the only double winner, carried off
high individual honors at Tlio. na

the 880-yard race so fast ho at

been clocked in an AAU meet
Sowell himself ran the distance
in 1:47.6, a full second under Hie

Sowell made it clear that he was
the best half-miler in the United
States when Imnie Spurrier of the
Air Force, who has an unofficial
1:47.5 to his credit, ran fifth.
Tom Courtney, Foixlham's NCAA
