Tigers seemed to need it most.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Answer Problem Werner's Proteges Just Fail In Bids for Olympic Berths By JIM KARL Two men that Penn State track coach Chick Werner would have enjoyed watching at the 1960 Olympics never quite made it.

But a strategic mistake by Mo ran aA a clutch sprint by Pete Close of Quantico snatched the Rome trip away from the State grad student. A week earlier 'in the national A.A.U. meet, Bob Brown pulled up with a bad leg. Up to then he had been rated as one of the top contenders to gain an Olympic berth. The Lion captain won both preliminary heals in the 100 that day, topping such polished performers as Roscoe Cook, Willie White and Paul Drayton. He defeated Olympian Frank ‘Budd in one heat of the 220 and .was just nosed by Charlie Tid-I :well of Kansas in the other. Then in the final heat of the. 100 he stopped running after 15 .yards with a pulled leg muscle.' "I with:lrew him from the 200 because I figured he'd be ready .for the Olympic trials the next week," Werner said. But the leg didn't respond to treatment and Brown's dream, , ended abruptly.

He said that everybody no ticed the standout performances such as the 1600• meter relay, the sprints of Wilma Rudolph. and the swimming of Cris Von ; Saliza.

"I saw something that was very heart-breaking and it went al most completely unnoticed," the :Lion mentor said yesterday. "A girl from England, on her last try in the javelin trials got off a tremendous throw. BOBBY "The javelin definitely went past the flag marking the Olym pic record and it might have been a world record. She was well back of the foul line," he said. But in her exuberance over the throw, Werner said that she took one step backward -end then began running down the field to retrieve her javelin. As soon as she crossed the wooden board that extends across the front of the 17-ft. foul line the official threw down the red flag. Werner explained that she had committed a technical foul by not first stepping backward and de parting from the rear of the zone. Werner said the most spec tacular performance that he witnessed was the 1600 relay. "The time was unbelievable." he said. In that race the U.S. team set a new world record (3:02.2) but just managed to outdistance a tough German quartet. The Lion mentor said that the 1500-meter run and the 400-meter run produced results that may herald a new era in track. Otis Davis, a comparative un known, set a world record in the 400-meters and Herb Elliott lowered the world mark in the 1500-meters to 3:35.6, which is equal to a 3:53 mile.
