It was also a tough loss for

The Lions' big rally came in

The Nittanies collected five hits
and combined them with a walk
to get their runs. Zeke DeLong

BLACKBOARD
Let them never again be called the "scrubs."
While coaches Chick Werner and Norm Gordon stared in dis
belief, the Penn State "B" mile relay team unofficially shattered
the school record by ripping off a 3:12 clocking to defeat the "A"
relay team in a challenge race in Tuesday's practice on Beaver Field.
This team had substituted for the Lions' "Big Five" Cali
fornia tourists and come within .4 of a second of the stadium record
at Pitt last week to salvage a victory for the Nittanies. Somewhat
miffed at being tabbed "Wooden Indians, scrubs, "B" team, etc.."
the three sprinters and Dick Hambrighi asked for a showdown
with the "regulars."
Planning to conduct a "light" workout anyway that night, the
coaches granted the request and the two quartets lined up, batons
poised. The regulars—Ed Moran, Chick King, Bill Schwab and Don
Davies. The "scrubs '—George Metzgar, Blaine O'Connor, Bob Brown
and Dick Hambright.
The gun sounded and Metzgar and Davies shot out of the hole
for the first lap. When Gordon clocked Metzgar in 48.1 after the
first quarter he was ready to return the watch to the jeweler with
a few choice comments about his workmanship. But then Werner
reported that he had caught the second place Davies in 48.2. The
Nittany mentors brushed the fog from their eyes, leaned back and
watched the times click off. O'Connor, 48.9; King, 49.2; Brown, 48.1;
Schwab, 48.2; Moran, 48.2; Hambright, 46.9. Six men under 48.2,
all eight under 49.2. Total times-3:12 for the "B" team, 3 . 13.8 for
the "A" team.
These are probably the two fastest mile relay times ever run
by eight different men on the same squad. And a few interesting
sidelights serve to increase the incredulity of it all. King. a half
miler. miler and 2-miler, ran 49.2 for the quarter—the first quarter
he ever ran in his life. And in clocking his 48.2. Moran was ham
pered by a to* injury. While in Los Angeles last week he took
time out to enjoy the sun and surf on Santa Monica beach, famed
playlend of the Hollywood starlets. And while his eyes wandered
in directions that his feet didn't he severly bruised his toe.
But the crux of this story is that the team that was already
conceded by track experts to have the best distance runners in the
East, suddenly discovers that it also has not one, but eight of the
swiftest quarter-milers in the country. Just as the winners glibly
quipped, "Who's the "B" team now?", it will be interesting to see
what lineup Werner comes up with against Manhattan Saturday in
'both the quarter-mile and the relay.
It all goes to indicate the versatility of one of the best track
