Brown Sweeps Sprints
In Washington Star Meet
Penn State track star Bob Brown began to erase the
bitter memory of his failure to make the U.S. Olympic team
with a sparkling triple victory at the Washington Star Games
Saturday.
And tonight he’ll have another chance
glory when he competes in the
Millrose Games at Madison
Square Garden.
Brown, one of America’s top
sprinters, was given an excellent
chance by most observers to make
the three-man Olympic sprint
team until he milled a leg muscle
in the national A.A.U. meet.
Under the tutelage of Coach
Chick Werner, Brown worked
hard all year for the Olympic
tryouts in August. Always fast
once he gained momentum, the
Lion sprinter developed an ex
plosive start and recorded suc
cess after success during the in
door season.
He continued his winning ways
during the outdoor dual meets,
and capped a tremendous year by
winning both the 100 and 200-
yard dashes in the IC4A's.
The teg injury shattered his
dreams of Rome, but apparently
the muscular sprinter is looking
forward to the future.
Brown swept the 70, 80, and 100-
yard dashes at Washington against
a crack sprint field.
His time in the 100 was 9.6,
only a tenth of a second off the
board record set by Dave Sime.
In the same meet Penn State -j
grad student Ed Moran won the
eight-lap mile run in 4:11.5, far
out in front of Houston's Pat
Clohessy.
Quantico’s Pete Close, who
edged Moran for an Olympic
berth this summer, started well
but tumbled off the track after a
brush with Clohessy at the end of
the fifth lap.

who has hopes of becoming the
first person to run a sub-four

minute mile indoors, set a record
in this meet last year when he
posted a 4:08.3, the fastest time
ever recorded for eight furlongs
on a flat board track.
Moran's best indoor time so
far is a 4:04 at Boston last year.
He will probably run the half
mile in the Millrose Games to
night.
In addition to Brown and Mor
an, high-jumper Dick Campbell,
who holds the Penn State record
at 6-6, and a two-mile relay team
composed of Steve Moorhead, Don
Davies, Mike Miller and Herm
Weber or Howie Deardorff will
also compete tonight.—Jim Karl

Wettstone
Says Soviet
Meet Best
Penn State gym coach Gene
Wettstone, the “Good Will
Ambassador of Gymnastics,”
says that last month’s Soviet-
U.S. meet in Rec Hall was
“the best gymnastics meet of
any we’ve ever had here.”
The Soviets scored a 285.85-
281.45 victory over six of Uncle
Sam’s finest in the Jan. 14 meet.
The meet marked the fourth
appearance of a foreign learn al
Penn Stale. The national teams
of Finland (1959), Sweden
(1954), and Switzerland (1956)
were other visitors to the Nit
tany Valley.
Despite the Soviet win, Amer
ican coach Tom Maloney said that
the Russian team wasn’t up to its
usual form. “I never saw them
have so many breaks,” he said.
Team strength was the key to
the Soviet victory. All six of the
Russians scored well in each
event while their American coun
terparts were inconsistent.
Members of the Soviet team
praised the conditions for the
meet, although Olympic still
rings champion Albert Azaryan
said that they were used to
competing in larger arenas.
For playing host to the Rus
sians, the University received a
letter from the State Department
In recognition of “Penn State’s
part in furthering U.S.-Soviet re
lations.”
