 New York, Feb, 2i-tuP) Glenn Cunningham, mile specialist who "'. allses today he Is inferior ct . lesser distance, will step out of his class again March { to meet Don Lash at two miles in the foot-racing feature of the Indoor track season.
 Invincible at c mile, Cunningham sought competition at 1000 yards and found too much of it in Johnny Boriean, mlddle-distanc sensation of the year, in tho main attraction of the Seton Hall games at Newark last night. Borican, lanky Elberon, N. J, negro, scored his eighth vic. tory in 10 starts.
 The Cunningham Lash meeting, e special feature Of the I. c, 4-A games at Madison Square Garden, threatens to steal tomo of the spotlight from tho National A, A. U. indoor cham pionships at the Garden Saturday night. The race will send the hoid- CTS Of the world indoor mile and two mile records against each other ct Q distance favoring Lash,
 It is c test that track fans have been talking about for several sea- sons, but the promoters couldn't get Cunningham to sign for the longer haul. Frequently Lash has cut his speciality in half to try and give Cunningham c race, but SO far has been unable to gain victory.
 Good Records
 Lash, who formerly held the out- door record at two miles, set the indoor standard ct e;b8 at Boston in io37. Cunningham, ex.holder of the outdoor mile mark, boasts m ii,s door achievement that betters tho present outdoor record, dlenn's 4;04. over the Dartmouth boards last season was the fastest mile ever run by man and compares with the 4;06.4 registered by Sydney Wooder' son of Great Britain last summer.
 Cunningham last ran two miles In Q Canadian meet several years ago when he was clocked in the unusual figures of five minutes for the first mile and 4:2b for the second Before no graduated from the University of Kansas, Glenn scored q triple" in 6 Big Six meet, winning the two mile in e:48.9, the mile in 4;ie'4 and the half.mile in i;b2,2 on the same afternoon.
 Glenn also holds the world indoor record at 1000 yards, the distance at which he was outclasSed by Bofi. can last night, His e.scarred legs carried him to Q i:i0,i record in March, ie36, but with no special training for less than q mile, Glenn trailed Borican last night by five yards. The Jersey negro broke the tape in 2:i4.3, 6 record for the fiat track Of Newark armory. It was Cunninghams first defeat ct any dis. tance in eight starts this season. He had won six straight mile races, and one ct 800 meters.
 Experiment
 Lash took . beating in his own two-mile backyard last night, but most observers believed he was ex- perimenting with the last lap kick maneuver that enabled him to win the N. Y. A. c. title last week. Little Tommy Deckard, former University Of Indiana running mate of Lash. popped into the lead with half mile to 90 and Don's bell-lap spring was not enough to close the huge gap. Don had hard run on his hands to keep Joe McCluskey, N. Y. A. O. veteran, out Of second place. Deckard's time of e:ib.2 was more than six seconds slower than Lash's time in taking the ". Y. A. c. title.
 In other Seton Hall features, Phil Graves, N. Y. A. O., won the mile run in 4;i88 and Wesley Wallace, Fordham, won the 000.yard event jn
