Jogging to an easy victory, the Ram's track team defeated Georgetown University and Saint Joseph's College last Friday night. West Chester accumulated 81 points to Georgetown's 22-1/2 and St. Joe's 22-1/2. The Rams showed their superiority by winning six of ten individual events and winning both the four lap relay in 1:17.3 and the one mile relay in 3:33.7. Outstanding in the field events were Jim Keys in the shot put and Joe Talley in the pole vault." Keys' winning throw of 49'3/4" was good enough to win the event and beat out freshman teammate Gene Sekulski, but short of the 52' necessary to qualify for the JC4A Championship Meet to be held •n the beginning of March. Talley's jump of 14'0" was also sufficient enough t() win, but he too fell short of qualifying when he missed his attempt at 14'9". In the mile, Chuck Marquette accelerated past teammate Dave Patterson in the last lap to win the event. West Chester also won the remaining places in the event as Bill Dawson finished second, followed by Patterson and Bill Showers. In the two mile, Patterson came back to run a 9:36.8, which gave him the victory over Justin Gubbins of Georgetown. Marquette finished third. In the 45 yard dash, Joe Baliff was nosed out at the tape by Georgetown sprinter Joe Mattingly. Both were clocked in the tinted 5.0. Mattingly also won the 220 yard dash as he beat out Ed Boldosser of W.C. in the last 40 yards of the race. Jim Agnew continued his winning ways by capturing the 440 yard dash in 51.9. St. Joe's sprinter Tony Natale was second followed by Charlie Griffin of W.C. The 880 yard run was the most exciting race as Joe Tomczuk of St. Joseph edged out W.C.'s Frank Vnuk in the time of 1:59.6. Mike Black, also of St. Joseph's, finished third. Other notable performances were displayed by Mel Hinton and Dave Jensen in the 45 yard hurdles, Bob Bair in the sprints, Rob Roup in the pole vault and Kirk White in the high jump.
