Spartan Runners
Paced by Sophs
“Experience is a jewel,” according to Shakespeare,
Michigan State cross-country. Coach Karl Schlademan may not have a jewel-studded
team this year, but he certainly has some shiny new sophomores. What the Spartans lack
in experience seems to be made up for by youth.
•Schlademan has lost five of his top stars from last' season four through graduation
and one. through ineligibility.
However, this is where the sophomores enter the picture. The Spartans have four
talented sophomores who have paced recent practice sessions with highly impressive times.
Leading ground gainer of the
West Virginia Mountaineers is
Bobby Moss, 194-pound half
back, who has rolled up 12$
yards in 1$ tries for 7.9 yards
per carry.

Route 322
Three sophomores —Sel w y n
Jones, Terry Block, and Gay Dens
low—toured the four-mile Michi
gan State course in under 22 min
utes. Jones covored the distance
in 21:12, with Block finishing just
two seconds behind. Dehslow’s
time was 21:19. •
Bob Skane, another sophomore,
was fourth in the time trial with
a clocking of 22:29. Rounding out
the finishers were Del Parker,
23:22; John Procter, 24:04; and
Dick Stutsman, 24:48.
Good Times
These times were posted in the
Spartans’ initial time trial a little
more than a week ago. Most of
the times are good enough to
place in the top five in many
cross-country meets.
Lyle Garbe, Dick Jarrett, Ron
Barr, and Dick Barley are the
four Spartans who graduated.
John Cook, this season’s captain,
is scholastically ineligible. The’se
five runners were the top harriers
for Michigan State last season.
Penn- State Coach Chick Wer
ner will also be counting heavily
on sophomores in Saturday’s meet.
Dick Mohler, Paul Roberts, and
Don .Woodrow are three of the
most promising sophomores on the
Nittany hill-and-dale outfit this
year.
Sophs Improve
Mohler finished 20th in the-op
ening meet against Navy and Vil
lanova and 12th in last week’s
meet at Cornell. Roberts came in
25th and 11th and Woodrow moved
up from 23rd to eighth.
Doug Moorhead, Jim Pastorius,
Ted Garett, John Chillrud, and
Gene McKelvey form a veteran
nucleus around which the Nit
tany squad has been built this
season. Moorhead finished first in
the triangular meet with Navy
and Villanova and second in the
Cornell encounter.
Saturday’s meet will be the first
home battle for the Lions this sea
son. \ .

Mayo Smith Named
New Philly Manager
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14 (£>)—
The Philadelphia Phillies dipped
into the minor leagues—and for
the fourth time to the New York
Yankee organization—today and
tapped lean, greying Mayo,Smith
to lead the National League ball
club in 1955.
The 39-year-old, mild-manner
ed Smith was introduced to a
gasping group of newspapermen,
radio and televisipn reporters at
a specially summoned news con
ference. When he walked into the
room with General Manager Roy
Harney, Smith was a complete
stranger to the' 50 waiting there.
R. Mack Has Not Sold
Stock in Athletics
■ PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14 <£=)—
Roy Mack, executive vice presi
dent of the Philadelphia Athletics,
said today he had not yet sold his
stock and still has hopes of keep
ing the American League fran
chise in this city.
Mack’s sin-prising state4n en t
added a new puff of smoke to
haze encompassing the team and
its future. It came as almost ev
eryone had settled back in the
belief the A’s were due to move
to Kansas City.-

CIGARETTES, BEER, AND TRACK RECORDS
Hats off to Christopher John Chataway, athlete extraordinary.
Other sports stars may abide by rigid training programs, but not
Chataway. He has been very aptly referred to as the “good-natured
beer drinker.” Chataway is also a cigarette smoker. Don’t get the
wrong impression—Chataway does train. However, his philosophy
is something like this —first comes the fun, then the run. Shades of
Babe Ruth!
Chataway is one of the finest distance runners_ in the world,
but his training program takes a back, seat to his social life. During
the winter he smokes about a pack of cigarettes a day. When in
training he cuts down to around half a pack daily. Chataway is
proud of the fact that he works for a living. Three guesses where
he works. To be exact, he is a junior executive for the Guiness
brewery in London.
All this and track records too!
On May 6, Chataway gained his
first bit of international fame for
his fine job of pacing Dr. Roger
Bannister to the world's first sub
four-minute mile. Two months
later at Turku, Finland, Chata
way paved the way for John
Landy’s record 3:58 mile.
In the British Empire and Com
monwealth Games in mid-August
at London, Chataway sped to a
new Empire Games record for
the three-mile run. He finished
with a spurt to hit .the tape at
13:35.2. Until he .turned on his
powerful kick, Chataway' had
been running at a “leisurely lag.”
But Chataway's finest per
formance came Wednesday at
London. With 40,000 Britons
cheering him on,-Chaiaway sped
to what was probably the most
sensational victory since Ban
nister edged Landy in the Mile
of the Century. His torturous
win over Russia's Vladimir Kuc
resulted in a new world's mark
for the 5000-meier race.
Chataway, fighting the fire in
his lungs, came from behind in
the stretch to nip Kuc. After run
ning second in four record-break
ing races this year, Chataway
finally did his own bit of record
busting.
A training schedule such as
that used by Chataway cer
tainly is not endorsed by coach
es. Imagine what he would do
if he followed the prescribed
methods of training. Bui as long

as Chataway keeps running
ihaiaway . Britons aren't likely
to complain.
West Virginia will come to town
with a “loaded” team this week
end.
An Associated Press news re
lease last night said that profes
sor J. S. V. Allen, head of the
physics department at Bethany
College, W. Va., pointed out that
radioactive dust from a Russian
hydrogen bomb has been sifting
down on the West Virginia hills.
Allen's reading was taken
near Wheeling, home of West
Virginia University.
But Nittany fans will have no
excuse if the Mountaineers up-t
set the Lions, for Allen said
that the much talked about
dust is also landing in Penn
sylvania.
If things keep up at this rate
something will have to be done.
Horses are now subjected to saliva
tests. Maybe football players will
have to undergo geiger counter
examinations someday.
