Youkers Wins
Both Hurdle
Events for State
By JOHN SHEPPARD
Manhattan's formidable
sprint corps climaxed its ban
ner '52 outdoor cinder season
by su c cessfully outrunning
Penn State's winless irack
liters, 84-56, on the Van Cort
land Stadium track , Saturday
in New York City.
In closing their poor season,
Coach Chick Werner's pupils
were unable to cope with the ster
ling running exploits of Jack o'-
Connell, Joe Schatzle, Lindy
Reznigino, Bob Carty, and Vern
Dixon, as the Jaspers outscored
State, 48-29, in the track events,
and 36-27 in the field contests.
Although the Lions were out
ctaSsecl in the sprint department,
on the whole they looked better
then at any other time this sea
son, and topped their previous
hie} of 54 points.
Herb Scales 61/s"
For the first time this year, the
Nittanies produced a double win
ner in frosh hurdler Bill Youk
dm. In accomplishing his feat, Bill
skimmed the 120 yard low hurd
les in-16 flat, and the 220 yard
highs in 25.3 seconds. Because no
one pushed him; Bill pratically
coasted: to his easy wins, making
little effort for good times.
Jumping, Jim Herb 'racked up
his third consecutive triumph of
the campaign as the undefeated
junior scaled the bar at 6'4", \his
second best height of the year.
Frank Gaffney, who is rated as
the second best high jump entry
in the IC-4A's, finished a ;close
second. Froth Al Ayers placed
third.
Bettering his best effort (12'6")
to date by six inches, State's pole
vautter Dan Lorch cleated 13 feet
for the second time this year to
win his event.
In the sprints, the best the Nit
tany spikesters could do was Bill
Polito's third in the 220 yard dash
and Captain John Lauer's third
in the quarter-mile.
Bob Roessler duplicated his
winning feat of a week ago when
he covered the 880 distance in
1:50.1. Froth, Roy Brunjes placed
foe the first time this season.
Johnson Loses
nosh broad jumper Ron John
son lost a heartbreaker to Jasper
Bob Drobinsko. Prior to the last
jump try, Ron had turned in the
bait leap (21'11"), but Drobinsko
Managed to get a little more
height on his last try to win the
event with a 22'2" effort.
Bill Body was the other field
man to garner five tallies for the
home forces. Body hurled the
javelin 167'3 1 / 2 " to take his event.

Duffers Get Chance to Compete
Against Gotldom's Bantam Ben
NEW YORK, May 26 VP)—
These chess wizards who play 20
or so mat ch e s simultaneously
with as many different opponents
are just pikers.
Ben Hogan is going to play
thousands of simultaneous golf
matches come May 31, and toward
evening it's not improbable that a
lot of duffers to whom par is just
a rumor will be popping their
vest buttons and gloating: "Who
is this guy Ben Hogan, anyway?"
The occasion has been designat
ed "National Golf Day," and it is
being sponsored by Life maga
zine and the Professional Golfer's
Association in conjunction with
the Western Golf Association.
Gives Handicaps
Briefly, Hogan, playing over
the Northwood Club course at
Dallas, Tex., scene of the 1952
National Open ; will match his
score against all guys and gals
willing to plank down a buck for
the privilege.
They will play over their re
spective home courses, and .their
competition with Ben will be on
Four IM Soccer Teams
Move Into Semi-Finals
By SAM PROCOPIO
After several postponements due to the short Monsoon period,
Alpha Tau Omega, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta, and Alpha
Gamma Rho moved into the semi-finals of the intramural soccer
tourney last night by gaining impressive victories.
Although Sigma Pi made numerous scoring threats in the late
minutes of play, Alpha Tau Omega showed some well-played de
fensive game in edging out Sigma
Pi, 1-11
Sigma Pi had an opportunity
late in the first period when it
took the ball out ten yards from
the goal. The booted ball was re
ceived by another Sigma pi play
er who kicked it straight for the
goal, but ATO's goalie chested-it
for a save.
Some fine teamwork five yards
from the goal in the last minute
of the first period enabled Alpha
Tau Omega to score its only goal.
During the second period it was
all Sigma Pi with near goals, but
the tight defense of ATO's goalie
again was telling. Well-placed
kicks by Sigma Pi were of no
avail when an attempted goal was
blocked only two yards from the
goal. Sigma Pi had approximately
15 tries for a score but failed.
Alpha Gamma Rho won from
Sigma Nu, 1-0, in a well-played
and •hard fought game.
Alpha Gamma Rho scored one
of the most outstanding goals in
the tourney when it-took the ball
out five yards from the mid-field
stripe. The ball was booted
straight, but a little high to the
goal when an AGR man headed-it
a handicap basis. Wonder ho w
many strokes we should give Ho
gan, anyway?
Club handicaps will be used,
and in case a player doesn't have,
a club handicap he or she will be
given one via the Calloway sys
tem, so that everyone has a
chance. For instance, if a player
shoots from 146 to 150, his eight
worst holes will be deducted.
The dollar fees will be collected
by the club pros and all proceeds
will be split between the U. 5.0.,
and a national fund for charitable
causes in golf.
PsyChological Advantage
Hogan's . progress around the
Dallas course will be broadcast
to locker rooms throughout the
land, a fact which could give
mighty Ben a psychological ad
vantage.
That is, a perspiring 'hacker,
having just moved his ball a full
two inches on his 15th shot in a
trap on a par 3 hole might be per
turbed no little if a courier
should rush up breathlessly with
past the goalie for the winning
point.
TKE scored a ls-0 victory over
Pi Kappa:Alpha when a boot from
the foul stripe was headed past
Pi Kappa Alpha's goalie—the sec
•ond of this kind of, the evening.

PHI SIGMA KAPPA

the tidings that Hogan had just
scored 'a birdie deuce on a. cor
.zesponding hole.,
Another advantage Beil will
have is that his rivals probably
will be pressing, overcome by the
thought that they are playing the
great Ben Hogan. Many a time
we've tried too hard and cluttered
up our mind with thoughts of the
stiff arm, shift of weight, pivot,
hand action andhatnot, with the
result our score jumped from 110
to 120. So take it easy, folks.
Hogan will be at a disadvantage,
also. He will be playing blindly,
not knowing what his thousands
of opponents are doing. Not that
he ever cared what his opponents
are doing.
Good Concentration
When Hogan is on a golf course
he's the only one there as far as
he is concerned, although he
might be hemmed in by a huge,
milling gallery. His concentration
is something to behold.
We might get a slight idea of
what to expect in the way of
National Open (\ scores this year
through Ben's round, although it
must be admitted that it will be
only slight.
That is, the Northwood Course
on May 31 probably won't be the
Northwood course of June 12,
when the Open , starts. What the
U.S. G. A. can do practically
overnight to toughen a course for
its big show could be done only
by someone utterly lacking in the
quality of mercy.
Rough that was just rough be
fore becomes unexplored jungle,
and traps spring up like• so many
miniature Saharas. The U.S.G.A.
just isn't going to have the sharp
shooters make a travesty of the
game on it's preserves, by gum.
Anyway, polish up that game
for May 31. You might win a
medal inscribed "I beat Ben Ho
gan." And no mention of the
handicap, either.
