...good indication of their strength comes from the scorecard of last week's Philadelphia Collegiate Championships. Winning Wildcat performances in that meet included Noel Carroll's 1:49.7 880-yard run, Vic Zwolak's 4:08.6 mile, Earl Horner's 0:21.2 220-yard dash, Dick Kurnik's 56' 8 1/2" shot put, and Larry Livers's 0:13.9 high hurdles and 0:52 intermediates...

"Could you enlighten us sir." asked Jack Horner of the Washington Star, "as to why you're not having these press conferences more frequently-especially as to anything in particular you don't like about them?" Kennedy's response was revealing. "Well, I like them." he began; then he added hesitantly: "Sort...
