Spartans Top Trackmen;
Smith, Johnson Excel!
Ashenfelter, Gehrdes Fail to Win
As Visitors Triumph 83 Vi -47 Vi
Penn State’s track team turned in its best performance of (ln
season Saturday on New Beaver Field. But it was all to no avail, as
the powerful Michigan State thinclads did even better and downed
Coach Chick Werner’s Nittany Lions by an 83% to 47% 'count. )
The Spartans, led by Horace Smith and Fred Johnson, won 11
of 15 events and after overcom
ing an early Penn State lead
drew steadily away.
Smith and* Johnson each chalk
ed up double victories for the
Michigan State squad while Wil
Lancaster led the Lions with nine
points. Smith bettered the meet
mark in winning the 120-yard
high hurdles in 14 seconds and
the 220-yard low hurdles, in 22.5
tieing me world record In the
latter event. However, in both
cases the wind velocity was over
minimum allowance. Penn State’s
Jim Gehrdes was second in both
races.
100-YARD DASH
Johnson was victorious in the
100-yard dash and the broad
jump. He won the century in
8.7 seconds and the broad jump
with a leap of 24 feet. He finish
ed third in the 220-yard low
hurdles.
Lancaster’s nine points came
on a first place in the 220-yard
dash, a second in the 100-yard
sprint and third place in the
broad jump. Wil won the 220-
yard dash in 20.9 seconds, only
one-tenth of a second off the
meet mark, and was pulling
away from the field at the end.
Horace Ashenfelter attempted
a double win in running both
the mile and the two mile runs
but was successful in only the
first half. Ash took an early lead
in the mile and was never head
ed, covering the distance in 4:18
flat.
ASK TRAILS
In the two mile race Ash was
forced into third place, trailing
home the Spartan’s Warren
Druetzler, who, making his only
start of the day a successful one,
and Tom Irmen.
Penn State’s other wins came
in the high jump and the javelin.
In the high jump, Vic Fritts turn
ed in his best performance of the
year in winning the event with
a jump of six feet four inches.
Larry Gerwig, javelin tosser,
won his third dual meet victory
of the season with a toss of 179
feet 10% inches. Wilson Bertrum
of Penn State was third.
■yhe only sweep of the day oc
cured in the discus where the
Spartans’ Carl Miller, Jim Zito
and John Mueller finished in
that order.
Other outstanding perform
ances turned in by Penn State
cindermen were those of Ron
Coder in the pole vault and Jim
Gehrdes in the hurdles. Coder
was runner-up to Michigan
State’s Mike Bowerman but did
his best job of the season with
a jump of 12 feet 6 inches.
JUMPIN' JIM
Although Gehrdes ran second
to Smith in both hurdle events,
jumpin’ Jim was only a few yards
behind the Spartan speed star in
both cases and he forced Smith
to cover the distance in record
time in both events.
Coach Werner said after the
meet that the Penn State boys
performed up to expectations
but that they simply met a bet
ter team.
The Nittany Lions now turn
their attention to preparing for
the meet with Notre Dame to be
held on New Beaver Field Satur
day. The Fighting Irish lost to

Blasting out four runs in the op

distance. Riordan weakened to
allow the Acacians a trio of runs

trouble.
Picking up its runs in pairs in
the first, third, and sixth frames,
Alpha Tau Omega rode the tight

from the Panthers Friday.
Hen Albright opened the scor

slapped the ball in the left
centerfield pocket for a homerun,
his first of the year. The Lions
added another run in the third
on one hit. Joe Tocci tripled to
deep right-center and tallied
shortly afterwards when George

In the fourth inning, Tegtmeyer
