THE NEWSLETTER of CORNELL TRACK and CROSS COUNTRY Vol THE NEWSLETTER OF CORNELL TRACK AND CROSS COUNTRY Vol. 6k No. 2 WINTER & SPRING I98O Dan Predmore '80 receives the Outstanding Performer Award from Cornell Athletic Director Dick Schultz following the indoor Heps at Barton Hall. "Stan" won the 5000 meters in record time and anchored the distance medley relay team to a thrilling come-from-behind victory. We of the Spiked Shoe Society of Cornell University dedicate this issue of the WASTEBASKET to JOHN R. BANGS JR. '21 An honorary member of our Spiked Shoe Society and a fine supporter of the Moakley Fund, John came to Cornell after attending Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. He received a mechanical engineering degree from Cornell in 1921 and later taught (he was a professor of industrial engineering) and coached (he was an assistant under Jack Moakley and worked with weightmen) at Cornell. As an undergraduate, John was a letterman and won his stripe in track for his performance in the hammer throw in the 1918 IC*+A. He was also a good shot putter. He proved to be an excellent coach, boasting such fine Cornell weight performers as Olympians John Anderson '29, Kenneth Caskey '25 and Walter D. Wood '36. His weightmen won a total of eight indoor and out- door IC^A titles during his tenure as an assistant coach at Cornell. During World War II John joined the Budd Company of Philadelphia. Upon retirement he moved to Florida and became professor of management in the business college at the University of Florida where he also served as assistant track coach and developed several record holders. He retired recently. A member of the University of Florida Sports Hall of Fame, John and his wife, Clara, reside in Gainesville, Florida. We of the Spiked Shoe Society would like to thank Mr. Bangs for his ongoing support of track and field at Cornell. As usual, Coach Warner had. whipped his men into shape by the opening meet of the season, the third annual Cornell Relays back in December. But the best performance of the day was not by an undergraduate but by Pete Pfitzinger '79, running for the Greater Boston Track Club, who smashed the meet and Barton Hall record in the three- mile run in 13:^3.1...The last meet of 1979 -- the Syracuse Relays -- saw Jim Hertzog, Ken Johnson, Kevin Callanan and Bob Hanss break the meet record in the 4xl600-meter relay (17:19*5)••.After a somewhat shortened intersession, the Red forces split; some journeyed to the prestigious East Tennessee Invitational, while others re- turned to Syracuse for the Syracuse Invitational. At Tennessee the distance medley foursome of Colin McClive, Jim Kinnier, Bart Petracca and Dan Predmore chopped seven seconds off the Cornell record and took fourth place (9:55.7). Back in Syracuse, several men turned in personal bests, including pole vaulter Steve Putscher, who cleared 13-11^ for a new frosh record.. .January 19 marked the competitive debut of Barton Hall's "new" indoor track. (Early in January, Coach Warner and his "elves" transformed the 220-yard track to a 200-meter oval.) The meet was the 13th annual Cornell Invitational (first run in Warner's rookie year as head Cornell coach) and both men and women made the metric debut an exciting one...Cornell was too gracious a host the following two weeks, dropping close battles to Army and then to LSU. Against the Cadets the Red chalked up more first places and swept the 400 meters and high jump, but Army's bulk of seconds and thirds made the difference...Every race brought new excitement when Louisiana and Cornell clashed in Barton and a number of inspiring per- formances resulted. Dan Predmore broke the Cornell 3000-meter record (8:09.22), while LSU's Eugene McCain leaped 25-1 feet in the long jump, breaking Bo Roberson's 1958 Barton Hall record of 2^-7^...The Big Red got back on the winning track with an easy win over Yale, again in Barton Hall, taking first places in all but four events. Predmore set Hall, meet and Cornell records in the 1500 meters (3:^7.83) and Steve Baginski tossed the 35-pound weight 61-85-.. .Next came a meet with Syracuse and Colgate, Cornell's third visit to Manley Field House. Victories two and three were added to the Red's tally, giving Warner and company a final 3-2 indoor dual record. Predmore again was the team's standout, nipping the Orange's Charlie Bevier by two-tenths of a second in the 1500...The return of the indoor Heps to Barton was somewhat disappointing, though certainly not because of any lack of thrilling com- petition. Instead it was the smaller crowd than Cornell had enjoyed in the past and the squad's fourth place finish marred the day for the team. But Cornell was not without its champions. The meet's Outstanding Per- former was none other than "Stan-the-man" Predmore, who shattered the Heps 5000-meter record (1^:18.5) and later staged a tremendous come- Captain Adley Raboy '80 regained his indoor Heps sprint from-behind victory running crown by winning the 55 meters as shown in this photo the anchor leg on the dis- finish. He won the 60-yard dash in the Heps at Barton tance medley relay. Hall in '78 but was edged out in the Dartmouth games Captain Adley Raboy regained the dash title that he lost last year at Dartmouth with, his 55-meter time of 6.1+1. (He won the sprint title two years ago in Barton.) Junior Bob Jones found the groove and leaped to third place in the high jump, clearing 7-0 to improve his own Cornell record. Senior Brad Decker high jumped 6-8 for fifth place and also grabbed a point for fifth in the long jump. Reggie Durden re- corded a personal best in the trials of the 55-meter hurdles (7.68), and went on to third place in the finals. Baginski threw his season's best in the weight throw (63-5-) for fourth place...Cornell mustered eight points at the IC*+As, held at Princeton, thanks to the 3200-meter relay team's third place (7:37.96) and Raboy's and Predmore's sixth places... Freshman Bob Diaz had a sensational rookie Baginski, Cornell's only NCAA qual- campaign and is shown here being edged out ifier (it was his fourth year of by LSU's Mike Quigley in the 800-meter run qualifying), took 11th place at the at Barton Hall. nationals in Detroit. OUTDOOR HIGHLIGHTS — I98O Cornell opened the outdoor season by repaying LSU's winter visit to Ithaca. The competition was stiff at Baton Rouge and Cornell placed fourth of five teams. Predmore picked up where he had left off indoors by taking second in the first steeplechase of his career (9:07.37). The warmer climes of the South also seemed to benefit ace half- miler Jim Draddy, who took fourth in the 800 meters (1:52.88). Kinnier made his season's debut in the intermediate hurdles with a fine third place performance (53.6)... The first week in April saw 35 track and field men journey frcm Ithaca to Richmond, Va., for the Colonial Relays. Baginski was Cornell's top placer, taking second in the ham- mer (187-*+). Draddy anchored the sixth place two-mile relay team with a 1:51.6 split. His brother Vince, a freshman standout at Virginia, ran in the same race but on a dif- ferent leg. On the same weekend, Decker opted to compete in the decathlon at Penn State and was rewarded with first place and a new Cornell record of 6,5*+3 points... The Big Red's only home meet followed a week later when the team crushed Colgate, win- ning all but one event...Next came four straight trips to Philadelphia's Franklin Field. On the first of these trips, the squad lost to arch rival Penn, though several bright spots highlighted the Red's effort, like Baginski's double win in the hammer and discus, Predmore's first sub nine-minute steeplechase and Draddy's quick winning time in the 800 (1:52.0)...Warner split his forces the following week, flying a handful to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa and sending another group to the Penn Relays. The 3200-meter relay team charted the team's best performance at Drake, taking sixth place in 7:31.26 — the best performance in that event since 197*+. (The foursome was Kinnier, McClive, Mike Grogan and Draddy.) In Philadelphia, meanwhile, frosh mid- distanceman Bob Diaz turned in a 1:53.0 split on his leg of the 3200-meter relay, though the quartet did not fare as well overall...Penn used its home field advantage to breeze to an outdoor Heps victory. Cornell had all it could do to place fourth, as injuries racked the team. Raboy had an emergency appendectomy two days before the Heps; Decker wounded his hip one week prior; and Brian Cullinan, last year's sensational javelin thrower, and Jacob Dennis, a top sprinter, suffered season-long ailments and missed the meet. Nevertheless, the Red contingent never said die and, surprisingly, remained in contention much of the way. The outstanding performance of the weekend was turned in by Predmore. He won the 10,000 meters on Friday evening, took third in the steeplechase on Saturday afternoon and came back two hours later to place fourth in the 5000 meters. That's roughly 11.2 miles of racing in two days for 11 points.

  • Review of 2008/09 – Part 1 – End of the Honeymoon
    Review of 2008/09 – Part 1 – End of the honeymoon The 2008/09 squad - Back: Harvey Sharman (head physio), Rui Marques, Ben Parker, Lubo Michalik, David Lucas, Casper Ankergren, Enoch Showunmi, Peter Sweeney, Rob Snodgrass, Andy Beasley (goalkeeping coach) - Middle: Darren Mowbray (video analyst), Neil McDonald (first team coach), Luciano Becchio, Bradley Johnson, Alan Martin, Paul Huntington, Jermaine Beckford, Steve Staunton (assistant manager), Matt Pears (fitness coach), Chris Beasley (kit man) - Front: Alan Sheehan, Jonny Howson, Fabian Delph, Jonathan Douglas, Andy Hughes, Gary McAllister (manager), David Prutton, Frazer Richardson, Andy Robinson, Rob Bayly, Scott Gardner Leeds United supporters were delighted with the appointment of former skipper Gary McAllister as manager in January 2008, welcoming the link with the club’s glorious past after the reign of Dennis Wise. They still passionately resented Ken Bates and his Chelsea connections. The fans were even happier when McAllister inspired enough of a revival for the team to qualify for the Play Offs. It was disappointing to lose the Wembley final, but there was genuine promise at last. After the turmoil of the previous summer, the 2008 close season was in stark contrast an oasis of tranquillity and preparations for the new campaign almost perfect. McAllister persuaded Swansea wide man Andy Robinson to forsake the certainty of Championship football and throw in his lot with Leeds. Leicester left-back Alan Sheehan made a loan move permanent and he was soon joined by Bristol City target man Enoch Showunmi, young Livingstone winger Rob Snodgrass and the Argentinian, Luciano Becchio. The South American striker began his career with Boca Juniors, around the same time as Carlos Tevez, before spells at Barcelona and Mallorca.

  • Giant Puppets Roam the Streets
    When the British motor industry was overseen by ‘The Prince of Darkness’ ~ See page 12 ~ Vol. 30 No. 2 May 2012 CARMAN PHIL Giant Puppets Roam The Streets R Good Weather, Fuel Panic Drive UK Retail Surge WARM WEATHER and a spate of panic-buying for car fuel caused retail sales in Britain to surge by 1.8 percent in March compared with a month earlier, official data showed last month. The figures released by the Office for National Statistics were well ahead of the market consensus of 0.5 percent growth. They contrasted with a drop of 0.7 percent in February, and encouraged hope that Britain’s economy returned to growth in the first quarter of the year. Government warnings to prepare for a possible strike by tanker drivers set off a wave of panic buying of petrol, contrib- uting to a 4.9 percent gain in petrol sales Continued on page 4 R Inflation Rises For First Time In Six Months INCREASES in the price of food and clothing pushed inflation in Britain to 3.5 percent in March, the first increase in the annual rate in six months, official figures showed last month. The Office for National Statistics said the rate was up from February’s 3.4 percent – still far above the Bank of Eng- land’s official target of two percent. Analysts, however, said the inflation rate, which had been falling steadily from a peak of 5.2 percent in September, is likely to soon resume its decline. “This should be only temporary,” said Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics.

  • Bayern Learning from City Defeat
    SPORTS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2013 SPL PREVIEW Photo of the day Celtic desperate for striking impact GLASGOW: Kris Commons says Celtic are in need of a top quality striker after the Scottish champions crashed out of Europe following a record 6-1 defeat by Barcelona on Wednesday. The Hoops have been dominant domestically-scoring 12 in their past two matches-as they have made an unbeaten start to the defense of their title. However, the Parkhead club’s form in Europe has been less impressive with Neil Lennon’s side finishing bottom of Group H with just three points-their lowest ever tally in the Champions League. Celtic are runaway leaders in the Scottish Premiership and have found the net 35 times in 14 matches but Georgios Samaras’ consola- tion goal in the Nou Camp was just their third in six Champions League matches. Commons, who is Celtic’s top scorer with 12, says the Hoops are paying the price for not replacing striker Gary Hooper. Hooper scored 31 times last season as Celtic claimed a double before his transfer to Norwich while summer signings Amido Balde and Teemu Pukki have failed to make much of an impression. And as Celtic prepare to take on Hibernian at Parkhead today Commons says his side need to begin rebuilding for next season by bringing in a top quality striker to take the pressure off the midfield- ers. “I think when you are relying on people, midfield quality to get you goals then once they dry up you are looking for a striker,” Commons said.
