Trackmen To End Indoor
With Journey to Purdue
Coach Chick Werner's Penn Stale track team will bring down
the curtain on its 1950 indoor track activity Saturday when the
Lions invade Lafayette, Indiana for the Purdue Relays.
Captain Jim Gehrdes will head a six man contingent which will
represent the Lions in four events. The Nittany leader will run in
the 60 yard high hurdles. High jumper Vic Fritts and sprinter Wil
Lancaster will be the other in
dividual entries for the Werner
men
AFTER FOURTH STRAIGHT
In addition, State's mile relay
team, which has shown a terrific
disrespect for records this sea
son, will go after its. fourth
straight win. Lancaster, Bill
Lockhart, Guy Kay, and Bill
Polito will run on the eight fur
long team this week. Polito will
be making his first start as a
Nittany runner, replacing Gghr
des on the team.
The meet will be strictly, col
legiate and will be run on a clay
track, whereas all the previous
meets this winter have been on
board tracks. Coach Werner is
more than slightly concerned on
this point.
RECORD?
This might mean that the Lion
mile foursome will fail to break
a record for the first time in four
meets. But record or no record,
the quartet will have to be at its
best if it hopes to pick up the
marbles on Saturday. As compe
tition the Nittany crew will have
Ohio State, Big 10 . champion,
Illinois, Purdue and probably
Michigan State, four of the best
teams in the Midwest and the
nation.
Gehrdes' chief competition will
probably come from Horace
Smith of Michigan State and
Bill Fleming of Notre Dame.
Jumpin' Jim has shown his heels
to both•in earlier meets.
WANTS REVENGE
Lancaster will be out for re
venge against Fred Johnson an
other Michigan State athlete and
an annual competitor of Wil's.
Johnson topped Lanc last week
in the Cleveland Knights of Co
lumbus meet.
It will be the first time the
Lions have been in the Purdue
Relays although they have been
invited to all previous seven
meets.

Penn State Places Two Trackmen
On All-American Cinder Squad
Honors are falling right and left to Coach Chick Werner's Penn State track team these days.
A few weeks agc Captain Jim Gehrdes and Vic Fritts won IC4-A championships. Then the
mile relay team set a new Nittany record for the event for the second time this season.
And now the Lions have added to their laurals with the selection of two of the members of last
year's team on the 1949 . All-American College Track and Field team as listed in the NCAA Track
and Field Guide for 1950. •
The two Nittany thinclads
chosen for the team are present
captain Jim Gehrdes and last
year's captain, Horace Ashenfel
ter, Jumpin' Jim won his place
in the 220-yard low hurdles and
GEHRDES
-Ash earned his in the two mile
run. In addition, they both won
plades on .the honor roll in other
events as did teammate Wil Lan
caster.
RULES COMMITTEE CHOOSES
The team was chosen by the
Track and'Field Rules Committee
in a special meeting last June
and lists three men for each event.
The Honor Roll names the best
ten performers in each event in
cluding the three on the All-
American team.
Ashenfelter was chosen for the
team in the two-mile along with
Rhode Island's Bob Black and
Warren Druetzler of Michigan
State. The former Nittany cap
tain won all his starts but one
last spring, including the NCAA
29 needed the extra match to
down Dorm 40, the Foresters
beat Penn Haven-B, and the
Spikers ,outspik'ed Nittany Co
op-B 15-4, 15-6.
Because of the IFC Ball, there
will be no games scheduled to
night, but independents will re
sume, play on Monday.

and IC4-A championships. He also
won the Penn Relays and theYMA
meet at Dowingtown. Ash's best
time was the 9:02.2 he turned in
in winning the IC4-A title.
ASH RECOGNIZED
Ash, whose picture appears in
the NCAA Guide opposite the
All-American team, also won rec
ognition in the mile by be,ing
named to the honor roll in that
event. His triumphs there were
over Michigan State and Notre
Dame in dual meets and over
Penn and Navy in a triangular
meet.
Although he graduated last
June, Ash is still around Penn
State taking grad courses and
training for the pending outdoor
season.
Gehrdes also won his place on
the team at the longer of his
two specialties, the 220 yard low
hurdles but also like Ashenfelter,
he gained the honor roll in the
other, the 120 high hurdles.
LIST READS WELL
Jim's list of accomplishments
makes good reading. It includes
victories in the Middle, Atlantic
AAU meet, in the Notre Dame
dual meet and the Navy-Penn
meet. In addition, he was second
in the NCAA Championship meet,
third in the IC4-A meet and
second to Horace Smith in the
Michigan State dual meet. Jim's
best time was the 22.8 he did in
finishing second in the NCAA.
Although he did not win one
of the top' three spots in' the 120
yard hurdles, Jim's record for that
event last year is far from poor.
The Altoona Express won five
races including the Penn Relays,
the Sugar Bowl, and the Middle
Atlantic. He was second in the
Michigan State and Notre Dame•
meets and third in both the NCAA
and the IC4-A meets.
