QUANTICO. Va, May 8 (AP).
The star-spangled seventh
annual Quantico Relays open
today and what is expected to
be a record-smashing two-day
affair could be launched auspi-
ciously, by the first two events
on the program-the discus
throw and the broad jump.

Athletic Club, who last week
bettered his world record in the
discus with 205 feet 5la inches,

of 25-4A in the broad Jump are

who has cleared 7 feet, are Dave
Morris Of the Baltimore Olym-
pic Club, James Hill of Morgan
State and Leroy Curry of New

mile run, hop. step and jump;
