Challenge to
Chick Werner and his protege, Norm Gordon will be taking their track team ; QU.t
onto the Beaver Field cinders one of these fine spring afternoons to begin work in earn

• Gordon, who has been assisting Werner for the past f:
full this spring. The former Nittany trackman, besides handl:
have charge of the freshman
squad
But right now Gordon is won
dering just how busy he will be.
It seems ' that in the past, Penn
State freshmen have been scared
away by varsity records, feeling
that they weren’t quite good
enough to be a Penn State track
man.
But Norm says it isn’t so. “The
Irouble is,” he says, “too many
boys see only the varsity records,
and never get a chance to see
the freshman figures.”
The track mentor wants it known
that all freshmen who come out
for track this spring, with or with
out previous experience, will get
an equal chance. “The field is
wide open,” he says. „
A glance at the record books
shows that three of Penn State’s
greatest trackmen never ran track
before coming to the Nittany Vale.
Yet Don, Bill, and Horace Ashen
felter came to Penn State and
made the headlines.
Horace is still making them
too.. He left Beaver field and went
on to Olympic glory. Last year at
Helsinki he won the 3000 meter
steeplechase, and recently was
■named the outstanding amateur
athlete in North America when
he was given the Sullivan Award.
What’s more, the freshman hope-

tire season just practicing. Wer
ner-Gordon & Co. are in the pro
cess of arranging a unique series
of “telegraphic” meets. At the
present time the University of
Michigan and Ohio State have
been booked, and several more
will be scheduled shortly.
The meets will run like this:
During the week, time trials will
be held at Beaver Field. At the
same time, the opposing team will
hold time trials on its'field. Then
the results will be each
school, and times will be. com
pared to determine the score.
Gordon is extremly hopeful that
there will be a large turnout of
freshmen for the squad, and has
asked that anyone interested
whether he has had track exper
ience or not—report to him at Rec
Hall.
Here are the official Penn State
freshman records:
