All Colleges in Area
To Have Entrants
Next Saturday
Kehoe Passing Up Dixie
Comes in Richmond
To Compete Here

One of the f1ashiest mile field.
that ever elboWed its way around
track hereabout will lace on its
shoes for the Cy Macdonald Memo
rial mile, which features the Dis
trict A. A. U. track and field cham
plonship meet Saturday at College
Park.
All colleges in the Metropolitan
Area represented in track have
promised to enter full squads, fresh
men as we'll as varsity, and that Is
gilt-edged guarantee that it will
be a day crammed with action and
excitement.
The mile. four gruelling turns
around Maryland's well-groomed
oval, has attracted Tommy Fields
the Terps' ace; Jimmy Kehoe, one
College Park in decade; Dave
Morrison of North Carolina, Johnny
Corbett. Catholic University's con-
slstent youngster: Duke freshman
by the name of Lockwood. who has
been running the pins off his varsity
freres, and one Joe Pitzell, formerly
of the Millrose A. A., but now resi-
dent of Washington.
Others May Enter.
There may be more by the time
the deadline falls on entries to-
morrow evening at s o'clock and
these, by the way. should be filed
with Chairman Yank Robbins at
iii Fifteenth street NV. but this
group has enough speed. endurance
and homegrown rivalry to make
good race of it.
Robbins tried to get Les Mac
Mitchell of New York University and
Campbell Kane of Indiana for the
meet, but Les is running in dual
meet Saturday and Kane has date
on the Coast. Walter Mehl is in
Honolulu and Chuck Fenske is in
the Army, so this will be the first
District A. A. U. party in recent
years that hasn't had a headliner
to attract the customers. 1t
shouldn't need it, however, if all the
schools enter their stars.
Kehoe, who was Clocked in 1:54
In half-mile time trial last week,
IS passing up an opportunity to de-
fend his Dixie mile title at Rich
mond. Kehoe is anxious to try his
luck at the distance after a winter
of half miles and 1000-yard runs
Due for induction into the Army
soon, he intends to step up into
mile ranks after his discharge, and
Saturdays race should be a good
test of his endurance.
Kehoe May Meet CoIlado.
There is possibility Kehoe may
meet up with Georgetown's sensa-
tlonal freshman. Lou Collado, over
the half-mile route, and if such a
race materializes it will share top
billing with the mile. Collado is
one of the finest runners to ma
circulate at the Hilltop in several
years and is regarded as a poten-
tial star of next years winter sea-
son.
If all freshmen do go to the
post, and there is no reason why
they shouldn't, young Duke Alex
ander, Maryland yearling, may mus
Gle into the spotlight in field events,
where heretofore Georgetown's AL
Blozis has shone alone. Alexan-
der is high jumper. one of the
best, if not the best. ever to sport the
colors of a school in this bailiwick.
He has done feet 4 inches and
while not pressed in dual compe-
tition this spring has been jump
ing as we'll as ever despite a foot
ball injury that threatened to cut
short his career.
Another Terp yearling who should
attract attention is Heckert Horn,
who has tossed the discus l48 feet 2
inches this season and who also is
an able shot-putter. LIZA.
