Moran, Norris Give Weather
Credit for New Track Marks
Lion cindermen Ed Moran
and Ogie Norris attributed
their record breaking per
formances against Navy Sat
urday at Beaver Field to the
excellent weather and the fast
track.
Moran chopped three tenths of
a second off of Schuyler Encic's
1:53.2 half mile record • set in
1924. Enck's mark tOas the oldest
untied record on the Penn State
books.

in the fight for first place honors.
Norris, Penn State's ace pole
vaulter, smashed Dan Lorch's
13-6 record - when he soared over
the 13-8 1 / 4 mark to tie for first
place laurels with Navy's John
Beaton.
Norris has been troubled by
having to stretch too much in
his approach. "That (stretching)
has been my trouble all along
but Norm (Gordon) made me
learn my steps and now I am
more relaxed on the approach,"
Norris said.

SCRATCH ONE RECORD as Lion distance ace Ed Moran breaks
the tape in the half-mile run at the 1:52.9 mark. Moran broke the
thirty four year old record held by Schuyler Enck. Timing Moran
is university president Eric Walker (extreme right).
"Last week was the best week
of vaulting I've ever had," Norris
said, "and I believe that last Sat
urday I finally became a com
petitor—l was able to think about
my vaulting when it was most
important."
Norris just missed the 14-1 3 h
mark. The vault was one Of his
best and he seemed to have
cleared the bar easily but he
nudged it off of the standards
with his chest.

higher marks. "With a faster
run, higher grip and a sharper
pull I ought to be able to gel
much higher," Norris said.
Norris will have plenty of top
notch competition as the season
progresses. He will meet Jimmy
Gibson, the Michigan University
ace, at Beaver field May 10th.
He will compete against John
Gray of Penn this weekend and
against Don Tork of "West sir

In NBA Draft
DETROIT (/P}—The National Basketball Assn. split up
the nation's top college talent among its eight members Tues
day and voted to drop the drafting of high school players.
It left the status of two previously earmarked in high
school unchanged: Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, now of
Kansas, to Philadelphia, and Jerry
Lucas of Middletown, Ohio, High
School to Cincinnati.
Philadelphia grabbed off All-
America Guy Rodgers of Tem
ple in making Tuesday's first
collegiate selection, exercising
its territorial rights to any col
legian within a 50-mile radius
of Philadelphia.
No other clubs exercised terri
torial rights.
Minneapolis, with teams pick
ing from bottom to top, started
off the draft's first round by
plucking Seattle's 6-foot, 6-inch
All-America Elgin Baylor.
Archie Dees, 6-8 of Indiana,
went to Cincinnati: North Caro
lina's Pete Brennan and San
Francisco's Mike Farmer to
New York; Connie Dierking of
Cincinnati to Syracuse: Dave
Gambeo of Oregon State to St,
Louis and 6-9 Ben Swain to
Texas Southern to Boston.
New York got two first round
picks because it had traded guard
Dick McGuire to Detroit last sea
son for Detroit's first round pick.
Lloyd Sharrar, a 6-10 West
Virginia Mountaineer star went
to Philadelphia, which also
grabbed off 6-10 Temple Tuck
er of Rice. Six-ten Hub Reed of
Oklahoma City went to St.
Louis.
Philadelphia claimed Chamber
lain several years ago while he
still was in high school. Now a
Kansas sensation, he is scheduled
to graduate next year and the
Warriors must exercise their
choice in the first round of the
1959 draft.
Lucas reportedly is headed for
the University of Cincinnati, and
the NBA ruled that if he picks
a college in another team's 'sO
mile territory this will void Cin
cinnati's claim.
REVOLUTIONARY
STRETCHABLE
PAPER!
A productotresearch know.how
Stretchable paper, known as Kraftsman CLUPAK* paper, is
on display at the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company
exhibit booth at the IndustrikExposition. Three years of re
search and $2,500,000 in expenditures brought this revolution
ary product to commercial realization only a feW months ago.
Paper samples, comparison tests, charts and graphs make
clear what this dramatic advance means to the increasingly
vital packaging industry. Now used primarily in the manu
facture-of grocery bags and multi-wall sacks (such as those
used to ship cement), this material opens many possibilities
for further ckvptopment. One of these is in the non-woven
fabrics field for making disposable sheets and hospital gowns.
Such developments - as Kraltsman CLUPAK paper - and contin

Wining Skien, 12-7
NEW YORK (Th—The New
York Yankees pounded three tri
ples and a home run in one inning
—the fourth—during which they
scored seven runs and went on
to defeat Boston 12-7 Tuesday. It
was their sixth straight victory
and completed a sweep of the
two-game series with the Red
Sox.
Dave Sisler, the only pitcher to
defeat the Yankees this year, was
the victim of a major portion of
the assault. The bespectacled
right-bander, -who beat the Yan
kees 3-1 last week, quit under
the fourth inning barrage, after
yielding triples to Bobby Richard

run to Gil McDougald

The wish of an evening chuck
full-of-fun is easy to fulfill.
And it starts with dinner at a

mouthwatering at Duffy's. Good
