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

give • the ,Lions their maximum
power, Pollard, however, will not
anchor the team with a fourth

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.
