unused Still, No Wrinkles is COM
ing along fine-and has picked up
about 100 pounds down here"
Mrs. Mars paid $4,000 for the
frisky chestnut as yearling, and
No Wrinkles won more than that as
| 2-year-old with four victories in
eight starts. The horse won two in
row at Tropical Park before the
automobile driving ban closed down
Florida racing.
Although the high-strung Double
S won only one of seven 2-year-old
starts, Waldron feels encouraged.
He Is coming along much better
as a 3-year-old than he did last
year" the trainer commented.
After completing preliminary con-
ditioning down here, Waldron will
take the two horses to Churchill
Downs about March %. They are
likely to start in the Derby trials
and No Wrinkles may have a couple

Set in Five College
Indoor Meetings
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN,
Associated Press Snorts Writer

NEW YORK, March 8-Eastern
collegians have posted the best
marks in five Of the eight events
common to this winters quintet of
indoor track meets restricted to
students
A study of the summaries of the
1C-4A, Big Ten. Big Six, Southern

South Draws Blank.
The South, although Tom Todd
OF Virginia turned in a spectacular
0:07.6 for the 70-yard low hurdles,
was not outstanding in any of the
eight. The Chapel Hill, N. c., gath
ering was the only one at which the
barriers were run over 10 yards.
Don Burnham of Dartmouth de-
feated Frank Dixon of New York by
less than an inch in the featured
mile of the IC-4A for the fastest COL
lege time in that event, although
Dixon has been clicked faster than
4:162 in open meets this winter.
Despite Dixon's defeat, New York

collected in the annual attraction at
Madison Square Gorden.
