ThijIMAY, MAY 29: i? 54
Lions,
IC4A
By DICK McDOWELL
Two top contenders for IC4A honors next Saturday tangle in a dual-meet "preliminary"
show tomorrow when Chick Werner's Lions battle Manhattan at 'Van Cortlandt Park in
New York.
New York sportswriters have picked the Jaspers, unbeaten in 15 straight dual-meets,
as favorites in the championships and rate the Lions third behind powerful Yale. On that
basis Manhattan rates an edge tomorrow when the Lions go after their fourth win in their
final_ dual meet.
Werner said yesterday he regards the meet as' the Nittanies' toughest
"Manhattan will be the strong
est of our four opponents," Wer
ner said. "This should be our
toughest meet."
The Jaspers, under coach
George Eastment, won the IC4A's
last year. Three individual tit
lists form a razor-sharp spear
head in their powerful lineup—
Lou Jones, Chuck Pratt, and Joe
Gaffney.
Jones Won 880
Jones won the 880-yard ruli last•
year- and also placed first in the
Lions' dual-meet at Beaver Field.
Pratt, a proven swifty, captured
both the hurdling events in the
Intercollegiates and also garnered
two blue ribbons against the
Lions. Rubber legged Gaffney
bested indoor champion Jim Herb
in the Intercollegiates last year
after he had' tur n e d the trick
against Herb in the dual meet.
Eastment will also be counting
heavily on his undefeated dis
tance man John Sbarra who won
the two-mile run in the Penn Re
lays, beating Penn State's Red.
Hollen.
Five Lead Attack
Hollen, Rosey Grier, Chuck
Blockson, Art Pollard, and 011ie
Sax will provide the bulk of the
Lion attack. Grier and Blockson
haVe divided honors in every
weight event in, the Lions' three
dual meets and will be strong .en
tries. Hollen is undefeated in the
two-mile. Pollard—a sensational
-sprinter this spring—hasn't lost a
r ace in the 100- and 220-yard
dashes. Sax, is in top form and
owns two victories in the 440.
However, a big factor in tomor
row's results might be the sudden
surge of captain Dan Lorch in the
pole vault. Lorch is undefeated
but until last week, was unable
.to clear the bar above the 13'
mark: He exploded' against Michi
gan State for a record height of
13' 6 1 / 2 ". If he can reach that mark
again he'll be a valuable man to
have around tomorrow. '
Also of prime importance will
be Werner's red hot mile relay
team which set the new Penn
State mark last week with a rip
ping '3:16 against the Spartans.
Pollard, Sax, Skip Slocum, and
Dave Leathem, make up the line
up.
Freshmen Top Bisons, 7-3
Ed Drapcho continued his sen
sational pitching yesterday for the
Lion freshmen as he beat the
Bucknell frosh, 7-3. Beside record
ing 11 strikeouts, he was able to
limit Bucknell to eight hits and
held them without a run until the
eighth inning
The game was scoreless until
the fifth when State opened the

Golfers Fight USGA Rule
NEW YORK, May 19 (iP)—
America's oldtime golf champions
rallied behind Chick Evans today
in bitterly criticizing the U.S.
Golf Association for slamming the
door on them in future open
tournaments.
SpOkesmen for the USGA quick
ly responded that the action was
motivated by a desire to give
more young players a chance and
to make the open chanipionship
"a truly representative one."
The controversy centered
around a new rule, effective next
"THE GUY'LL LOSE
HISS. SHIRT!"
". 1 walks into this haberdasher just off campus,
see, and ask for a white shirt. He starts givin' me this
song-and-dance about that Van Heusen Century with
the soft collar that supposed to not wrinkle ever. The jerk
starts snowin' me with some 14-day free trial deal, that if
I'm not satisfied after wearing it and washing it for
14 days, he'll gimme my dough back.
"I'm from Brooklyn, see, and I don't trust nobody. I ask the
guy, 'What's the' catch, buddy?' He says, 'No catch. Wear
it as much and as hard as you want. If the collar ever
wrinkles or wilts, you get your-money back. Wash it
yourself. It's easy. You just iron the collar fiat, flip it, and
it folds perfectly because the fold-line's woven in-
If_not, your money back.'
"The guy tells me it's the only soft one-piece collar
in the world, that it lasts up to twice as long as other
shirts and only costs $3.95 for whites and $4.95 in colors
and superfine whites. I tell him he's nuts to make such a
stupid offer. I tell him he'll lose his shirt. It's a kind of joke,
see. I figure no shirt will live up to all that rnalarky.
"And y'know what? I been wearin' and washin' it now for
a hunerd and fourteen days, ; and I still can't find nothin'
wrong with it
The winner will be presented
with the trophy Monday at 7:45
p.m. on the "Sportlight" show
over WDFM. The trophy . will be
on display at Graham's over the
weekend..

The 53-year-old Evans, who
won both the Open and Aniateur,
said in Chicago today this rule
will make "ghosts" of the grand
old men of the past an d will
wreck the tournament's tradition.
"That's the thanks we get for
our contributions to ...the game
down through the years," said
Gene Sarazen, former Open king.
