14 Selected by Werner
To Compete in Relays
Fourteen men have been selected by track Coach Chick Werner,
to represent the Lions in the Penn Relays Friday and Saturday,
with one man yet to be chosen..
Co-Captain Bob Roessler will
two-mile relay squad. Bob Gehma
with - RoY Brunjes taking the baton
from him for the next trip. Soph
omore Don Austin will be anchor
man in this event.
In the four-mile relay event,
Gehman will be in the number
one spot. Jim Hamill, sophomore
from Coatesville, has been given
the next position. He will pass the
baton on to Red Hollen, who in
turn will pass it to Lamont Sinith.
Herb in High Jump
Brunjes will be leadoff man for
the Nittany distance medley quay=
tet. He will run the half-mile be
fore sophomore Lloyd "Skip" Slo
cum will start off on the quarter
mile jaunt. Austin will do the
three-quarter-mile stint and will
pass the baton to. Smith, who will
run the mile as anchorman.
Jumii,in' Jim Herb will repre
sent the Blue and White in the
high jump and Leapin' Dan Lorch
will compete in the pole vault
event. In the broad jump it will
be sophomore Ron Johnson, while
Al Schutz will heave the discus.
Lineup . May Be Altered
Rosey , Grier will see action in
three events. He will put the shot
and throw the discus and the jave
lin. Werner will take two men for
the 120 yard high hurdles, but so
far has selected only Bill Youkers.
The other man will be either Gary
Seybert, a sophomore, or Charles
Garson, a junior.
This lineup May still be
changed, Werner pointed out, be
cause the boys have been selected
on more or less a basis of past
performances, since the team has
not had an opportunity to per
form in time trials. Saturday's
scheduled trials were canceled by
a heavy rain and cold weather.
Wind Sprint Conditioning
"Sax," said Werner; . "will not
go to the Relays unless something
miraculous happens." If the soph
omore speedster do es come
through with this "miracle" it will
probably mean a revamping of
the present lineup.
The runners have been round
ing into shape through a series
of wind-sprints each day. In this
type of running several runners
race along at about half speed
until they reach a designated
marker, then they pour on the
speed for the remaining 30 or 40
yards.
TRACK TRICKS: Lindy. Remi
gino, winner of the 100-mete
event at Helsinki last year, and
pride of Manhattan, received a
spike wound and will miss the
Relays . . . A new mark was writ

Engle, Staff Await
Blue-White Skirmish
With only a week and one-half remaining for football spring
drills, Coach Rip Engle and his coaching staff are looking forward
to the third annual Blue-White tussle on Beaver Field May 2, in
order to observe - how well their instructions have been carried out.
The annual affair, which was inaugurated three years ago,
usually has enthusiasm running high in the camps of both squads
This year is no different.
Each coach is taking a ribbing
from the other as to who will win
the third contest, especially Joe
Paterno. He has been on the los
ing side' both times.
Thus far, Engle is pleased with
the outcome of spring 'drills and
believes that his freshman boys
will be a. good bunch.
"We have some freshmen
(sophomore's next year) who will
be top players and we hope that
they will be around next fall
and the following years," , he said.
One of the freshman who won
Engle's praises was Lenny Moore,
a scatback of Reading, Pa.
While with Coach Earl Bruce's
freshman team last year, Moore
scampered 76-yards
. for a touch
down against the Penn frosh on
a punt return.

The Lion's Eye
By JAKE HIGHTON
Collegian Sports Editor
In the literary field there is an axiom which states that
style is the man himself. How a man writes is supposedly a
reflection of his own character. Penn State baseball Coach
Joe Bedenk probably wouldn't disagree with the literateurs.
His own philosophy of coaching is practically the same
—style is the ballplayer himself.
Two incidents will best explain Bedenk's philosophy. Several
years ago State played against Rutger's habitually strong ballclub.
During the course of the game Bedenk sent three hurlers to the
mound, all of whom flashed equal ineffectiveness. Consequently,
Rutgers wound up with an 8-5 victory. After the game the Scarlet's
Coach Chuck Ward, former big leaguer, came over to congratulate
Bedenk and offer an opinion of the pitching staff:
"They were shelled hard, but everyone of Them looked like a
pitcher. They knew what to do with the ball."
The Other: . incident occurred just last week in a game against
Westein M a ryland. State was
deadlocked 4-4 beginning its home
fifth. In an attempt to stir up
a rally, Bedenk called on his
bright-p romising junior out
fielder, Tom Werner currently
hitting .364—t0 pinch hit. The
high fly that Werner lofted to
left field didn't unduly ruffle the
Nittany skipper. The game was
plenty young yet. But Bedenk's
blood pressure burst a vessel when
he spied Werner lazing back to
the bench. Leaping to the edge of
the dugout. Bedenk bawled:
"Run in. Look like a ballplayer."
In short, Bedenk logically
sons that if you look and act like
a ballplayer, you will be a ballplayer. With polish, dross looks like
gold. Thus the Bedenk accent on fundamentals. State's mentor calls
baseball, like practically all other sports, a game of fundamentals.
Two other of Bedenk's axioms are worth mentioning—hustle
and think. Axioms which are largely responsible for the fact that
State has not had a losing baseball season throughout the 24 years
that Bedenk has been at the helm. Hustle. A basic ingredient in
St. Louis' World Series win over the Boston Red Sox in 1946
when Cardinal Enos Slaughter hustled all the way from first base
to paydirt on a single. Think. What will I do if the ball is hit to me?
Where will I throw? These are elementary questions fielders
should always ask—before the ball is pitched.
Here's the Bedenk logic behind thinking and hustling: physical
errors are unavoidable. They happen to the best all the time. But
mental errors are unexcusable. Get rid of them and you will win
many more ball games.
Let's see. Hustle, think, look Peke a ballplayer . . . No wonder
the Nittany diamond toilers usually show a high polish.
DIAMOND DUST: Bedenk rates college ball• on a par with class B
minors on an overall picture although it has its extremes. Some
members of the squad are only class C or D'ers while others like
ex-Duke star Dick Groat are big league stuff in college—if you in
clude Pittsburgh in the majors . . . Bedenk believes that the colleges
will eventually replace the minor leagues as training ground for the
majors. He says, "The growth of television and radio is bound to
continue eliminating the minors, and now the colleges will take the
lead in developing players." . . . Big league birddoggers are increas
ingly evident at collegiate games. . . . Bedenk is in his 28th year of
coaching baseball (five at Rice Institute).
