One of the brightest clusters OF
track stars to appear in Baltimore
will compete in the University OF
Maryland-5th Regiment games to-
night in the latter's big armory and
their combined efforts are expected
to stand out like double -barreled ro-
man candles In the midst Of a we'll
balanced program.
Sharing the brightest beam OF the
spotlight will be three world record
makers, Fred Wolcott of Rice, hurdle
specialist; Earle Meadows, the hu-
man -the-boX whose strong
sit is pole-vaulting, and our own
AL Blczcis, the shotput champion.
These three top the field, but
yCu can't overlook the old war horse,
Joe McCluskey. who plans to dou-
BILE up in the 2-mile and mile runs;
Don Lash. the galloping State
policeman from Indiana, and Jim
Kehoe, the Maryland born and bred
middle distance star. These names
add up to a Six-star show on any
floor at any time.
BIozis Going After Record.
Wolcott, Rice Institute senior,
Is the hottest gentlemen in the
timber-topping department this win
ter, as his recent record-smashing
spree eloquently atteStS. He erased
the old marks in the 40, so and so
yard hurdles this winter and has
his eye on the 70-yard mark held
by Al Tolmich. Al negotiated the
barriers in 0:086 seconds and VOL
colt figures to better this time espe-
cially if Tom Todd. the Virginia
delegate, gives him some competi-
tion,
Blozis chucked the shot Sc feet 6
inches last week in the I. G. "A.
games at New York for new in
door world record, but Dan Fer
ris, secretary of the National A. A.
u, allows as how the mark will not
be allowed because Al used an ordi-
nary brass ball instead of the regula-
ton indoor leather-covered sphere.
1t made no difference to Al, how
ever, for he expects to break the
A. A. U. mark tonight.
He'll get the A. A. U. record and
all the rest of them the next time
he throws" commented Hap Har-
dell, Georgetown coach, so we're
not unduly concerned by Ferris
statement. After all, Al used the
ball the I. c. "A. handed him
not one we supplied. Watch him
In the Maryland-5th Regiment
games"
Pole Vault Should Thrill.
Meadows, who has perched him
self atop a bamboo pole and scared
IA feet 67s inches over the cross
bar, figures to be the best in this
division, but isn't certain of victory
with Dick Ganslen of the Shore
A. C. and Defending Champion
Howard Jensen in competition.
Ganslen did IA feet inches couple
of weeks ago and Jensen goes over
consistently at IA feet.
Kehoe will be meeting up with
some old and ardent rivals in the
featured "Oriole 600," which shapes
up as one of the evenings outStand-
ing events. Sanford Goldberg, New
Yorks flying fireman; Charley
Beetham, winner in 1888 and holder
of the current record of 1:22.7 for
the event; Davis Bunting OF Navy
and Dave Morrison of North Caro-
lima have been listed to oppose him,
and it figures to be anybody's race.
Tom Fields, Maryland's rapidly
improving star, will try to enhance
his reputation at the expense OF a
small but select field in the Gov
ernor-s mile. Jack Milne, North
Carolina freshman, and Eddie Nor
gan of the Penn A. G. are certain 10
oppose him and there is a chance
NcCluSkev will try his legs for the
secono time in this race.
Hoyas Have Many Entrants.
GEORGETOWN will have % men in
all in the meet. including its varsity
and frosh relay teams: Catholic U.
will strive to regain its Mason-Dixon
half-mlle relay crown and gather
some individual laurels; North Caro-
lina's Southern Conference title
team will be conspicuous from start
to finish; Duke, Virginia, William
and Mary, Washington and Lee.
Richmond and others will be well
represented in the collegiate and A.
A. U. sections. Tom Todd, Virginia
hurdler, should be the one to press
Wolcott.
Three Washington high schools
Tech. Central and Roosevelt-will be
in action with relays and individual
s.ars. Eddie Barham, Tech high
;-mrcr. is the defending scholastic
c,'7mp:On.
There are enough well-filled events
II keep IN a red-hot scholastic
rivalry and the points are sure to be
50 we'll scattered that any one OF 10
teams could win. Tech has the best
chance of the local trio.
Trials start at 6 o'clock, with the
program of II individual finals and
the 9 relay races getting under way
two hours later.
A varsity mile relay race featuring
GEORGETOWN, Maryland, North Caro-
lima and Catholic University Will
