Brunelle Picks Heinicke To Win

(Editors's note: This is the first in a series of article in which major contenders weight their chances of victory in the approaching Boston A. A. Marathon.)
 By Andre BruneIle :, Written for the United States) . Medford, Mass, April 3.-CUP) - Young Don Heinicke of Balti- more, Md, is my choice to win the Boston A. A. marathon on April 19. He turned in great performance last year, finishing second in his first attempt over this tough course.
 I think that Gerard Cote of St. Hyacinthe, Juebec, and Leslie Paw son of Pawtucket, R. l., a former winner, will press Heinicke and be in a position to take command if he Weakens. s
 All I need is warm day to turn in my best performance to date in the B.A.A. I have competed in this grind eight times. Last year when I was 10th was my best showing. One man that should not be overlooked in this race is George Drrgin of the B.A.A.
 Since the first of February, have been training faithfully for this years race. I cover the full mara thon distance of 26 miles and 385 yards once week and on the other days I walk anywhere from five to IS miles.
 I was born in Canada 38 years ago of French parents. I weigh 13O pounds and stand feet T inches. am married and work in nearby Somerville.
