track championships in Philadel
phia by taking first place in the
qualifying round of the javelin

Of th e Lions that competed
yesterday only Roderer, John Mc-
Call, and Guy Kay were able to
survive the qualifying rounds.
Although McCall finished third
in the third heat of the 880-yard
run, he qualified for the finals
when Carter of Seton Hall, who
finished first, was disqualified
when he bumped McCall on the
last lap.
Vorhees Wins
Vorhees of Georgetown,, who
had finished second with a time
of 1:56.6 was declared winner, and
McCall second. John's time , was
1:56.8.
Kay qualified for the semi

heat of 220-yard low hurdles.
Favorite to win the event today,
Charlie Moore, of Cornell, finish
ed first in that heat with a time
of 23.9. Kay's time was 25 seconds
flat.
State's mile relay team, after
taking an early lead, faded dur
ing the third lap and finished
fourth in its heat.
State Takes Lead
Guy, running the first lap, took
the lead, and Johnny Lauer held
it during the second quarter. But
McCall, still tired from the 880,
dropped behind in the third lap
and although Bill Lockhart ran
a good anchor, he couldn't recap
ture the lead.
Seton Hall won the heat with
a time of 3.19.9. State's time was
3.20.5.
Parsons and Bob Rosseler fail
ed to place in the 880, each fin
ishing seventh in their heats.
440 Yard Dash
In the' 440, neither Lauer or
Lockhart could place in the stiff
competition. Lauer finished last
in, the first heat, while Lockhart
finished third in the third heat.
Today, Bob Freebairn and Bob
Gehman will run in the mile for
the Lions while Bill and Don Ash
enfelter will go after the laurels
in the tw- mile event.
Vic Fritts and Jim Herb will
compete in the high jump, while
Owen Wilkenson meets a tough
field in the pole vault. '
Bill Ashenfelter's chances of
winning the two mile brightened
yesterday when Army's Dick
Shea failed to put in an appear
ance. Shea and Navy's javelin
star, Allison, must compete to
day in the annual Army-Navy
meet. Roderer's biggest competi
tion in the javelin was expected
to come from Allison.
Big Ten Renews
Rose Bowl Pact
EVA',NSTON, 111., May 25—(VP)
—The Bi g c , Ten today voted to ex
tend the Rose Bowl football ser
ies in the manner proposed by
the Pacific Coast , Conference,
which has lost five straight Pasa
dena classics.
The renewal probably will be
on a three-year basis.
In a surprising compromise
ballot, the Big Ten athletic di
rectors and faculty representa
tives approved the annual classic,
but with a not more than once
every-two-years appearance by
the same team.

By FRED SINGER
Ted Robertson's, magic putter
led the way to a Penn State golf
triumph over Colgate yesterday
afternoon by a score of 6-1. Rob
ertson, matched against Colgate's
ace, Bob McCall, beat the nation
al .collegiate finalist two up with
a one under par 68. •
State captain,' Joe Durniak,
jumped back into the win col
umn with a one up victory over
Bruce Miller. State's only loss
came when Hud Samson was
beaten by Ted Stacy, three and
two. Samson, four down after
nine holes, fired a par , 35 for the
back nine but was unable to catch
Stacy who carded a 36 along the
same route.
Remains Unbeaten
maintained
other matches Bob Bowers
maintained an unblemished rec
ord, gaining his fourth win over
Jack Eisenshmid, seven and six;
Ray, Artz beat Dick King, two and
one; Mary Goldenberg defeated
Phil Ching, five and three; and
Bob Kunkle beat Bob 'Culshaw,
one up.,
The Robertson-McCall match
was by far the best of the year
for State. The chances of an up
set appeared as early as the sec
ond hole when Robertson sunk a
40 foot putt for a birdie two to
go one up on McCall. On the very
next hole Robertson sank a 45
foot putt for a birdie three and a
two up lead.
McCall came back on the sixth
and eighth holes to even up mat
ters, sinking a 25 foot putt on the
latter hole. Both golfers had one
under par 33's for the first nine
holes.
Birdie Two
On the back nine Robertson
again moved into the lead with
a birdie two on the 12th hole, but
lost it when he double bogied on
the 16th. On the 17th Robertson
blasted his way out of a trap
to within a few feet of the pin
and sunk the putt . for a birdie
four, to again take the lead. His
second drive on the 18th hole
landed about 25 feet from the
cup on the edge of the green. Mc-
Call took his putt first and miss
ed. Robertson then putted and
the ball was cup-bound from the
instant the club head touched it.

Chicago, 10-1;
Kiner Homers
CHICAGO, May 25—(1P)--Home
runs by Ralph Kiner and George
Metkovich, a five run inning- and
five-hit pitching ,by Murry Dick
son today gave the Pirates a 10-1
victory over the Chicago Cubs.
Andy Pafko's ninth homer of
the season, one ofi only five hits
off Dickson, accounted for the
only Cub run. The Pirates bashed
three pitchers for 14 hits.
The Pirates knocked out Frank
Hiller with a five-run blast in
the
_sixth inning and continued
the violence against Bob Kelly
until Turk Lown retired them in
order in the ninth.

half the Pittsburgh runs with his
homer, a double and two singles.

inning run when Kiner walked,
took second on Gus Bell's tap in
frcint of the plate and scored on
Wally Westlake's t single to left.
Pafko's homer tied the score in
the Cubs' half of the inning.
The deadlock was broken in
the fourth' when Kiner's smash
came to rest among the left field
seats.
The Bucs assumed a two-run
margin in the fifth on ' Metko
vich's windblown home run into
the right field bleacher.
The Cubs fizzled a chance when
they had men on first and third
with none out in the fifth. The
end came for Hiller in the sixth.
Kiner's double, McCullough's
triple, singles by Dickson and
Castiglione and Westlake's walk
were enough for Hiller, and Met
