Stone Tops List Of Ace 2-Miters
Booked for Star Games Event

Curtis Stone, most consistent
American two-miler, will head q
stellar cast in the Acacia 2-Mile,
one of the feature invitation events
in The Evening Star Games to be
held in the National Guard Armory
on January Is.
!: The Acacia 2-Mile will be pre-
sented for the first time in the Sec
ond running of The Evening Star
Games. The Acacia Mutual Life
Insurance Co. will donate "a sterling
silver bowl which will be up for
three years Of competition with the
winner each year having one-year
possession. 1t finally will go to the
runner who wins it two out Of three
times or makes the best record over
the period of three years.
=. Stone in the Olympic 5,000-meter
race in London last summer finished
sixth, considered an excellent show
ing in a race in which Europeans
consistently dominate.
Formerly Penn State star, Stone
now runs under Che colors of the
Shanahan Catholic Club of Phila-
delphia. He had an outstanding
record In the indoor meets last
season.
Sparkled This Year.
He took the Milrose 2-Mile, run
ming the distance in 9:11.7, fastest
mark in the 1948 indoor season. He
defeated field which included For
est Efaw, outstanding star who ran
third; John Twomey of Illinois, who
ran on the Illinois relay team in
last January's Evening Star Games;
Horace Ashenfelter, Thomas Quinn
and Jack Milne of North Carolina.
It was coincidence that the week
before Efaw, Twomey and Stone
also competed in the West Point
meet with Efaw winning and Stone
running third with Twomey the
middle man. On February %, Stone
took the Smile in the AAU cham
pionships, winning by IS yards over
Armand Osterberg of New York
University.
While the field for the 2-mile is
not completed, it is probable that
a sparkling entry list will be pro-
vided. Invited to compete are Bob
Black of Rhode Island State, who
nosed Stone out by matter of
inches in the National Senior AAU
held at Detroit on November q;
and Twomey. who also will run on
