Two Meets This Week

Time trials this week will deter
mine the complexion of track COM
binations going to the Penn Relays
from Georgetown, Maryland and
Catholic University and while the
omens are not favorable to their
cause the several coaches hope to
spring surprise or two.
At Georgetown Hap" Harden
definitely has selected Al Rogers,
Paul James, Hugh Short and Lou
Collado as his freshman mile team,
and while this combination has not
scorched the cinders in training he
believes it will make some teams
eat its dust when the chips are down.
Morty Alnwick and Charley Will
hams, both of whom shaded so Sec
onds in trial runs last Saturday,
have just about clinched berths on
the varsity quartet, but Ken Lyden,
Pete McAtee, Charley Fish and
Charley Neumeyer are waging a
battle royal for the other two po-
sitions. McAtee has the inside lane
on a berth, but will have to improve
on the sos he registered for the
quarter last week.
Lyden's Wound Handicap.
An entry was filed in the sprint
medley, but Ken Lyden, hampered
by a spike wound, has been unable
to train for the half-mile role and
the Hoyas probably will cancel. It
Is conjectural whether Lyden will
make the grade with the mile team,
although warm weather, which has
helped all the runners, has speeded
his recovery.
Jack Doolan, entered in the 100
yard sprint invitation, is the dark
horse Of the contingent. lHardell
has been working painstakingly with
the speedy Irishman, emphasizing a
strong finish, for Jack is a notorious
60-yard runner, and he believes the
lad will show neat pair of heels
to some rivals. Doolans leg motion
is good, but his arm motion needs
improvement.
Coleman Headley, Maryland's sun
tanned mentor, will do more clock
punching and calculating than a
ttmekeeper this week before choos-
ing Maryland's teams, but from this
distance a sprint squad of Gene
Ochsenreiter, Joe Murphy, Vernon
Miller and Tommy Fields would be
q good bet TO finish in the money.
Lou Chacos, Johnny Adams and Bob
Montgomery also are eyeing the
team and will have an opportunity
to show their mettle.
While the Terps are listed in four
events they don't have the all
around strength that enabled them
to romp off with three champion
ships last year and it is believed
Headley will devote his energies
toward getting something in the
sprint medley and mile. For the
latter he has Murphy, Chacos, Dev-
LIN, OchSenreiter and Miller,
Bob Condor and Randall Cronin
complete the list of candidates,
almost any one of whom could
seep into any position and do
pessabls Job. 1t the Terps send
teams postward in the half-mile and
emile races most OF these boys
win see action.
Fields, Ochsenreiter and Condor
figured In Maryland's triple tri-
urnph last year, Fields competing on
oil three teams. Ochsenreiter ran
on the emile squad and Condor
was member of the 4-mile crew.
Catholic University is two weeks
behind its training schedule, but
Dorsey Griffith still hopes to
have enough speed to capture his
second Mason Dixon Conference
mile crown.
Cards Hit by Illness.
The team has been hard hit by
Illness which may force 1t to cancel
In the class 3 championship and
sprint medley. John Doyle, one of
Dorseys better runners, lost l8
pounds in the last three weeks be-
cause OF an ailing stomach but has
not given up running. He'll vie
with John Weschler, Jim Mallaney,
Charley O'Keefe, Dick Fullam and
Joe Street for positions on the mile
quartet.
O'Keefe is the victim of an ailing
leg that gets stiff just below the
knee joint and seems to be rheu-
matte. Dave Bunting of the Naval
Academy has the same ailment and
the only remedy seems to be heat
and plenty of rest.
Johnny Corbett, a 2-miler, is the
only other contestant Griffith will
take to the games, although his
plans are subject to change with
out notice.
The Cardinals were to run Villa
nova at Brookland today and have
O triangular meet Wednesday which
should give them a good workout |
