In the director's hands are some 3,000 entries representing athletes from 500 colleges and prep schools throughout the United States. "Seldom has the mile relay field been so extensive," Swarts declared, pointing to quarters from the North Texas Teachers, New York University, Maryland, Pittsburgh which set the Penn record of 3:14. a year ago Ohio State, Manhattan, Fordham and others.

In Texas and New York U. observers see the biggest threat to Pittsburgh's relay supremacy. The N. Y. U.

quartet broke the world' 440 indoor record last season on the lightning fast Dartmouth track, while the Texans were only 9-10 seconds off the Penn record In an earlier appearance this season. The University of Texas holds the 440 mark with 49.1, set in 1836, and Pittsburgh the 880 title with 1:25.8, set last year.
