nell's team-winning performance
today in the Diamond Jubilee
IC4A track and field champion
ships at Franklin Field.
The meet was a sore disappoint-
ment to Georgetown as the Hoyas
failed to win individual champion
ships in any of the events for
which they were favorites. Both
Joe Deadly and Charley Capozzoli
were beaten in their specialties
and the best the Hoyas could do
was gather Is points for sixth
place in the team standings.
Ahead of the Hoyas at the close
of the Is events was Cornell,
which won its first outdoor IC4A
championship since 1886, with
1914 points; Manhattan, 29h;
Seton Hall. %; Villanova, IS, and
Penn State. 1434.
Stanfield, the speady Seton Hall
Negro who is one of Americas
great hopes for the 1852 Olympics,
did more than tie his own mark
in the 220. For when he ran it
in 20.6 in 1949, it was on a
straightaway track at New York's
Randalls Island.
Ralph Metcalfe, the Olympic
Splinter from Marquette, toured
the 220 on a circular track in 21.2
in 1888. That's down in the books
as record for a circular track.
That mark has been bettered I'M
officially, but no one has come
close to the time turned in by
IStanield today.
Stanf1eld also successfully de-
Tended his title in the 10O-yard
dash and lost by only three
|fourths of an inch to Cornell's
Meredith Gourdine in the broad
jump.
Gourdine, a big husky Negro,
also was a double winner, taking
the 220-yard high hurdles with
ease, along with his hairline VIC
tory over Stanfield in the broad
jump, record performance. That
record Of Is feet. ga inches was
set in yesterdays trials, and nei-
ther he nor Stanfield tried to bet
ter their performances today.
After clinching team honors,
Cornell withdrew from the mile
relay in which it was favored.
The closest any Georgetown
runner came to an individual title
was in the mile where Joe La
Pierre was second by three yards
to Villanova'S Fred Dwyer, the
IC4A indoor champion. Capozzoli
was tired third in the two-mile.

winner.
LaPierre Early Leader.
That mile was a good tight race
with LaPierre leading the second
and third laps. but losing the edge
to Dwyer going into the first turn
of the home lap. LaPierre battled
the Villanova strider all through
the back stretch and may have
inched ahead momentarily, but
the lanky Dwyer opened up a good
space to win over the very tired
LaPierre in 4:15.6. Georgetowns

momentarily.

In the two-mile, Barry showed
a surprising return to form with a
smooth finishing kick that put
him home well ahead of everybody
in 9:24-3, Capozzoli led from the
second through the sixth laps,
with John Johnson of st. Johns
taking the seventh. But it was
Barry who took command on the
last circuit and unhurriedly
opened up to win Impressed.
