Wins Hurdles
AT Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Jan. 9 (AP).-I
Herman johnson, 17-year-old
high-school senior from Plain
field. N. j., opened the major
indoor track season of 1860 to-
night by barreling his way to
first place in the 60-yard high
hurdles of the All-Eastern in
door meet before a crowd OF
1000 in the Fifth Regiment
Armory.
Johnson. who also is a star
football player, bowled over
two of the four hurdles in his
liz second dash. He nosed ont
Russ Rogers, a transfer to
Maryland State from Winston
Salem Teachers College. Bill
johnson, the University OF
Maryland's Atlantic Coast Con-
ference and IC-4A outdoor hur-
ding champion of last year,
was third.
Johnson. an imposing physi-
cal specimen at 6-foot-4 and
2l5 pounds. has been compared
to Plainfield's famed Milt
Campbell. He is among the
early entrants for The Evening
Star games in Washington
January %.
Ed Collymore, former ma
tional champion while at Villa
nova. outran Paul Winder, last
years titlist from Morgan
State, in the so yards on the
fiat. Collymore. now with the
Marines at Quantico. was timed
in ga seconds, although his left
thigh was thickly taped for
his first competition in 61aI
months.
Another Marine from Guam
tico. Mike Fleming, defeated a
Swede running for Delaware
University, Carl Homen, in the
mile run. Fleming. a Baltimore
high-school graduate, took 4
minutes 20.5 seconds for the
eight laps.
Neither Morgan States mile
relay team nor Georgetown'S
two-mile quartet received more
than a workout. Morgan was
opposed only by Maryland
State. in its first year of track
competition, and won easily in
3.24.7. Georgetown ran Balti-
more Olympic Club into the
boards in 1856.
