AftEHli 23,, 1^52 Between the Lions One of the most discussed subjects of the local hot stove league these days is what colors Farrell High School’s All-State basketeer, Julius McCoy, wili wear next year. McCoy, a two-time All-Stater for Farrell’s state champions, is considered one of the greatest cagers Pennsylvania has ever pro duced and a sure-shot collegiate. prospect. Although he’s short as modern centers go (6-1), he is a, phenomenal rebounder and a great shot. Against some of the toughest opposition in the WPIAL “Hooks” managed to average close to 28 points per game. ' But McCoy's athletic feats don't end with the hardwood sport, for he is an outstanding trackman and gridder. He was named a football All-Section back and end, and has been. clocked in 9.9 in the 100 yard dash. It’s no secret that the college scouts are' flocking .to McCoy’s door; most, no doubt, with, lucrative offers. Penn State; Duquesne, and St. Francis .are three local schools very-much in the running for this great athlete. Most of the Pittsburgh papers and other local sportsters be* lieve Penn State has him sewed up—but One never knows in a situation like this. The Pittsburgh Press said rumors are that he's coming io Slate, not only for basketball but fooi ball also. Tlje Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that he would probably come io 'the Nittatiy Vale, since Duquesne ytas not interested. The Cukes already hhve tyro fine pivolriien. One of the Johnstown scribes believes St. Fran cis is still in the thick of things. Coach William Hughes managed to get Bill Wanish, All-State performer from Allen town four years ago, and last season landed Maurice Stokes, one of the top freshman players of the year. One hindrance is that the Loretto school doesn’t have a track squad. Although freshmen will be ineligible for varsity competition next sekson, McCoy, if he does enroll at the College, could form the nu cleus of a powerful frosh quintet. And looking in the future, McCoy could team with Jesse -4-melle to form a terrific court duo. We’ll .just keep oUb fingers crossed and hope—it’s a great school, Julius, and you’d love it. Penn Relay Outlook Dim For Nittany Trackmen Coach Chick Werner takes his young and inexperienced outdoor track squad to the annual jjPenn Relay Carnival at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on Friday and Saturday afternoons' with only dim hopes of'repeating last season’s four mile relay feat. The. principal reason for assuming such a stand is that this season’s team'is virtually composed of freshmen and. sophomores who will undoubtedly make the frequent running mistakes of any non-tested track contingent, Because Coach Wefner must rely heavily on. frosh and sopho mores for depth, the possibility of State’s four mile relay team lowering the Nittany Lion stan dard of 17:24.6 set by Bob Par sons, Don and Bill Ashenfelter, and, Bob Freebairn last season is small. Behind Last Year's Mark In time trials so far, Werner’s runners have been clocked as fol lows: frosh Lamont Smith, 4:26.8; junior Jack Horner, 4:27.9; frosh Jim Hamill,- 4:29.4; soph Johnny Blood, 4:29; and, frosh John Chil rud, 4:29. ■ On paper,' addition reveals a possible "aggregate clocking of around 17:51, but in actual com petition about five seconds would be dropped for each because of running starts and meet condi tions.- This would cut the time to around 17:35, which is nine seconds more than last yearns record-breakipg performance. Shea in TWo-Mile • A further look as to how the Werner, distance men will do isn’t too impressive either. According to press releases, three of the sev en fastest college two-milers &re among those who will be seen on Franklin Field. They are Dick Shea of Army who won the in door IC4A championship with- a 9:05.8 this year; Captain Don Mc- Ewen of' Michigan who won the NCAA title in 9:04.6, and Johnny Joe' Barry, Villanova’s 1951 IC4A titleholder, who has a time of 9:17.9. McEwen has-too many relay chores to enable his-running for personal glory. However, Shea and Barry are to compete in the two-mile race in which the for mer has been the, victor for the last two years. Last April Shea, who went to West Point after combat action in the European Theater, set a Carnival record'of 9:11.9.

Must Improve Koons will flank creaseman Tom Goldsworthy on the right, while Doak Walker will play the opposite side of Koons. The attack caused State all sorts of trouble at Navy with mis •erable ball handling. If the Lions are to stop the Generals, the at tack will have to show decided improvement. ’ At midfield, State will line up with Captain Bud Wolfram, who scored the only goals in the mat ches with Loyola of Baltimore and Navy Wayne Hockersmith, and John Yohman. Thiel will use Tony Eagle, John Steinmuller, and Lucien Girard in the second midfield. Thiel Undecided Defensively, it will be Barr As plundh, John Henry, and John Amber with sophomore Don Bell taking care of the goal tending. Bell -did a commendable job against Loyola - and Navy, even though the results don’t show it. As to the game itself, Thiel is undecided as -to State’s chances, but he rates the Generals a better stick handling team and conse quently believed W&L will cause State a lot of trouble. Play at Penn Saturday Washington and Dee will also have an edge in conditioning, as it has already played six games, beating Oberlin, Kenyon, _ Ohio State, and Lehigh and losing to Maryland and the Mt. Washing ton Lacrosse club. After the Penn State contest, Coach Ben Collins’ crew will de part for Ithaca. N.Y., for a game Saturday w r ith Cornell.
