Injury May Keep
Ewell From AAU
Fray Saturday
Cut from competition in Satur
day's NCAA meet in Lincoln,
Neb., by a pulled muscle suffered
as he stepped over the takeoff
board in a broad jump trial, Bar
_'ney Ewell's' condition was still
questionable yesterday as he made
-the trip from Lincoln with Coach
Chick, Werner and Barney Pleiser,
the other Lion entry 'in the meet.
Unless the injury, considered
rather serious immediately after
6_ it happened Friday afternoon,
heals quickly, the Lion flash will
be unable to compete in the Na
tional AAU meet in NeW York
this Saturday, his last competi
tion before entering the Army. .
In the event that the injury
does not heat enough to let him
take part in this meet, he will
have lost all chance to show his
skill against Hal Davis, Univer
sity of California sprinter, and fo
try again to break the jinx of
'their two-year-old rivalry.
Davis, after Ewell's withdraw
al from the meet Saturday, easily
won both the sprint events which
were to be the "sprint of the cen
tury" as these two speed mer
chants battled it out for the next
to the last struggle of their col-,
lege careers.
If the Lion speed man can re
cover fully from his injury in time
to train some this week', he
probably give the westerner a
hard battle even though he will
be running under great odds. Odd
ly enough, this injury which may
mean so much to him, was Bar
ney's first, in his long track
career.
Repeating for the eighth year
in a row, Southern California ,cap
tured .team honors with 8." 1 / 4
points, followed by Ohio State
with 44. Individual honors went
to Davis arid • Bob Wright, Ohio
State, with two firsts each.
The only Eastern . titlist of the
meet was big Al Blozis, George
town, who took the shot put for
the third year in a row. Les Ape-
Mitchell, NYU distance man, rat
.ed as near the top among the
mile run contenders, drew his
first NCAA defeat as he took
_third in the - mile behind Bob Ginn,
Nebraska, and Leroy Wood, Cali
fornia.

Gaining a 5-'1 'victory over
Coach Nick Thiel's All-Star North
lacrosse team in a short 25-minute
exhibition scrimmage played Sun
day at Gene Tunney's USO Sports
Carnival in New York City's Polo
Grounds, the South got some con
solation for,-their earlier defeat in
the regular post-season game. .
Jim Gotwals.,.and To Mitchell,
Penn State stick star who repre-:
sented the Lions on the All.4Star
North team, played outstanding
games for the loSers, according.to
Coach Thiel, head' mentor this
year for the _ Allantic seaboard
'champions.
The outcome of Sunday's battle
has no bearing upon the regular
series between the North and the
South teams. Coach Thiel's Nor
thern squad holds a one-game •ad
vantage over the South by virtue
of a win over the South in the
regular game.
Among the many attractions at
the Sports Carnival were a four
round boxing match between Corp.
Joe Louis-and a sparring partner,
Donald Midge in a tennis exhibi
tion, and an Army-Navy baseball
game. Bob Feller and Hank Green

ing in the outfield during prac
tices to, give sophomore Jack Web
er experience.

second base, with Maurice Posner
and Bill Sidler providing compe
tition and trying out at shortstop
where Whitey Thomas has a vir
tual monopoly. Gene Sutherland
has good chances at third, while

ter, Bill Grimes, Bill Debler, and
Bob Perugini.
