ACES
PREDOMINANT IN
SCHEDULE DRIVE
BY CHICK KENNY

If scholastic past performance!
mean anything, then Georgetown
University has a glittering array
of track stars for indoor track com
petition the next two months who
should prove their weight in vic
tories.
The Hoyas are busy whipping
themselves into condition arouno
the Hilltopper gym daily under
the guidance of that veteran
coach, Jim Mulligan. Most of the
stars are freshmen, but their
scrapbooks as preparatory athletes
speak for themselves.
It's hard to know where to be,
gin. But let's start right down
the line, reading from left to right.
First there is Vincent Carneval.
sterling performer who has al
ready carried the Blue and Gray
to points this season. He ran Sec
ond in the I C "A freshman cross
country grind in New York last
November and looms a decided
threat in future hill-and-dale
events, as we'll as the longer runs
in invitation meets. Watch him.
Then there is George Tuchnott,
former De La Sale High School
ace, who holds the worlds record
for the scholastic indoor mile at
APO, a noteworthy performance
that bids fair to be bettered under
the tutelage of Mulligan. In open
events this winter, George should
prove a strong favorite. And that
isn't all. There's youngster
named Diehl from Masontown,
Pa, who last year copped the
w. P. 1. A. L. high hurdle crown
with a :15.5 record. Tie that one
if you can.
Jimmy Carr, of st. Benedict'S
Prep of Newark, N. j., holds the
Catholic High School half-mile
title, while another lad, Ken Lay
don, is the New York metropolitan
half-mile champ. Jimmy Callista
is one of the best Of the lot. He
comes from Erie, Pa, and last year
dashed the century in :O9.4.
That's correct, :09.4.
This group, with six veterans,
round out very interesting squad
for Georgetown this winter. The
vets include Mort Alnwick, John
Motzenbecker, Al Fry, Vincent
Healey, captain of the team;
Charley Neumeyer and Vincent
Braun.
A seventh member Of last years
team, Stewart Reeves, who COM
peted in the quarter and half
mile events. withdrew from the
Hilltop when Cupid passed him
on the turn. Yep, he got married.
A fine schedule has been
mapped out for Mulligan's troops.
Competition starts February 4,
with the team entered in the Mil
rose Games in New York. Seven
indoor meets altogether have been
lined up for the Hilltoppers. cul-
minating with the K. of c. games

Relays and Intercollegiate. These
meets are carded with the Univer-
