Of The Star Games. He Just
doesn't find the time to get 70
the school often while getting
things in shape for the meet.
"The boys just run on their
own, and apparently they did it
all right" Griffith said after his
charges won last night. Sammy
Lee. team captain, handles
things when Griffith isn't around.
When Art Bragg Of Morgan
State tied the meet record in the
100-yard dash last night with a
9.8 clocking it made him a CO.
holder of all three Of the sprint
series records.
With Henry Thresher, then of
Mercersburg Academy and now
of Yale, he holds the 70-yard
record at IL seconds and he is
in a deadlock for the 80-yard
record with Thresher and Joe
Cianciabella of Manhattan. All
have done it in 8 seconds.
Bragg was clocked at IL in
the 70-yard dash both last year
and this year.
The 100-yard record he tied
last night was set by Cianciabella
in 1948 and tied by Jim Fielding
of Georgetown in 1850 and by
Macdonald Bailey of Great Brit
ain in 1851 before Bragg got into
the act this year.
Jim Kehoe, coach of Mary
lands track team, which won
both the indoor and outdoor
Southern Conference meets last
year and yet took only one first
place-Morty Cohen's outdoor
broad jump title-says it's
doubtful the Terrapins can do it
again. Duke. North Carolina,
North Carolina StaLe and Vir-
ginia Military Institute all have
strong teams. and he figures the
conference meets as the best
balanced in recent years.
Stur Landauist. the Swedish
Olympic distance runner who
now is a student at Oklahoma
A8SM, has invitations to all the
big indoor meets which follow
this one, such as the Millrose
Games, the Boston Knights of
Columbus meet. and others of
the same caliber.
But his coach, Ralph Higgins,
isn't sure he'll hit the indoor
circuit. It all depends on how he
feels about indoor. meets after
he thinks over his race in the
Star Games. He ran second in
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce Invitation Mile.
Bob McMillen, the United
States Olympic distance runner
who was a disappointing fifth in
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce mile, said the size of the
Armory track confused him. Most
of the big meets are run on
tracks of II or IL laps to the
mile, but such is the size of the
armory that there are only eight
laps to the mile.
Anyway, McMillen forgot he
had only eight laps to go. and
started his final squirt too late.
He figured to finish among the
first three at least. But last night
not only did such runners as Fred
Dwyer, the former IC-4A cham
pion. Landquist and Warren
Dreutzler, another United States
Olympian, beat him, so did Clyde
Garrison Of North Carolina
State.
Gararison is far from being an
unknown. In the Southern Con-
ference he is one of the best.
Both in cross country and in
mile and two-mile races. But
this is the first time he's finished
ahead of anyone of McMillen's
prominence.
Charley Capozzoli isn't the
smallest runner on Georgetown's
track team, although at 125
pounds he's little enough. That
distinction goes to Jerry Foley,
who ran last night in the $40.
Foley weighs only 120 pounds
and is short in proportion. Coach
Frank Sevigne says that Foley
is going to develop into an excep-
tionally good two-miler, just like
the bigger" Capozzoli.
Tom Fitzgibbon, the former
track coach at George Washing
ton High in Alexandria who has
been at North Carolina State for
several years. is looking for
job elsewhere after this season.
He says the South isn't as track
conscious as some other areas.
and he wants to locate where
there are better opportunities.
Tommy Is particularly noted
for the good distance men he
turns out, and fans here will
remember CIV Highs superb
miller, Bobby Jones.
It was very. heartening to see
Richmond's team come in third
