For. Three Wins
AT Penn Relays

PHILADELPHIA, April Is (P).
The Texas University Long,
horns. bent on winning three
relay titles tomorrow and Satur-
day at the Penn Relays, are in
town q day early to warm up
for the big meet.
The Texans last invaded
Franklin Field 81 years ago and
established a quarter-mile relay
record which this years quartet
hopes to lower. Their record
of All seconds is the Oldest on
the Penn Relays books.
Coach Clyde Littlefield, will
send teams after the 440, $50
and mile relay crowns, and to
say he has q chance OF winning
all three is no exaggeration.
Wally Wilson, Ed Southern,
Hollis Gainey and Bobby Will
den will carry the baton for the
Longhorns in both the quarter
and half. events In which this
foursome already has lowered
the existing world records. At
the Kansas Relays last week they
were clicked in 1913 seconds for
the quarter, and in the recent
Texas Relays ran the half in
I1:22.7.
Mile Race Featured
The mile, final event on the
program, should be a humdinger.
The Lone Star State runners
clash with Villanova's defending
champions. Texas has recorded
a 3:12.8 this year and will be
shooting at Villanova's 1856 Penn
record Of 3:11.9.
| Running for Texas will be
Jimmy Holt. Tavern Voight,
Southern. and Wally Wilson.
Coach Jumbo Elliott plans to use
Ed ColImore, Charley Stead, Ron
Delany and Charley jenkins for
lVillanova.
Spaniard Ruled Out
Meanwhile. the side-armed
ijavelin thrower from Puerto Rico
who has tossed the spear farther
than the worlds record has been
ruled ineligible for the Penn re-
lays.
Miguel Salcedo, 23-year-old
Spaniard representing the Uni

man with the unorthodox jave-
lin style. and 1t was to be de-
Itermined by judges at the relays
if his throwing method was legal
/ However. Bob Paul, Univer-
lsity of Pennsylvania sports in
formation director, revealed that
Salcedo won't be eligible for
