Georgetown's hopes for VIC
tory in the indoor intercol-
legiate track and field cham
pionships Saturday in New
York are centered on Leo Sex
ton, Dave Adelman and Karl
'Wildermuth.
This does not Indicate that the
one.mile or two.mile relay teams or
other individual Hilltop entrants are
to be discounted. but Sexton, Adel'
man and Wildermuth are looked
upon to come through with a mini
mum of Ia points while their maxi
mum may total % points.
Sexton Is entered in the htgh'
fump, 35-lb. weight and 16-pound
shot. He should place in every event
and take first honors in the high
iump. although he Is not reaching
the heighth he scaled in practice.
This is attributed to a strained
muscle contracted several weeks ago.
@i However. he got beyond six
feet, one inch In the high-1ump

and showed the shOt-put over az
feet. Duplication of these per-
. fOrmanCes ought to place him IN
sthe finishing division.
Adelman, intercollegiate indoor 16-
ypound shot record and titleholder, is
figured to retain his mantle. He in
tends to ''break" so feet, which
would safely give him first place.
His most feared competitors are MS
teammates, Sexton, and Barney Ber'
Nnger, Penn's all-around sophomore
flash. AdelmaI1 is also to compete IN
the 35.pound weight heaving Joust
and has surpassed 48 feet.
Karl Wildermuth is expected to
score in the 70-yard sprint and will
he the most serious rival for Jimmy
Daley, defending champion from
Holy Cross. The Hilltop speed
merchant, as well as Sexton, may
tSke a fling at the broad jump.
GEORGETOWN would have won the
meet last year had Wildermuth been
allowed TO compete in the broad
jump. but Coach O'Reilly saved him
for the Olympics.
9 Having an off year, Eddie Hoctor,
flashy quarter-miler, will not run
O. leg on the varsity One-2nile team
Up until this year, Hoctor had only
been beaten but once when starting
from scratch with another runner
ins a relay. That took place when
Ray Barbuti, national and Olympic
quarter-mile czar, turned the 44O
yards in AZ seconds
Coach O'Re1ly held hopes
that he would regain his old
form, but HOctSr h hardly do

ties are puzzled as to his down.

were never worried when an

Although sick abed with a heavy
cold, O'Reilly announced this morn
ing that the varsity one-mile four
would constitute Capt Eddie O'Shea,
John Cranley, Clarion Gosh and
Bob Shotter and that the two-mile
club would include Jerry German,
John Carney, Larry Milstead and
Jay Julicher. The freshmen med
ley team will compose Arthur Briggs
running the 220 yards, Charles Car
lin the 440 yards, Jack Mara the
$50 yards and Jimmy Kelley the
mile.
Kelley, who starred for Dewitt
Prep last year, lost out to Mara
for the half-mile position and then
decided to try for the mile berth
formerly held by Jimmy Kennedy,
who is ineligible because of studies.
Kelley won cut after a bitter bat.
