Lion Track Team Competes In ICI-4A's
Runners Face Stiff Trial Heats
Today; Cornell Team Favorite
Nittany cindermen today open a two-day stand in Phila
delphia for the 75th annual IC-4A track championships to be
held on Franklin Field.
Rugged trial heats will be held in most events this after
noon to determine entries for the finals scheduled for to
morrow afternoon.
Fo r the Lions, who lost to
Navy and beat Pitt in dual com
petition and won the four mile
relay championship at the Penn
Relays, the IC's are the windup
of the season. The exception is
that an y individual performers
who may do well enough in the
IC's tomorrow to merit a trip to
th e national championships in
Seattle, Wash., on June 16.
Cornell Favorite
Powerfully track- equipped
Cornell is everyone's choice to
take the team title won by Yale
last year, but Seton Hall and
Manhattan with their crack sprin
ters and Georgetown with their
strong distance runners must also
be figured as threats.
Last year the Lions finished
sixth in team scoring largely on
the strength of Jim Gehrdes' dou
ble win in the 220 low-hurdles
and the 120 highs. Vic Fritts
scored with a second place in the
high jump and Ted Roderer in
the javelin and Chuck Drazeno
vich in the shot took fifth places.
Two Mile Run
Today for the Lions, Bob Free
bairn and Bob Gehman are listed
for the mile run. Freebairn •hit
his outdoor high against Pitt with
a 4:16.6 clocking but has a good
chance to win if he can clock
around 4:13.
At two miles the Lions have
Bill and Don Ashenfelter, legen
dary figures in Penn State dis
tance running circles. Bill's big
gest competition will come from
Army's Dick Shea. Don has not
been up to par this spring but
he too can score in that event.
State half-milers today are Bob
Parsons and Johnny McCall. Both
will be among a tough field, but
"Wobbly Head" McCall is tough
in the stretch and Parsons may
show some of his high school
greatness.
Lockhart In 220
Bill Lockhart, a quartermiler
by trade, is good at the shorter
220 but here again the strength of
the field is against him.
John Lauer was impressive in
winning the 440 in 50.1 against
Pitt but here too the field is
strong.
With the rumor that Cornell's
"Flash" Gourdine will not corn
pete—he was spiked last Satur
day—Guy Kay's chances in the
220 low hurdles• are greatly im
proved. Larry Johnson of Army is
his other big worry.
In the field for the Lions Rod
erer, with a few more feet to his
208 throw against Pitt, can score
high.
Fritts and Jim Herb if they hit
their life time peaks can both
win the high jump tomorrow.
Pole vaulter Owen Wilkinson
meets a tough field in the pole
vault as do mile relayers Lock
hart, Lauer, Kay and McCall. Bob
Roessler will go as fifth man.

Stickmen -
Play Cornell
Tomorrow
Penn State's lacrosse team will
conclude the 1951 season when it
invades Cornell to do battle with
the Big Red tomorrow.
The Lions will be seeking re
venge for last year's 9-7 setback
received at the hands of the New
Yorkers, who ended up the sea
son with a poor 3-6 log.
Coach Jim Smith, serving his
second term as head coach of la
crosse at Cornell, is having his
troubles again this year. The New
Yorkers have dropped a pair of
contests to Hobart, 12-2 and 12-9.
State, on the other hand, whipped
the same club, 17-10:
The Big Red has also been de
feated by Mt. Washington La
crosse Club, Maryland, Army,
Syracuse, and RPI. Mt. Washing
ton, Maryland, and Army really
poured it on as Cornell suffered
16-1, 14-2, and 20-1 beatings from
those clubs, respectively. Army,
however, is a good bet to sur-1
plant Johns Hopkins as national )
collegiate champiorls.
Lions Affer Sixth
Penn State, on the other hand,
will be gunning for its sixth vic
tory, its fourth straight win. The
Lions have come along fast since
the game with the Maryland La
crosse Club, which State took,
-6.
Coach Nick Thiel will probably
open with the same starting ten
that has run roughshod over all
opposition lately. This team has
scored no less than 37 goals in
its last three outings.
Ike Williams
efends Title
NEW YORK, May 24 (R)—Al
though lightweight champion Ike
Williams is going to have a tight
squeeze making the 135 pound
limit, the Trenton, N.J., fighter
ruled a big 3 to 1 favorite to de
feat Jimmy Carter of the Bronx
in their 15-round title bout in
Madison Square Garden tomor
row night.
The 27-year-old c h amp ion,
making his first title defense in
17 months, started drying out to
day. He won't take any liquids
until after he weighs in at noon
(11:00 EST) tomorrow. Ike weigh
ed 135% today and expects to hit
the 135 marker right on the beam.
He labored through 15 rounds of
gymnastics to sweat off pound
age.
If he doesn't make it at noon,
he'll have until 1:30 to shed the
surplus. If he can't make it, he'll
forfeit his crown. The fight then
will become a non-title affair and
Carter will be recognized as the
No. 1 challenger in New York.

FRIDAY ; MAY 25, 1u5.1
Baseball
Team Plays
Penn Today
By DAVE COLTON
Coach Joe Bedenk sends his
baseball team against Penn at
Philadelphia this afternoon: The
Lions will try for their ninth vic
tory this year after losing their
third game of the season to
Bucknell Tuesday.
Tomorrow the Nittanies
play Temple in Philadelphia to
conclude their last trip of the
season.
Bedenk will probably, start
fast-bailer 0 wen • Dougherty
against the Red and Blue. Doug
herty was knocked out of the
Bison game but was not charged
with the loss. He has won five
games against no defeats.
Dougherty, District Nominee
"Doc" is one of two Lion play
ers nominated for the District 2
All-Star team. The other nomi
nee, rightfielder Bill Hopper, will
attempt to better his .410 batting
average for the first eleven
games.
Discussion of the All-District
team will take place at the
selection committee meeting in
Scranton, Monday. Bedenk is a
member of the committee which
will select a District 2 representa
tive for the collegiate world
series in Omaha.
Penn State was among the
teams being considered until the
Bisons edged the Lions, 4-3.
Princeton is the leading team for
the honor, although Ithaca, Hof
stra, Georgetown, West Virginia,
and Seton Hall have been men
tioned.
Penn Below .500
Penn has not had a successful
season, and is under the .500
mark in victories. Bedenk will
probably use the same lineup
that has started the last two
games. The only change •is in
batting order.
Harry Little will bat lead-off
and play at the hot corner. Bob
Schoellkopf will be in left `field,
unless a left-hander pitches. In
that case Captain Bill Ondick will
move to left. Sil Cerchie, will
bat number three 'and play cen
ter..
Hopper will bat in the cleanup
notch, and play, right-field. Stan
Laganosky bats fifth, and handles
first. Shortstop Paul Mowry will
bat sixth, followed by Bill Mi
halich, who has been hitting hard
recently. Clarence Buss will do
the catching. Right-handers Jack.
Krumrine, Bill Bair, and Bill
Everson will be available for re
lief pitching.
