PAGE EIGHT Army Shells Thinclads; Takes 13 First Places By JAY FINEGAN Collegian Sports Writer Penn State's track team took a bus ride up along the Hudson River and somehow ended up on a field of battle. It was not a Revolutionary or Civil War monument park either. The battle was fought Saturday on the cloud-covered plains of West Point. The Cadets' strategy included frontal attacks, phalanxes and cavalry charges. The Army did everything but lay seige to the Lions' bus when it pulled in. It was the "Night of the Generals", but in the daytime. MacArthur or Eisenhower never waged a better attack. It was Custer's Last Stand without the Indians. It would have been the St. Valentine's Day Massacre if Al Capone had worn a track suit. It was the worst clay for a band of lions since the big game hunters hit Africa. Army Wipes Out State When the smoke lifted, they took a body count and casualties were heavy. Army over State. 101-53. The Nittany Lions may go on government welfare as a defeated nation. State track men now have some inkling of how Hiroshima and Nagasaki felt the day U.S. military might was unleashed on them. Reporters called Foyt Wins Pole INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) A. J. Foyt won the pole position Saturday for the 5750,000 Indianapolis 500 and competed in a 57,500 stock car race at New Bremen, Ohio, the next day. That sounds like the Detroit Tigers' Al Kaline driving down to Toledo to pinch hit for the Mud Hens on a day off. But it's just the nature of auto racing and of Foyt, one of the fiercest competitors in sports. "This is just another race," the 34-year-old driver from Houston, Tex., said of the 500, "Although I'd be honored, of course, to be the first driver to win it four times." Foyt's Indy victory in 1967, following 1961 and 1964 wins, put him alongside Louis Meyer, Wilbur Shaw and Mauri Rose as the only three• Major Leagr By The Associated Press NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division W.

The West Pointers won 11 of 16 in dividual events and both of the relays. They showed some of the form that makes them top candidates for the best dual meet track team in the East. The Military Academy's team is deeper than a diving tank and better balanced than a uranium scale in a nuclear lab. Score Heavily Cadet Kevin Flanagan won the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds flat then led Army's 41.9 win in the 440-yard relay. Army scored heavily and consistently in all running events and knocked a large hole in State's powerful weight fortress. Instead of a demolition gang they used Bruce Wallis, who threw the javelin 252 feet. State's Scott Hagy chucked the spear for his second best distance of the season. 224 feet, and could place no high er than third. Mike Reid won the shot put, and Fred Kingston took the discuss. Lion high points came with a few breakthroughs in the distance runs. Al Shcaffcr, after falling far behind in the mile, came on strong in the half mile to win in 1:53.7. It was the gutsiest attack since Picket's ill-fated charge. Brinker Wins Ken Brinker cruised to a 53.6 victory in the 440-yard hurdles and Phil Peterson In Indy 500 tine 500 winners Foyt won $775 for his second place finish at New Bremen. His last Indianapolis victory put $171,527 in his pocket. Many famous drivers, from Barney Old field to Mario Andretti, naven't made victory lane at Indy. Andretti, the Italian native who now lives in Nazareth, Pa. will be starting alongside Foyt in the front row Friday, taking his fifth crack at the 500. Foyt is considered the man to beat in most races he enters, even without the pole position. He'll have the favored spot and his experience working for him Friday. Bobby Unser of Albuquerque, N.M , the 1968 winner who is starting on the outside of the first row in this year's race, is the only other former winner in the field. AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division W.

Ralph Kissel and Jim Miller both turned in 4:12 miles, six seconds faster than either's previous best. But the most excitement of the somber day was pro vided by Army's Greg Olson when he cleared seven feet in the high jump. State pole vaulter Ed Seese went over 14-6 in that event then placed the bar at 15-2, He missed on all three attempts. The dual meet season is now over with the IC4As and NCAA championships remaining. State finished 4-2, losing to Army and St. John's and downing Navy, Kent State, Villanova and winning the "Big-4" meet at Pittsburgh. It was a year that began for many hack in the summer with long jogs at dawn or steamy hours in a weight room. Shot putters lifted telephone poles or dug graves to get in shape and milers ran along deserted country roads and cramped city sreets. For first year coach Harry Groves it must be rated a key season of success and a preparation for the future. And for many, it ended Saturday. But really, it never ends. You know, old track men never die, they just outgrow their sweat suits.

Muhammed Ali hadn't come to Penn State to box. The former world heavyweight champion was dressed in a conservative business suit that symbolized his new, and apparently permanent, occupation—a Black Mus lim minister. Ali spoke to a packed Rec Hall Friday night, preaching the Muslim creed which calls for sepa ration of the races, but he prefaced his speech with a few remarks about his ring career and referred to box ing several times. It was obvious that old habits are hard to break. The old career is going to take a back seat, how ever, as Ali made abundantly clear to all who would listen, and when a man that powerful speaks, everyone "I am through with boxing forever," Ali said, main taining that he will follow the instructions of the Black Muslim leader, Elijah Muhammed, who has forbidden him to return to the ring. Obstacles have formed on all sides to keep one of boxing's most talented and exciting performers from ever thrilling crowds again. When he refused to enter the Army on the grounds that he was a Black Muslim minister, the World Boxing Association took Ali's title —before he was even convicted. After a protracted court fight Ali was sentenced to five years in prison. He is appealing the case and in recent months rumors have spread that the justice de partment may eventually drop the case against the 27-year-old former champion. Those rumors prompted speculation that Ali might come back to reclaim his title from Jimmy Ellis, the WBA champ, or Joe Fra zier, the 1968 Olympic gold medalist who is recognized in five states. Ali killed his follower's hopes by refusing to go Nicklaus Predicts Win " ATLANTA (AP)—Jack Nicklaus has some bad news .=•• Ili C for his golfing rivals. = The Golden Bear, who has his sights set on winning the U.S. Open, says he couldn't be happier about his game.

"The best thing that would happen to boxing would be a white champ," Ali said. "They need guys MUHAMMED AL! like Jerry Quarry. Boxing _ . won't fight again was in its heyday with guys like Rocky Marciano and Jack Dempsey and other white champs. Today we have too many colored champions so the whites have nobody to root for." Ali never said it, but everyone knew that there is one black man the whites would turn out to see— Muhammed Ali. if boxing is ever to be a large fan interest sport again it needs him badly. Unfortunately, boxing snubbed its champion in his hour of need and now he shows no inclination to come back to help a dying sport. But he left no doubt of his confidence in his great talents. "If I went against Frazier or Ellis it would be no contest," he said. "They're too slow and too light." Happily for poetry fans, he didn't predict a round. But he will be missed by those who like boxing as it should be—between the best contenders, not pretenders. -- giniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiminiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllminiuniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiminimiiiiintim I - 7- g s Thank you for a successful Spring Week you guys made it the greatest! it's DIX caititac Pontiac POWER, PERFORMANCE AND THE PURR OF SATISFACTION Select from these SAFETY TESTED USED CARS 1966 PONTIAC Bonneville 4 Dr. HT Antique gold, gold interior, automatic, power steering and brakes 1968 CHEVROLET Biscayne 4 Dr Sdn Alpine white, blue interior, 8 cyl., automatic, power steering 1985 PONTIAC GTO 2 Dr Automatic, Iris with black bucket seats 1965 MUSTANG Fastback Maroon, black interior. 4 speed 1968 FORD Torino 2 Dr HT Light blue, dark blue bucket seats, 8 cylinder, automatic, power steering, console, like new 1967 PONTIAC Catalina 2 Dr HT White, turquoise interior, automatic, power steering and brakes 1968 PONTIAC Catalina 4 Dr HT Silver gray, black padded top, black interior, automatic, power steering and brakes , 1967 PLYMOUTH Barracuda Fastback 2 Dr HT, red, black interior, 8 cylinder, automatic, power steering, console 1967 VOLKSWAGEN 2 Dr. Blue with blue interior, radio, 4 speed 1966 BUICK Electra 225 2 Dr HT Power seat, windows, steering and brakes, light green with green interior 1968 SUZUKI Motorcycle 28 USED CARS to choose!
