Track Cave-1n Causes
Tri-Meet Switch to Pitt
A cave-in on the Beaver Field cinder tra ck yesterday has caused the transfer of what
was advertised as Penn State's last home track meet of the season to Pittsburgh.
The heavy rain of the past few days re suited in the accumulation of water in a cess
* I pool beneath the track. The re
sult was a 15-foot cave-in for
a few feet along the east side of
the track.
When it was decided that the
track might not be in proper
condition by this afternoon. the
triangular meet between the
Lions, Pittsburgh and West Vir
ginia was transferred to Pitt Sta
dium.
The Lion thinclads will be
favored to even out their 1950
dual and triangular meet record,
having previously bowed to'
Michigan State and Ohio State
in a three-way battle and to the
Spartans in a two-cornered meet,
while thumping, Navy in their
Beaver Field debut last 'week.
Seniors Bow Out
Six seniors, including Captain
Jim Gehrdes and ace sprinter
Wil Lancaster will be strutting
their stuff for the last time in
triangular meet competition.
Others who • will bow out are
javelin tosser Wil Bertrum, shot
putters Chuck Drazenovich and
Doug Shearer, and discus throw
er Max Schlienger.
Although this is the last tri
angular meet foi the Statemen,
they will compete in the IC4-A
meet in New York next week.
Several members of the squad
will probably he entered in the
NCAA meet in June also.
The Lions enter the meet
favored to cop top honors, but
stiff competition is expected from
both the Mountaineers and the
Panthers. Pitt dumped -Notre
Dame by one-third of a point in
a dual meet earlier this season.
Seeks New Mark
Attention will be centered on
Vic Fritts, Ted Roderer, Lancas
ter and Gehrdes. Fritts will be
out to break the Penn State mark
in the high jump, while Roderer
will be seeking to better his
javelin toss of 206 feet 8 inches
against Navy.
Gehrdes, almost a sure winner
in both hurdles tests, and Lan
caster, who, will probably out
class his 220-yard opponents, are
expeted to 'turn in a nip and
tuck battle in the century. Last
week Gehrdes flashed home in
9.5 seconds ,to upset Lancaster.
The time would have set a' new
Penn State mark were it not for
a six-mile tailwind

Jim Gehrdei will

cindermen

burgh and West

Lion Golfers Face
Red Raiders Today
The Lion golfers will come up against a rugged foe this
afternoon when they meet Colgate on the Red Raider's links
at 2 p.m.
Sporting wins over Colgate in the last two year's meet
ings, the Nittanymen will carry a record of six wins and three
losses into today's match.
Coach Bob Rutherford's boys
will find their two chief nemises
in the Raider's tricky nine-hole
course and Bob McCall, Colgate
ace, who reached the National
quarter-finals before being eli
minated.
Coach Rutherford announced
that he will start Captain Toni
Smith in the number one spot,
followed by Ted Robertson, Joe
Durniak, Jim Yerkes, Ray Artz,
Alex Munro, and Bob Kunkle,
with Pete Kalandiak as alternate.
Colgate has one of the top
teams in the East, and Coach
Rutherford expects a tough
match. He believes that his boys
are "at their peak now," and
expresses confidence that they
will prove no pushovers.
The Lion linksmen will close
the season next Friday when they
tangle with the Bisons of Buck
nell.
Netmen End
Foreign Card
Penn State's unpredictable
tennismen will match strokes
with Pittsburgh, at Pitt, this
afternoon in the duel which will
conclude their 1950 foreign swing.
The Nittany racqueteers will
finish the season with home
matches against Bucknell and
Colgate next week.
State enters the match with a
record of five wins against three
losses. A win today will assure
them of at least a .500 season.
The Pitt game is annually one
of the highlights on Coach Sherm
Fogg's schedlile. Last year his
netmen defeated the Panthers,
6-3.
The doubles combination of
hicki Wieland and Jim Howells
figure prominently in State's
chances of victory. If these two
can perform as well today as in
previous outings the racket
wielders should be assured of
their third straight winning sea
son. The 7-2 upset of Duquesne
last Wednesday also raised the
team's hopes of a sweep of their
final three games.
