NEW YORK, May 3l.-Shut out in
the $50 and 220 yard races, George
town today sent three men into the
finals of the 65th annual I. c. "A
track and field championships at
Triborough Stadium as New York
University prepared to take over
Pittsburgh's role of champion.
Al Blozis, who pitched the shot
within q of an inch of the meet
record of SO feet ga ilnches he
established last year. led the Hoyas
by virtually clinching this event and
pacing the field in the discus throw
Jack Doolan edged into the century
semif1nals by running second to Penn
States Barney Ewell in his heat and
Morty Alnwick gained the $40 final
by running second to N. Y us
Harold BogroW, the favorite.
Ken Lyden, slim-hipped Hoya
half-miler, was the lone Capital
entry dropped into the discard
Third in the $50 last year, Lyden
ran himself into a state of near
y
where he gave up the chase.
Georgetown was expected to better
It's score of last year when it &C
cumulated Is, thanks to BloZis' twin
victories, and tied for sixth place
with Tufts.
Pitts Sprinters Go Lame.
Pitt, which won the team cham
pionship last year without scoring
first, saw its hopes of repeating go
glimmering when its two crack
sprinters, Bill Carter and Harold
Stickel, pulled up lame. The Pan
theirs were counting on a windfall of
Is points from their combined eff
forts, but it was doubtful if either
would go to the starting line today.
Carter, who went into action with
IN ailing muscle, limped into a quail
Tying position in the 100-yard semi
finals, but pulled up lame in the 220
and also was shut out in the broad
jump. Stickel, who was runnerup to
Ewell in the 100 last year, barely
qualified in his heat over that dis
tance, but came back strong to win
his test in the 220 low hurdles. He
tried the 220 fiat and pulled up lame
almost at the Identical spot where
Carter was stricken.
While Pitt was going down under
this miserable wave of affection,
New York University's Violets were
enjoying a field day to qualify II,
with young Les MacMitchell setting
brisk pace. The 20-year-old
youngster turned in a 1:54.8 half
mile without being pressed to
establish himself top-heavy favor

for 10 points in this race and in the

who measure up to his stature.

Bolstering New York's title hopes
was the unexpected discus perform
ance of Leonard Bates, strapping
Negro football player, who bettered
his own previous best effort with a
heave of 149 feet II inches, to gain
the third qualifying position. The
Violet had not counted on scoring
In the field events and the two or
three points Bates seems certain to
pick up will be pure velvet.
BogroWs time in the quarter was
third best of the heats and bril-
liant duel was expected in today's
finale after the 487 turned in by
AL Diebolt of Colgate and 489 reg
istered by Johnny Campbell of
Fordham. Bogrow's 496 was $40 of
a second better than teammate
George Hagan did in winning the
fourth heat, but both almost are
certain to add valuable points to
the team total.
Ewell Lone Triple Qualifier.
Ewell was the days lone triple
qualified. He won the sprints hands
down, but barely squeezed into the
broad jump final with a leap of %
feet, 77s inches. Blozis and Ed
Digger, Tufts Negro hurdler star,
were the only other doubles winners.
New York U. had three qualifiers
in the sprints in Jared Fangboner,
Dave Lawyer and Frank Remy, and
while none expected to do better
than third. their place points would
weigh heavily in the final outcome.
Sixteen finals were to be contested
today in addition to a special q
mile jaunt featuring Greg Rice,
champion at the distance.
Don Blount, Dartmouth senior
competing in his first and last I. C.
"A. games, was shooting for a
double in the high and broad jumps,
a feat not accomplished since 1897
when J. P. Conover of Columbia
took both for the second consecutive
year.
Ewell faced stiff competition in
