~ VIC kSoVOAosCN EceS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-Although
Greg Rice. throbbins tendon and all,
pounded through the 2-mile run at
the Millrose Games for his 57th
consecutive track triumph. the
former Notre Dame star already has
picked his successor as the United
States premier distance runner.
Rice predicts that when he re-
tires his niche will be taken over
by Oliver Hunter, presently an I'M
dergraduate at the same South
Bend, Ind, school and already good
enough to finish second to the
champ Saturday night.
Hunter Greatly Improved. i,
II knew how good Ollie was be-
cause I worked out with him at
South Bend before I moved to New
York" Rice said. but the improve
ment he has shown since then is
amazing. Wait until he gets some
experience on the boards and he will
be very hard to take"
Rice then related how the late
John Nicholson, Notre Dame coach,
forecast the same role for Hunter
after taking one look at the new
conner.
The youngster finished a full 60
yards to the rear of Rice In the
9:022 race Saturday night. However,
he stayed with the barrel-chested
veteran for most Of the journey and
actually set the pace for three trips
around the 11-lap track late In the
duel.
Rice was one Of the few favorites
to triumph in the seth annual Mill
rose games, escaping the jinx that
fell on all the favorites with the
exception Of himself, Cornelius

Earl Mitchell, given little chance

from Indiana University ran in third
place most of the way, but then
romped home with the meets biggest
