FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1963 Lion Thinclad Coach Season Opener With By ED CARPENTER It's as inevitable as a winter snow fall in - State College. After hours, on - the practice field, a . coach must review his team's chances for a successful season before that first big-meet. Many times a coach looks for ward to the coming season with about as much enthusiasm as a Penn Stater looks forward to final exams, but this is not the . case of John Lucas, coach of the Lion indoor track team. EARLIER THIS week, Lucas stated that he is looking forward to the start of the season with great enthusiasm" (The thinclads open their season tomorrow when they meet Ohio State at Colum bus). The reason for his anticipa tion could be traced to two fac tors. First is the fact that this' is Rice Homecoming Foe Rice has been. selected as Penn State's homecbming opponent for next football season. The Owls and Lions will clash at Beaver Stadium Oct. 5 in the sec ond meeting between the schools. State was an 18-7 Winner last fall at Houston. State's 14th annual Band Day a program which will bring 60 Pennsylvania high school bands and more than 5,000 bandsmen to campus will be held Oct. 26 at halftime of the West Vir game.

He inherited the reins when former coach, Chick Werner left the state to become director of the United States Track and Field Feder- ation. The se.cond reason for Lu- cas' enthusiasm could be the abil- ity. of this year's runners. Accord- ing to Lucas, "we have potential winners in every event." The nucleus of this year's team consists of two seniors, Howie Grantham Deardorff and Bob Grantham ACCORDING TO Lucas, Dear dorff has built up his stamina to such a degree that he can run distances both less and greater than his speciality, the mile. In Ldcas' opinion this is the sign of a great runner. Along with Deardorff, the thin clads have captain Grantham. On the track roster Grantham is listed as a hurdler and high jumper. Also Grantham is prob ably the best sprinter on the squad. He should provide some of the necessary points in the sprints, : I:4y : 8 :;: . 8 - , : . .. g :.t..i.,.„ .11, ..:?:,..t .

'oast 1410 ford-ha/II 4217,f1119S In our search to provide good performance with lighter powerplants, Ford Motor Company engineers and foundrymen have pioneered new techniques that now let us cast our engine blocks with such precision that much fighter engines are made possible. New materials used to make cores and molds and new casting methods enable us to make engine parts with walls as thick as necessary—but no thicker. This eliminates weight of extra material which must be used to provide adequate strength with less precise casting methods. Reducjng engine weight through precision casting means more performance per pound—and since Awaits Buckeyes the weakest area for the Lions. In addition to the long distance events, the Lions next strongest area 'is the middle distance run ning. Leading the Nittanies are four sophomores and a senior. The sophs are headed by Zen Kwozko, Tom Bedick, Bob Maniello and Bill Hibschman; - -while the senior is Dick Tuft. ' Another sop h omor e, Dick Lampman, is rated by coach Lucas as the most improved runner on the squad. IN THE HIGH and low hurdles, the Lions can count on both Grantham and junior George Barnhill. In the meet against Slip pery Rock, Barnhill finished first in the 80-yard low hurdles and placed second behind Grantham in the high hurdles. In the 16-pound shot Lucas has only Tom Urbanik. Lucas pre dicts that the junior should be able to throw the shot 52', but there's no one else behind him. Despite poor facilities and cold weather, Ci Risoldi, Torn Pinker ton, and Dave Briar ,have come along exceptionally Well in the high jump. Don Gregg, Lionel Bassett, Joe Nichols and Jim Johnson round out : the heart of this year's indoor track team. Result: New family of lightweight powerplants „ including a new V-8 that weighs 110 pounds less than the comparable V-8 it replaces Maryland Admits Negro Athlete As Deep South Breaks Color Line By WILL GRIMSLEY Associated Press Sports Writer . The color barrier is down, and other colleges in the Deep South and Southwest appeared ready today to follow Mary land's lead in opening its football roster to Negro athletes. Some, such as Wake Forest, Miami of Florida and Texas Christian University, acknowledged they not only would be willing to use Negro players but may go so far as to start recruiting them. While. many of the Dixie schools continued to play the delicate situation cagily, admin istrators and athletic directors termed the use of-Negro athletes inevitable. TOM NUGENT, head football coach at Maryland, set the wheels in motion when he announced that Darryl Hill, a Negro -halfback, had transfered to Maryland from the U.S. Naval Academy and probably would be good enough to be a starter. Hill would be the first Negro ever to play on a major sports team in the Dixie-flavored Allan tie Coast Conference. Nugent's announcement wa s followed almost immediately by a statement from Coach Billy Hilde brand- of Wake Forest, who said the Winston-Salem, N.C., institu tion will actively recruit Negro players. "Our football staff will avail it- 11111 47i : ( Ct ...r d 'NI * • lighter engines mean overall car weight can be reduced, better fuel economy results.

He was backed up by the Wake Forest persident. Dr. liar old Tribble.
