George F. Began of the Wash

athlete in The Evening Star games
next Saturday in Byrd Stadium with
two titles to defend. and he may
produce the punch of the show.

the century in 0:98 and the 220 in

Began, in the course of tough
school schedule, has trained spas
medically, but he appeared in good
shape yesterday matching sprint

Georgetown, who will represent the
Blue and Gray in the 100, 220 and

heavy odds in favor of Alnwick win

Began seems determined it won't
be in the century nor furlong and
