220 record holder, co-holder of the
century mark, and anchored the
440-yd. relay team that set the
record that fell to the latest edi-
tion of a Michigan track team last
week. The quartet that bettered
the :41.9 mark set' in 1930 was
made up of John Gregg, Don Chal-
fant, Dick Cephas and anchorman
Tom Robinson, who did the dis-
tance in :41.4.
Michigan also took the mile re-
lay with a time of 3:18.5. Dick
Cephas, Tony Seth, Dave Martin
and Marsh Dickerson did the
honors in this one. Bryan Gibson

the mile relay, but was withheld
from this race to take a first in
the 440 run.
Tom Robinson, hampered by a
cold, ran nothing longer than a
leg of the 440-yd. relay, but was
able to sprint a :9.4 100-yd. dash.
The time would have been a new
varsity record, eclipsing the pre-
vious mark of Tolan and co-holder

two-mile run saw a rarity in a
