Md.State and Morgan State Square
in Battle for CIAA Track Title

By John A. Hollay
BALTIMOBE, Md. (CIAA
News Service)—Maryland State
College, with the versatile Rus
sell Rogers and Charley Mays
headlining a cast of outstanding
harriers, and Morgan State Col
lege, the host team, led by Law
son Smart and Wllmore Davis,
square In the l>attle for the
CIAA track title, currently held!
by the Eastern shore Hawks,
and the lion's share of the hon
ors in the 41st running of the
annual CIAA Track and Field
Cbampionsbips here in the Bears’
Hughes Stadium, Friday and
Saturday, May . 11-12.
Ntorth Carolina Collage, Wins-
ton^alem Teachers College and
Virginia State College are ex
pected to supply enough arsenal
to make clinching the champion
ship by either the Hawks or the
Bears a down to the wire af
fair.
Once again. Eddie Hurt, the
Birars' mentor arid aTso meet
director, has a strong challeng
ing outfit that is expected to
give the heralded Hawks’ star-
studded array of runner.s a real
run for the conference crown.
Clifton Anderson’s club won
the championship last year,
beating NCC’s Eagles in the last
event of the day. On this year’s
17-event card, there wil! be in
dividual champions defending
their titles, headed by Russ
Rogers’ defense in the 120-yard
high hurdles and the 220-yard
low hurdles, Hewitt Joyner, De
laware State’s distance runner,
in the nvlle and two mile events,
and Maryland State A1 Santio in
the shotput and the discus.
In the relays. North Carolina
College returns in quesit of both
the sprint medley and mile re
lay titles which they won a year
ago, but are already counted out
In the mile relay where both
Morgan State and Maryland
State have better clockings.
Anderson’s foursome of Earl
Rogers and Jim Phipps, team-
med with Russ, the famous
cousin of Earl, and Majrs, havd
covered the distance in 3:12.0^
while Hurt’s quartet of John
Bethea, Bob Bag][ey, Huberf
Brown and Smart have been
among the best in the country
with a 3:13.1. NCC's be.st mUa
relay time has bee*.'8:17.8.
However, in the iprint medr.
ley L. T. Walker has an awe
some foursome, anchored by tha
strong Andy McCray, who has
already run the half mile in
1:,W flat. Here he expects his
I quartet to be the match of any
(In the CIAA, Including »top
teams from Maryland State,
Morgan State, Hampton and
Virsinla State.
Virginia State’s Jimmy John
son, being heralded as heir ap*
parent ito t|ie league's sprin
title vacated by the graduated
Paul Winder, must tight off
NCC’s Joe Goodwatar, Morgan
State’s Oliver Dobbins and Wil-
Ton Jackson, and his own team-
asate, Opoaige Smart in the 100
yard dash. In fhe longer sprint,
the 220, he must again contend
with Goodw^t^r, Winston
Salem’s Frank Haoop-
ton’s Louis Horner, as well as
Mays and Jackson.
With Walt Johnson of NCC
having graduated, the 440-yard
dash crown is up for grabs, and
Bowens, a ‘‘bridesmaid” for tha
three seasons in this event, has
his eyes set on being the CIAA’s
quarter-mile champ. However,
he’s in for a real fight from
■Morgan State soph. Hubert
Brown, who wll be making his
first appearance in the con-
iference championships..
Credited with the fastest time
among league quarter-milers,
Brown ha» a 47.9, followed by
iBowens' 48.3. NCC’s freshmen,
Wan*a Poole (48;7), . Homer
(|i8.6) and Maryland State’s
^rfo of Earl Rogers (4fl.B>, Jim
iPhipps (46.9) and Mays, who has
run e 46.1 relay anchor leg, are
other real strong contenders.
Last year, Delaware State’s
Hewitt Joyner coasted to easy
-wim -in-both the ^»lle and two
mile runs. But as the 41st run
ning of the championships ap
proach, three runners are ex
pected to dethrone him in both
or one of the events. *
Rogers is expected to defend
his title in both the high and
low hurdles with little dif
ficulty. Morgan State’s John
Bethea and Winston-Salem’s
Ken Shepard could make it a
tight race, however, in the 120
yard highs. Smart, at peak form,
could unseat Roger in the low
hurdle event too.
In the quarter mile high
hurdles, where Rogers is ex
pected to try for a sweep in
the hurdles races, it Will be a
real battle with Smart, who fin
ished third In both the NCAA
(SLO) and the National AAU
(91.9) providing the opposition;
and even tighter if Walker
ejects to run McCray in the
event too.
McCray, who pulled pff the
most startling run In last year’s
championships, in winning the
half miile as an unheralded
freshman, should defend his
orown easily this year. Already
credited with a 1:53 flat in this
event, his top contention for tbe
repeat in the 880 will come from
Morgan State’s Ray Ivey, a
sophomer with a 1:55.3 clock
ing, and Hampton’s Horner, If
Jimmy Griffin elects to run him
in the half instead of the quart
er.
Mays is expected to annex his
first CIAA broad Jump title, re
placing Godfrey Moore of Wins
ton-Salem, who graduated. Wil-
mere Davis stands alone as the
conference’s best high Jumper.
In the hop, step and Jump,
the title vacated by the depart
ure Of Eddie BusK of Maryland
State, Mays Is the no. 1 contend
er, but a sleeper in freshman
Norman Tate at NCC, could up
set Mays in this event. Already
Tate has leaped 45 feet, while
May’s best jump has been 44-1.
Two other strong contenders
will be Winston-Salem’s Robert
Jackson and Morgan State Don
Bowie, both credited with 44
foot leaps this season.
In the field, it figures to be
a tug of war between Maryland
State’s Santio. A. and T.’s Alex
Gaines and Virginia State’s Lu
cius Shuler for the spotlight.
Last year, Shuler came away
with all the accolades as he set
a new javelin record with a
205-1 heave. However, Gaines,
if he lives up to the expectations
predicted for him by track ex
perts, will be the toast of the
field events this year.
Not only Is the 6-2, 225
pound first year shotputter be
ing predicted to take the shot-
put title away from Santio, but
he is expected to be throwing
beyond the 50-foot mark, mak
ing overtures at the existing
CIAA record of 50-9. His long

Santio of Maryland State, makes
this event the most comoCitive
in over a decade of conference
chnmplon.shlps.
In the discus, Santio ranks all
alone, being one of the top
heavers In this event on the
entirp east coast. The same goes
for the javelin throw, if Vir
ginia State’s Lucius Shuler is in
his rare throwing form again.
However, up and coming new
faces in both the discus and the
Javelin are expected to surprise
the throngs of expected specta
tors who will witness the 41st
annual running of the CIAA

With Gaines, whom many
track experts have predicted
will be beyond the 50-foot mark
by thia time, and Santio book-
in«» up In the shotput, the ex-
Y^iiig record oil 50-9 »>»j/ by
