PAGE EIGHT Nittany Harriers Like. Powerhouse By JOE GRATA The 1962 edition of State's cross-country squad, under the guidance of new coach John Lucas„ again looks like a po tential Eastern powerhouse. The Lions have perennially produced threatening contingents and displayed supremacy in the 301 A Conference with a cham .pionship in _1960 and a second place finish' behind a powerful Michigan State team last year. Many questions remain -con terning this year's team. As the Nittanies near their season open er with Pitt next Saturday, the enthusiasm and conditioning so typical of former State teams is starting to becolte evident. Sophomores - Colin Grant and Dick Lampman an d captain - Howie Deardorff are expected to head the field of runners. Dear- Alorff haii consistently turned in winning finishes for. the Lions for the past two years. Grant and Larnpman are tech nically untried and untested' in intercollegiate, varsity compe tition. The two looked good • as Ireihman runners last year, how-. ever, and have been outstand ingly impressive in practice this year. - BOTH ARE 'Very fine and ex ceptional runners; Lucas said recently. "These two and -Howie {Deardorff) should rank' as our best Performers."

Efidaigers American Olympic _Squad -CHICAGO (W) An In mational Olympic Committee mandate envisioned as wiping out half the American Olympic team by banning subsidized athletei drew 'quick - rebuttal yesterday from the top men of the U.S.' OlyMpii Committee and the NCAA. • lOC President _Avery Brundage who celebrates his 75th birthday today disclosed the new rule which also cracks down ,on "state amateurs" subsidized by their governments, seem ingly aimed at Soviet Russia and I .7 • satellites. An iron-fisted champion of pure amateurism, Brundage said tilt new code, sent by the lOC t nationals Olympic committees and" in t ern a tional federations, an;- swered adverse, if limited, critii cism of ;Olympic standards.' 'Eighty-five per cent_of the criticism deals with 'state am= atuers' -- boys taken away, from their work and studies to train," said Brundage_ 'The other crib cism has been of our paid and subsidized athletes. In internation al 'circles we are considered worse than the Communists." ?HIS OBVIOUS challenge of scholarship-winning college ath; letes drew immediate fire from K. L. (Tug) Wilson, president of the U I S. Olympic Committee; whose office is in Brundage's LA Salle Hotel, and Walter Byers, executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Both` emphasized that NCAA rules demand that college competi tors be students first and athletes second: "The overwhelming majority of our competitors. will have no dif ficulty whatsoever in, meeting the lOC criteria," said Byers.

Wilson, a former NCAA leader, not onlyconcurred with Byers, but stressed that the NCAA code requires that the school where an athlete is awarded a grant-in-aid "as one of the criteria" must con tinue the scholarship if, the ath lete maintains proper gradeseven if he fails to succeed in sports. Wilson also said friends abroad informed him the lOC dictum was aimed mostly fit recruiting of ath letes from other countries by "some of our colleges and univer sities whit offer them scholar ships."' • He said he agreed with this complaint if such recruitment is done without regard for scholastic standing,: and that the NCAA would probe any cited cases. "It is not right to indict the whole college system of granting aid to athletes because a few vio lated the code," Wilson said. BEAT AIR FORCE Pd! rant eado LION tectio
