eaten Harrer Team Tops Maryan Entries for Star Games
1erps 10 Have Squad
OF Is for Events
Despite Late Start

A championship cross country
team, undefeated for four years,
heads Maryland'S list of entries
for the fourth annual Evening
Star Games January 13 at the
Armory.
Coach Jim Kehoe expects to have
approximately Is men ready for
the games, although the Ierps
didn't begin training until last
Monday. The coach is counting on
the barriers to do the bulk of
the running. The quartet includes
Tyson Creamer. Al Buehler, Bob
Browning and Lindy Kehoe. In
its four undefeated years, the
crosS-country team acquired four
Southern Conference champion
ships.
I'VE have a lot of new men on
the squad" Kehoe said, "but I'm
going to enter as many as possible
in The Star Games because think
it's a great thing for track. Our
boys run against the best track
men in the business in The Star
Games. We don't meet this kind
Of competition the rest of the sea-
son. and it's good for the boys to
know the stars, to run against
them. talk to them and see how
they perform. We'd like to win
something, too, and We'll do our
best"
Creamer, Buehler, Browning,
Gus Meier and Lindy Kehoe form
the group from which the coach
expects to pick Maryland'S mile
varsity relay team. Indy and
Creamer also are possible entries
In the $50.
Kehoe has a promising fresh
man mile relay squad of Bob
Nesbitt, Frank Kane, Charles
Wagner. Phil Stroup end Mac
Byrd from which he can select a
team, and a couple of fair to
middling" hurdlers in Merwin
Carter and Morty Cohen.
Carter is transplanted Texan,
now living at Greenbelt. who is
regarded as one of the most PROM
tsing hurdlers to come along in
recent years. Kehoe tsh, tshs the
idea that the youngsters could
run away from everybody in The
Star games. but observers who
have seen Carter work out predict
a great future for him.
All of Maryland's track team
halls from Maryland and the
Washington area and three of the
members are prospective candi-
dates for the District 10O-yard
AAU title. They are George Burk-
lin from Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School, Wayne DeMoss from
Coolidge, and Mac Byrd, a Wash
ington-Lee alumnus.
The high jump brings up
Carter's name again. along with
that OF Dick LentZ. Carter is a
good Jumper-and a pole vaulter
as well-but Kehoe hasn't decided
whether he'll put the youngster
in the high jump in The Star
Games along with Lentz, or let
him concentrate on hurdling.
George Butler of Havre de Grace
and Stan Goldberg of Baltimore
are the only pole vault specialists
working out with the Termps and
there is good chance both will
appear. Butler can do IL feet,
which he'll have to improve to
be a contender, and Goldberg is
O few inches under that figure.
Maryland lost Carl Rubach and
Mario Salvanell, - hurdlers, and
George MCGOWAN and Bob Palmer,
quarter-milers, by graduation, but
the four have been working out
with the Baltimore Olympic Club
team and have been using Mary
lands armory for practice. Kehoe
would welcome all four back on
the Terlo squad, but he feels that
If his own 1850 squad is too in
experienced to make an impress
sion on the star-spangled field in
The Star Games, perhaps the
alumni will do something.
