CLEVELAND, March 28.-Watch
out for Earl Mitchell. the Indiana

He upset Gilbert Dodds. the

dent now running for the Boston

and did 1t in minutes 10.7 seconds.
It was Mitchell's fastest mile and
with plenty of college competition
ahead, sports fans were tagging him
today as a new threat to New York
University's great miller, Leslie Mac
Mitchell, who didn't make the trip
here.
Mitchell recently won the Big Ten
2-mile run, and his victory gave him
q trophy as the outstanding man in
the meet, witnessed by 6,906 cash
customers.
And like the river celebrated in
song, Greg Rice just rolls on and on.
The former Notre Dame distance
star used the Cleveland Arena meet
to turn in his 48th straight victory
by covering miles in minutes 55.1
seconds. Rice finished more than
three-quarters of q lap in front of
Fred Wilt, from Indiana University.

wake Of a manifestation Of patriot
ism which will benefit both the
Army and Navy relief funds the Ma

to close its annual three day meet

dence and credit for unprecedented
unification Of the league was given
yesterday. Differing only in dates,
the schedule will call for each team
to play the usual home-and-home
games with its sectional rivals in
addition to three intersectional op-
ponents.
Although nothing official has been
released, 1t Is believed that the Red
skins three Western opponents will
be the Chicago Cardinals, Cleveland
Rams and Detroit Lions. All three
would be played at Grifith Stadi-
