fly ball.
Joe Coleman of the Philadel
phia Athletics pitched no-hit, no
run ball for the American
Leaguers in the last three innings
to save the win for Raschi.
