Werner Challenges
'Phantom' Sprinters
"I bet there's not one student in the University who can
break 10.2 in the hundred yard dash, including the anchor
man on the fraternity drinking team and the former high
school track flash," challenged Chick Werner, varsity track
mentor, in issuing a call for varsity and freshman indoor
track.
"For years I have been hearing
about the tremendous sprinters on
campus, from townspeople, alum
ni, and students, but these rum
ored sensations never show up at
Recreation Hall," Werner com
mented.
"After years of searching for
these elusive track wonders, I
am inclined to think that they
are hiding or more feasibly do
not exist," he added.
Werner is hard pressed to re
place Art Pollard, the Lions' All-
American sprinter and 1956 cap
tain.
"As things stand now, we will
be shut out frequently in the
sprints." Werner warned.
The Lion track squad has suf
fered heavy losses since last
spring. In addition to Pollard,
Bruce Austin, a fast sprinter and
varsity record holder in the 440,
and Charlie Blockson, a depend
ablel weightman, have been lost
through graduation.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1956
By GEORGE FRENCH
To add to Werner's troubles.
Rod Perry. Niffany track cap
tain and indoor world's record
holder in the 50-yard high hur
dles, has passed up running
over the boards to try his luck
playing under the boards on
John Egli's basketball squad.
Dick Winston, a strong hurdler,
will be counted on to try to fill
Perry's shoes over the timbers.
Werner is depending heavily on
his nationally seventh- ranked
cross-country squad to carry his
indoor team in the middle-dis
tance and distance events.
Captain Don Woodrow, Fred
Kerr, Ed Moran, Clem Schoene
beck, Jay Kirby, and Bob Thomp

and the relays.
