It was the first tussle of a two-game week end series be tween the two schools. Ashland broke onto the scoreboard on a Stuart Baker jump shot in the second minute of play and kept the lead throughout the skir mish. Period standings were 20 to 15, 35 to 24 and 51 to 33., The Grizzlies capitalized on the ability to get free for good shot3 and make them. They ut ilized some snappy passing to work the ball in close and shake off Comet defenders and- they scored from long range too. And particularly in the early stages of the game, Ashland defense held Crater to few good shot chances and also busted up the Comet attack. Crater, nevertheless, managed to stay close to the Grizzlies through the first quarter.

Saturday's feat, witnessed by a crowd of 12,000, was regard ed the convincer in Landy's in decision whether to compete in the Olympics. During the sum mer of 1954, Landy announced that he "was through chasing fast times' in distance races. He since has wavered in that decis ion and recently resumed racing seriously. Can Do Better 'I can do much better than that," were his first words when timers advised him of his time. I was slugggish at the start. And I haven't done any laps against the clock in my recent training and I think that work ed against me today. "But I never finished better. My last 150 yards were very pleasing to me.
