PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-Al-
though unlikely to mop up as they
did last year, when Maryland's relay
teams and Georgetown's Al Blozis
played leading roles in the Penn
relays, Washington's collegiate and
scholastic athletes were poised today
for 1941 tests as Philadelphia an
nual track classic moved into its
final and most important day.
While Duke and New York Uni
versity dominated the show yester-
day, District athletes accomplished
little, although Catholic University's
Johnny Corbett ran an impressive

Indiana's Fred Wilt, who didn't, and
Ashland Colleges Bill Dodds.
Corbett, running in a field of 48,
wasn't close to the winner, but he
crossed the finish line strongly and
his performance was especially COM
mendable in view of the fact that
Wilt, negotiated the distance in
9:176, broke 20-year-old Penn
relay record for the distance. He
took nearly five seconds off the pre-
vious mark, which was made by R.
B. Buker of Bates in 1921.

DES MONIES, Iowa, April 26.-
You could be mighty proud man
around this town today If you had
a Southern drawl.
Emphasis definitely was on the
boys from the South and Southwest
as stellar group of track and field
stars prepared for a climatic finish
to the 32d annual Drake relays to-
day.
Six new carnival records, includ-
ing an American mark in the sprint
medley, were booked as a result of
stunning performances in the OPEN
ing day of the classic yesterday and
additional changes in record listings
we're anticipated today.
Two new marks were posted by
sun-tanned lads from Texas. Lone
Star State athletes also tied another
Drake record.
A quartet of University of Texas
printers-Morris Barefield, Billy
Seay, Freddie Ramsdell and Mac
Umstattd-did the record job in the
sprint medley, combining their
speed over the 44O, 220, 220 and $50
yard distances for 1892 race
which took eight-tenths second off
the mark they established at the
Texas relays two weeks ago.

Les to Anchor Long
Races After Nubbinq
Two Medley Events
BY the Associated Press,


PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-Vic-
tor in its first two major tests, New
York University aimed at four more
titles in the 47th running of the
Penn relays today and, with Miller
Les MacMitchell for the anchor lap,
seemed likely to annex at least two
of them.
MacMitchell, who clinched Violet
victories in a 1924 sprint and a
10:05.5 distance medley yesterday,
returned to anchor the New Yorkers
in the 2 and mile relays.
A couple more races such as the
I. G. "A champion ran yesterday

support from his teammates would
just about put N. Y. U. in the
money.
Even Emil Won Filing, the Violets'
coach, admitted as much. He put
it this way:
IF MacMitchel get any kind of
an even start on his lap, we'll do
all right"
Indiana Strong Contender.
The New Workers also were en-
tered in the half-mile and mile re-
lays but took second ranking to the
favored North Texas Teachers in
both races.
N. Y. US chief opposition in the
2 and mile relays appeared to be
Indiana, twice nosed out by Mac
Mitchell's fine anchors yesterday.
George Pepperdine, newcomer
from Los Angeles, and Maryland
were other top-ranking teams in
the Emile.
A fifth major race on the program
was the 480-yard shuttle hurdle
relay with Virginia, Yale and Navy
as the favorites. Individual events
included the 100-yard dash, with
Barney Ewell, Penn States national
champion, as top man, and the jaw
elm, polt vault, hammer throw,
broad jump and high jump.
The individual events thus far
have produced the only new meet
records-a discus throw of 167 feet
1013 inches by Archie Harris of In
diana and a GIFTS 2-mile by an
other Hoosier, lanky Fred Wilt.
Harris missed a double by an eighth
of an inch, finishing that close to
Jim Delaney of Notre Dame in the
shotput.
Track Times Below Par.
Except for MacMitchell's anchors
and 14.4 high hurdle performance
by Tufts Ed Dugger, track times
generally were below par on the
opening day-a disappointment that
was blamed by some on the chilly
weather and by others on crust su-
perimposed on the previously sun
baked track by a hard rain.
Duke University's winning time of
AZ seconds in the quarter mile was
nearly a second over the meet rec
ord. Glider Farrow of Xavier took
the 400-meter hurdles in $50 sec
onds, almost two seconds above rec
ord time. Preparatory school, high
school and secondary college relays
were correspondingly slow.

Five Regattas on Tap
As College Crews
Hit Full Stride
Navy Races Columbia,
Penn Meets Rutgers
In Feature Tests
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 26-Eastern
college rowing gets into full swing
today with five regattas on the sched-
ule. Every major" Eastern rowing
college except Princeton and Cornell
will be represented.
Princeton already has won twice
and takes a week of while Cornell,
whose varsity has received some fine
advance notices, doesn't begin COM
petition until next week.
Notable on today's slate are the
Navy Columbia meeting at New
York and Rutgers VS.. Pennsylvania
at Philadelphia. The first should
give some sort of line ON Columbia's
potentialities. Nays light varsity
took a beating from Princeton last
week, while Columbia, in its seasonal
debut, barely edged out Rutgers.
Rutgers Gains Prestige.
Penn, as usual, is an unknown"
at the start of the season and for
that reason Rutgers has high hopes
of gaining its first victory over a
major" school. The Scarlet gave
Princeton a tuSsle and came even
closer to Columbia. OFF those two
performances 1t has been suggested
that Rutgers should be invited to
fill Nays vacated place in the
Poughkeepsie regatta this year.
Harvard, considered fairly strong
again, opens it's campaign in the
Rowe Cup Regatta against Massa-
chusetts Tech and Boston Uni
versity. M. I. T.. staging a rowing
revival and definitely committed to
a return to Poughkeepsie this year,
may make some real trouble for a
change.
Yale Slim Favorite.
Syracuse and Yale, both making
their first competitive appearances
in a dual race at Derby, Conn, are
starting practically from scratch.
Neither crew apparently has been
shaken down for good and both have
been charged about within the last
week. Yale is a slight favorite in
the 2-mile duel because 1t has more
experienced oarsmen.
The all minor" event sends Dart
