Werner Praises Relay Teams;
First Competition for Lions
Chick Werner’s indoor track and field team will get its
first taste of competition this season next Friday in the tenth
annual Inquirer Games at Convention Hall, Philadelphia.
Fifteen Nittany thinclads have been entered by Werner in
the charity gieet which is being sponsored by the Philadel
phia Inquirer
Werner has entered relay teams
in the one-mile and two-mile
“Both teams look very respect
able,” Werner said several days
ago. “In fict,” he added, “barring
any mishaps, such as injury or ill
ness, this mile .relay team could
well be the best Penn State has
ever had. The same can be said
for the two-mile entry.”
Mainstays on' the mile relay
squad are Art Pollard and Ollie
Sax, with Pollard running in the
leadoff slot and Sax in the anchor
position. Sax is the IC4A 600-yard
titlist. The other two runners in
the Liberty Bell One-Mile Relay
are Skip Slocum and Dave Lea
thern, with Bill Kilmer and Bob
Matz in reserve.
Don Austin and Roy Brunjes
are the standouts on the two-mile
quartet. Werner will pick the
other two performers from among
Bruce Austin, Red Hollen, Slo
cum, Matz, and Leathern. Hollen
was captain of the 1953 cross
country team and placed third in
the IC4A hill-and-dale run for the
roses.
Pollard, who recorded clockings
of 0:09.5 in the century and 0:21.0
in the 220-yard dash last year as
a freshman, will also compete in
the 50-yard dash. He will be fac
ing two of the country’s top
sprinters in Johnny Haines of
Penn and Lindy Remigino in this
event. Remigino pulled one of the
surprise victories'' of the 1952
Olympics and is one of the fin-

est sprinters in the nation.
Penn State’s othfer IC4A cham
pion, pole vaulter Dan Lorch, will
be up against competition from
“far and near.” The high-flying
senior will be competing against
two of the finest -pole vaulters
ever produced—the Reverend Bob
Richards and Don Laz-*—and two
Nittany freshmen, Harry Fuehrer
and George Hoffman.
Richards and Laz are two of
the three men who have cleared
the bar at 15 feet or better. Corn
elius Wammerdam, who holds 'the
record of 15’ 7%”, is the only other
person who has achieved the
15 foot mark. The two Lion year
lings, who finished one-two in
last year’s PIAA championship
meet, will compete unattached.
One other freshman, Rod Perry,
will see action in the City of
Brotherly Love. He will compete
unattached ii- the 50-yard high
hurdles along with Bill Youkers.
Perry set a new U.S. scholastic
mark of 0:18.8 in the 180-yard low
hurdles during the PIAA title
meet.
Hollen and Lamont Smith will
compete in the Lawson Robertson
memorial two-mile run. Some of
their strongest competition will
come from three Penn State grad
uates Bill and Horace Ashen
felter and Curt Stone.
The two Lion entries have both
been clocked in 9:20 for the two
mile run. They were two of the
stalwarts on last year’s undefeated
cross-country squad. Smith is a
junior and Hollen a senior.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14 <A>)
—Gorgeous 'Marilyn Monroe and

in what was supposed to have
been a quiet ceremony, but was
not.
Municipal Judge Charles S.
Peery, read the civil ceremony in
his chambers while an estimated
crowd of 500 jammed the., corri
dors of City Hall.
The curvaceous actress and the
former Yankee baseball slugger
didn’t even let the judge know
their plans until early this after
noon. They wanted a quiet wed
ding with no fanfare. '
Yet, by the time they were mar
ried the crowd was so thick Di-
Maggio, his best-man, restaurant
manager Reno Barsocchini -and
Lefty O’Doul, had to elbow a
pathway for Marilyn to the ele
vator. ■
Joe and Marilyn left on a brief
honeymoon for an unannounced
destination. “Just driving,” Joe
said.
On the marriage license, Mari
lyn’s age was given as 25, Joe’s
39.
