PAGE TEN Top Track Stars Will . Perform At Quantic R 1 - T By JIM KARL With track stars like Ed Collymore, Bo Roberson, Pete Close and Josh Culbreath scheduled to perform at * the Qua ntico Relays tomorrow and Saturday, it's no wonder Chick Werner refuses to predict how his Lions will finish. . State-will he competing against 42 other schools plus a crack Ma rine team at the Virginia base. Two factors, poor practice conditions due to unseasonable weather, and an injury to miler Gerry Norman may play an important role in determining State's finish in the two-day meet. Norman received a nine-inch spike wound during the two-mile run in an exhibition meet at Ft. Lee April 3 and will not compete. Another factor in State's show ing will be the star-studded field. From the pole vault to the hop step and jump the Relays are stocked with some of the top per formers in track. Aubrey Dooley, formerly of Oklahoma State, Mel Schwarz and Jim Johnston have cleared 15 feet in the pole vault. They are given a chance to erase the Belay record of 14.9 set by Bob Gutowski in 1959. Dooley entered the Marines re cently and will probably compete for Quantico. Collymore, Danny Miller from Maryland State and Penn State's Bob Brown are rated as good bets to better the meet record of 9.8 set by Ira Murchison in the 100. Collymore a former IC4A champ, sprinted to a 9.7 win in his first outdoor appearance this year while battling a cross wind. Miller has done 9.6. Pete Close, 1500-meter Olym pian, is the top threat in the But ler Invitational Mile. Penn State grad student Ed Moran set a new meet record in this event last year (4:04.6), but he won't be back to defend his title Saturday. Moran is in South Africa on a Cubs' New Coaching Program 'Working Well' Despite Loss CINCINNATI (/P)—The Chi cago Cubs lost their opening game of the 1961 National League season to the Cincin nati Reds Tuesday but Vedie Himsi says the operation of the Bruins' nine-coach board of stra tegy is working very well. For purposes of the record, the Cubs this year do not have a manager, as such. They have nine coaches; shuttling between the parent club and the farm teams. The job of being "head coach" will be alternated and Himsl Is "it" for the first two weeks of the season. "The arrangement is working out very well," said liimsl yester day. "We don't vote on any starting' lineup," he said. - "But we talk over the probable starters before! and after each game. Everyone feels fr6e to voice his own opinioni and, in my case, if another coach doesn't do it, I ask him for hisl opinion." Under 'the Cub plan, Himsl is the bols during the game, par ticularly as to changing pitch era and sending in. pinch hit- ' ters and pinch runners. - Himsl is among the lesser known lights of the Cubs' coach ing staff which includes such for mer major, league managers as I) 7 eo s Pizza & Sub Shop 15" Subs 21 Ingredients TRY THE ORIGINAL PHILADELPHIA STEAK SANDWICH tour sponsored by the State De partment. Culbreath and Bob Barksdale, both with, the Philadelphia Pio neer Club, will be back to defend records they set last year. Culbreath set the record for the 440-yard hurdles with a :51.3 clocking. He won a third place medal for the U.S. in the 1956 Olympics. Barksdale holds the high jump record (6-6) but he may get some stiff competition from State's Dick Campbell. The Lion ace has cleared 6-6 more than once. Roberson, also of the Pioneers, is a good bet to erase Mike Her man's broad jump record of 25-2 set in 1959. Olympian Ira Davis is the top threat in the hop, step and jump. Charlie Grimm and Harry Craft. Himsl never played a game in the major leagues. He declared there has been an excellent relationship among the coaches under the new arrange ment. "We all went into it with an open mind," he said. "We all knew what was going to happen when we took the jobs and it has worked out well all spring." FROTH THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

Net Coach Predicts I mproved Showing Penn State's tennis team lost seven matches in its defeat at Penn last week, yet Coach Sherm Fogg thinks the Lions should have won. The Quakers romped over State, 7 1 / 2 -1 1 / 2 , with Captain John Blanck recording State's lone victory. Fogg says carelessness and inexperience hurt the Lions in their opener. Jim Baker, the number one man on the Nittany squad, split his first two sets with Penn's Tom Elseroad but "outsmarted him self" in the deciding third set. After winning the second set handily, Baker changed his stra tegy and attempted baseline shots. The strategy backfired and it cost Baker the match. In another instance, inexperi ence hurt Penn State. Whit Gray, playing in his first var sity match, lost to John Kent, a Quaker letterman. Despite his loss, the junior from Newton, N.J., impressed Fogg with his performance. "With a few more varsity matches under his belt, Gray would be able to beat Kent," he said. Blanck looked sharp in defeat ing Penn's co-captain Ken Leh man. The Lions will get a chance to even their record Saturday when they play Georgetown University. Fogg is making three changes in his lineup in an effort to get the Lions on the winning track.
