FRIDAY. MAY 12. 1961 Pitt Trackmen Show Signsof Improvement Alter a dismal start Pitt’s track team has begun to show a little life and Panther Coach Carl Reese is breathing easier. The Panthers, who finally beat West Virginia last week, 81-50, after dropping their first feated Penn State team at 12 "Final exams hurl us," Reese said yesterday. "They came be tween the second and third meet and with the bad weather it made it rough for us." Pitt dropped its season opener 104-27 to a strong Maryland squad, finished second to Navy in a tri angular meet (Navy 88, Pitt §6, Georgetown 27) and dropped $ 72-49 decision to Miami of Ohio bef ore beating West Virginia Penn State edged Navy 66% - 64% and Bob then beat Michigan State and Ohio State in a triangular meet faqf urnnlf "After I read the result* of the Navy meet it didn't seem like we should be on the same track with Penn Slate," Reese gaid. "But looking at the results Of the Penn Relays and your tri angular meet last week, things look a little more encouraging." (State came up with some good Individual performances at the j»enn Relays but failed to win any relay titles. The times in last week’s meet weren’t quite as fast Salem refreshes your taste 3if"§sft§o§ ,/ every puff CLjbu/ft..

Reese said that vveightman Dan Kanell is Pitt’s only outstanding performer. “Our only sure winner; is Kanell,” he said. "Next to Kanell, Bob Shana felt is our most reliable point getter. He won both the 100 and 220 against West Virginia and he won indoors against Navy and Harvard. Pitt’s big weakness appears to be the distance events. Against jWest Virginia, Panther Bob Tak rany won both the mile and the two mile but his times were slow. He was clocked in 4:28.1 in the mile and 10:05 in the two mile. Penn State has three men who have bettered 4:15 in the mile so far this season and Gerry Norman was clocked in 9:13.8 in the two mile last week. Pitt may also be in for some trouble in the hurdles. Sopho more Bob Grantham's limes haven't been exceptionally fast but he's improving each week. He finished second in the 120 highs and then scored an upset by capturing first place in the 220 lows against Navy’s highly rated j hurdlers. Then last week he swept events against Michigan State and Ohio State. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Br The AuacieteJ Press American League „ W. 1,. Pet. G.B.
