Sparkling Relay Program.
Both collegiate and A. A. u. sprints
have attracted large and capable

enough excitement to satisfy the
most avid appetite for action. Morty

co-holder with Norman Baetjer Of
Hopkins Of the A. A. U. record,
moves into the collegiate field this
time and has an excellent chance
of picking up all the marbles.

relay events with Georgetown. Mary

in one bracket; Navy, Washington
and Lee and Weschester Teachers

choose his team from Johnny Mot
zenbecker, Ken Lyden, Morty AIN

liams and George Tucknott.
Both Maryland and Carolina, how
ever, have potent delegations en-
tered and can't be dismissed with
a light shrug of the shoulders. The

ter and Bob Condor available, and
whichever team Coach Geary Ep-
pley nominates will give the Hoyas a
run for it. North Carolina's list in
