Track coach John Lucas pon
dered the question a minute
and then answered: “One
needs the strength of a Rip
Engle interior lineman, the
agility of a Gene Wettstone
gymnast and the interest to stick
with something difficult for at
least two years.”
This may sound like a peculiar
combination, but it is how the
Lion coach describes an ideal
hammer thrower. In fact Lucas is
now searching the Penn Slate
campus for an athlete with just
such assets.
The reason is the possibly this
year, but certainly by next, the
Lions will be competing in the
event. It will mark the first time
since World War II that the ham
mer throw will be included in the
State track and field program.
IN PREPARATION for the 16-
pound hammer throw, and be
cause it is an event on the IC4A
program, Lucas is now having all
those interested throw the 35-

pound weight. The major differ
ence in the two is that the 16-
pound ball is suspended on a
metal chain. At the end of the
chain there is a triangle directly
attached to it. In addition the
hammer throw is an outdoor
event, while the 36-pound event
is held indoors.
Both these events, are far from'
newcomers to the field scene.
Through carvings found on cave
walls, one can see that men
started throwing weights during
pre-civilization. During the Mid
dle Ages the’ Celts created a
sledge, which was a piece of rec
tangular metal with a handle
around it, and threw it during
athletic festivals.
At this time the Scotch took
up weight throwing and it quickly
became part of the famous Scotish
Highland Games. It has remained
a part of the games up until today.
THESE EVENTS came to the
U.S. during the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries with the
Irish migration. Since the Irish
settled mainly in the Boston and
New York areas ,these places be

came the centers of the weight and
hammer throws.
In addition to the New England
and Middle Atlantic states, inter
est, within the past decade, has
spread to California.
According to Coach Lucas the
only hope for the hammer throw
in Pennsylvania appears to be
in the Pittsburgh area where some
high schools have scheduled the
12-pound hammer iiv dual meets.
In fact Lucas expressed a desire
to see the 12-pound hammer be
come an exhibition to the PIAA
championghips.
The reason for the coach’s con
cern is that the U.S. has only one
athlete, Harold Connelly, capable

of competing in both these events.
Connelly holds the world records
in both the 35-pound throw (71
feet) and the 16-pound hammer
(231 feet, 10 inches.)
Both weights are thrown in the
same manner. The athlete stands
in a seven foot circle, the same
size used in the shot put. He then
makes three fast turns before re
leasing the weight.

Coach Lucas labels as “very prom
ising,” Rod Bear y and Sam
Morasco. The sophomore is Harry
Humphreys. According to the Lion
