years in track are ahead Of me. I

Cards to lead and Ed L.esniewski,
Leo Wall and John Corbett held it
to win by Is yards, despite the fact

running his 220-yard leg.
Emerging from the pack in the
final two laps after allowing Charley

until the final turn Of the last lap,
when Bova Of Seton Hall and Brown
Of Villanova sprinted into the
sharply banked turn shoulder to-
shoulder.
They collided is yards from the
tape, both sprawiing to the door, but
Brown recovered and won. Bova,
who would have taken second place
for Villanova, dashed to the finish
line, bat threw his baton to the
track, disgusted before he reached
there, disQualifying his team and
