SATURDAY. ffiBRUARY 26. 1*66 Trackmen Lions Among Favorites To Capture Indoor Title Penn State’s indoor track and field team will tangle with champions from all over the nation today at Madison Square Garden in what is being hailed as the greatest of the 34 an nual intercollegiate banked board title meets. Eleven IC4A and NAAU title winners head the list of more than 650 athletes who will represent 43 colleges and universities in. the scramble for the team championship. Boston University’s Terriers, Manhattan’s Jaspers, and the Nittany Lions have been tabbed as the three top choices to cop the crown. Last season Boston University finished half a point behind Yale in the fight for the team title. Man hattan has won the team laurels more often than any other squad seven times and Penn State is currently the IC4A out door track and field champion. Three big time titlists are en tered in the field events. Willie Lee of Penn will defend his IC4A broad jump crown. Bruce Hescock and Bernard Bruce, both of Bos ton University, will put their year old titles on the line in the pole vault and the broad jump re spectively. t Fuehrer in Pole Vault Lion coach Chick Werner has not entered anyone in the high jump. However, sophomore Harry Fuehrer will compete in the pole vault and Herb Hollowell and Ron Johnson will be put to the test in the broad jump. /Defending IC4A 60-yard sprint king Johnny Haines of Penn won his third straight NAAU award in the dash last Saturday. Coates ville speedster Art Pollard will renew his rivalry—which dates back to high schol days with Haines and could topple the Quaker. Pollard Is Outdoor King Pollard is the IC4A outdoor ruler in the 100. “The Coatesville Comet” equaled the meet mark of 9.6 sec. in Winning his title and also smashed the 220 record in the Semifinals before pulling up lame. Although Warren Lattof of Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology will be back to fight for his 60-yard hurdles throne, he is not regarded as the favorite. Man hattan’s Charlie Pratt and the Lions’ Rod Perry have taken over the spotlight. Perry beat Olym pian Harrison Dillard in the ,50- yard highs Jan. 21 at the Inquirer Games, equaling the world in door standard for this distance. Bill Youkers and Gary Seybert will round out Werner’s hurdling corps. Tom Courtney, last year’s IC4A 1000-yard king from Fordham, will compete in this event. He has conceded the victory to Pitt’s sen sational sophomore Arnie Sow ell. Courtney will run in the 600, as will NAAU 600-yard winner Charlie Jenkins of Villanova. Dave Leathern and Skip Slocum will carry the Blue and White colors to the line in this event. Sowell Has Three Titles Sowell already has three titles to his credit. Last spring he edged Courtney for both the IC4A and NAAU 880 championships. Sowell used his brilliant kick to cop the NAAU 100-yard honors Saturday. Werner is hoping to pick up some valuable points in the mile relay and shot put. Bruce Austin and Bob Matz will run on the mile relay quartet, with the other two to be chosen from among Pollard, Morin, Leathern, and Slocum. Penn State’s IC4A outdoor shot put champ—Rosey Grier will combine with Charlie “Blockbus ter” Blockson to give the Lions plenty of power in this event.
