I DEDICATION

We of the Spiked Shoe Society of Cornell University

dedicate this issue of THE WASTEBASKET to:

CHARLES M. WERLY '27

As an undergraduate at Cornell, Mr. Werly captained

the freshman track team in 1924 as well as the var-

sity team in 1927• He was also a member of the

Cornel 1-Princeton team that faced Oxford and Cam-

bridge in 1925 in Atlantic City and again the next year in London. Since then Mr. Werly has served as

an Alumni Trustee of Cornell, President of the Cornell

Alumni Association, President of the Cornell Club of

New England, a member of the Cornell University Coun- cil and is presently a committee member for the Jack

Moakley Endowment Fund. Mr. Werly has also been a

generous contributor in support of Cornell track and

cross country. We are all deeply grateful to Mr.

Werly for his interest in furthering Cornell track. JACK MOAKLEY ENDOWMENT FUND

Plans have been completed for the launching of the Jack Moakley Endowment Fund program according to Hunt Bradley '26, committee chairman. The necessary University departments, namely Athletic and the Office of University Develop- ment, have been consulted for approval; committeemen have been appointed; letterheads, pledge cards and return envelopes have been printed. The initial phase is a personalized mailing, shortly after April 15, to a selected list of former track men for the purpose of obtaining leadership gifts. The second stage will come early in the summer following the conclusion of the current annual Cornell Fund whose fiscal year ends June 30th. This will be a general mailing to all other cross country and track men and managers. The total list of living track alumni consists of approximately 1200 names and includes Cornellians from the Class of 1906 on down to this year's Senior Class. The Committee anticipates wholehearted and generous support of this program and takes this opportunity to thank those who responded following the announcement in the last Issue of the WASTEBASKET.

SEASON ROUNDUP

The 1973-1974 indoor track season proved to be just as exciting as those in years past. Coaches Jack Warner and Tom Pagani guided the team to its first Ivy League Championship since 1958 and a second place finish to powerful Navy at the Heptagonal Championships. Their guidance also enabled the Big Red to produce a respectable 4 and 2 dual meet record by blending a handful of seasoned veterans with a plentiful supply of new young talent.

A number of new indoor records were set during this past season including Jim Leonard's 51'H" triple jump, Bob Anastasio's record runs in both the mile 4:08.0 and 1000 yard run 2:09.4, Dave Doupe's 59'2" and Phil Collin's 8:50.6 in the two mile. In addition, a new indoor two mile relay record of 7:37*7 was set by the team of freshman John Boots, Tom Patterson, Pal Roach and Bob Anastasio.

These are only a few of the many outstanding performances throughout the year as there were numerous personal records set which helps paint an optimistic picture for the upcoming outdoor campaign.

EVENT SUMMARIES

60, 60HH: The Big Red showed steady improvement again this year in the sprint events. In the 60 yard dash Vince "Rabbit" Redden and Reggie Barron both stopped the watches with quick 6.3 timings. Barron's most im- pressive showing was his second place performance at the Heptagonals. Unfortunately, Redden pulled a muscle early In the season but should be ready for the outdoor season. Other credible performances in the 60 came from Gary Reuben, Rick Brewington, and Earl Trent, all timed in 6.4. The 60 yard high hurdles saw best performances coming from Bruce Hulse with a 7.7 timing, and back-up coming from Mike Bobick in 8.0 and Dave Adams in 8.2.

440, 600: The Red showed their usual strength in these events. Senior Mike MacNei1 had the top 440 time with his 49-6 showing in the semi- finals of the IC4A's while Bruce Abels contributed a relay leg also timed in 49.6. Other excellent relay legs of the mile relay were turned in by Reggie Barron (50.5 leadoff) , freshman Glenn Christopher (50.5) and Pal Roach (50.6).

In the 600 veteran Pal Roach turned in the top performance with a 1:11.5 clocking. Mike MacNeil was a dependable performer through- out the season with several 1:12+ clockings. Glenn Christopher shows much promise for the future with a best this season of 1:13.8.

880, 1000: The top performances in the 880 all came on relay legs. Two mile relay anchorman and team captain Bob Anastasio churned a best of 1:52.5. Other relay legs of note came from freshman John Boots (1:53.6), junior Tom Patterson (1:54.0), and Pal Roach (1:54.3). Anastasio will be lost through graduation next year but replace- ments for the relay could come from Dane Keehn (1:55-3) or Dave Stinson (1:56.2) among a host of other half milers.

The 1000 yard field was also led by Anastasio with his Cornell record performance of 2:09.4 at the IC4A. Following him were Patterson (2:11.8), Roach (2:14.8) and Boots (2:15.4).

Ml le, Middle distance ace Anastasio set yet another Cornell indoor record 2 Mile: with his 4:08.0 clocking. Tom Patterson was a consistent performer with a best of 4:14.2, followed by greatly improved sophomore Craig Holm with a best of 4:15.0. Holm's effort was good enough to win the first section of the mile at the Heps.

Phil Collins was the standout for the Big Red in the 2 Mile. The senior had excellent back to back performances of 8:53 and 8:50.6 in the trials and finals of the IC4A. The latter time established another Cornell record, breaking the former record held by Olympian Jon Anderson. Junior Ray DeMarco recorded a personal indoor best of 9:04.5, followed by Craig Holm's 9:13-6.

Shot, Cornell received a big boost in the weight events this year with Wei ght: the entry of Dave Doupe. The freshman from California was the best high school shot putter in the nation last year. Dave set a new Cornell record In the shot on his very first toss in competition this past season. His personal best came at the Millrose Games with a 59'2" effort. Due to illness Doupe had to settle for second place honors at the Heps but came back the next week to win the IC4A Championships. Always improving Carl Shields achieved a personal best of 53'11i", and finished third in the Heps. Carl's strongest event is the 35 lb. weight In which he led the Red with a 56' 11" effort. Craig Champion, hampered by Injuries throughout the season, but a valuable performer none the less, had a seasonal best of 50'2". Jumps : The triple jump proved to be one of Cornell's most exciting events. Junior Jim Leonard won his third straight Heptagonal title with an incredible leap of 51'1£". Jim's effort earned him the Outstanding Performer Award for the meet, the first Cornellian to win the award since 1957. Following in Leonard's footsteps is freshman Jorman Granger who had a best of 48'1" and was a consistent performer throughout the entire season.

Leonard and Granger also had the leading performances in the as well with leaps of 22'6i" and 21'8" respectively. Others with notable performances were Terry Jackson (21'4"), Rich Nelson (21'1") , and Earl Lee (20'5"). Cornell's Horace Bradshaw was also a valuable scorer in both the triple jump and long jump.

The top performer for the Big Red in the was John Jones with a leap of 6'6". Following Jones were Jeff Humes and Richard Goclano with jumps of 6'2" and 6'0" respectively. The pole vault saw transfer student Al Brangman clear 13'6" while both Chuck Card and Bruce Grund cleared 13' even.

CAPTAIN'S COMMENTS

—Bob Anastasio

Looking back over the season, I feel that there was a definite progression in the team's achievements. At the beginning of the season it seemed that the team did not get excited about anything. With very few exceptions, the team was not working up to its potential. When they did work, it was for themselves, not the team. The result of this was the disastrous outcome of the Manhattan meet. It was after this meet that people began to realize what was happening to the team.

The team meeting that followed helped in bringing about changes and bring- ing the team closer together. People started working harder, and started caring about the team as a whole. The team that faced Army the next week was a new team. Were it not for a couple of close finishes that could have gone either way in the sprints and relay, we could very well have won the meet.

By the next week, against Yale, the team had finally pulled itself back together. In event after event, Big Red runners were not only beating the Yalies but did so with real quality performances. The same was also true of the Syracuse-Colgate meet.

The Heptagonals was our proudest achievement. Although I thought some of the team had peaked a little too early, we were able to come out on top of the Ivy League and second in the meet, highlighted by Jim Leonard's incredible series of triple jumps In which he broke both the 50' and 51' barriers.

In the IC4A's we continued to perform well, scoring 12 points. The NCAA's at Detroit was a disaster for me and would rather not talk about it. I'd rather look ahead to the outdoor season. The schedule is the best we've had in terms of competition since I've been here at Cornell. I just hope that every- body faces up to the challenge it presents us. We can accomplish a great deal, for the team as well as for our own personal development.

INDOOR POINT TOTALS This past fall we sent out over 1200 copies of the WASTEBASKET! In 1973 we had 98 contributors, to whom we are very grateful. But just think, if the other 1100 could pay their $5 dues to the Spiked Shoe Society, or contribute $10 to be a sponsor ... 1

As many of you already know, this money is used to help finance the team's spring trip south. Team members also work for the trip by selling T-shirts, cleaning the football stadium, and paying their dues. This southern trip is a valuable asset to our track program and we would appreciate any help you can give us.

SOUTHERN TRIP

Once again the Big Red will be heading south during spring break to open the outdoor campaign. Forty-two athletes, two coaches, the manager Paul Schmitt and trainer Dick LaFrance will head for Williamsburg, Virginia to participate in the Colonial Relays on April 5 and 6. Six athletes will also compete at the South Carolina Relays in Columbia, S. C. on April 6. The team will remain in Williamsburg for a few days to meet William and Mary In dual competition. From there the team heads for Penn State and the Nittany Lion Relays to complete a busy week.

This year, as in the past, the trip is being funded by alumni contribu- tions and the athletes themselves by cleaning the football stadium, selling T-shirts and paying dues. This is the first year, however, that we have asked for assistance from parents of the athletes as well. Thus far their response has been excellent in helping us.

We feel that the trip Is valuable for a variety of reasons. First, it provides more competition for the team that it normally would not be able to have. It also provides an opportunity to do some warm weather training while the snow in Ithaca begins to melt. The trip south also serves as an attractive addition to our program for recruiting purposes. We're all very grateful to everyone that has helped in making the trip possible. OUTDOOR SCHEDULE

DO YOU KNOW, that ...

In 1912 the world's records for the Indoor and outdoor one mile and the American record for the outdoor two mile were held by Cornellians Herb Trube '08 (4.19 4/5) , John Paul Jones '13 (4.15 2/5) and Tell Berna '12 (9-17 4/5).

Two Cornell high jumpers have been Olympic champions, '05 In 1908 at London (6'3") and Alma Richards '17 in 1912 at Stockholm (6'3.98") before he transferred to Cornell from Brigham Young U.

At the 1919 IC4A's In Harvard Stadium four men scored 33 or Cornell's winning total of 39i points—Walker Smith '20 and Jack Watt '18 one two in both the hurdles for 18, Kay Mayer '20 first In the quarter and half for 10, and Capt. Ivan Dresser '19 first In the two mile for 5.

Frank Foss '17 set a world's record of 13'5" in winning the 1920 Olympic pole vault at Atwerp and another Cornellian, Eddie Cook '10, tied for first in the 1908 London Olympics at 12'2".

Vere "Windy" Windnagle '17 was only three steps behind Penn's Ted Mere- dith when he set a world's 880 record of 1.52 1/5 in our 1916 dual meet on FranklIn Field.

Dave Kimball '24 was co-holder of the world's interscholastic record for the 220 yd. hurdles while running for Deerfield-Shlelds High School before coming to Cornel1--time 24 2/5.

Hammer-thrower Al Hall '56 Is a four time Olympian (1956, 60, 64, 68) and discus-thrower John Anderson '29 was twice on the U. S. team placing fifth in the 1928 Amsterdam games and the champ in 1932 at Los Angeles.

Four Ithaca Tremans ran on Jack Moakley teams: brothers Bob '09 and Allan '21 were hurdlers as was cousin Art '23 (1923 indoor IC4A hurdle winner) whose brother Charlie, half-miler, captained the 1930 varsity.

Cornell men took the first four places in the 1919 outdoor IC4A two mile at Cambridge—Pat Potter '16, Capt. Johnny Hoffmire '16, Ed Frey '17 and Jim Corwlth '16 in that order.

1920 Olympian Walker Smith '20 was National A.A.U. indoor 70 yd. high hurdle victor in both 1919 and 1920 and co-holder of the meet record of 9 1/5 sec.

The writer had the privilege of measuring the first 14' pole vault in the world (Sabln Carr of Yale), on top of the ladder at the 1927 IC4A meet on Franklin Field. YESTERYEAR continued

Gene Goodwillle '27, later a Rhodes Scholar, set a world's interscholas- tlc best for the 220 around one turn (21 2/5) at the 1923 University of Chicago Interscholastics in his senior year at University H. S., Chicago.

Walt Heasley '30 won the high hurdles In the 1930 Corne11-PrInceton vs. Oxford-Cambridge meet In England and son Dave '59 won the same event 28 years later, also in London, times almost Identical: Walt 15 1/5, Dave 15.1.

Flash Gourdlne '52 was only 1±" behind the winner of the 1952 Helsinki Olympic broad jump winner (24'10") and Bo Roberson '58 was just i" in back of Ralh Boston's winning leap of 2617 3/4" at the 1960 Rome Olympics.

DO YOU REMEMBER? ...

Hank Russell '26, the time the King of Spain stepped on your ankle while playing duck-on-the-rock at that English country estate three days before you won the 100 and 220 against Oxford and Cambridge at Stamford Bridge, London?

Bob Seallan '36, when some joker teammate placed a live lobster In your suitcase, unbeknown to you, before boarding the train for the return trip from Boston after a Quad meet?

John Nevlus '39, after running 47-9 for 6th In the IC4A 440 final In 1939 at Randalls Island, saying to me "My best time ever and I didn't even win my stripe."?

Charlie Neff '37, the night at the indoor IC4A's the officials completely overlooked you when you dove under the tape in the hurdle semi-final for at least second If not indeed first?

Sam Levering '30, or was It Herb Cornell '38, when the elastic on your track pants busted and you had to run half the mile race (the last half) con- tinually yanking them in place?

Manager John Hancock '89 (name and class fictitious) the night you went to the wrong station in Boston with all the teams' return tickets from Boston to Ithaca In your pocket and too late to catch the train at Trinity Place?

We are extremely pleased by the showing of the team during the indoor season and are real proud of each and every man. They rebounded from a rather bad licking at the hands of Manhattan to finish strong in the remainder of our meets both dual and championship. The Ivy win was particularly gratifying to all of us and the 7th place finish in the IC4A was a good accomplishment in a meet that was the closest that It has been in many years. Over the past 10 to 15 years an average of 14 points pretty much assured you of a third place trophy.

We look forward to the outdoor season with great anticipation and some new personal and Cornell marks. Our one home meet will be a real highlight as Birmingham from England will be here along with Colgate on the 20th of April. We are happy to be able to return some of the great hospitality that Birmingham has extended to us on our trips to England. It promises to be a fine meet and if you will be In the vicinity of Ithaca on that date, you had better drop in for this meet!

LUNG MOW TROPHY: Robert S. Spear '19, 425 Yale Drive, San Mateo, California 94402, has been seeking to learn the whereabouts of the LUNG MOW TROPHY. He has traced it to about 1942 and after that no one seems to know what happened to it. Anyone having any knowledge of the trophy from 1940 on, please contact Bob to aid him in his search.

CORNELL TRACK ARCHIVES: We are attempting to complete our file of past issues of the WASTEBASKET. We are missing many issues. We have copies of the follow- ing issues. If you have some that we do not have and would like to contribute them, we would be very grateful to you.

The entire Cornell track community is very grateful to the many parents who responded to our plea for financial help towards the 1974 spring trip. Parents contributed some $465.00 and we all appreciate this help very much.

We also had gifts from some alums totaling $560.00 towards the 1974 spring trip and we thank them for their continued support. From the team came $950.00 in dues which is applied towards the trip as well as other needs. In all the trip will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000 and as of this writing and one day before departing on the trip, we are very close to that figure with some income still outstanding.
