NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.-Les Mac
Mitchell didn't get any ovation from
Boston track fans when he won
the Hunter mile at the Boston A. A.
indoor meet Saturday, but he's due
to receive 1t this week when he
comes home for two appearances.
Mac Mitchell has been chasing
fame around the board tracks sew
eral seasons and he appears finally
to have caught up. Before he beat
Walter Mehl, Chuck Fenske and
John MunSki in the excellent time
of 4:10.7 at Boston, he had con-
quered the same field in the Seton
Hall meet at Jersey City. This
week, as a winner instead of just
Conner he is listed to run in
the first Metropolitan indoor inter-
Collegiates at the Bronx Coliseum
Wednesday and to make his first
start in the famed Baxter mile of
the New York A. c. games at Madi-
son Square Garden Saturday.
Fans See Only Matchmakers.
Although he won by the huge
margin of yards over Mehl, and
although his time was just second
slower than the Boston record,
Mac Mitchell couldn't stir the Bos-
ton crowd. The fans had been look
ing for a new mark, with a speedy
early pace. and they were trif1e
breathleSS from cheering the record
breaking featS of Hurdler Fred VOL
colt and Pole Vaulter Earle Mead
owS. Still, it was the fastest and
beSt-paced mile Mac Mitchell ever
had run, and right fast stepping
for a 20-year-old.
Les figures to win the Met college
mile easily and perhaps lead his N.
Y. U. team to victory over Man
haitian. Saturday he'll have strong
er opposition from Fenske, who won
last year in 4:074: Mehl. Munski and
Luigi BeccaH. They may have been
tired last week end after running
at Philadelphia Friday.
The Winged Foot meet. claimed to
be Americas Oldest track carnival,
presents the same cast as the other
ma jor meets this winter with few
newcomers.
Trutt Was Rice's Jinx.
Notable among these is Mel Trutt,
former Indiana star being brought
East to give Greg Rice an argument
in the 2-mile run. Rice won his
18th straight indoor victory in the
Boston 2mile run, sprinting from
Don Lash on the last lap to finish
in 9:033. Trutt used to beat him
regularly in college Although Trutt
has done a Ali mile this winter, he
likes the Emile route better. Joe
McCluskey, Tommy Deckard, For
est Efaw, Bobby Madrid and Ralph
SchWartzkopf also are in the field.
Meadows, who set a world indoor
pole vault record of IA feet SIS
inches at Boston, again will face
Kenny Dill of Los Angeles in his
speciality. Wolcott, who lowered the
45-yard hurdles record to So sec
ondS, isn't listed for the N. Y. A. c.
meet, but may be post entry
against Allan Tolmich, Larry O'Con-
nor and Ed Dugger.
