St. John's (21-1.), Ithaca (01-0),
Seton Hall (15-4), Penn State and

Penn State will i be wOl represented in the IC4A Cham

versity are expec 0 to wage quite a battle among themselves,
but no team is c hsidered strong enough to beat Villanova,
the university n me which has become synonomous with
the IC4A Champio ships.
However, the Vor4dcats Were
unanimously picked to win; last
year and did it only after a re
check of the scoresl showed Penn
State had been erroniously, an
nounced the winner'.l •
"You can nevero..ell what a
team is going to do in the ICIA's,"
Lion coach Chick liWerner I said.
"It has happened before that a
team has been favi'red andl then
never even placed."
SEVERAL RECORDS are ex
pected to be broken, with the
Lions' Gerry Norm;rl favored to.
do damage to the three-mile mark.
Norman, who brokei the Coliseum
Relays 5,000-meter record bY two
seconds in placing fifth iri .Los
Angeles last week, *as clocked in
13:56 at the three-'ile mark. His
time was far bel w
,the iIC4A
record of 14:11.8.
Yale's Bob Mack, this year's
two-mile IC4A indoor champion,
will probably give; Norman the
most" trouble.
