Body-Building Keynote
Of Weight-Lifting Effort
On the running-track of Rec hall, high above the furor of the
crowded court and corners below, members of the Penn State Bar-
Bell club can be seen at any time of the day going through their
paces.
Under the supervision of George Heller, these men devote their

championships at Pittsburgh on April 28.
spare time to rigorous .weight
lifting exercises in an effort to
promote physical culture, body
building, and weight - lifting
' throughout the student body.
The club was originated and
organized by Heller and Joseph
Errigo in the spring of 1948. It
was reorganized this year on a
larger scale by Dr. Bert Kessel
and Heller, and has grown to ap
proximately 35 members. How
ever, some 100 non-members take
advantage of the 'weight-lifting
'equipment.
The club officers are Bert Or
ban, president; Don Lechner,
vice-president; John Simkovich,
treasurer; and George Petro, sec-|
retary.
Fully Equipped
The club is fully equipped with
weights and bars of all sizes. The
long bars are known as the bar
bells and the short ones as the
dumb bells. The bays are adjust
able so that circular plates of dif
ferent weights may be attached
and removed. This makes it pos
sible for any one to lift weights.
According to Heller, no' person is
too weak or too strong to benefit
by weight-lifting if the proper
size weights are used in compari
son with his physical ability.
According to Heller there is no
such thing as ‘muscle-boundness.”
The condition of muscle cramps
from which many athletes suffer
is caused by the overworking of
one set of muscles while letting
the others go, or by untraining too
rapidly.
Many club members use the
club’s facilities to prepare for fu
ture competition. At the present
time two members of the ‘club,
Orban and Simkovich are pre
paring to enter the Allegheny
Mountain association Weight-
Lifting Junior championships at
Pittsburgh on April 28.
Olympic Lifts
The totals in these contests will
be figured on three Olympic lifts:
the press, two-handed snatch, and
two-handed clean and jerk.
When doing the press, the man
stands flat-footed with the knees
locked, raises the weight to his
chest, and then lifts it over his
head.
In the snatch, the weight is
lifted overhead in one movement
by throwing the weight up and
getting under it, keeping the.
weight at arms length, and then
standing upright with the elbows
locked.
Clean and Jerk
In the clean and jerk, the
weight is lifted to the chest by
bending the knees and pushing
with the legs. The’man then gets
under the weight to arms length,
and straightens up with the arms
locked.
One of the outstanding mem
bers of the club is Carl Campbell,
whose mates estimate him as a
potential candidate for “Mr. Am
erica” honors. Carl’s body de

Trackmen Point For Re
By JAKE HIGHTON
There' will certainly be a lot
more to the Lion track team this
spring than the Penn Relay Car
nival four mile relay team, but
an observer of a Nittany work
out is liable to get the impres
sion that the four mile quartet is
the whole track team.
In a sense, the last statement
isn’t too far off. Nearly the whole
running outfit of the track and
field team is trying for a spot on
the distance relay.
A two miler like Dud Foster
and even a middle , distance
sprinter like John McCall are all
taking a crack at the magic mile.
Other Events
Many of the men who don’t
make the four mile relay team
can immediately concentrate on
their other events. A fellow like

from turning his attention to his
half-mile specialty.
Last night the mile-hopefuls
ran the distance “within them
selves;” that is, fast but not
straining.
Lanky Bill Ashenfelter and
long-striding Bob Freebairn led
the pack home. Both jogged past
the finish in 4:30.5.
Jack Horner attempted to keep
up with the half-mile pace of
2:14 while running third in the
early stages. On the backstretch
of the fourth lap, he weakened
and Don Ashenfelter easily sped
past Horner for the third spot in
4:32.5.
Finished Fourth
Horner still wound up a cred
itable fourth'with a 4:36. Thus
he gives every indication that he
is out to haul down the fourth
position for the Relays.

bairn practically have the Penn

Horner.
Competition is so keen, for the
fourth relay spot that in Satur
day’s mile trials, if good weather
smiles, a situation may turn up
comparable to that which hap
pened to the Lions’ Stan Lind
ner in cross-country this fall.
Stan ran a noteworthy 27:01
five miles, yet could finish no
better than ninth. Similarly, this
Saturday, several may get close
to a 4:20 mile and still not make
State’s crack distance squad.
