Trackmen Vie Tomorrow
For Intercollegiate Honors
Although Penn State cannot be rated a contender in the race for
team honors in IC-4A track meet which begins tomorrow at Franklin
Field in Philadelphia, at least one of the 14 outstanding Nittany
competitors may wear an individual Intercollegiate crown come
Saturday night.
On a basis of the relative strength, of the opposition to be met
by Lion cindermen, Bob Free
bairn seems to have the most
chance to gain an individual title
for the Lions.
Threats to Freebairn's aspira
tions .are numerous. Villanova's
Fred Dwyer beat Freebairn dur
ing the indoor IC-4A's . with a
4:16.2 effort but will have to be
much faster to wi n Saturday.
Carl Joyce from Georgetown, in
door , Intercollegiate runnerup,
Brown's Walt Molineux, hepta
gonal champ, and Manhattan's
Pat Duffy can all win it.
Test Shea
In the two mile Chick Werner
has Bill and Don Ashenfelter to
see if Army's Dick Shea can be
beaten—a difficult task as Bill
found out when he finished sec
ond to the swift cadet for the IC
x-country title last fall.
Bill Ash's best this spring was
9:38 against Navy. It's not up to
Shea's 9:11 Penn Relay romp, but
the Nittany captain has been
concentrating on the mile. Aside
from Shea and his 60 second
eighth lap kick, Georgetown has
Penn Relay runnerup Charles
Capozzoli as a threat.
In the 220, the Lions have
scrappy Bill Lockhart facing Se
ton Hall's Andy Stanfield. Lockie
did a swift 21.9 around one turn
against Pitt, but Manhattan's Bob
Carty is down to 21.2.
Triple Win
Stanfield, incidentally, will
attempt to pull a feat no ath
lete has done in the 75-year
history of the IC-4A's since
Penn. State's wing -footed Bar
ney Ewell—a triple win in the
100, 220 and broad jump. Even
if he does it he won't match
Ewell 's amazing triple-triple
victory of the same three events
in 1940, '4l, and '42.
The Lions' Ted Roderer took a
javelin fifth in the IC's last year
and should finish even higher this
year. A determent to any of Ted's
championship hopes lie in the 225
foot throwing arm of Navy's Bob
Allison.
Vic Fritts and Jim Herb, a pair
of IC indoor high jump champs
can win if they can find some of
that form which has ben conspic
uously absent this spring. Trin
ity's Bob Jachens, who beat
Fritts last year with a 6 foot
6 inch jump is the man to, beat:
Tough Competition
In the 880 the Lions have Bob
Parsons and John McCall. Cor
nell has Bob Mealy, 1:53 hepta
gonal champ, an d Georgetown
has as much in Joe Deady and
Joe LaPierre, all with better
times than State entries.
John Lauer has been coming
on fast in the 440 but he is fi
gured no threat to Cornell's 47.9
Charley Moore.
Guy Kay has done 23.9 in the
low hurdles and has a good
chance to place. Kay has been
concentrating on the quarter but
ma y challenge Cornell's Gour
dine who wo n the heptagonals
with a 23.2. Against Navy, Guy
did 24.8 but don't be fooled. The
race was run around a 90 degree
bend and the time was just .7
from the stadium record.
Owen Wilkinson may cause
trouble in the pole vault if he
can conquer the 13 foot height
which has been his downfall all
year.
Mile relayers Lockie, Lauer,
Kay, and McCall can break the
Penn State record at 3:19.2, but
aren't likely to match a 3:13 time
Cornell is capable of running.
Maurey Captain Again
Don Maurey, of Clearfield, is
the second member of his family
to captain a Penn State wrestling
to am. Ji m Maurey, who won
Eastern 145-pound honors the
same year, captained the 1950
team. Don, who'll captain the
1952 team, won Eastern 137-
pound honors this year.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, .TATE COLLEGE. PEINLiSYLVANIA
FBI Will
Investigate
Sports
WASHINGTON, May 23—(P)--
The FBI is looking into restric
tions placed upon broadcasting of
professional and amateur games,
it was announced today. But at
almost the same time, bills were
introduced in Congress to make
sports exempt froth anti-trust
laws.
Attorney General McGrath- an
nounced the FBI investigation.
He said the Justice depart
ment is receiving a "substantial
number of complaints" about
"alleged restraints imposed by
professional baseball upon the
broadcasting and televising of
games."
Cover Al! Sports
But, he said, the investigation
will cover all sports, including
college football.
The bills were introduced by
four members of Congress long
interested in baseball:
Senator Johnson (D - Colo.),
president of the Western League;
Rep. Herlong, (D-Fla.), former
president of the Florida State
Baseball League; Rep. Price (D-
Ill.), a former sports writer, and
Rep. Mills (D-Ark.), who de
scribes himself as just a fan.
Anti-Trust Laws
Although all four -apparently
had baseball chiefly in mind,
their similar bills did not mention
baseball by name, but said that
organized sports should be ex
empt from the anti-trust laws.
These laws long have fright
ened leaders of organized base
ball.
Here's why:
Reserve Clause
When a player signs a profes
sional contract, he becomes the
property of the team with which
he signs. He remains its property
until the team decides: to get rid
of him.
He cannot peddle his services
to another club if he doesn't like
the terms he's getting from the
team which signed him. "Chattel"
has been the word used by some
critics to describe such a n
athlete.

Big Leagues . . .
Mel Paces
Bosox To
12-0 Victory
Lefty Mel Parnell had a perfect
day at • bat, three singles and a
double, while pitching the Bos
ton Red Sox to a 12-0 shutout
over the lowly St. Louis Browns
yesterday afternoon with a fsmr
hit performance.
Detroit and New York were
rained , out in the only other
scheduled American League
game.
During the slaughter of the
Browns, Vern Stephens equalled
Luke Appling's three-year-old
American League third base
fielding record by totaling 10 as
sists.
In the National League, out
fielder Sam Jethroe of Boston lost
a costly fly in, the sun and the
St. Louis Cardinals took it from
there to score a 6-5 victory over
the Braves.
The Redbird break came in the
fourth inning, with St. Louis
trailing 3-0. There were two out
and runners on first and third
when Nippy Jones lifted an easy
fly to center. Jethroe had his
hands up as if he were ready for
a routine catch. But he lost the
ball and it struck him in the
stomach and dropped to the
ground.
Hits Homer
In Chicago, the New' York Gi
ants, outhit three to one, needed
only one of their four hits—a
home
,run by Monte Irvin—to de
feat the Chicago Cubs, 2-1.
Irvin's homer,• his third of the
season, followed on the heels of
a walk to Wes Westrum in the
fourth inning and gave the Giants
their third victory over the Cubs
in as many meetings this season.
The Giants made only three
other hits—all singles— off loser
Paul Minner while Sal Maglie
surrendered 10 safeties to the
cubs.
Cincinnati hopped all over Jim
Konstanty in the tenth inning to
defeat Philadelphia, 4-3.
The victory, behind the some
what spotty pitching of Willard
Ramsdell, ended a four-game los
ing streak for the Reds.
Philadelphia held a two-run
lead going into the sixth when
Cincinnati tied it up. Dick Sis
ler, hitting safely in his 13th con
secutive game, rifled the ball over
the left field fence in the tenth
with two out to put his club in
front again.
