To Easy Victory
By VINCE CAROCCI
Sparked by an exceptional team performance, the Penn State trackmen romped to a
703:1-52-38 1 / 4 victory over Pittsburgh and Ohio State Saturday on a heavy Beaver Field track.
Although the meet was highlighted by three record performances,--two by Lion track- 1
sters—it was the fine showing of the Nittany team 'as a whole which gave Penn State the
victory.
Weightman Charlie Blockson spearheaded the Nittany offense by winning two firsts
in the shot put and the discus.
Blockson copped the first in the
shot with a 51'10" throw and fol- I

heave of 168'2 1, Z" in the discus

Art Pollard and middle distance
runner Bruce Austin who came
through with the record perform
ances.
Pollard, after being surprisingly
upset in the 100-yard dash by
Pitt's Herb Carper, came back in
the 220 to set a new Penn State
mark in :20.4—0n1y three-tenths
of a second off the world record
set by Duke's Dave Sime 10 days
ago.

the Panther record books.
Austin Ties 440 Mark
Austin tied his new Penn State
record in the 440—set two weeks
ago against Quantico—by running
away from the field in :48.4. The
wind was under the 4.47 mile per
hour mark—the standard measure
used by most schools —in both
Lion record performances.
Pitt's sensational Arnie Sowell
failed in his bid to set a new
Panther mark in the mile, win
ning the event in 4:17.3. The Pitt
record is 4:14.6. In the 880, Sowell
saved himself for the mile relay.

Austin for three-quarters of the
way, anchored the Pitt relay team

anchor lap to insure the win.
Findley Wins High Jump
Sophomore Bob Findley turned
in his most impressive showing
of the outdoor season by winning

Rutgers Stickmen
Down Nittanies,l9-11
Rutgers' All-American quartet of Bob Kelley, Bob An
drews, Jack Daut, and Hank Goetz proved to the Penn State
lacrosse team that "two are better than one" Saturday after
noon at Beaver Field when they led the New Jersey school
to an 19-11 win over the Lions.
The menacing Rutgers foursome divided 16 points among
them while the Nittanies scoring
duo of Bill Hess and Bob Hamel
could manage to score only half
that total,
Actually only the first three of
the Scarlet's scoring quartet are
All-Americans. The fourth, Hank
Goetz. is only a sophomore. How
ever, he has been a sparkplug in
the Rutgers lineup throughout
the campaign and is a heavy
favorite for a slot on the 1956
All-American team.
Hess Scores Four
Hess' four goals boosted his
record-holding total to 37. With
one game remaining, the "Man
hasset Marauder" has a very good
chance of hitting the 40 mark.
Tom Seeman, Andy Bergeson,
and Lou Girard were the only
other Lion stickmen to tally
against Rutgers' All-American
L:lalie Don Gucker.
Chuck Richardson, Chuck Beck
with, and Ross Farquharson scor
ed the other Rutgers goals.
Rutgers opened up fast and for
the first eight minutes of the
game it looked like the New Jer
sey school was going to leave the
Nittany stickmen lying in the
dust.
Hamel Hits in Ist
The first-period score was 3-0
before Hamel chipped in the first
Lion goal at 8:14. Hess added two
more and Goetz scored one for
the visitors to give Rutgers a 4-3
edge at the end of the initial
stanza. .
Hamel tied the score at 1:51 of
the second frame and 12' seconds
later Bergeson put the Lions into
the lead for the . first time. Daut
deadlocked the score for Rutgers
at 4:38 but two minutes later
Hamel shot the Nittanies into the
lead once again. Rutgers scored
two more before the half ended
to maintain their slim margin,
7-6.
Lions Tie Score
Hamel tied the score again, 30
seconds after the halftime break,
'but Daut shot the Scarlet back
into the lead 42 seconds later.
An . drews gave the Scarlet a two
point lead at the 4:24 mark but
after Hess had brought the Lions
to within a "goal of the lead at
