Talented Duo Depart

A young man who has followed well in his father's footsteps,
and a stellar attackman who hails from the lacrosse capital of the
world—Baltimore; this describes two of Penn State's departing
lacrosse seniors Jim- Dean and Dick Rostmeyer, whose absence next
year is not exactly being looked forward to by Coach Nick Thiel
Dean's father was Lion lacrosse
captain back in 1918, and cer
tainly this season, this defense-
man has been taking great strides
toward equalling his Dad's feats.
Thiel, in fact, rates him one of
the most improved of the Nit
fanies..
-Like others on the squad, Jim
who lives in Aldan, is an "alum"
of the Swarthmore center. At the
center when he played, the la
crosse team had a 5-4 record, .and
he recalls coming to campus for a
game with the Lion JV's.

Sam's Son
By SAM PROCOPIO
Collegian Sports Editor
If one can't have a Bob Mathias, Milt Campbell., or
Charlie Wilson on his team, the trackmen who intend to win
any kind of honors may, just as‘ well expect one of the darn
dest battles in their lives.
Wait a minute! Who is Charlie WilsOn?
We know Mathias, World's greatest athlete, who has made
historians scrutinize records to the second and to the inch in all
track and field events. And too, he has performed the unheard feat
of becoming decathlon Olympic champion twice.
We know that Campbell, who is Mathias' likely successor and
who is a future Penn Stater (we hope!), is another versatile per
former. He came second to Mathias in the decathlon in the 1952
Olympics. Yes, but who is Wilson?
It was this tall athlete who completed a grand slam for hie
fraternity in 1950 and 1951 to secure two straight IM track meets.
Wilson ran, threw, and jumped , for Alpha Gamma Rho.
In, 1950, his versatility wasn't quite up to par. He only scored
all of his team's- points by taking third place in the broad jump,
second in the 100 yard dash, and first place in the shot put, besides
placing in the other running events.
He couldn't do much better in 1951 because he had already
accomplished the feat once.
Alpha Gamma Rho's big point getter, tied for third with a shot
put of 35 ft. 7 3 / 4 in. He was third in the broad jump. He placed first
in the 100 yard dash in 10.7 and then anchored his team to the 880
relay win. :The latter gallop is one for the book.
After the teams changed leads twice in the 880 relay to
qualify for the finals, Wilson (anchorman) took the baton from
John Terry, ten steps behind the leading runner. Nevertheless, he
finished one step ahead of his rival. Bill Hickey. Phi Delta Theta
to win in 1:39.9.
Two days later in the finals he was approximately eight steps
behind the leading runner when he got the baton, but still out
stepped his rivals past the finish line. This time in 1:38.2.
Wilson's performances may be one for the records, but Dutch
Sykes; assistant director of intramurals, recalls two which were
"odd but true."
Beak in 1948 Sigma Nu, Delta Upsilon, and Sigma Chi were
in a tight battle for the track championship. Somehow, Sykes-
Bischof & Co. misjudged a fifth place winner.
It was fine. No one said a word. Not 'until the field was clear
of participants and spectators. The inquisitive persons, however,
took charge of the affair. Sykes was notified of the situation. He
was only puzzled. '
Sykes began to check and double check. No dice.
He phoned the Sigma Nu fraternity to see what the "now
champs", had to say.
"You were wrong," came the reply. "The only reason we kncver
is because we were worried about him and watched him."
That was enough to convince the astonished Sykes and the IM
office to reverse their original judging. There is more to the story
than just reversing tallies and names. It cost Sigma Chi a runnerup
position and gave Delta Upsilon second place.
Three years ago • there was a complication which was more
involved.
Alpha Gamma Rho was unofficial champ, but a disputed
finish in the , last event of the evening in the 880 yard relay was
protested.
The team championship was at stake in this event, and Alpha
Phi Alpha was awarded the decision after Phi Delta Theta • was
disqualified. The-Phi Delt's number two man in the relay collided
with Alpha. Phi Alpha's man. Phi" Delta Theta protested the de
cision since these points were needed tb*ort , ''•••
The IM officials had the - sitfiation• 'under control . tlry
ordered a rerun. The proposed rerun; however, had to be canceled
becafise some of the teams were unable to field a complete s:ituadt , ,A
It was finally run, with Alpha Phi Alpha taking the midis' ptiteti
honors.
Sykes has had troubles in completing most of his intram l
ura' .
sports on time because of the weatherman. (Once again the State
College weather 'is a gripe.) The busy man of intramurals asked us
several days ago:
"If you newspapermen have any correspondence with the
weatherman, give us good weather for the next four days."
Dutch, if we had any, State College, Pa.. would be the only
town where the sun would shine.
