FP.TOAT, JANUARY 19, 1951 State T rackmers Compete In inquirer Meet Tonight If Sie importance of something can be judged by the fervor it creates, then the Inquirer Invitation track meet at Philadelphia to night should come off with quite a bang. Penn State will be represented in seven events in the seventh running of the annual affair, while two of Chick Werner’s harriers will compete unattached. The Nittany two-mile batan carriers will consist of essentially the same group that ran in the Washington Star meet] — Bill and Don Ashenfelter, Bob Freebairn, and Bob Parsons. If Bill Ash, hdwever, can, be placed in the two-mile run, Bob Roessler will take his place in the relay. Same Mile Relayers The same Blue and White run ners that ran, the mile relay in the' Star meet will also run to night. They are John Lauer, Guy Kay, John McCall, and Bill Lock hart. Dudley Poster will leg it in the two-mile event with the possible company of Bill Ashenfelter. Jim Gibson will cut loose irt the 50-yard dash. Guy Kay in the high hurdles, Ron Coder in the pole vault, and Vic Fritts in the high jump will complete Penh State’s official entries. Jim Herb who leaped 6’7” in the Washington Star meet last week will compete unattached in the high jump, while Jim Finn will enter the sprint under the same conditions. Cornell Visits Swimmers Sat. Sweet as the use of adversity may be to the philosopher, a vic tory for Penn State’s swimmers after two defeats in two contests would be sweeter when they meet Cornell tomorrow in Glennland at 2 p.m. On a comparative time basis with Cornell Gas Borowy could possibly check in with his first 50 or 100-yard win. Using the same time criterion, Gene Kolber has a chance to dup licate his double win against Rut gers in the 220 and 440 freestyles. Against Colgate, Gene bettered his own Penn State record in the quarter mile (5:20.5) by two sec onds, but the record was not of ficial since he did not win the race. Likewise, backstroker George Hamilton, whose strong finishing kick in the 200-yard backstroke took down second place against Colgate, could win the backstroke.
