Slow Starts
Lions' Star
In Bobby Brown, Penn State track coach Chick Werner
has one of the top sprinters in the East and perhaps a good
Olympic prospect, but right now Brown’s having his troubles,
mainly starts.
Werner took the powerfully built dashman to most of the
big invitational meets around the
indoor circuit this year, and Brown
came up with some sparkling per
formances
In fact, he ran so
that Eastern track
him the favorite
championships two
over such starts as
door dash champ
and Villanova’s twi
chants, Paul Draytc
Budd.
Brown managed to win the
four qualifying rounds in the
indoor classic, but. was edged
in the final by Budd.
Then last week he was beaten
on consectutive nights by Eddie
Miles, a “just average” sprinter
from Indiana.
It was apparent to Werner and
his assistant, Norm Gordon, that
Brown was making a wrong move
in breaking from the starting
blocks.
“For the past two weeks I’ve]
been getting bad starts,” Brown’
admitted yesterday. “And very]
seldom has anyone got a bad start'
in fast competition and won—in'
fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen
it done.”
The Lion coaches have been
working overtime the past few
days to discover Brown’s mis
takes.
After the junior star had won
the Millrose Games, Werner
said that he thought Brown was
over the hump as far as style
goes. But recently, instead of
shooting from the starting

standing up after the first step

The coaches worked with him
yesterday in practice to correct
this flaw and after watching his
start a few times, they noticed
that he had such perfect balance
that lie was getting no “effect”
on his start.

Wincing as he recalled the Yan-
kees’ third place finish last year,
Stengel admitted he had made a
mistake.
"I should have known bet
ter," said the man who had won
nine pennants in his 11 years at
the Yankee helm.
The Yankees finished 14 games
behind the winning Chicago White
Sox, Casey said, because Mickey
Mantle had a bad year, Bill Skow
ron missed half a season with in
juries, tiie pitching bogged down,
the fielding was leaky, and the
batters didn’t drive in any runs.
He even blamed himself for tac
jtieal mistakes.
