THURtDAY. JANUARY T. 1955 Mile Relay Cup Is Lions' Goal Five trophy events will highlight the Jan. 21 running of the Philadelphia Inquirer Games, with the Lions having a chance of returning to the Nittany Valley with' the Liberty Bell mile relay cup. Art Pollard, Dave Leathern, Roy Brunjes, and 011ie Sax gave the Lions a firm grip on the trophy with a record time for the meet of 3:23.8. The Liberty Bell award, which is being put on the line for the fourth year, is the newest 'emblem of supremacy in the Games. Cornell annexed the first cup in 1953 with a 3:24.1 performance. Last season 21 colleges and universities took part in the six races held in the Liberty Bell Series running. According to an AAU ruling no cup can be up for contention for more than three years. Awards are retired when 'a runner or, as in the case of Penn State this year, team wins the particular event twice in that three-year per iod. If there are three different Winners, the grail goes to. the per son or squad with the best time. Four • Other Trophies The four other trophies which are on the verge of retirement are for The Philadelphia Inquirer Mile,. the Lawson Robertson Me morial Two-Mile, the John Bori can Memorial 1000-Yard Run, and the Howard S. Jenson Memorial Pole Vault. Trophies .for the mile and the pole vault are up for the third time and must be retired, Previous mile cups were shelved by former, NM great Les Mac- Mitchell; Fred Wilt, the FBI Fly er; and Don Gehrman, the Wis consin Whippet. Freddie Dwyer holds the edge in the battle for the mile silverware. Ills 1953 vic tory time of 4:09.7 is better than that recorded by last year's win ner, Ohio State swifty Len Truex. Pole Vaulting A two-way battle also looms in the pole vaulting, where. Bob Richards, holds the edge with a 1953 winning leap of 15' 4". Don Laz, last season's victor, cleared the bar at 14' 8" to snap "The Fly ing Parson's" six-year win streak in the Philadelphia extravaganza.

COLLEGE STATE COLLEGE to try to pick up his third Jenson trophy. Olympic champion Horace Ash enfelter has won three straight Robertson Two-Mile races and has stashed away one cup and gained a grip on another.' Even if the former Penn State star does not win the event in the next two tries, it will be hard to beat his 8:59.2 clocking. A Seton Hall law major, Harry Bright, set a meet record in the 1000-yard race last season with a 2:11.3 pace, and stands an excel lent chance of picking up the Bor ican hardware. Although all of 1954's winners will be on hand for the 11th an nual classic, they will have •to compete against some of the fin est talent ever assembled for an indoor meet. Dwyer and Truex will be pitted against the fabulous Wes Santee, the Kansas Cowboy with the gal loping strides. Pole vaulters Rich ards and Laz will be tested by Europe's outstanding performer, Ragnar Lundberg, among others.
