2 Men for Pitt
Battle Today
Lions Capture 13 Firsts
In Romp Over Boston U.
Jenn State’s outdoor track team, which look 13 out of 15
events from Boston University Saturday will have stiffer
opposition in store for it at 3:30 p.m. today when it visits Pitt.
The Lions, however, will be weakened for the engagement
with sophomores Rod Perry and Harry Fuehrer on the side
lines. j
Perry left immediately after his
race in the 120 high hurdles on
Saturday when he received word
6f the sudden death of his father.
Perry, and his younger brother
Bob. a freshman, who was called
from the stands when word was
received of his father, left by
University station wagon for then
home in Coatesville.
Perry will be out of action
both for the Pitt meet and his
scheduled trip to the Coliseum
Relays this weekend at Los An
gelas with his coach. Chick
Werner, and the Lions* other
odtry. sprinter Art Pollard.
Fuehrer will miss the pole vault
With a shoulder injury suffered
over the weekend.
Pitt’s thinclad squad will be
paced by flashy Amie Sowell, a
frail 20-year-old speedster, who
has recently bom the brunt of
Pitt’s. attack by stacking up re
peated wins in the quarter, half,
anp mile relay work and the broad
jump.
On Saturday, in a meet in Pitts
burgh against Army and Ohio
State, the Panthers wound up sec
ond, although the 135-pound
Sowell competed in three events
ahd then sizzled to an unofficial
:45.4 time in anchoring the mile
rfilay. Sowell won the 440 in :48.2,
the 680 in 1:55.5, and was second
in the broad jump with a 23-2%
leap. .
He is the MrCAA and IC4-A
etttdobr MO champ add owns
the AAU and IC4-A indoor half
mUe crowns. Sowell's tlmo of
2.08.2 in lh* 1000 motor raco in
the AAU's this year equaled the
World mark.
Pitt dropped Miami University,
earlier this year to snap a five
year-old 22-match win streak of
the Ohio School. 63-59. Against
Navy, Pitt rolled to a 72-59 win
With SoWell winning the 440 and

competing in three other events.

Soccer Prospects
Good for Next Fall
By ROG BEIDLER
The task of rebuilding a riatlon
al championship team is usually a
tremendous task—but this is not
the case for Penn State soccer
coach Ken Hosterman.
Although the Lion hooters will
lose the services of five lettermen
through graduation, the outlook is
still bright in that nine lettermen
from last year’s undefeated na
tional champion soccer squad will
be returning. Included in these
nine returnees is one all-Ameri
can.
Hosterman said that he was
also encouraged with the perform
ances of several freshman hoot
ers in spring practice which was
completed last week. The youth
ful Lion mentor said that he
couldn’t estimate the squad’s po
tential because the full strength
wasn’t always present at prac
tices. He said that the spring
drills were held mainly to enable
him to look at the freshmen and
that there were no intensive
scrimmages by the upperclass
men.

next s- asoii is i' "“-'t ’v fuw v

vacated by Paul Dierks and Galen
Robbins. Dierks received the
team's outstanding player award
and was given all-American hon
ors last year.
The other big loss will be the
absence of last year’s captain Jack
Pinezich. Pinezich, another all-
American, held down the outside
left spot and will be a hard man
to replace.
In looking over his crop for next
year, Hosterman said that he will
have two halfbacks, four forwards
and the goalie back in the fold.
Returning lettermen who will be

unbeaten season and national
championship are all-American

Golfers 4th
The Penn State golf squad saw its hopes of an undefeated season shattered to pieces over the
,'cekend by an overpowering display of Ivy League golfing might.
The defending champion Yale Bulldogs, who have won the tourney four out of six years, main
ained their supremacy by copping win number five.
The match, held on the Yale University course, turned out to be an Ivy League all-star game. The
first three finishers, in their order, were Yale, Harvard, and Princeton.
Jim Mayes and John Boyano\v
ski helped to ease the disappoint
ment by qualifying for the indi
vidual tourney, but neither was
able to advance past the second
round. Boyanowski was erased
in the opening round, and Mayes
was able to advance to the second
round before losing.
Mayes shot a 39, 38-77 first
round total, and a 36, 43-79 total
enroute to qualifying. His qualify
ing score of. 156 tied with Boyan
owski’s as tne Lion’s lowest.
Mayes Wins. 4-3
In his individual match Mayes
rubbed out Penn’s number one
man Fran Poore 4 and 3. Mayes
was one up on his opponent after
the first nine, and poured it on
down the backstretch to win. He
won the 10th hole, birdied the
Ilth, won the 12th and then lost
the 13th. But he came back to cop
the 15th to end the match.
In the second round, Mayes had
the misfortune of meeting up with
Jerry Fehr of Yale, probably the
best player in the tournament.
Fehr was the number three quali
fier in the individual race. This
was his worst qualifying round in
years. Two years ago he licked
Rod Eaken for the individual
crown, and last year was the run
nerup.
Although Fehr picked up two
birdies, on the first and 9th holes,
Mayes was able to lead at the turn
36-37. But. in the homestretch

Fehr exploded. He birdied the.
10th, 15th, and 16th holes in the
process of shooting a two under
par 68, the best round in the en
tire tournament. The final scorr
was 3 and 1.
Boyanowski lost to George
town’s Perky Cullinane, who was
licked by Mayes in a dual meet
with the Hoyas. Boyanowski shot
a fine round of golf, but Culli
nane was sharper, and picked up
a 2 and 1 win. This is the first
time this year that the sophpmore
ace was on the short end of a
match.
Gus Gerhart, who has just
missed qualifying for the last two
years, barely missed getting into
the finals Sunday. Gerhart shot
an 80, 77-157 to miss out by only
one stroke. He had his berth prac
tically assured, but double bogied
the last hole, and just missed..
Next in line for the Lions was
Warren Gittlen, who has failed to
get to the qualifying tourney for
four consecutive years. Gittlen
Was even after the first 13 holes,
and seemed on the way to a cer

to do no better than an 81 on the
