Fairleigh Dickinson initiates its track season with indoor track participation. Our indoor mile relay team, which also participates as an outdoor team, consists of seniors Bill Wheels Wheelock, Joe Murphy, Charlie Mc Nerney, and sophomore Carl Bachman. This speedy four- some established a new school record at the K of C meet at Madison Square Garden by completing the mile circuit in 3:25.6 for a first place. Coach Walt Marusyn's men won at the Boston Invitation and Philadelphis Inquirer meets with identical times of 3:27. On the boards in the 60 yard dash, Perry Dabineet has run as well as :6.5-.5 seconds from the world's record. Wheelock also turned in commendable times in the sixty. Joe Murphy, who doubles in the hurdles, is presently top man in this event in the Metropolitan-New Jersey area. F.D.U. started its outdoor track season with a 94-4 trouncing of Wagner College. Ray Bury proved himself to be a one man squad by taking five first place awards at this meet. Joe Murphy, of indoor fame, broke two school records against Wagner in the 120 high hurdles and the 330 intermediate hurdles. Wheels Wheelock, John Vida, and Ron Griepenburg also turned in creditable performances in the Wagner meet. After the tremendous showing in this initial meet, Coach Marusyn had nothing but an optimistic outlook for the remainder of the season. Along with powerhouses like Morgan State, Villanova, Manhattan, Maryland, and St. John's, F.D.U. was invited to the Queen's Island Relay Carnival. Our cindermen scored 17 points here to place fifth in a field of 21 teams. Against such terrific competition, this was an excellent showing. Next year Coach Marusyn and assistant weight coach Tom Galucci will greatly miss seniors stars Bury, Wheelock, Murphy, Vida, Dabinett, and Lundberg. Their graduation will leave a huge gap in next year's team, to be filled by such up and comings as Griepenburg, Graf, Yorkston, Bachman, Mc Nerney, and Patterson. Hopefully these under- ., 5.1'4; $4! ,2 .v .43, classmen will fill the spikes of some of the finest cindermen that F.D.U. ' 3 w has had in its short intercollegiate athletic history. Dave Hardy . .

b' 4? Coach Wally Houber's fencers had a dismal season on the books, with a won-lost record of 1-9. Their only victory of the season come over a strong Jersey City State team. In the North Atlantic Fencing Championship held at Wayne, N. J. this year, F.D.U. came in last behind such outstanding schools as Drew University, Syracuse University and Paterson State College. To illustrate the poor luck this team has had all year, Jersey City State, a team F.D.U. had beaten, placed fifth with Fairleigh placing thirteenth. The captain of the team, Jack Fiorino, is the only senior of a quartet of outstanding fencers on the Knight squad. His seasons record was 15-12. The Rutherford ace was tied for third with Les Schutzel. Les is not a senior so he'll be available next year. The two top men on this years squad will both be returning. They are Joe Welter, 19-11, and the top man on the squad, Michael Yorkston, 20-11. In all three competitive elements, epee, foil, and sabre, Yorkston was the most outstanding. He was followed by Welter ond Schutzel. These three returning lettermen will be a definite threat next year. . W1- '--l J. Welter 01 and M. Yorkston 5
