Thinclads Leave For Spartan Tilt Coach Chick Werner’s Nittany track team will hit the road for the last time during the dual meet season today. And at the other end of the line will be an old and fami liar rival, Michigan State. State, with two weeks of 1 will be out to avenge last year' The two schools have met once before this season. Two weeks ago they went at each other in adri-angular meet which also included Ohio State. The MSC aggregation came out on top in that one, with the Lions plac ing third. . Since that time, the Spartans of Coach Karl Schlademan have received a severe lashing at the hands of the University of South ern California, regarded as the strongest track team in the na tion. ■ 1 Different Result At the same time the Nittany thinclads were fax-ing well at the Penn Relays and giving indica tion that the result this week might be somewhat different than two weeks ago. The Lions’ hopes for victory lie in the ability of its runners to roll up the points. The field events appear to belong to the Spartans although with two weeks practice since the tri-meet, the Penn State boys might be ready to surprise. • Coach Werner will have his 'classy outfit of sprinters to count on. Headed by Wil Lancaster, the Lion dashmen should be able to pick up their share of the points. Besides Lane, the Michigan State team has Jim Gibson, John Lauer and Bill Lockhart to reckon with. Capt. Jim Gehrdes will run in ■both the hurdles and sprints. He will be looking for his fifth straight win over his former ne mesis, Horace Smith, in the hur dles test. Two weeks ago the Blue and White team could have held little hope of picking up many points in the distance events. But today it’s another story. No only did the distance runners show up well at the tri-meet but last week at the Penn Relays they knocked 6 sec onds off State’s own four-mile re lay mark. Ashenfelter Gleams Bill Ashenfelter, who heads the group, has developed into quite a runner. Sunday he did a sensa tional 4:11 mile in the Atlantic City Broadwalk meet.

A 1 Tkac was the losing pitcher. Leopard pitcher Fred Kroog, a sophomore with a record of 3 and 2, walked six and struck out four as he limited the Lion batsmen to five hits, ttyo of them scratch singles in the infield. Tkac’s control was almost letter perfect. He walked only one and struck out three, giving up eight hits. Lafayette chipped away at Tkac for single markers in the third, fourth and sixth innings. A double steal, that worked when a pickoff play by the Lions failed, accounted for the first Leopard counter. Kroog led off with a single and went to third on shortstop Len Fox’s single to center. Fox then stole second, with Kroog leading off from third. When Jack Kurty threw down to Joe Tocci to start the play, Kroog moved in fast. Tocci’s throw - to Kurty was high and the run scored. Outfielder John Bird led off in the fourth with a homerun to right field. It was his third round tripper of the season. A single, a fielder’s choice and another single accounted" for the last Leopard run. Tomorrow, the Lions will try ,to get some sort of win streak to gether when they play a double header with the Mountaineers of West Virginia. Coach Joe Bedenk’s starting hurlers will be Dalton Rpmberg er (0-2) and Bill Bair (1-0) with Tkac (3-2) held in relief.
