During most of that period he protected the big plane’s rear while the bombardier up front peppered Jap positions in the Carolines and Marianas with packaged TNT. .. . In June 1945 “Pappy” received his discharge, and the following autumn he entered the College, a member of toe last freshman class to appear on campus. Like hi§ contemporary, A»henfelter, the future harrier had never run in a competitive meet prior to entering the College. A roommate, John Gray, who was a dash man on the track team persuaded the Air Force veteran to try running. Luckily for the for tunes of the College cross-country squad the chunky Longenecker took Gray’s advice and decided to become a harrier. “Running cross-country was my own idea, he said. I always felt I could run long distances better than short dashes, and cross country offers plenty of distance.” . . Since 1946, when he made the varsity team, Don has been a consistent, if unspectacular, runner for Coach Chick Werner on both the cross-country and track squads. In track he specialized on the one and two-mile runs. BAM FIRST Strangely enough, he has won only one race in his career. The only time he was able to breast the tape ahead of the rest of the field was in his first year of competition, a one-mile run m a dual track meet against Colgate In 1946. Longenecker’s love for running (n»y have cost Baseball Coach Joe Bedenk a top-flight hurler. While on duty with the Seventh Air Force Hickam Field contingent, he oitqe pitched a no-hit, no-run game for his outfit. , In appearance, “Pappy” looka like anything but an athlete. He is short, only 5 feet 5 inches in height, weighs 136 pounds, and his hairline is showing signs of beating a hasty retreat from the vicinity of his forehead. "My greatest thrill,” he replied in answer to a question, “was helping Penn State capture toe NCAA title at East Lansing last year. Although I only placed fifth, I was the fifth Penn Stater to cross the line and helped clinch the crown.” “I guess my best individual rice,” he added, "was the one where I came in first, for the only time in my life, against Colgate in 1946.” graduate work Although the cross-country veteran graduates in February he plans to take graduate work in his chosen field, agronomy, here at the College and obtain a master's degree. After that he hopes to secure a position aa teacher or research worker. And even though his collegiate career has ended, he hasn’t given up running. Last Saturday he competed in the NAAU 10,000 meter race in which a Penn State alumnus, Curt Stone, was nar rowly nosed out by Rhode Island State’s Bob Black. Longenecker finished 16th in a classy field. Like Stqne, he will run under the auspices of Shanahan Catholic Club in future races. Modest in manner, Longenecker has e high regard for hiß team mate, Horace Ashenfelter. He thinks the Nittany cross-country cap tain is one of the finest, if not the finest, distance runners in the nation. “As for my age,” he laughed, "it’s beginning to tell on me, I guess. Especially on the hills. When I go uphill I can feel every one of those 32 years bearing right down on me.” The big question, however, still remains. How long can “Pappy” continue to outrun Olfi Man Age? mates, however, as the Twenty- Niners racked up a 22-12 victory over the dormers.
