Colburn, who set the University 1000 record at 2:09.3 earlier this season, has not competed in two weeks due to a slight muscle pull. He may have lost a bit from his patented finishing kick and will have to survive an afternoon trial heat to qualify for the evening final. Penn's Jerry Williams and possibly Yale's Bittner and Army's Larry Lemaster will pose the chief threats...

...anyone who knows that methadone itself is an addicting drug, the immediate and inevitable question is: Why is it being given to these real (but fictitiously named) drug addicts? Many reputable physicians have despaired of getting any substantial number of hard core heroin addicts to kick the habit even after long-term confinement and psychiatric treatment - 80% to 90% soon relapse. So the doctors have concluded that the best thing to do is to fight fire with fire...
