die Shields. the former Mercersburg
Academy swimmer and track star. Penn

swimming season. Starting with an easy
victory over the City College of New

in shape for the dual meet with Column

Shields holds the 22O yards intercol-
legiate championship and is also a star
in the century. He probably was bet
ter known as a track phenom before
he entered the university, having
broken several American schoolboy dis
lance records. Eddie has continued his
track work under Lawson Robertson,
but so far has proven better tankman
than athlete. He is a brother of Larry
Shields, the former Penn State distance
star.
