NEW YORK, May 31.-Black-
haired Leslie MacMitchell gave q
courageous performance today to
lead New York University's track
and field forces to an impressive
victory over 40 other colleges in
the 65th I. c. A. A. A. A. Champion
ships at Triborough Stadium.
After giving the Violets 10 points
with his smashing wins in the mile
and 880-yard runs, MacMitchell
came back in the cleaning TO run
a vital second lap that enabled his
team to capture the mile relay and
clinch the team title with a total
OF 81 points.
Georgetown, with Al Blozis hang
ing up meet shotput record of 54
feet inches, in addition to winning
the discuss, and Jack Doolan taking
third in the 100-yard dash, equaled
its performance of last year when
it tied for sixth place with l3 points.
A tough break in the 440-yard run
cost the Hoyas couple of additional
points.
Morty AlnWick, who impressed
yesterday in qualifying for the dis
tance, broke with the leaders and
ran a heady race until the last 100
yards where he was caught in a
pocket behind Fordham's Johnny
Campbell, the winner; Harold Bo-
grow of N. Y. U. and a couple of
others. He finished out of the
money.
Pittsburgh Team Second.
Pittsburgh's balanced team
took second honors with 2l 19 %
points, despite the fact that the
Panthers won only one first place
all afternoon. Needing a victory
in the relay to remain in the run
ming. the Pitt entries put up a
strong showing for two laps and
then fell back to fifth place. Penn
State took third with 20 3/7 points,
with Rhode Island fourth at l8&.
Great at was MacMitchell's indi-
vidual showing, it was at least
matched by that of Norwood EWell,
a fleet, springy little Negro running
for Penn State. For the second
Z
and % yard dashes and the broad
jump, smashing a long standing in
| tercolleglate record of 2O.8 seconds
for the 220 when he romped 1t off
in POT to beat his field by 4 yards.
| He tied the I. C. "A record of o6
for the century.
| EWell'S succession of victories kept
Penn State in the running, but he
didn't have the balanced strength
back of him that made MacMitch-
ellis featS decisive. Ewell became
the first athlete ever to win three
championships two years in success
sion, while MaCMitchell's three long,
winning runs gave N. Y. U. the first
outdoor track title it ever won.
Dugger Sets Hurdle Mark.
Ed Dugger, Negro star of Tufts,
failed to repeat his double victory
OF last year in the hurdles. He won
over the high sticks, all right, and
established new I. c. "A. record
of 141 seconds. The previous rec
ord was 143 But when it came to
the 220-yard lows, Harold Stickel
| VI ACISpulS gil swept dIedO at ABOUT
the third jump and never let Dugger
get close to him as he won In the
fast time of 23.1.
The feature tidbit of the program,
an extra added attraction in which
Greg Rice displayed his famous
stride for miles against Ralph
SchWarzkopf, eX-Michigan captain,
and Melvern Trutt, formerly of In.
diana, didn't produce much excite
ment or particularly fast running.
Rice won it in 9 minutes SIS
seconds, with SchWarzkopf second
about 10 yards back. AS for Trutt,
he resigned after five laps. About
$50 yards from the finish, with Rice
jogging along in front, the tall
Schwarzkopf put on a mild sprint
and started to go around. Rice,
startled. poured on the coal and fin-
ished like a sprinter as his rival
dropped back dejectedly. The crowd
OF about 1000 at least got to see
Greg's sprint.
