Spartans Will Host Top Indoor Meet
Michigan State's power-lad
en track squad will host Mis
souri, Ohio State, and Penn
State' Saturday in what is be
ing billed as the outstanding
intercollegiate indoor meet of
the season.
Karl Schlademan's Spartan's
have depth, balance, and plen
ty of talent despite the loss of
10 lettermen from last year's
squad. Only five of the 36
trackmen on the Michigan State
team are seniors. ' Twelve of the
returnees are lettermen.
Ed Brabham paces a group of
five sprinters. Laid season the
Spartan speedster finished fourth
in the NCAA 220-yard finals with
a 21.3 sec. clocking. The 20-year
old junior from Brooklyn, N.Y.,
has run the 220 in 21.2 sec. and
the 100-yard dash in 9.9 sec.
Travis Buggs Julius McCoy.
Tom Flynn, and Walt Burger
round out the quintet of sprint
ers. Suggs is a letterman who
has been hampered by football
injuries. He was Indiana sprint
tftlist while in high school and
last year placed in the Big Ten
60-yard run indoors. McCoy,
former all-State basketball star
from Farrell, i;• currently play
ing with ths MSC capers. Last
season he equaled Brabham's
21.2 sec. showing in the 220.
Flynn and Burger are both
sophomores with good poten
tial.
In the hurdles Schlademan will
n.atch junior Joe Savoldi, a run
ner who has been tabbed as a
possibility for the Olympic team
in the 'decathlon, against Penn
State's fine group .of timber-top
pers. Savoldi is a standout in the
hurdles, high jump; broad jump,
and the weights. In a dual meet
with Notre Dame outdoors last
yeat Savoldi competed in five
events. Savoldi, a 6-3, 210 pound
er, will provide stiff competition
for Lion hurdlers Rod Perry, Gary
Seybert, Bill Youkers, or any oth
er "kangeroos" coach Chick Wer
ner selects for the meet.
John Coleman, Howard Neely,
and Herb Harding form a trio of
promising sophomore hurdlers for
the Spartans.
One of the world's best quar
ter milers is Spartan captain
Kevan Gasper, a 6-2 senior from
' Australia. Gosper is the British
Gymnasts Seek 2nd Win
Against Navy Saturday
Gene Wettstone's Nittany gymnasts go against the Middies of
the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis Saturday in search of win
number two for the '55 campaign.
Fresh from a 66-62 upset at the hands of Illinois Saturday which
did away with the Lion winning skien that had extended since 1952,
Wettstone's performers will visit the Midshipmen holding an even
1-1 slate.
The Middies own an unblem
ished record so far this season,
with an impressive 72-24 shel
lacking of Pitt highlighting their
list of wins.
Lions Own 9-8 Edge
In 17 years of competition with
the Middies, Lion gymnasts own
a slim 9-8 edge in meet victories.
They made Coach Chet Phillips'
gymnasts their third victim last
year by a 65-31 count.
Captain Bob O'Malia is absent
from last year's Navy squad, but
Burt Munger has returned as its
standout performer, along with
Bill Kronzer and Charlie Chaver
ria.
Against the Panthers, Munger
took first in tumbling with a fine
264 out of a possible 300 points.
Top Lion Gymnast
Captain Karl Schwenzfeier has
so far been pacing the Nittany
gymnasts. In two outings he owns
double wins in calisthenics, the
horizontal bar, and flying rings.
Ho we v e r, calisthenics along
with the trampoline, will not be
events in any of the Lions' re
maining five dual meets , since
they are not standard Eastern
events. They appeared in the Nit
tanies' two inter-league contests
with West Virginia and Illinois.
Following the Annapolis visit,
the Lions go against Army at Rec
Hall, Pitt at Pittsburgh, Temple
at Rec Hall, and round out the
season's dual meets against Syra

sec. Gosper also ran a 47.8 sec.
quarter in the Central Colle
giate' meet and a 48.9 sec. 440
to cop the Canadian National
Exchange 'event in 1954. Bob
Brown and his brother Richard
have shown ability in the 440,
with the former also a possible
starter in the hurdles. Ron Suess
is counted on to aid the Spar
tans in the 220 and 440. Two
sophomores who have been de
monstrating terrific speed in
the middle distance runs are
Frank Taylor and Pat Sutton.
Although the injury jinx has
hit Dave Hoke, the 6-1 junior
from Oklahoma is rated as
Schlademan's No. 1 half miler.
Hoke overcame his aches and
pains during the cross-country

campaign and had a fine season .
Richard Stutaman is the only
returning letter winner in the
half mile, but Ted Tetzlaff, a ver
satile soph from Alberta, Canada,
who can run well in anything
from the '440 to the mile, will be
on hand for varsity action this
year. Bob Baird is another sec
ond year runner who has dis
played promise.
Terry Block is ranked as the
Spartans most promising soph
omore in the mile. Five other
sophs fondle Davis, Gaylord
Denslow, Robert Skane, Tom
Goretska, and Bob Luce—have
all been tabbed as rising stars.
Denslow is a crack cross-coun
try runner and The team's best
Iwo-miler. Goretska, a five
year army veteran who was a
two-time State Class A mile
titlist, is now attempting a
comeback. Schlademan , will al
so be counting heavily on sen
ior John Proctor in the two
mile run.
Michigan State is "loaded" in
the high jump. Jim Vrooman is
a consistent 6' 3"jumper who
copped the Big Ten indoor crown
two years ago. Doug Stuart, who,
like Gosper, hails from New South
Wales, Australia, and Don Hill
mer, the most promising Spartan
high jumper in recent years,
round out a trio of jumpers that
will be hard to beat. Stuart was
a member of the British Empire
Team last summer and last win
ter captured the Michigan AAU
laurels with a 6' 6%" leap. Hill
mer finished second in the Drake
Relays a year ago.
Charles Coykendall, a senior.
and sophomores George Best
and Steve Lemmers give the
Spartans the best pole vaulting
threesome it has had in years.
Coykendall is being counted on
for a 14' showing this campaign.
Schlademan will rely on Alex
Wafer, Savoldi. Brabham, and
possibly Gosper in the broad
ump.
In the weights it will be Dave
Goapiell,'Richard Muessig, and Ed
McKillop. Goodell is expected to
hit 50' in the shot this year.
Michigan State's track team,
good as it may be, will be acting
as host to three other cracker
jack squads in one of the hottest
indoor battles in many a season.
