Track Varsity, Frosh, Alumni Will
Compete In All-Penn State Olympic
Games Saturday On Beaver Field
Penn State fans who have been bemoaning the lack of chances-to cheer on the Nittany
Lion runners, throwers, and jumpers have a real ,track and field treat in store for them
Saturday afternoon on Beaver Field.
The first running of the All-Penn State Olympic Games, the only home track meet
of the season, is the attraction featuring present stars and former track luminaries
like Curt Stone, Chuck Drazenovich, and Doug Shearer.
Since the Lion thinclads have
only two dual meets, with none
at home, Penn State coaches
Chick Werner and Norm Gordon
have dreamed up a track meet
which should be a dazzler.
Blue vs White
Th e freshmen, varsity, ineli
gibles, and the former stars have
been divided into, two teams, the
Blue and the Waite, which have
been chosen with nearly equal
strength so as to produce the
closest possible meet result as
well as hairline decisions in all
events.
Headline event is the first Mo
ther's Day Invitation Mile which
has drawn a stellar field of three.
Former Nittany ace, Curt Stone,
holder of numerous distance rec
ords and winner of races from
South America to Europe is the
biggest name in the field.
Going to th e marks against
Stoney in the Mother's Day mile
are Penn State's present best at
the distance, Bob Freebairn and
Bill Ashenfelter. Both Bob and
Bill are concentrating on the mile
for the IC-4A's and for the Na
tional Collegiate championships
later in the season.
A slight amount of luster was
taken off the meet when Jumping
Jim Gehrdes, with previous com
mitments, was forced to turn
down an invitation to run in the
Chick Werner Memorial 120-
yard high hurdles.
Shot And Discus
Chuck Drazenovich and Doug
Shearer, former star weightmen
for the Lions, have accepted in
vitations to throw the shot put
arid discus. Chuck heaved the
16-lb. ball 50 feet 1 inch last
i
year n the outdoor IC-4A's to
set a new Penn State record in
the event.
The meet will be run off under
c vial conditions so any record
will go down in the books
n.;, - .1.221n State marks.
For - Werner's present cinder
men, the meet has added impor
tance in that points scored for
first, seconds or thirds will count
towards a letter. This results
from th e scarcity of regularly
scheduled meets which lessens
the chances for point getting.

less than 1,000 or with fewer than
650 males in the sophomore, jun

permit unlimited use of freshmen.
Summer Play
In basketball, "outside" compe
tition "is defined 'as all post-sea
son, pre-season and non-collegi
ate play during the season. This
would rule out summer-resort
play and competition in amateur
and church leagues of tourna
ments. An exception would per
mit a college player to take part
in his alumni-high school game.
A two-thirds vote is required to
impose such, a ban.
Results of the mail poll will
not be available for about two
weeks:..
N.Y. Board Acts
The move against outside 'bas
ketball resulted from disclosures
in the recent basketball scandals
that players had encountered the
bribers at Catskill mountain re
sorts. The New York City Board
of Education recently barred
athletes from CCNY ; Brooklyn
College, and Queens College from
participation in summer basket
ball.
'Happy' Denies
Clubs' Plea For
Radio Money
CINCINNATI, May 8 (11 3 )
Baseball Commissioner A. "B.
Chandler today denied a plea by
four Michigan members of the
Class A Central League for
$40,000 of the money paid the
Detroit Tigers for radio broad
casting rights.
The four clubs.— Flint, Muske
gon, Grand Rapids and Saginaw
—had asked for a share of-the
broadcast money, claiming broad
casting of Tiger games in their
territory violated baseball law
and hurt their own attendance.
'Did Not Violate'
In his opinion, Chandler said:
"From all the facts presented,
the, commissioner finds that the
Detroit club did not violate ma
jor legaue rule 1 (D) during - the
1950 baseball season in territory
of clubs of the Central League,
"He finds that the Detroit base
ball club did not, in fact, broad
cast its games without consent
within the home territory of the
Muskegon baseball club, 1 the
Grand Rapids baseball club, the
Saginaw baseball club or 'the
Flint baseball club, while these
teams were playing at home, in
violation of that rule.
Conflict
While there is some conflict in
testimony as to isolated occasions
the evidence is clear that the De
troit club took meticulous care
to comply with the limitations of
major league rule 1 (D) on its
broadcast within the home terri
tory of Central League clubs, arid
the commissioner finds that, in
"act, it did so comply with these
limitations. •
