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."
Grant (6-1, 168) hails from
Campbell Rep! •
DETROIT I , x')—The Detroit
Tigers, disappointed over jheir
failure to contend for the pen
nant this season, named young,
aggressive Jim Campbell their
general manager yesterday.
- The appointment of the 38 -year
void iveteran baseball executive
was the major part of a sweep
ing reshuffling• of the Tigers'
front ;office.
Campbell, a Tiger vice presi
dent and head of the club's minor
league operations since 1959, as
sumes the duties-handled by Vice
President Rick Ferrell. The ac
tual f general manager has
been vacant since October ]960
when John E. Fetzer purchased
outright control of the club and

"Bassett his really been look

lOC. Ban on Subsdized, Athletes
.
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. "Mr.

Brandage's estimate of the effect
of the ruling that it would wipe
out half the American Olympic
tea' _a reflects a shocking lack of
knowledge of educational adminis
tration in this country."
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.
