~~~~il'~j'~~ ' ~ 1 , ~.~~~~.~ '55 Track Recor Thinclad's IC4-A Penn State's trackmen leave for New York tomorrow in defense of their IC4-A title, and according to the Associated Press yesterday, track Coach Chick Werner will be taking a team to Randalls Island that has been tagged "the favorite" for the 79th annual running of New York's track and field carnival. • Werner announced last night a traveling squad that will include nearly 20 men for the trip to New York by train. Included of course are Werner's top Men for the mile relay again expected to be juggled , to give • the ,Lions their maximum power, Pollard, however, will not anchor the team with a fourth lap performance. Instead, Werner has "brain stormed" with a new idea of run ning Jack Morin, Dave Leathern, Bruce Austin. and Skip Slocum Art Pollard, junior trackman for Penn State during the put two years, who has tied the Lion record of 9.6 both last year and this year, was elected cap. Lain of the Nittany thinclads for the 1956 season. Pollard was selected by his teammates last night at the annual track banquet which honored more than 50 varsity and freshman trackman. Gus Ormrod, freshinen miler who broke the frosh 880 record and entered the University af ter a four-year hitch in the Navy, was selected honorary froth captain by his freshman teammates' for the put season. Coach Chick Werner ex plained *bat the lettermen, nu merical winners, and the win ner of the senior award could not. be announced because the IC4-A's had not yet been com pleted. with Austin presently tagged for the anchor slot. (Pollard was forced out of the mile relay be• cause of conflicting scheduling times with the 100 yard dash and the time get for the mile relay.) More than 500 athletes and 47 colleges , and. Universities are ex pected to gather for the New York outdoor carnival. In reviewing the Lions' 1955 season the card remains practi• call y unblemished—except for a slight spot inflicted by Michigan University which shoved the Lions into a respectable second place in a meet that was won by the Wolverines on several events decided by a hairlash. A look at the records gives an indication why the Lions were tabbed the weekend favorites by the coaches of expected entrants. As a team, Penn State swamped Navy and Penn in a triangular meet, 81 5 / 6 to second place Na vy's 55 1 / 6 and Penn with 25. In the Ohio Relays it walked 111 Pugh Stu State College off with three victories, plus three seconds and two fourths. The 120 high hurdles, mile relay, and 440- yard relay entries brought home the victories. With two of his top sprinters on the sidelines for the Penn Re lays, Werner saw his Captain Ro sey Grier take third in the discus, and Rod Perry second in the 120 high hurdles. Michigan clipped the Lions and Navy with 85 1 / 2 tallies to 87 1 / 4 and 2.4 1 / 4 for the second place Nit tany squad and third-place Navy. Boston University was swamped by the Lions, 104-28, with the Terriers bowing in 18 of 15 events The Wernermen then capped their 1955 season with a decisive 87-44 thumping of Pittsburgh's outdoor squad. 5 . And behind the array of scrap py performances as a team in tri angular% dual, arid relay meets and three new marks plus one record-tying time which were written into the books. The Lions have been toughest in the shot; discus, mile relay, 100-yard dash, and the hurdles during the past season—perhaps the bulk of the reasons why they are getting front-running guesses to repeat as IC4-A kings, Art Pollard tied his own record of 9.6 in the 100 against Michigan and Navy; . Bill Youkers first tied, and then , broke the :14.2 120-high hurdling mark with a :14.1 time at Pittsburgh. Grier set, two new .marks to break his own 1954 records in the shot and discus. In the shot. he registered 56-3 1 / 2 and in the discus a 164-8 heave- ` the latter against Michi gan and Navy.
