Call for Brink's. The U.S. track team has no fewer than ten world record holders, most of whom are naturally favored to capture first place in their specialties. Lee Evans, a whippet-like San Jose State College senior, owns the 400-meter record of 44 sec., and is expected to both win that event and lead a victorious U.S. 1,600-meter relay team.

John had a disappointing season on the track last year but seems to thrive on the longer distances of cross-country. He has already made significant improvement on his best home course time of last fall...
