Strong In Sprints

The team looked especially
strong in the sprints with a one-two
in the 100 and 440 and a tie in the
120 High hurdles. In the 100 yard
dash Mike Gamble was clocked in
:10.1, just nipping Kent Merritt
who seems to be having some
trouble trying to play football and
run track. Dickie Morris sped past
his older brother John and took the
440 yard dash in :49.2, while John
had to settle for second. The
hurdles were also exciting as a
smiling Harrison Davis came on
strong to tie his teammate Mike
Heagle with a time of :15.1.
Coming in a close second was
another Virginian, Ed Campbell.

In other action, Sam Jesse won
the 220 yard dash in :22.5 and first
yearman Dave Peyton broke the
wire in :57.0 in the grueling 440
intermediate hurdles. Bob Niles,
also from U.Va., took second. Mike
Decamps took second in the 880
yard run while Jim Wood placed
third in the mile.
