Lion Hurdling Duo
'Bows Out' Saturday
The dtth - l-meet careers of one of the best one-two hurdling
combinations in Penn State track history will end on Beaver
Field Saturday afternoon when the Nittany thinclads fate
Manhattan in the final meet of the season.
Seniors Rod Perry and Dick Winston, who according to
the latest statistics are the two best hurdlers in the Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Co n ferencei
this year, will be wearing the
Nittany colors for one of their
last times in regular competition.
They still have the IC4-A's in
New York left and there is a
possibility that both will enter
the National Championships in
Texas in June,
The - Nittany hurdling duo
have been among the top point
makers in all five of the Lion
meets This year. Winston has
had to take a backseat to Perry
on the obstacle course but it is
nothing new to the native Phil
adelphian. He has lived in
Perry's shadow since his sopho
more season.
Perry is unbeaten in both' hur
dle events this season, although
tied for first in the 120-yard highs
in the Villanova-Navy meet by
Winston. His :14.0 performance in
the highs at the Quantico scrap
was good enough to . set the Penn
State record in that event.
Winston, on the other hand, has
developed skills along different
lines. Since the beginning of the
season he has become Coach
Chick Werner's number one man
in the 100-yard dash and broad
But Winston doesn't fret over
his teammate's victories in the
hurdles. "He's a real cham
pion." Winston says. - rye never
seen a guy who is so consistent.
He always goes all out; always
looking for a• victory, even in
practice.
"I might be able to beat him,"
Winston adds, "if I'd run a 'per
fect' race. But that's just a dream.
I usually take him in the sprints
but not in the hurdles."
Winston started his hurdling
career when a junior at John
Bartram High School in Phila
delphia. He ran the sprints and
did the broad jump his first two

years and when the need for a
hurdler appeared, Winston filled
the bill.
Perry began his hurdling ca
reer at Coatesville High School
one year before Winston. When
he was a senior he set,the PIAA
record in the 120• yard highs
with a :14.1 time. That , mark
.was broken last Saturday by
Lower Merlon's Georg. Hearn.
Perry and Winston first got to
gether on the Penn State varsity
in their sophomore year. They
have been instrumental in many
Lion victories since then.
