the script had been prepared by a
movie writer, the winners Of all
major mile runs this winter meet to-
night to close the metropolitan in
door track season.

OF Dartmouth, IC4A best with a
4:162 clocking.
Although Dodds appears ready for
his fastest time of the winter and
Dixon has been the most consistent
many Of the railbirds expect Mitchell
to triumph.
The Hoosier hasn't been well and
at his best for some time, but Coach

rest since the AAU races has put
Mitchell back on top.
Although the mile is the chief at
traction, many of the expected l4,00o

hopes OF seeing Greg Rice triumph
for the 62d time in a row and for
their first glimpse OF Bob Ufer,
Michigans quartermiler.
Rice will be trying for the Bishop
