12—The Daily Collegian Tuesday, Feb. 14, 1984 Penn State has rich Olympic history By CHRIS LINDSLEY Collegian Sports Writer Remember Jesse Owens' amazing triple in the 1936 Games in Berlin, Mark Spitz's seven gold medal sum mer in Munich in 1972 and the U.S. hockey team in Lake Placid in 1980? Like these great athletes, over the years Penn State players and coaches have also compiled many great mo ments in Olympic .competition. Since the first Olympic Games in Athens, Greece in 1896, people asso ciated with Penn State have won 18 medals in Olympic competition, with the first two coming in St. Louis in the summer of 1904. Nate Cartmell, who served as Lion track and field and cross country coach from 1923-33, was a student at the University of Pennsylvania at the time of the St. Louis Games. Cartmell, a sprinter, won silver medals in the 100- and 200-meter dashes that year, but his Olympic career was far from over. In 1908 he went to the London Games where he captured two more medals. He took the bronze medal in the 200-meters and won his only gold medal in the medley mile relay. It would be a long 12 years until Someone from Penn State would be on the victory stand,again. Harold Barron and Larry Shields (both 1922 graduates) added to the track medals won by Cartmell by combining for a gold, silver and bronze in the 1920 Olympics in Ant werp, Belgium. Penn State had continued success through the 1920 s as it won four more medals in the 1924 games in Paris and added another during the 1928 games in Amsterdam. It wasn't until after World War II that Penn State emerged again on the Olympic scene. But it did so in dra matic style. In the 1948 Games in London, Bar ney Ewell, at age 42, won silver Medals in the 100- and 200-yard dashes and earned a gold in the 400- meter relay. - • Thope same London Games also marked the first appearance of Gene Wettstone. Wettstone, Penn State's men's gymnastics coach from 1946-76, took part in five Olympiads as a coach, At the BRICKHOUSE This Week Tues. -John , Cunningham Band Wed. - Edmund° &CO.

"When the Games are in the U.S., I have more confidence they will be conducted in a manner that is fair to everybody," Wettstone said. "But when they are held somewhere else, you have your doubts." Perhaps the most famous Penn State athlete to compete in the Games Was Horace Ashenfelter. Ashenfelter, a 1949 graduate, be came the only American to ever win the 3,000-meter steeplechase in the 1952 Summer Games at Helsinki. . He said that a lot has changed with the Olympics since that time, mainly in the area of professionalism. "Helsinki was the last of the truly amateur Olympics," Ashenfelter said. "The Finnish people went out of their way to be helpful and they were not out to make money. But things have changed drastically since then. Professionalism have taken over the Olympics, and the Games now are completely different." Although all the Lion medal win ners mentioned above competed in the Summer Olympics, 'one man, Kurt Oppelt, succeeded in winning a gold medal during the Winter Games. Oppelt, a former physical educa tion faculty member at Penn State, took the gold medal in pairs figure skating as he represented Austria in the 1956 Games in Cortina, Italy. The Summer Games of that year, held in Melbourne, Austrailia, told the tragic tale of gymnast Karl Schier. Schier, who is the men's gymnas tics coach, went into the 1956 Olympic trials aS the top American gymnast, but although he made the team, he was hampered with leg injuries and wasn't able to compete in Melbourne. "I had been training hardcore for the Olympics for nine years, and it was a grave disappointment for me not to be able to compete," Schier said. "In 1955 I won the NCAA, East ern and AAU all-around titles, but leg injuries forced me out of the Olym pics. But I was glad to come back to the Olympics as the United States Olympic gymnastics coach in Mon treal in 1976."

Shine was virtually an unknown before Montreal, but although he was definitely a darkhorse, he said he was confident going into the finals. "I knew that another athlete (Moses) has outclassed the world in this event, but I had the incentive to go out and I try to beat him," Shine said. "And after the eighth hurdle, when I was still with the leaders, I knew I could run with them to the finish." • In Moscow in 1980, no American even got a chance to start, much less finish.

Although the Games were never held, four Penn State athletes had qualified to make the trip to Moscow. Field hockey players Charlene Morett and Chris Larson-Mason, along with fencer Jana Angelakis and 10,000-meter runner Greg Fredericks were all training hard in preparation for the Moscow Games, and Morett said the•boicott was hard to take. "I was in great shape and ready to go, and the (field hockey) team was ranked third at the time of the' boy cott," Morett said.

HUB table's for details Guidry receives honor ; wary of bullpen job By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer NEW YORK Ron Guidry is inclined toward volunteering. Community service in general and the Special Olympics in particular are as much a part of him as the fastball he throws for the New York Yankees. • But he's not so inclined to volun teer. ,to leave the starting rotation and go to the bullpen, the way he did a few years back. Guidry was in New York yester day, five days before the opening of the team's advance training camp, to receive the Roberto Clemente Award from Commis sioner Bowie Kuhn, given annual ly to the major league baseball player who best exemplifies the game both on and off the field. Off it, the 33-year-old Guidry is involved in the Special Olympics for handicapped youngsters. Not coincidentally, his • k;.d brother, Travis, who turned 16 yesterday, is retarded. "I'd trade every significant achievement I've ever had to see Travis continue to progress and be Lady fencers record win By STACY NOONAN Collegian Sports Writer The women's fencing team upped its season record to 12-2 Saturday in Baltimore by defeating Johns Hop kins 15-1, Goucher College 15-1 and William and Mary 14-2. Hope Meyer, Sue Hill and Alyson Frost each posted 10-0 records for the meet. Lady Lions' Sue Page, 7-3, and Michelle Tarpley, 3-1, also led the team along with Cindy Watts and Wendy Miller, who each contributed 2-0 records to the team effort. William and Mary was supposed to give the Lady Lions their ; toughest competition of the meet but Head Coach Beth Alphin said the score of the match did not show how close the "Dance your pants off at the Saloon!"

"He's the one who has made the truly significant achievements." Not insignificant among Guidry's •on-field accomplish ments was his volunteering in 1979 to make himself a relief pitcher to shore up the Yankees' relief corps. He saved two .games in his three relief appearances. A year later he relieved eight times, one ending in 'a save. But 1984, with Goose Gossage having taken the free-agent route to San Diego and George Frazier traded to Cleveland, is a different matter. "I did it already -twice and I never even got a thank you. Noth ing," Guidry said. "So I don't know about leaning toward going back. I don't know if I'm at the point in my career where going into the bullpen would be better for me than staying as a starting pitcher., If I wasn't doing a good job as a starter, I'd go . . . but in the last seven years, maybe two or • three guys have won more games than me." competition actually was "In the William and Mary match we had seven 4-4 bouts that were decided by the last touch," Alphin said. "So William and Mary's score does not indicate the fact that they were really good opposition for us." Alphin also said she was pleased with the performance of the reserve fencers, especially against Goucher. "What we were hoping for against Goucher was to see some of the things we've been working on in practice," Alphin said. "I was very pleased with what I saw." No. 1 fencer Jana Angelakis did not perform in the meet because she was in Germany for a World Cup event with the U.S. Olympic squad. for Valentines r Doy,Feb.l4 Ni Valid 2/14/84 ONLY Stop In TODAY! 971. e shottest distance between two heatts is a A wwwwwlmo i Giselk: 4 1 11 En este mensaje A va una muestra d: de anuestro amor.
