Many Inexperienced Trackmen
Among Werner's 120 Aspirants
Of the nearly 120 candidates who have reported for Chick Wer
ner's track and field squad, only about one-fifth belong in the tried
and true class.
•The great majority are just an amorphous mass. But hidden
among them to be brought out by coaches Werner and Norm Gordon
there may be one or two Ewells, Gehrdes, Stones, or Ashenfelters
to keep Penn State in the focus
of the track world
Included in the group are sev
eral freshmen who recorded ter
rific clockings in high school but
who will not be eligible to com
pete for the varsity this season.
Although it is a shame that an
outstanding track team as Penn
State's doesn't even have a tune
up before the Penn Relays on
April 27-28, with the weather the
way it has been,•it is a good thing
no meet has been scheduled.
Tuesday's snow flurries forced
Werner to chase the entire team
to the showers early. But the cold
weather, which is hardly condu
cive to loose track muscles, let
up yesterday so, the thinly-clads
could run without warm-ups for
the first time this spring.
-The track and jumping pits are
still a bit soggy from the exces
sive amount of rain but they are
as sure to come around to top
form as the athletes themselves.
Yesterday, Werner took advan
tage of the brilliant sunshine to
send the runners through a drill
on an all-important aspect of run
ning distances longer than sprints
—pacing.
Aiming to hit a 62 second flat
quarter, it took a veteran cam
paigner like Don Ashenfelter to
know the pace. The smooth-strid
ing miler stopped the watch at a
near perfect 62.1.
Less experienced runners like
Sam Hamilton and Bob Roessler
had a tougher time trying to hit
th e mark. Hamilton pulled up
with a 63.5 and Roessler with a
60.8.

just three hits from the offerings
of Nittany hurlers Al Tkac and
Dalton Rumberger. Captain and

runs.
