PAGE TEN Brown Reeses By JIM KARL A week ago today Pitt track Coach Carl Reese was a very worried man I]is thinclads had just drop per! three meets in a row, in cluding a 72-40 decision to little Miami of Ohio. Even when his squad beat West Virginia, 81-50, that afier noon ho still wasn't happy. He envisioned another loss coming up against unbeaten Penn State the following Saturday. “This is probably the weakest team I’ve over had,” Reese moaned into the phone a few days ago. "Wu shouldn’t even be on the same track with Penn State, but as long as both teams tie their shoes (lie same way I guess you have to say we have a chance to win.” Reese felt a little belter when lie heard that Penn State’s times were slower in a triangular meet last week than against Navy the week before. And now he's even smiling again, because it looks like a couple of factors have com bined to put Pitt right back in the meet, which begins at 12 this afternoon in Pill Stadium.

It was the 29th racing wreck —and the last for Betten hausen, two-time champion of the AAA (now USAC) big car circuit. The father of two boys and two girls was dead when guards fought their way through screaming, horrified fans to j where the shattered car hung j in wire atop the wall. j The affable driver, who said he The impact ripped away 250 would retire if he ever won the fppt nf fpnrp ; rich Indianapolis race, had start „ n * uj * a . ed in every 500 but one since 1 ; World War II but his second with ?
