Jasper Track Team
Headed by Remigino
"The world's fastest human," Lindy Remigino, will lead the
attack of trackmen who will represent Manhattan in. Saturday's
meet aeaeaVer Field with the Lions.
Remigino earned his title when he won the 100-meter dash in
the 1952 Olympics, and will maintain it until he is dethroned in- this
event- at some future Olympic
Games. The 100-meter race is
109 yards and a few odd inchei.
Remigino ran the event at Hel
sinki in 0:10.3 and a little while
later tied the world's record by
hitting/ 0:10.2
But Remigino isn't the only at
traction . that Manhattan has to
offer. The Jaspers can • boast ten
IC4A Gold Medal winners. Be
sides• Remigino there are Bill
Schatzle, John O'Connell, Ron
Ferraro,•Lou Jones, Cahrlie Pratt,
Vern- Dixon, Steve Dillon, Pina
and Lucas.
• (XConnell, National AAU 100-
yard 'champ, has defeated Rerni
gino at times and - Schatzle has
beaten both O'Connell and Remi
gino. That just goes to substan
tiate the claim that the Jaspers
have 'three of the finest sprinters
assembled anywhere at any time.
- - There are three IC4A champs
on ;the Nittany team—Jim Herb,
high jurn p; Dan Lorch, pole
vault; and 011ie Sax, 660-yard
dash. _
The meet will pit the IC4A
champs (Manhattan) against the
IC4A runnerup (Penn State). Nit
tany coach Chick Werner said
yesterday that the Lions are the
underdogs, but that he is defin
itely not counting his boys, out.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Jith Herb . . .
State Record Holder Began at Botto
Jumping four feet over a horizontal pole raised to that height is probably the pro
achievement of most. boys above the age of ten. Jim Herb, Penn State's dean of 11:
jumpers, however, admitted not having been able to achieve that height during his fi
year in high school.
Laughing over his failure
tributes his spectacular rise, (he
holds the school indoor record at
6'7"), to good coaching and train
ing. The ability- to jump over
what State's tallest basketball
player can walk under, is indica
tive, however, of more than out
aide pressures such as instruction
and knowing how to breathe cor
rectly. Proof of Jim's natural
ability in the high jump can be
found in any book making men
tion of that event.
Coming from a freshman high
school jump of five feet, Jim went
on to become PIAA champion .in
1949 with a hop measuring 5 ft.
10 1 / 2 in. after having set a 'record
height of 6 ft. 3% in. in his dis
trict meet.
After coming to the Nittany
Vale in 1950, Herb promptly earn
ed a place on the track team and
during his sophomore yea r, in
1951, be became in do or ICIA.
champ with a leap measuring 6 ft.
5 1 / 4 in. To prove that he was no
flash in the pan, Jim took the
same trophy two years later as a
senior putting 6 ft. 5% in. between
him and the cinders. Another
medal came with his third place
effort in the NAAU with a 6 ft.
5 3 / 4 in. result.
His most recent accomplishment
occurred in the just past Penn
Relays. With the winning height
set at 6 ft. 6 in., Jim had to con
sole himself with second place
honors at 6ft 4 in. . •
Jim contends that his greatest
thrill came when the Lion track
men copped second place in the
indoor IC4A's this past year, his
winning high jump contributing
greatly.
The man who has been unde
feated in two and one half years
of dual meet competition will
leave a gap not too easily filled.
By HERM WEISKOPF
After last week's showing at
Pitt; the Lions are a 'definite
threat to the supposedly over
powering Jaspers. The Lions dis
played scrappiness throughout the
meet, and. nearly upset the Pan
thers. Once again the Nittanies
improved their marks when they
tangled with Pitt, and in this, the
final dual meet of the campaign,
they should be at their peak.
Rosey Grier will be facing some
tough opponents, but may once
again be able to pull firsts in
the shot, 'discus and javelin.
Besides being one of the top
track meets ever slated at the
College, it will help decide who
will represent the. Lions at the
IC4A championships May 29 and
30 in New York and who will
compete in the national champion
ships June 12-13 at Lincoln, Neb.,
Werner said.
At 10 a.m. Saturday the PIAA
track and field championships will
start. Any record set in the high
school events or in the dual meet
will be official because the Beaver
Field track will be measured by
a surveyor. The surveyor will,
mark the start and finish lines
with hairline stripes, rather than
the two-inch lines that are com
mon for other meets.
