That's the question Jim Gehrdes is trying to find an answer to as he prepares for the non-Dillard Intercollegiate 4-A meet at New York Saturday. For the fifth time this year, Harrison Dillard edged Gehrdes in a hurdle race, this time the National A.A.U. race at New York. The former Baldwin-Wal lace ace had to equal the world's record of :07.2 in the 60-yard high hurdles to slip by Penn State's timber topper. In the trial heat, Gehrdes romped to a :07.6 win and in the quarter final cut one-tenth of a second off his time to outsprint Ed Taylor of Western Michigan in :07.5. Ed Dugger of Dayton nipped Jim at the tape in the semi-final in :07.4, but the Altoona flash came roaring back in the final trial to mark up a :07.3 timing. Gehrdes finished inches behind Dillard. This race marked the third consecutive N.A.A.U. cham pionship for Dillard and his fifth consecutive indoor win of the season.

From there in it was all Lamle, as the tall sophomore from Cali fornia S.T.C. rang up six con secutive counters in the closing moments to send State winging off on a 13-point victory-produc ing rally. In a dull, listless first period, the Lions, largely on the strength of their foul shots, jumped off to a 9-0 lead.
