laps. He hit the mile in 4:276, and
from there on pulled away from his
lone challenger, George De George
of New York and Uncle Sans Army
He began to lap the rest of the field
at the halfway mark and from
there to the end he picked them up
as regularly as the Sis commuters
special.
He hit the tape all by himself for
his 62d straight victory. He had
been presented the Bishop Donahue
trophy and was on the way to the
dressing room before the rest of the
field struggled in, with De George
second and the IC-4A champion
Glenn Masten of Colgate University
third.
Dixon Four Yards Ahead.
Dixon, running just off the pace
set by Gil Dodds of Boston for three
quarters of mile, turned loose his
kick in the last two spins around
and won by yards.
This was Franks third win of the
season, following up his Boston
Hunter Mile and National AAU
indoor championship victories, and
insured him of the years honors
in his speciality over Dodds, who took
the Baxter Mile: Jim Rafferty, OF
the New York A. c., who won the
Metropolitan AAU title and finished
third tonight; Dartmouth Don
Burnham, fourth this time and
conqueror of Frank in last week S
IC-4A title tussle, and Earl Mitchell
of Indiana, who took the Wana-
maker Mile of the Millrose meet and
wound up a weary fifth tonight
Mitchell, however, had the fastest
time of the winter, 4:086.
Ufer Wins in Slow Time.
The classic Casey 600 was another
slow one, with Michigan Bob Ufer
making every pole a winning one
and coming home by yards in
1:114. The Wolverine whizz- bang
came back later in the proceedings
to anchor the Michigan 2-mile relay
team to 7:48.8 victory over Ford
ham.
The top mile relay of the night
went to Villanova in 1928 as New
York University's favored foursome
finished last, due to some bad pass

Perhaps the only performance of

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, March 13
Penn State and Temple dominated
the Eastern Intercollegiate Gym
nastic League championship quest
today as each team carried of three
titles in the annual post-season COM
petition.
Chuck LeBow paced the Penn
State team champions with titles
in the horizontal bar and 20-foot
sitting rope climb. His 38 seconds
in the latter event brought him Of
fetal recognition as the world rec
ord-holder, even though Teammate
Fred Young was credited with the
same time. The latter lost out when
one timer clocked him at four sec
onds.
Temples winners were Joe Scha-
backer in the side horse, and George
Szpula in the tumbling event and
all-around competition. Like Le-
Bow, both Temple champions are
products of Northeast High.
Other title winners were Capt. Lou
Bordo, Penn State, in the parallel
bars, and Cadet Wallace Moore,

Most of the clubs will spend only
two or three weeks at these bases
and face the prospect Of curtailed
workouts subject to the vagaries Of
the weather in the area north OF
the Potomac and Ohio Rivers to
which the major leagues have
limited themselves.
Consequently there will be no
frills to training this year. Some Of
the practice will be done indoors.
Several of the diamonds outdoors
are makeshift affairs laid out on golf
courses or vacant fields. Some of
the hotels are overgrown boarding
houses. At some of the sites the
athletes will have to walk mile or
more to practice. Long underwear
will be necessary at several camps.
The contrast with the easy days

is evident. But what is more i'm

going to camp with Is or 80 players
instead of the 40 they used to take

CIury Miqht Surprise

"A little fellow like Ellis Clary is
the type who might surprise you.
He didn't do much with us last sea-
son but the last month or so he
started to show something. He hit
.375 that last month. He didn't look
too good at second base but, what
the heck, he'd never played second
base before. He has a good arm but
he hasn't learned to use it. A fellow
that likes to win as much as he does,
though, can be taught.
Don't forget, Ty Cobb once was
sold for $25. The reason baseball is
such great game is that it's so
unpredictable. You're DANCED right
