Pretty much of ragged, dirty
necked intruder at previous Penn
relay games, Metropolitan Washing
tons delegation to this years big
hooflng party on April 26 and q
is going in the role of honored
guests, favorite sons or something
equally distinctive and affectionate.
The reason is simple enough because
some of the brightest fireworks
touched off the two days the boys
are churning the cinders around
Franklin Field will be the handiwork
of men from this area.
Already the games Publicity Com
mittee is dwelling on the merits of
Al Blozis, Georgetowns towering
hot-putter, and wondering If he'll
smash the outdoor record as easily
as he chucked the indoor mark into
the discard. And it's beginning to
wonder if Maryland's crack two
mile relay team will shatter the To-
year-old mark held by Georgetown.
New records are likely in both
events.
Hap" Hardell, Hoya coach, dis
avows any intention of molding
Blozis into a decathlon or pentath-
Ion performer, although all indica-
tions point in this direction.
Will Stress Shot, Discus.
"Als going to stick to the shot
and discus in our major meets. In
less important ones he may high
jump. He'll do about feet, and
that's enough to win lots of dual
meets, but we're not going to over
work him or try to put him in
everything on the program. Throw
ing the javelin requires an entirely
different action than putting the
shot or throwing the discus, so
he's giving up the javelin to con-
centrate on the latter two. We're
not trying to make a superman
out OF Blozis. If he continues to
win the shot, thatu be plenty, and
he definitely isn't going to run,
broad-jump or throw the jajvelin.
That's asking too much of one man"
Georgetown will have mile, sprint
medley and freshman mile relay
teams in the games and no other
entries. The first will be comprised
of Morty Alnwick, Ken Lyden, Bill
Williams, Winnie Braun or George
Tucknott. The same group, with
George Began replacing Tucmott,
will make up the sprint group.
Hardell will pick his freshman
team from Pete McAtee, Jim Fish,
Johnny Doolin, Phil Graves and Jim
Hickey.
Record for Terps Likely.
Maryland, regarded as almost
certainty to lower the 2-mile stand
ard, will enter four and possibly
five relay events. The fifth would
be a 4-mile stick-passing test, but
Geary Eppley isn't certain he'll
have a quartet in the longest run.
Joe Murphy also is in the 100
yard invitation.
The mile team will be comprised
OF Murphy, Vernon Miller, Gene
Ochsenreiter and Alan Miller, with
Jack Warfield as alternate. This is
the team that chalked up a new
record in capturing the Glass B.
crown last spring. Alan Miller, who
Will compete in everything but the
4-mlle Jaunt, will team with Tom
my Fields, Mason Chronister and
jim Kehoe In the 2-mile event.
He'll run the opening quarter in
The sprint medley with Ken Barnes
and Joe Murphy following in the
22O-yard sprints and Kehoe finish
ing the grind with a half-mile run.
Alan will lead off with a quarter
IN the distance medley. Kehoe's
half mile, Fields three-quarters and
Chronister's mile will complete the
race.
Big Bid in Two Miles.
IT the foregoing events don't drain
too much speed or stamina from
representatives, Eppley
undoubtedly will try for the 4-mile
crown, with Bob Condor, Fields,
kehoe and Chronister carrying the
baton. But the Terps' supreme ef-
fort will be in the 2-miIe hike, be-
cause with a wealth of half-milers
available it has better than an even
chance of lowering the long-stand-
ing figures.
Victor in the Glass B mile last
year, Maryland also has a good
chance to cop major honors next
week, but the track dopesters feel
hat it is stronger over the longer
route and that Eppley will concen-
trate on that event.
Gene Fields will be back to coach
George Washington's line next au-
tumn, barring unforeseen develop
ments along the business front. Mr..
Fields is a logging contractor in his
native Oregon, but labor and busi-
ness conditions being what they are
would rather coach football. He'll
be back.
Koch Finds Real Job.
Bill Reinhart, head man at the
downtown school, has a letter from
"Botchy" Koch, who resigned to
accept a coaching berth at Tulsa,
which reveals that life in Washing
ton wasn't so bad after all. "Botchy,"
after putting in three long, pains
taking years at G. w., left just as
he was getting to the point where
he wouldn't have to worry too much
about the line and at Tulsa he's
got to begin from the bottom. And
all this with Texas A. and M. second
on the 10-game schedule and Tulsa
demanding a winning
team.
Reinhart, incidentally, will leave
soon on combined scouting tour
and vacation. He wants to 60 to
the coast for bit of fishing and
will be glad to interview any promis-
