Times State Service

LAFAYETTE, Mar: 22 Champions will be the rule) | rather than ‘the-exception in the all-star fields. that will compete for top honors in the seven special events that will, be included on the program for Purdue's eighth annual

relays here Saturday.

The colorful Boilermaker games, which will provide

i the climax of the collegiate! -

ack season, will find’

1C4A, Central Collegiate, Missouri Valley, Michigan State, and Illinois Tech meets. matched against each other for the first time this season. The special 1000-yard ~un, with Don Gehrmann, Wisconsin's brilliant distance runner, shooting at the world’s and American indoor record of 2:08.8, is bound to claim a good share nf the spotlight, but it is the hurdle field that has the experts really excited. A mere ‘isting of the timbertopping entries gives some idea , of the keenness of the competition. Over the high hurdles, Bill Fleming of Notre Dame, the defending champion and winner at Michigan State this year, will be challenged by Russ Merkel of Jowa, Big Ten and Illinois Tech champion, who is undefeated in collegiate competition this year; James Gehrdes of Penn State, JC4A titlist and Roy Grieve, Bradley, Missouri Valley and Illinois Tech college division champion. Others who can not be ignored in the field include Norbert Badgar, Michigan Normal; Horace Smith, Michigan State, ‘and Bob Hinkle, Illinois.
