(;F SiY Jaspers . Test Thinciads . Today Lions Close Dual-tvieet Campaign By DICK McDOWELL Chick Werner's high flying track and field team, seeking its first undefeated season since 1950, wraps up its dual meet campaign today against favored Manhattan College ;.t New York's Van Cortlandt Park. The Lions, with a 3-0 log, will be tackling what is considered to be, the east's top team this year. George Eastment's Jaspers cur rently own a 15-dual meet win streak. However, the Nittanies' power ful drive over three top-notch op ponents—Navy, Pitt, and Michi gan State—indicates the Lions could be death to the New York ers tomorrow. A rain front that moved across the east coast yesterday, how ever, could disrupt things today. Rainy weather is forecast for New York this afternoon and that will undoubtedly mean a slow track resulting in slow times. . Stronghold of Point. 'Getters Werner will be counting on a stronghold of five or six men for most of the Lion points. Sprint ers Art Pollard and 011ie Sax, field men, Rosey Grier, Chuck Blockson, and Dan Lorch, and distance veteran Red Hollen should be the Lions' leading point winners. Pollard, who has made his Mark as one of the nation's top sprinters, will be gunning for honors in the 100- and 220-yard dashes, and is a solid bet to win both. The Coatesville Comet tied the Penn State mark in the cen tury last week with a sizzling :9.6 clocking, and came within .1 sec ond of the 220 standard. His time there was a :20.8. East's Best Duo Grier and Blockson combine to give Werner what is probably the East's best one-two punch in the weights. Both are potential win ners in three events—shot put, discus, and javelin. Lorch, who reached his best height in the pole vault against Michigan State Saturday—a rec ord breaking 13' 6 1 / 4 " mark—has established himself as a real threat in that event. The Nittany captain, winner of the indoor IC4A crown in 1952, may bring hoine precious points. Sax Outstanding Sax's outstanding performances in the 440-yard run this spring have given the Lions a bit of a boost in the running events. The junior swifty was disappointing in his first two races (Ohio and Penn Relays) but found his form when the dual-meet schedule got underway and since then has shattered the quarter-mile record twice. Hollen has been in command of the grueling two-mile race in all three of the Penn. State dual Hamner Yells 'Gestapo', Gets ()logy PHILADELPIIIA, May 20 (!P) —Owner Bob Carpenter of the Philadelphia Phillies apologized today for public embarrassment caused second baseman Granny HE.miaer by a private detective the club hired to see whether players were observing the cur few rules.

The private eye was arrested Tuesday night a f ter Hamner reported to police he was being followed.

In the broad jump Wer ner will use Ron Johnson and Bob Pearlstein and Rus Snyder will enter the high jump. Don Austin and Roy Brunjes get the nod in 880-yard run and Ron Youkers will double up in both the 120- and 220-yard hurdles. The Lions return to New York next Friday and Saturday for the IC4A championships. The Lions, along with Manhattin, Yale, Pitt, and Navy, are considered top con tenders. Major League Baseball NEW YORK, May 20 (11 3 ) Brooklyn's snail-like start in de fense- of its National League crown has placed Dodger fresh man Manager Walter Alston more on the spot than ever. A batting and fielding slump that has engulfed all but a couple of Dodgers has pushed the Brooks out of first place. In the tight Na tional League race, they're a game out of first but they're also only one game in front of the sev enth place Chicago Cubs. But for the fact that no other club has been able to put together a size able winning streak, the Dodgers might be much lower than their current tied-for-second position. They've won only two more games than they've lost. If Alston was a bewildered and disillusioned man today, w h o could blame him? When he was named to succeed Charlie Dres sen as manager of the two-time pennant winning Dodgers he was told he was taking over one of the hardest hitting a n d smoothest dav,.. , .ic.,ped into one of the Na tional League's t o p infielders, said "I keep myself in shape and never, at any time, has it been necessary to have me followed by a private detective." Carpenter Responsible Carpenter said he accepted com plete responsibility for the hiring of the detectives to check on his players and that he intended to keep on making periodic checks. He explained that this had been club policy - since he bought the franchise in 1946. The 38-year-old baseball executive said he was sorry about the way the checkup was handled. "Hamner is entirely justified in his attitude," Carpenter said. "If I were in his place I would be even more outraged than he is: It was my mistake I hired the wrong man to do the job. I still have great confidence in Ham= n.er. He's one of our best players." Carpenter sza;cl the shadowing rot r.. •. 7.d b any play ers were suspected of breaking TNF DAILY. COLLEGIAN!

Take out three or four games and - we haven't had any power at all. That exceptional power I'd heard about just isn't around. "I don't know what it is. We've had the unusual two hours of bat- ting practice before every game and we've worked out on every off day but one. I don't know where the answer is."

'We'll forget the whole • thing," was the way he made peace with the front .office. "This stuff, of treating me and other ball players like 2-year-olds is going to wreck our club," said Hamner.
