Cross Country Delays Hit Corry Area High School Track Plans
Corry Area High School faces a stalled cross country program as the district grapples with building interest and board delays. Head coach Max Bennink notes rivals have junior high tracks, while Corry lacks a program, hindering both distance and sprint development. The piece highlights potential gains from fall cross country and mentions Fred Corbett’s early national freshman shot put mark, plus coaching moves and local track intentions.
Bob Harkey to Speak at Corry Area High School
Indy 500 driver Bob Harkey, who placed eighth in his first race, will address Corry Area High School students tomorrow. He is part of a ten-driver safety program touring the nation, which has reached over a million students since 194. The program has earned multiple public service awards including the Sloan Jr Award in 1964. Harkey began NASCAR racing in 1948, won the midget title in 1957, and later joined USAC racing. He qualified for the 1963 Indianapolis event and raced in 1964, finishing eighth after starting 27th. He qualified for the 1967 race but was bumped on the final day.

Bunning Poised To Lift Pirates From Sixth Place Hopes
PORT MYERS Fla AP Hin Bunning is the man expected to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates out of a wilderness of sixth place and make them a pennant factor after last season’s disappointment. Larry Shepard, new manager and former Phillies pitching coach, aims to mold stars like Bunning Wills and Clemente into a cohesive unit, easing pitching woes. Veale May Sisk Blass Al McBean loom as the rotation. Mazeroski Alley face injuries as Wills shifts to short and Pagan to third. Donn Clendenon hits a homer as Stargell roams left and Clemente stars in right with Alou Mota platooning in center. May catcher duties remain unsettled behind Jerry May.
