Nittany Thinclads to Encounter Pitt,
Navy in Triangular Meet Saturday
By JIM KARL
Penn State's indoor track
team is likely to be in for a
battle Saturday when the Nit
tany thinclads meet Navy and
Pitt in a triangular affair at
Annapolis.
Last year the Middies defeated
a highly regarded State team
61 1 / 2 -38 1 / 2 in a dual meet, and this
year they are expected to be even
better.
In fact, Navy may well have
one of its best indoor track sea
sons in 1960, "but this doesn't
mean we can't lose two or three
meets." says Tommy Thomson,
the veteran Navy mentor.
The Middies biggest asset lies
in their over-all balance. "All
three jumps (high, broad and pole
vault) are in good hands if we
don't have the injuries which hit
us last spring," Thomson said.
"Most of the runs should be
pretty solid with George Van
Houten, Rod Watterson, Paul
Mankowich and John Prichard,"
he added.
The Middies have indoor hep
tagonal broad jump champion
in Pritchard and Lew Milder

Army Boasts
Is Tough At
"They're extremely tough at home," said Penn State
Coach Gene Wettstone. "I don't know of any team that does
well up there. They'll have a capacity crowd made up mostly
of Cadets, and it's always real hot and stuffy in there. Almost
anything can happen and usually does."
Wettstone was referring to the
upcoming gymnastic meet at Ar
my Saturday, and something did
happen two years ago in the
Nittanies' last venture to the
banks of the Hudson.
With Army leading by a mere
three points in the next-to-last
event on the program—the paral
lel bars—co-captains Lee Cun
ningham and Jay Werner, then
sophomores, displayed their worst
routines of the season..
When the pressure was on,
they broke to give the Cadets
an advantage they retained to
win 50 1 / 2 -45 1 / 2 .
The Lion leaders would like
-nothing better than to beat the
Cadets at Army, but they're not
the only ones seeking revenge.
Last year Army's defending
Eastern champions came to Rec
Hall riding the crest of a,16 dual
meet winning skein.
The Lions, who had won nine
straight since the loss at Army,
upended the Cadets, 53 1 / 4 -42 1 / 2 ,
before a roaring capacity crowd
of 6200 to grab the Eastern
championship.
Saturday, the West Pointers will
be out to give the visiting Lions,
who have extended their win
- streak to 14, a dose of their own
medicine.
The Eastern championship will
again be hanging in the balance.

ern championship in 1958, boasts

ace John Aaronsohn, but its main
strength lies in its depth.
Unlike the Lions, Coach Tom
Maloney calls on specialists in
each event and doesn't use the
same man more than once in
a meet.
This gives the gymnast a chance
to devote his full training time
to one event and increase his
chances of improvement.
The Cadets boast two sub 4-
second rope climbers. In the re
maining five events, 12 of the 15
performers have scored 225 or
better this season—an indication
of the Cadets depth.
"It could very likely come down
to the last event (the flying
I rings)," said Wettstone.
If it does, Aaronsohn, defend
ing Eastern champ, and Werner,
the national title-holder, would
clash in what should be the fea
ture event of the afternoon.

Although Pitt potentially does
not compare with Navy, they do
have two outstanding individual
stars in sprinter Mel Barnwell and
miler Ron Rush.
However, Barnwell has appar
ently not reached top form yet
this year as he finished a disap
pointing third in the 600 and sec
ond in the 60-yard dash against
Army earlier this season. Pitt
lost the meet„ 73 1 / 2 -35 1 / 4 .

Don Davies recently ran a
1:12.7 on the boards at Rec Hall,
the best time he has ever re
corded. His best previous time
was a 1:13.7 against Navy last
year.
At the same time, Dick Ham
bright ran his best time for the
600 at Roe Hall with a 1:12 1.
Sprinter Bobby Brown also ap
pears to be in top shape after
competing in three invitationals
this year. In the Washington Star
Meet Brown nabbed two firsts
and a second in the sprint series,
in the Millrose Games he captured
a third in the sprint and in the
Boston A.A. Meet he won the 50-
yard dash with a 5.3 clocking.
The mile and 2-mile relay teams
captured third place honors at
both the Star and Millrose Games
and Saturday Dick Engelbrink
ran a 4:12 mile to take third place
in the Boston A.A. Meet.
D'Amato Found
Guilty By Court
NEW YORK (?P) Cus D'Ama
to, manager of former heavy
weight champion Floyd Patter
son, yesterday was found guilty
of disregarding a subpoena for
questioning by the New York
state attorney general last Nov.
18.
D'Amato faces up to one year
in jail and a $l,OOO fine. His bail
was continued pending investiga
tion and sentencing was set for
April 8.
The three Special Sessions jus
tices sitting in the case took 20
minutes to reach a decision.
The misdemeanor complaint
charged D'Amato with failing to
appear Nov. 18 before Atty. Gen
Louis J. Lefkowitz, who was in
vestigating the promotion of the
heavyweight title bout last June
between Patterson and Ingemar
Johansson.
D'Amato testified he did , not
recall receiving the subpoena.
Julius November, D'Amato's at
torney, said he would appeal to
the Appellate Division of the Su
preme Court.
Detroit Star Joins Toronto
DETROIT (A') Leonard Kel
ly, a star defenseman for the De
troit Red Wings for 13 seasons,
last night became a member of
the Toronto Maple Leafs in one
of the most snarled-up trades in
National Hockey League history.
Marc Reaume, a little used Ma
pie Leaf defenseman, left Toronto
to join Detroit.
It was an even-up swap. The
trade was announced Tuesday
night but it got snarled at Palm
Beach, Fla., in rules and regu
lations of the NHL's board of gov
ernors.
APPAREL OFT PROCLAIMS THE MAN
The hounds of spring are on winter's traces. Soon we will ho
shedding our mukluks and union suits and putting on our
spring finery. And what does Dame Fashion decree for the com
ing season?
(Dame Fashion, incidentally, is not, as many people believe,
a fictitious character. She was a real Englishwoman who lived
in Elizabethan times and, indeed, England is greatly in her debt.
During the invasion of the Spanish Armada, Dame Fashion—
not yet a Dame but a mere, unlettered country lass named
Becky Sharp—during the invasion, I say, of the Spanish
Armada, this dauntless girl stood on the white cliffs of Dover
and turned the tide of battle by rallying the sagging morale of
the British fleet with this stirring poem of her own composition:
Don't be gutless,
Men of Britain.
Suing your cutlass,
We ain't tynittin'.
Smash the Spanish,
Sink their boats,
Make 'em vanish,
LiAe a horse makes oats
For Good Queen Bess,
Good sirs, you gotta
Make a mess
Of that Armada.
You won't fail!
Knock 'em flail
Then we'll drink ale
And stuff like that.
As a reward for these inspirational verses Queen Elizabeth
dubbed her a Dame, made her poet laureate, and gave her the
Western Hemisphere except Duluth. But this was not the ex
tent of Dame Fashion's services to queen and country. In 1589
she invented the egg. In 1590, alas, she was arrested for poach
ing and imprisoned for thirty years in a butt of malmsey. This
later became known as Guy Fawkes Day).
But I digress. Let us get back to spring fashions.
Certain to be popular again this year is the cardigan (which,
curiously enough. was named after Lord Cardigan, who com
manded the Er.r,lish fleet against the Spanish Armada. The
sweater is only one product of this fertile Briton's imagination.
He also invented the ball-peen hammer, the gerund, and the
molar, without which chewing, as we know it today, would not
be possible).
But I digress. The cardigan, I say, will be back, which is
cause for rejoicing. Why? Because the cardigan has nice big
pockets in which to carry your Marlboro Cigarettes—and that,
good buddies, is ample reason for celebration. Do you think
flavor went out when filters came in? If so, you've got another
smoke coming. I mean Marlboros—all the rich, smooth flavor
of prime tobaccos plus a filter that really filters. So slip into
your cardigan and hie yourself to your tobacconist for some
good Marlboros. They come in soft pack or flip-top box. Cardi
gans come in pink for girls and blue for boys. ® 1960 Ni..Bhulmul
If you're a filter smoker, try Marlboros. If you're a non
filter smoker, try Philip Morris. If you're a television watcher
try Max Shulman's "The Many Loves of Dobie GUM"—
Tuesday nights, CBS.
Kelly, already in Toronto, was
ordered by the board to report
back to Detroit immediately or go
on the league's retired list—from
which he could never emerge if
even one NHL club objected.
Kelly reported back by simply
picking up a telephone and call
ing Detroit General Manager Jack
Adams. NHL President Clarence
Campbell said that was sufficient.
Campbell said he understood
Kelly "will go where they, De
troit, send him." That was Toron
to, Kelly's choice.
