AIR CONDITIONED IL S. HIRSIRT CO., Inc. 103 laisolorro Slut, Now York 13, N. Y. en Home Slate Lack of Depth Plagues Frosh Track Squad Lack of depth in most events is the biggest problem which faces freshman track coach Norm Gordon as he puts his Penn State charges through their final tr'al runs in preparation for Sat.r. day's on-coming clash with the Plebes of the United States Naval Academy. Because of the lack of depth, Gordon could not state any definite lineup. Gordon named Gus Ormrod, Ogler Norris, and John Tullar as the men he expects to carry one bulk of the load in the Frosh's attempt to dunk the Navy Plebes. Ormrod, an ex-GI, is the squads' leading distance runner and is considered to be a strong threat to break several freshman rec ords during the campaign. Norris will do most of the team's pole vaulting along with competing in the broad jump, high jump, and hurdles. Coach Gordon main tains that Norris is capable of smashing th e 12-foot 10-inch freshman pole vault mark. Tullar, just returning from spring grid practice, will throw the shotput, javelin, the discus, and may possibly enter the quar ter-mile event in Saturday's meet. "These are the men who have showed the most promise in Oast time trials," Gordon said. Saturday's test is one of /the strongest on the frosh card for 1055. According to Gordon, "Navy is a well-balanced squad with a great deal of depth in most events." The Plebes, who finished first in a triangular meet w:th the Lions and Pennsylvania last year, walloped the Penn Frosh in their opener last Saturday. The squad is very strong 14 the distance events—weights, p Jle vault, and high jump. Hurdling is the team's weakest point be cause of the lack of experienced hurdlers. The thinclads will leave Friday. for the 15-event meet at Annapolis. Coach Gordon expe-ts Wednesday's time trials to de termine those who will compete in Saturday's meet.
