MATHEMATICIANS THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA the half-time intermission but Hal Lear, Guy Rodgers, and Fred Sowell Runs Tonight In Garden Meet • NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (M)—Now that the mile no longer is the glamor feature, Arnold Sowell, Tom Courtney and Co., will get the major share of attention to morrow night in the New York Athletic Club Games in Madison Square Garden. Sowell, the Pitt Panther, and Courtney, currently a GI station ed at Ft. Dix, N.J., are old rivals, and they will battle it out in the half-mile, which very well might turn out to be the headliner, after all. Both Sowell an d Courtney are taking dead aim on th e world indoor 880 yard record of 1:50.5 set by the late and great John Borican 14 years ago. Furthermore, either is ca pable of breaking it. This also will mark Sowell's first start in a cup race this sea son. Heretofore, he has been kept under wraps, running strictly as anchor man on the Pitt two-mile relay team. It's undefeated, of course. Already. Sowell has been caught in 1:49.6 and 1:49.8 in his - half-mile stints on the .re lay team. These were from run ning starts, but th e coaches figure only about a second ad vantage for a relay start, so no matter how you look, at it. he's down near the record. Sowell, a senior, has whipped Courtney in seven of nine meet ings, both indoors and outdoors, since they first began fussin' and feudin' two years ago. It there fore would come as something.-of an upset if the former Fordham University ace won. As. for the mile, it's being conceded to Ron Delany of Vil lanova, the Irishman who runs only as fast as required to get across the finish line first. Joe Deady and Len Truex, who have spent the season to date watching Delany's heels, an d George King of New York Uni versity, a new face, form the re mainder of the four-man field.
