Werner Starts 29th Year
At Helm of Track Team
Not many coaches can say they have been at the same
job for 28 years, but Lion Coach Charles "Chick" Werner is
one of the few who can.
Werner will begin his 29th season as track and cross
country coach Oct. 7 when his harriers open the season
against Pitt.
The former Illinois track star
had one of his most successful
seasons last year.
His teams in cross country, in
door track, and outdoor track
posted brilliant records and came
through unmarked in dual com
petition.
The cross country squad copped
an unbeaten 6-0 season, including
a win over peren
nial power Mich
igan State, by
winning the
IC4A team title
in New York.
The indoor
track squad was
undefeated in
three dual meets,
and the track
team compiled a
5-0 record. Corn
hined this gives
Werner's teams a Werner
14-0 record for all three sports,
tremendous in anyone's book,
Last year's IC4A title was not
Werner's first. He won the East
ern Championship two year's run
ning in 1950 and 1951 and in 1947
and 1950 his harriers captured the
NCAA cross country title.
Werner was honored in 1959
when he was chosen as the coach
for the American team which
competed in And won the Pan-
American games at Mexico City,
Mexico.
He was also chosen a coach for
the American Olympic team in the
1952 games which were held in
Helsinki.
Werner has always been noted
for his development of distance
runners, but he has had outstand
ing competitors in all phases of
track.
Best remembered for his per
formances as a Penn State under
grad was Horace Ashenfelter.
Ashenfelter ran on Werner's 1947
NCAA championship cross coun
try squad, but his big claim to
fame was his victory for the Unit
ed States in the 3000-meter
steeplechase in the 1948 Olympics
at London.
Other big names who ha:•e de
veloped under Werner's guidance
include sprinters Barney Ewell
and Bobby Brown and miler Ed
Moran.
Werner has cause to he proud
of his past Penn State squads
and this year seems to he shap
ing up as another good one.
Army Drops Lonely End
NEW YORK (JP) Army Coach
Dale Hall has placed the once
revolutionary lonely end offense
of the Cadets on the shelf, and
once more Army's two flankmen
are compatible young football
warriors.
The Cadet depth chart lists
senior Paul Zmuida as its No. 1
lonely end; but the 6-foot-1, 180-
pounder from Schuylkill Haven,
Pa., contents himself with moving
15 yards from Army's outside
tackle after leaving the huddle,
"For one thing. the rules now
state that 15 yards is the limit
for splitting a man, so that rules
out the lonely end as such," Hall
said yesterday. "We feel that with
this limitation it is better that the
boys get the signal in the huddle."

four aerials to stop some key
Navy drives.
Along with their passing at
tack the Hurricanes have a strong
running game which tends to
keep opposing defenses honest.
According to backfield coach
Frank Patrick, who scouted the
Hurricanes in both their games
this year, Miami has a strong, ag
gressive line which will outweigh
State by 8-10 pounds per man and
two powerful backs in Jimmy Vol
lenweider and Nick Ryder.
State 'will start the same line
up tonight that started against
Navy with the exception of
Dave Robinson, who dislocated
his shoulder against the Middies
and may be out for the season.
Jim Schwab will start in place
of Robinson and Cliff Davis will
take Schwab's place on the Reddie
Unit.
"No one can really replace Rob
inson," Engle said after learning
that his star left end would be
out for at least six to eight weeks.
"But Schwab did a fine job against
Navy and we hope he improves
steadily on that showing."
Engle indicated that Ralph Bak
er has been moved from guard to
end and may spell Davis on de
fense tonight.

Maris Ready
For Red Sox;
MantleAi I ing
NEW YORK (/P) Roger
Maris will be back in the line
up but Mickey Mantle prob
ably won't when the New
York Yankees meet the Bos
ton Red Sox tonight in the opener
of the final series of the year.
Maris is tired but in good health.
Mantle is both tired and sick. The
star centerfielder, plagued by a
virus for over a week, suffered
a relapse Wednesday and did not,
even report to the park. He is
expected to be in uniform tonight,'
but even if he plays, he is almost
certain to be pulled out after a,
couple of innings.
Maris is eager to renew his
efforts to get home run No. 61,
which would make him the
I only player in history ever to
hit more home runs in a season
than Babe Ruth. He matched
Ruth's 1927 season total by hit
ting his 60th against Jack Fish
er of Baltimore Tuesday night.
The M and M boys were miss
ing from the lineup when the Yan
kees lost to the Orioles Wednes-i
day. Yesterday was an off day
for the Yankees.
Whitey Ford, Manager Ralph
Houk's candidate to pitch the
opener of the World Series
against Cincinnati next Wednes
day, was slated to start tonight.
Houk indicated he will yank his
star lefthander after five in
nings so he will be fresh for
the opener.
Fred Hutchinson, manager of
the Reds, apparently had the
same idea. He named southpaw
Jim O'Toole, his probable World
Series starter, to oppose the Pi
rates in Pittsburgh tonight. It will
come as no surprise if Hutch
sends O'Toole to the showers aft
er five or six innings.

Injured Colt Halfback
Placed on Waiver list
Baltimore (AP) The Balti
more Colts placed injured rookie
halfback Tom Matte on waivers
yesterday, but said the former.
Ohio State star would be taken off
the list if any other National
Football League club moved to
claim him.
Matte, 22-year-old top draft
choice for the Colts, suffered a
fractured vertebra last week in
Baltimore's 16-15 loss to Detroit
and will be sidelined for at least
six weeks.
Under league 'vies, Matte
would be out for the season if
the Colts put him on the injured
reserve list.
