Z
ing new cloak of Importance and
an air of downright cockiness,
Washington's expeditionary forces
to the 46th annual Penn relays
stepped up to the starting line this
afternoon bent on adding to an
already generous collection OF
trophies.
Six events attracted athletes from
Georgetown, Maryland, Catholic
University and American University
and the Terps also had roofing
interest in the javelin throw, In
which Bill Guckeyson. Maryland
alumnus and now West Pointer,
was to try his hand.
Sharing interest with the mile
college relay championship of Amer
lea. which has drawn crack teams
from New York Universlty-a ter
rife disappointment yesterday
Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Ohio State,
Fordham and others, is the invita-
tional mile run, involving Chuck
Fenske, mile champion of the last
indoor season; Gene Venzke and
Walter Mehl.
Central Overshadowed.
Also on the premises and anxious
to tear the turf in bid for national
recognition is Central High Schools
mile quartet, which arrived last
night with Coach Hardy Pearce.
The Vikings will have their fling in
the high school championship OF
America run, a race crammed with
top-notch talent. so formidable that
Central appears to be in over its
head.
There is a possibility, too, that
George Began of Georgetown will
get belated bid to run in the invi-
rational century, although he was
not listed on the program released
yesterday.
Georgetown will send mile varsity
and freshmen teams postWard, but
''Swede" Eppley. Maryland coach, is
undecided about his teams pro-
gram. The Terps already have
scratched out of the half-mile relay
because of the absence of Joe
Murphy and Ken Barnes, crack
sprinters, who were too far off form
to make the trip, but still are entered
in the 2 and mile runs.
Eppley is expected to make bid
for the long distance laurels and
may send his iron-man squad back
for the killing 2-mile grind if the
boys don't show too much wear and
tear. Most observers believe Mary
land has better chance of winning
the shorter race, but the Terps-
Jimmy Kehoe, Mason Chronister,
Tommy Fields and Allan Miller
want to run both races and think
they can win both,
Strong Favorites.
Off the form they displayed yes
terday in galloping away from their
field in the distance medley. the
Terps will be strong favorites in
the 2-mile jaunt even if Eppley does
revamp the team.
Gene Ochsenreiter may replace
Tommy Fields in the group, al
though it is hard to count out
Tommy after his brilliant running
yesterday. Ochsenrieter, however, is
sterling half-miler and probably
would fit in better than Fields, who
does his best work at 2 miles.
Hap" Hardell will use most of
the same squad that came within
yard of capturing the sprint med
ley championship yesterday-Morty
Alnwick, George Tucknott, Vincent
Braun and Ken Lyden. He has Jim
Motzenberger and Charley Williams
in reserve.
While the Hoya coach processes
to be quite satisfied with the team
second place in the sprint medley,
from the press box it seemed George
town could-and should have-Won
the race. Lyden, opening up with
his finishing kick, was fouled by Ed
Burrowes of Princeton and knocked
off stride. He stepped over the
curbing onto the infield grass,
stumbled but regained his balance,
got back on the track and still had
enough "putsch" left to take sec
ond. Without interference he would
have won.
G. U. Makes No Protest.
1t appeared to be a foul, but es-
capped the officials eyes and George
town made no protest, so Princeton
was adiudged the winner. Lyden
had a fight on his hands from the
moment he took the baton from
Tucknott. He was boxed in on the
first four turns, then carried wide
by Bryant of Texas State on the
next three. Bryant, leading the
pack into the home stretch, went
wide on the last turn and Burrowes
cut inside to the rail. Lyden, right
on his heels, tried to go inside the
Tiger anchorman and was bumped
out of bounds.
Bogan's 220-yard leg in the race
was disappointing He stopped
almost within arms length of Lyden
and the loss of that split second
sent Ken off in the wake of the
field What happened George can't
explain, but that lapse may have
been the turning point of the race.
Maryland had an Unexpectedly
easy time in the distance medley
when Hal Bogrow, leading off TOR
the Violet in the 440 leg, dropped
the baton on the back stretch and
lost about 25 yards. Allen Miller,
Terp lead-of man, started from
the extreme outside, but crossed over
to the rail in the first 20 yards and
sent Jim Kehoe off on his 88O-yard
leg with few yards to spare.
Duel Falls Flat.
Most of the 5000 fans present
keenly anticipated a duel between
Kehoe and Jim Herbert, New York
University ace, and were audibly
disappointed when the latter was
unable to project himself back into
the running. Kehoe, moving as
swiftly and easily as a summer
breeze, opened up more ground be-
tween himself and his pursuers. and
Fields duplicated the feat. When
Mason Chronister took the baton
