Bankert Named
Lion Ski Captain
Skiing Coach Sherman Fogg
has announced that Bud Bank
ert will captain next year's
team. Other letterwinners in
clude Jim Raymond and Roy
Jansen, the only skiers gradu
ating, and Jack c.irch, Dave
Bischoff, Ed Drennan, Chuck
Suitch and Paul Friese.
The team was handicapped
this year, Coach Fogg explained,
by inexperience. Five letter
winners were sophomores, and
with another year of experience
the team should improve.
Participating in only twa
meets this winter, the skiing
team compiled a mediocre rec
ord, finishing, last of 15 teams
in the Snow Ridge Invitational
Meet three weeks ago and 12th
of 14 teams in the Intercollegiate
Skiing Union Meet.
Bankert, a junior in educe-.
tion, from York, was the bright
est spot on this year's- record.
He captured 13th in cross coun
try, 16th in, classic combined and
18th in jurrip in the ISU meet out
of a field of about 50.
Linc Van Sickel, who had some
experience this year, Egmont
Cronau, who has left college but
may return, and two State Col
lege boys, Coleman and Rimmey,
who are now freshmen, are ex
pected to add depth to the team.
Bill Aiken will be the head man
ager.
Two Records
Penn State holds two NCAA
records. In- 1932, 31 institutions
were entered in the tournament.
In 1941 there were 66 individual
entries. Both records still stand.
