PAGE SIX Quartermiler Threatens . Hambright's 440 Record George Metzgar's performance at the Quantico Relays the past weekend went relatively unnoticed in the wake of Bob Brown's 9.4 victory in the 100-yard dash. - Metzgar, a fast improving quartermiler who Coach Chick Werner calls one of the best in the East, turned in two blazing 440's for his weekend's! work He was clocked in 47.5 for his leg on State's distance medley victory over North Carolina and anchored the Lion mile relay quartet to a fifth place finish with a 47.4. Both of Metz gar's clockings bettered the Penn State rec ord of 47.6 set by Dick Ham bright in 1958. Bu t because they were set in a relay event (Metzgar got a running start ). Hambright's mark still stands. The senior George Metzger from Export, Pa., feels the rec ord may not last long though. "On a good day with a good track, I'll break it," Metzgar said. If - the 'weather clears up he may get his chance against Navy • on Beaver Field Saturday. Metzgar will run a "triple" against the Middies 220, 440 and nide relay. Although he has recorded a 9.8 in the 100 and a 21.3 in the 220, Metzgar feels his best event is the quarter mile. He ran the third fastest 440 in the nation in indoor competi tion this year. His 48.9 was bet tered by just two other runners, Jim Fisher of Minnesota (48.8) and Dave Mills of Purdue (47.2). Metzgar's main competition in the 440 Saturday may come from teammate Don Davies, who also has looked good this year. Noel Bing, Navy's top quarter miler, finished third in the 440 in a triangular meet with Pitt and Georgetown last week. Pitt's Vance Carter won the event in 50.3. Bing did better two weeks ago when he recorded a 49.7 victory against Morgan State and Quan tico in another triangular meet. Navy won both meets. The Mid dies scored 88 4 / 5 points to 36 for Pitt and 27 1/5 for Georgetown last week and surprised Quantico, 681':2-62 1 '2, two weeks ago.
