Michigan Normal
Wins Medley and
Two-Mile Relayc
Hurdles Titles Are
Defended by Had;
Lucarelli Triumphs

Michigan Normal's track hordes
converted the twenty-trst annual
Michigan State College indoor car
nival into a one-team exhibition
Friday night by capturing seven
events and tying for first In an
other at Jenison Field House. East
Lansing.
II a team championship was
awarded in the carnival, Michigan
Normal certainly would have won
by an overwhelming margin.
Michigan State gained only three
victories, Wayne two and Western
State Teachers one.
Led by the invincible Whitley
Had, the Hurons came out on front
in six individual events and two
relays. Had successfully defend
ed his 75.yard high and low hurdles
titles in easy fashion. He was not
pressed in either race.
Eugene Lucarelli, versatile jun
ior, produced the top surprise In
the meet by winning the high jump.
Lucarelli leaped feet los inches
to outclass a mediocre field. Ronnie
Clark was one OF five men who tied
for second place in the event.
Lucarelli's performance, comb,n.
ed with that of Ted Webb in the
pole vault. highly gratified Coach
I InUA w nldg NNnhh fta1 Tod
Wonch. OF Michigan State, for first
place at a height of 10 feet. This
is Webb's best record in the vault.
Sprinting past AL Mangan, Of
Michigan State, In thu last 200
yards, Bob Lee swept through the
two-mile in nine minutes so sec
oDds. Lee led Mangan most Of
the way but allowed the Spartan
runner to carry the pace when the
mile and three quarters mark was
reached. Lees gunlap kick was
much too strong for Mangan, and
he finished on top by 15.yard mar
gin.
Eddie Rosenzweig completed the
roster OF Huron special event W n
ners by carrying off shot put laurels
with toss OF "A feet inches.
The victory was costly, for Rosenz-
weig tore a back muscle In his pre-
liminary warmup.
Michigan Normal also chalked up
triumphs in the two-mile and med.
ley relays. Times in both races
were exceptionally slow because
the Hurons had practically no COM
petition from its opponents.
Tho two-mile relay, for example,
was clicked in 8:lS.3, over 20 sec
onds behind the 1853 turned in
last year. Although Joe Brzezinski
cruised the third leg in 1:5s.s,
Capt. Tommy Quinn, running the
anchor half-mile, saw that Normal
held a commanding lead and was
content to loaf the distance.
The medley relay was similar.
Clark ran a dead heat on the initial
quarter-mile, but Don Jones pulled
away to a three-yard margin on
the 220. Duane Temper gained 81
yards on his half-mile stretch, and
Quinn concluded with a 1919 mile.
Presumably, Quinn could have cut
nearly 20 seconds of his clocking
had he desired.
Michigan Normal placed fourth
In the 440 and mile relays.
