"but I am too far along in
training to take q chance. !
think I'm running as well as
I ever have"
Brown Beats COllymOre
It was his usual game that
Slime played in the race he
won, putting ON a laundering
burst near the end that left
Brown q loser by a step. But
Brown had no worries in the
other two sprints and in both
instances beat out Ed Colly-
more. ex-Villanova star now in
the Marines at Quantico. Joel
johnson, a sophomore from
Western Michigan, was third in
all three Sprints.
Moran, who has shown sparks
Of greatness the last couple of
years, still had been given little
chance Of breaking the meet
record. He won last year in
4:14.3 and wasn't expected to
do much better than that.
But he took the lead at the
gun and led all the way, with
the Australian star, Al Law
renee, dogging his heels most Of
the way. AS the end neared,
Lawrence fell back and Moran
won by nearly 80 yards.
Anderson Second In Vault
Gutowski, a Marine stationed
at Camp Pendleton, Calf, was
the only vaulter to get past IS
feet last night.
Mel Schwarz, ex-Maryland
star who has been as high as
1873, had to settle for third
place behind Bjorn Anderson,
the former Danish decathlon
champion now going to Mary
land. Rolando Cruz, schoolboy
fro m Mercersburg Academy,
took fourth. though he
matched Anderson and
Schwarz at 14-6. Placing was
determined by number Of
misses.
With Dennis out Of action,
the high Jump lacked the lus-
tire of other years. Smith, Bob
Barksdale, ex-Morgan State
star, and Bob Gardner, the
Quantico Marine who has had
some mighty fine jumps the
last two years, all tied at g.
AZ, and misses settled the title
here.
Macy. who fed the Polish
Communist army, won the
2-mile run three straight years
and set the record twice. This
time the event was increased to
3 miles at the request Of Olymp-
ic officials, and 1t was Macy all
the way. He won in 14:01.4, with
Pat Clohessy, a Houston team
mate, taking second and Jerry
Ashmore of Western Michigan
getting third.
May Beats johnson
May, q strapping 6-foot-3,
201-pound Chicagoan, was too
much for Bill johnson Of
Maryland in the 70-yard high
hurdles. A former Big Ten
champion at Indiana and
recognized as potentially a
great hurdler, May thundered
down in the inside lane to beat
johnson by a comfortable yard
in 8.4 seconds. The record Is
80 seconds, set by Lee CAL
houn Of North Carolina College
In 1857.
With Hayes Jones, the NCAA
and Pan American Games
champion from Eastern Michi-
gan, a late scratch because of
a sprained ankle, the race was a
breeze for May, who calls Blue
Island, a Chicago suburb. home.
Russ Rogers of Maryland
State was third and Leon Praz
of Villanova fourth.
Bowens. a Brooklyn boy who
was winning the biggest race
Of his career. did 1t in spectacu-
lar manner. He overhauled
Nick Ellis of Morgan State, the
favorite and defending cham
pion, in the last 20 yards to
make amends for the third
place finish he got last year.
He was clocked in 1875.
Ellis. the small-college quar-
ter-mile champion. won the
900 in the All-East meet In
Baltimore two weeks ago, but
he had to settle for second
place this time. George Mat
thews Of Catholic University
took third and Walter john
son Of North Carolina College
was fourth.
Rousing Finish
Caraftis, former New York
State High School half-mile
champion who did not go to
college, won the 1,000-yard run
in one of the most rousing
finishes Of the night.
