 Track and Field
BY PAUL SHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

New York. March 6-(UP)-Three champions -- Walter N..ahl, Les Mac- Mitchell and Al Blozis- to-day topped the star-studded field scheduled to participate in the 20th annual Knights of Columbus games Satllr- day night in Madison Square Gar den.
 The presence of Mehl and Mac. Mitchell--the seasons two ranking milers--at the top of the field oc- casionS little surprise but it's been a long time since a Shotputter of Blozis' remarkable talents has come along to challenge the runners as @ first-rate champion.
 The Georgetown husky has con. sistently cracked world standards with the 16-pound ball. His latest ef. fort--56 feet 6 inches for 8 new world indoor mark--in last Satur- days IC4A meet, put him just six inches away from ranking as the worlds greatest shotputter.
 Blozis' heave was shaken loose as the championships opened in the afternoon and is topped only by the 57 feet 1 inch mark that Jack Tor rance installed in the record books at Oslo, Norway, in 1884.
 Mehl was inactive in the IC4A but MacMitchell won the mile over IS other starters in 4:l2 to erase the meet mark of 4:l2.2 established by Pen Halloway of Harvard in 1892.
 Two For Dartmouth
 Other winners included John Campbell, Tordham. 600 yards In HAP; Mike Prohodsky. Northwest ern, two miles in 9:37.6; Walter Cary, Fordham. 1000 yards in 2:l5.4: Hal Stickel, Pitt. 60-yard dash in 6.3; Ed Dugger. Tufts. 60-yard high hurdles in "A and Don Blount. Dart mouth, who scored the evenings only double by winning the high jump with feet 5 5-8 inches and the broad jump with 23 feet 9 3-4 inches.
 There was flve-way tie in the pole vault at l3 feet among Doyle Rhodes, Pitt: Warren Broemel. Col. umbia Charles Martin. Manhattan; Ed Macomber, Yale; and Frank Cromwell, Rhdoe Island State. Ford ham replaced New York University as the team champion with 25 l-4 points.
 Chief interest catcher in the K. of c. meet which ends the Metropoli. tan indoor season Saturday is the ehl-MacMitchell rubber run at the mile. Each has beaten the other three times and this will be the seventh and last battle.
 Even that attraction and the prob- ability of a record Blozis' pitch has failed to overshadow the rest of a stellar program which should bring the Garden throng to 16,00O.
 Two Mile Event
 Greg Rice. who won eight in row this season and cracked the world indoor two-mile and three mile records in his last two starts, runs against Mel Fruit in the two- mile. Fruit is the only Rice challeng- CT who has bettered nine minutes this season.
