PAGE SIX Brown Smashes Dash Mark 9.4 Victory Erases Old Mark of 9.6 By JIM KARL After three years of ifs, al mosts and near misses, Penn State's Bobby Brown broke a record that has been on the books for 54 years. Brown, senior and co-captain of the Lion track team, continually has flirted with the school record of 9.0 in the 100-yard dash during his three year sprint career at State. Saturday at the Quantico Re lays he quit flirting. Brown broke from the blocks as if he wanted to be the second man in space. He shot to the front of a field that included former IC4A champ Ed Collymore and Olympian: Bo Roberson, and when he hit the tape 9.4 seconds later, Roberson and Collymore were still trying to catch up. Brown's mark was only a tenth of a second off the world mark, The old Penn State record was first established in 1907 by Hi Henry. It was later equalled by Dick Batholomew (1929), Barney Ewell (1940), Wilbert Lancaster (1950), Art Pollard (1954), and Brown (1959). Lion Coach Chick Werner said that Jim GehrdeS, another Lion sprinter, had broken the record on numerous occasions but for one reason or another his times were never official. Brown' almost ran into the same trouble Saturday. A slight trail Wind was blowing but a check of the anemometer revealed just a light breeze of two to three miles Nittany Basebaliers Snowed Out Again The Penn State-Ithaca base ball game, originally scheduled to be played in Ithaca, N.Y.. to morrow afternoon, has been postponed until April 28 due to unfavorable weather conditions.

Deardorff ran a 1:51.5 880 to give State the lead in the two mile relay after three legs. But Steve Moorhead couldn't hold the pace and his 1:54.6 anchor leg dropped the Lions to fourth. Metzgar's 47:4 anchor leg in the mile relay helped State finish fifth in a hotly contested event. In other events, Lionel Bassett placed fifth in the 3,000 meter steeplechase (9:54.8), Ron Beard finished in a tie for fifth in the pole vault (13-6), and State's two mile relay team finished fourth (7:34.2).
