However, such pros- pects as Fletcher Brown and Robert Grissom may make the outlook bright. This year's team is strong in the distance runs with such threats as Larry Cleveland and Joe Sciolino. Both are veterans of Cross Country running and should do well in both the half-mile and mile runs. Other promising distance runners are Ron- ald Golba, Lynn Loeb, Paul Young and Paul Scheib. In the sprints be- side Brown and Grissom we will have Julius Zebehazy, Cleodious Johnson, John Naffky, Bobby War- ren, Arlingston Albert and Mitchel Ingram. None of these boys has yet had a chance to demonstrate his ability. 0 O
