the North in the fourth annual
Senior Bowl game here today.
(The game will not be tele-
vised. but Station WTOP win

Chuck Maloy of Holy Cross and
Harry Agganis of Boston Uni
versity were the quarterbacks OF
the North team, coached by Paul
Brown of the Cleveland Browns.
The South is coached by Steve
Owen of the New York Giants.
Maloy is the player who was kept
out of the East-West game by
Coach Biggie Mum in favor OF

be the favorite targets of Scar
bath and Graves. With both teams
expected to feature passing at
tacks. the North passers were ex-
Ipected to seek out Bernie Flowers
of Purdue and Ernie Stockert OF
UCLA.
North Fullback Hurt.
The North squad definitely was
to be without Chuck Hren OF

foot. Halfback Gene Goldman OF
Indiana will be moved to the full
back spot in Hren's place.
Leroy Labat of Louisiana State

Gray game. and William and
Mary's Ed Mioduszewski are ex-
pected to do most of the ball
carrying for Coach Owens South
team.
Each team is allowed only %
players. Although both coaches
planned to use the platoon sys-
tenn, some players necessarily
have been tagged for double duty.
The North's defensive unit,
composed mostly of Big Ten,
Pittsburgh and Penn State play
ers, includes two All-Americas
from Michigan State-Linebacker
Dick Tamburo and Guard Frank
Kush. Southeastern and South
ern Conference players, plus Jack
Little of Texas AIM and Ken
Pridgeon of Houston form the
|South's defensive platoon.

AS a result, although total prize

er top rewards are scaled down ac-

Race at Melbourne

MELBOURNE, Australia. Jan.
3.-John Landy of Melbourne Uni
versity ran another remarkable
mile at Olympic Park today, COW
ering the distance in 4:02.4 over
a breeze-swept brickdust track.
His time was just second SLOW
er than Gunder Haegg's world mile
record of 4:01.4, set in Sweden in
July. 1945. Lardy. Australia's o.
year-old Olympic runner. ran the
mile on the same track December
13 in 4:02.1.
All four official timers clocked
Landy today in exactly the same
time, which is unusual. Three of
the timers also clocked him ex-
actly at 3::44.4 for the 1,500 me-
ters. This also was close to
Haegg'S world record of 3:43.
Wins by 200 Yards.
It was said to be the fastest
l 500 ever run in the course of q
mile race.
A crowd of probably 1900 fans
turned out to watch Landy run
in an interclub meet and, cheered
him on constantly during the last
two laps.
There were IA starters, but the
nearest was fully 200 yards behind
Landy at the finish.
One of Landy's clubmates got
out in front and set fast pace
for him for nearly two laps, then
dropped out exhausted. The rest
Iof the way Landy was out in front
all by himself.
When his time of 1894 for the
half was announced, it became OBJ
vious to the crowd that the black
haired runner was out for a record.
Unfortunately on the final
|Straightaway he was forced to
head directly into the breeze blow
ing down the track.
Finishes Strongly.
This appeared to slow him, but
he came strongly again at the
finish. There was no wind gauge
Iso it was difficult to estimate the
strength of the breeze. 1t was
sufficient, however. to blow dust
clouds across the track.
The track was hard and powdery
on top as it hadn't been watered
for week because the grounds
keeper was i'll.
Landy ran today with a severe
cold which almost caused him to
pass up the meet.
Australian officials were de-
lighted that Landy set such q
blazing pace for the second
straight race as they had been
Idispleased at the report that some
Americans thought something was
flshy about his other great run.
The officials took pains to ex-
plain to reporters that their
watches were fully tested each
week and thereafter sealed until
given to the timers at the meet.
