Roderer Cops Javelin Toss;
Nine Wallops Temple,ll-0
Track Team
Finishes sth
In IC-4A Meet
By JAKE HIGHTON
Ted Roderer's intercollegiate
championship winning javelin
throw of 211 feet led the Nittany
track team to a surprisingly high
fifth place IC-4A finish behind
winning Cornell's 33 1 / 4 points
over the weekend.
The 14 3 / 4 points by State on
Franklin Field in Philadelphia
gave the Lions a one place higher
standing then last year even
though a year ago State's Jim
Gehrdes scored a double hurdles
win.
Successful Season
Saturday brought to a close a
successful 18th season for Chick
Werner. The year featured a
Penn Relays four mile champion
ship, a fifth ranking among
Eastern schools, and a 1-1 dual
meet record.
Kay Elected Captain
Guy Kay was elected cap
tain of the 1952 track team at
the team's banquet last night.
011ie Sax and Red Hollen
were elected co-captains of the
1951 freshman squad.
Stan Sporkain was elected
head manager for the 1952
season.
Sturdy Roderer, in a bright
college windup, got off his 211
foot throw in the Friday qualify
ing rounds.
In a day in which 'the field
men took the play from the run
ners, graduating Vic Fritts and
Jim Herb both defied 6 foot ' 3
inches of gravity to score in a
four-way tie for the runnerup po
sition in the highjump. Temple's
.Lyster won with a jump of 6-5.
. Kay Fourth
Next highest Nittany finisher
was Guy Kay with , a fourth in
the 220 low hurdles. Against
crack, competition Guy ran third
in the semi-final heat behind
Cayugan Flash Gourdine to quali
fy for the finals.
Although Gourdine won the
final in 23.7, Guy was a close
five yards behind with a fourth
place time of 24.2.
Miler Bob Freebairn took
fourth but was a disappointment
since he is capable of bettering
the 4:15.6 with which Villanova's
Dwyer won:
Caught Flatfooted
Freebairn was left flatfooted at
the gun but came up from an
early near-last position to stride
into second after two laps. The
effort was apparently too much
because Bob was unable to re
spond to challenges and finally
wound up with his worst competi
tive time of the year, 4:20..
Another team scorer for the
Lions was vaulter Owen Wilkin
son. Wilkie soared over 12 foot
6 inches with ease to finish in a
four way tie for 4th place. Once
again the 13 foot mark was his
psychological downfall.
McCall Spiked
John McCall, who was involved
in an elbowing incident twice
with Seton Hall's Carty in the
880 and the mile •relay trials, ran
into more trouble Saturday in
the half mile final. Mac was spik
ed in the knee during the first lap
and although he gamely finished,
he pulled up lame.
In the first heat of the mile,
the slower section which didn't
figure in the placing, soph Bob
Gehman ran a fine race to finish
third.
Bill and Don Ashenfelter had
sour endings to brilliant Penn
State track careers with finishes
deep in the two mile field.
Bill appeared strong at the
mile while running a yard behind
Georgetown's Capazolli while
Don was in a contending sixth.
On this fifth lap both Bill and
Don fell far off the race.

Roderer - Used
Rival's Spear
To Win Title
Ted Roderer pitched a Harvard
javelin 211 feet Friday to earn
an IC-4A championship for Penn
State.
The Lion's well-porportioned
javelin tosser; fifth last year in
the Intercollegiate Amateur Ath
letic Association of America
(that's IC-4A), made the big jump
to the top using a rival Johnny
Harvard's javelin.
Javelins Ted brought from
State were found a trifle under
weight. Managers Harvey Light
and "Sporkey' Sprokin drove
nails under the grip of the jave
lin and weighed it again. Ttlis
time the officials found the spear
to be too short.
Borrowing a Harvard javelin,
Philadelphia Ted got all his very
solid avoirdupois behind his sec
cond heave. The toss sailed out
211 feet and withstood the ad--
vances of all fine rivals in the
Saturday finals.
Thus graduating Ted put a
most fitting cap, an IC-4A crown,
to two years of work and effort
for Coach Chick Werner.
Ted won the state teacher's
college crown for Lock Haven
with 198 feet four years ago al
though his best previous competi
tive throw was 207 in the Middle
Atlantic AAU meet.
Ted had saved the best throw
of his life for the championship
occasion which counted most.
