strong track team to the IC4A
indoor championships Saturday
night at Madison Square Garden,
but it is doubtful the Hoyas can
finish as high up as they did when
they took third place behind
Manhattan and Seton Hall last
year.
Maryland. too, will have several
good entries, but the Terrapins
are handicapped by the fact that
Tyson Creamer, it's ace middle
distance man, and several other
runners are ineligible for IC4A
competition.
The Hoyas are breaking up
their undefeated two-mile relay
team to go after individual titles,
a switch from last weeks Ma
tional AAU championship meet
when they skipped other events
to concentrate on winning the
relay. .......
The relay men entered in In
dividual events Saturday are Dave
Boland in the 600, Carl Joyce and
Dick Saunders in the 1000 and
Joe La Pierre In the mile.
He's in Fast Company.
Boland especially is in fast
company and really will have to
step out to earn a place. Other
600 entrants include Vern Dixon,
from Manhattan's superb mile re-
lay team, Dick Maiocco of New
York U. and Jim Lingle of Cor
nell. Joyce, who was second in
the mile last year, may go as a
favorite. or close to it, in the / 200
where he has the best collegiate
time of the season. 2:14.4 at the
Boston AA games. Joe Deadly of
Georgetown, since graduated, won
with record 2:11.7 last year.
La Pierre should be good for a
place in the mile, where he was
fourth last year. Among others
returning for this test are: Fred
Dwyer Of Villanova, a 4:16.2 win
ner last year, and Walt Mollineux
of Brown.
Other Georgetown entries Sat-
urday are Charlie Capozzoli In the
Emile, Don Stonehouse in the CO.
yard dash. Ray Brophy in the
hurdles, Tom Flaherty in the pole
vault and Stonehouse, Ed Kirk,
Vince Kelly and Bill Clark in the
mile relay.
OF this group, Capozzoli stands
the best chance of finishing high
up. In his event it looks like an
other test between him and Dick
Shea Of Army, with Shea the likely
winner. Shea did it in 9:12 last
year with Cappy the runnerup in
9:15.9.
Held Meet on Same Day.
Maryland is competing in the
1C4A indoor title meet for the
first time in several years. Re-
Gently the Southern Conference
has been holding its own indoor
title chase on the same date.
Even without Creamer, the Old
Liners will have some good men
going Saturday night, but two of
their best. Morty Cohen and Tex
Carter. will be against particu-
larly speedy competition. They
are entered in the 60-yard hurdles
and with Cohen the conference
champion and Carter a newcomer
who has been beating him regu-
larly, the Terps have a right to
expect a good showing there. But
they'll be against such as Meredith
Gourdine of Cornell, last years
winner; Pete McCreacy Of Dart
mouth and Larry johnson Of
Army.
Cohen also is the conference
broad jump champion and will try
that event, too, Saturday night.
Again he'll be trying to beat Cor
nells Gourdine, who was second
last year behind Andy Stanfield of
Seton Hall. who since has been
graduated.
Other Maryland entrants Sat-
urday night are Jack Unterkofler.
the conference champion, in the
shotput and possibly AL Buehler
in the 1000 and Pete Augsburger
in the shot.
Several Not Eligible.
Several other Maryland track
standouts, including Creamer, are
ineligible for this meet because
of the IC4A three-year varsity
rule which went into effect year
before the Southern Conference
dropped its freshman rule follow
ing the war. Creamer and these
others are eligible for other col
legiate competition. however.
Several Marylanders not COM
&peting in the IC4A will take part
in a meet at Annapolis involving
Navy, the Navy Olympic squad
and the Baltimore Olympic Club
