Barney Ewejl. former Penn State

to a brilliant start hie spied off his
marks with such speed that Perry
Samuels. highly touted Texas
xhonlboy da>h star, was never able
to ratch up. Ewell, uho twice won
triple championships in the Na
t.onals while an undergraduate in
1041 and 1042. became the firs!
trackster in four war years to equal
post-war track performances as he
negotiated the century da*h in
10 3 seconds. This equaled his own
meet record, and tied Eddie Tolan's
Olympic 100-meter mark. The time
was just one second off the world
record for the distance.
F.well finished fifth in the broad
jump, and easily qualified for the
200-meter title race but scratched
from the finals His record time in
the dash served a* the speaihead
for a large contingent of Negro
athletes who won six firsts and
finished well up in the running in
12 of the 19 events on the A.A.U.
program.
