Missouri Finds
To Quarterback
The big news from Columbia, Mo., last weekend wasn't
the score of the Missouri-SMU game (20-0), it was the emerg
ence of Ron Taylor as Missouri's number one quarterback.
The Tigers, Penn State's next opponent Oct. 1, were ex
peeted to heat Southern Methodist, but finding an answer
to the qUarterback pr'oblem made
Dan Devine's weekend all the figure, but he connected when the
merrier. Tigers seemed to need it most.
Just two weeks ago, the young Devine has high hopes that the
Alissouri coach described his Ben-;176 -pound junior can show as
gals as "a team that will go as much poise this weekend when
far as its young quarterbacks will Missouri takes on Oklahoma State
take it." llis reasoning was sim- at Columbia in a Big Eight Con
nie .ference test.
Okfahoma State held powerful
Arkansas to one touchdown last
weekend but the Razorbacks
won, 9-0.

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.
Ex-Lion captain Ed Moran
(1958) apparently had a berth
sewed up going into the last 100
yards of the finals in the Olym

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

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.
In Moran's race, eight of the,
14 runners had bettered the;

,the scenes behind the scenes,*
where the tears were numerous
and the triumphs few.
"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.

"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.
