The meet, held under a relentless sun, brought to a close one of the busiest Berks County schoolboy campaigns in history.

Ewell closed his career with the Tornadoes in the proverbial blase of glory to seize three first places and reel off as many record breaking His Olympic like efforts in the sprints and broad jump gave Ooach Dick Madison's squad an early lead large enough to remain formidable as other schools trotted out better weight and distance material. The crack Shillington team posted five first places in collecting 38 points for second place. Reading, last year's champion, proved a dis appointment and could do no bet ter than 35 V4 counters and third place. Other totals were: Muhlenberg, 22; Lansdale, 19; Allentown, 16; Birdsboro, 12; Kulpmont, Mt. Perm, 3, and Oley, 1.

Werner, Diedrick Flash Swell's 15 points was high individually. Ruel Heffner's crack TShlllington athletes, Ken Werner and Quentin Diedrick, were good for two victories apiece. Werner annexed the 880 and mile, while the burly Diedrick showed the way in the shot put and Javelin. Other steady performers included Muhlenberg's Dave Roth and Jack Watt, of Lansdale. An unannounced added attraction was a half mile exhibition by Oene Venzke, the county's outstanding track product.

The former University of Pennsylvania stylist, forsaking the golf links for an afternoon, stepped off the 880 in 1.55 45, the fastest time for that distance ever registered at George Field. His timers reported 58 seconds as the first half of his spin. Ewell Stands Out A heavily taped right thigh, bounding a muscle which was slightly strained Saturday in the P. I. A.

A. state championships at State College, proved no handicap to Ewell and left the audience wondering as to his ability when in perfect shape. His first onslaught on the standards occurred in the first heat of the 100 vard dash. The black comet streaked down th straightaway in 9 35 seconds. equalling his own state mark and breaking the meet time of 9 45 he established here last spring.

His flash was one fifth second faster than Ben Johnson, Columbia Uni versity senior, ran to win that event in the intercollegiate A. A. A. A. championships last week at New York.

Ewell, streaking with an effort less pace that was the envy of every athlete in the park, breezed to a new 220 record of '22 25 seconds, one and one fifth seconds speedier than his old top. In the broad jump, after having a spectacular leap of 23 feet, 1 inches nullified because of overstepping tne taKeoff board, the Olympic prospect bounded 22.10 into the sawdust for his third new record. The old local mark was 22.2, established in 1934 by Reading's Sammy Washington, now attending Hampden University. Easy Reading Win Easiest triumph of the day was notched by the Reading 2.200 yard medley relay quartet. With lead off man Dick Burtner gaining a big lead in the quarter mile, Kermit Trout, Charley Lowery and Ernie Carter followed with similar showings to put the Red and Black far In front of second place Birdsboro.

Great running by Watt of Lansdale made the mile relay close after the first three Raider baton wlelders had unleashed all they had. Lowery, No. 3, ran probably what was the best 440 in his career to outdistance the field. No other contender seemed to have a chance as Burtner grabbed the stick, but the wiry Watt came up from nowhere to threaten the homester in a sizzling dash down the stretch, Burtner snapping the String a few scant feet ahead of the visitins anchor man. SHpp Shades Adams Another spectacular finish saw Johnny Slipp, Gene Shirk's prospect from Birdsboro, shading Brooke Adams, of Muhlenberg, in the hotly contested 1,100 yard medley race for county schools.

The Birds weren't in the race after the 220 and 110 jaunts, but Johnny Deibert dashed off a neat 330 to bring them In the fight. Slipp received the baton and roared around to duel Adams for the lead on the final turn. Slipp gained a slight advantageit couldn't have been more than an inch and won in a crashing climax that saw each boy receiving severe cinder burns as they collapsed to the track from exhaustion after ttieir terrific grind Werner, third at the half way mark of the 880, whizzed by Lowery and Shorty Heller, of Lancaster, In the backstretch to lead the former il yards at the id.

HOME RUN STANDING I Wagner Grabs aL i While the North Hills Country Club course, where Bill Neilan is the pro, is fairly rugged, it is not rated as tough as Riverton, where the PGA qualifying rounds were played.

There fore, the four Reading pros who will jour ney to the Philly layout, should grab at least two of the eight places in the national open qualifying play. Byron Nelson, Al Heron, Harry Markel and Horace Hoffman, are the local entries in Harry Markel the 36 holes of medal play today. Although a little tired after the strenuous struggles in the PGA at Pittsburgh, Nelson, the RCC pro, feels he should be able to make the grade in the national open for the first time. Heron is under a handicap, being troubled with a sore left stnutf er, but he will be firing at the pin for his birdies and pars. Markel, somewhat off form the last couple of wpeks, may find himself today at North Hills.

Hoffman hasn't had much th's season, confining himself wtek end golf, but he should ma'ie a good showing. There will be 67 professionals and three amateurs competing for the eight places. The national open will be played this year at the Oakland Hills Club. Birming hamton, a few miles from Detroit. Only 16 players of the 199 in the Detroit sector will have the privilege of playing in the tourney.

Chicago is second on the list with 15 places for 159 golfers. The New York New Jersey metropolitan district has 12 places and 108 entries. In all 130 players will be picked to play in the open. The exempt list numbers 32, while eight others on the Pacific coast qualified May 17. For the first time, qualifiers in the Philly district are being sent out in pairs.

This means a score keeper will accompany the players. All the pros concede better scores should be made by this method as they can play faster. Yesterday's fine weather brought out hundreds of players on all courses. It was ideal for golf. Despite the intense heat, the divot diggers found themselves hitting the balls a mile on the hard fairways.

At the Reading Country Club, flag tournaments were held for men and women. M. J. Pierce was' the winner in the men's division, with 91 21, 67. Low gross for the day went to that serious minded golfer, "Bucky" i i im a 4 i Spangler with 75.

Bill Barr, who had a 77 the other day at the Riverside, and Russ Bitler, his partner, were feeling rather chesty until they ran against Ed Wagner and Ed Faller in a low and aggregate match. They were down a dozen points at the finish. Now their chins are on their chest. Old "Tee to Green" Boland was out yesterday at Riverside, but the heat was too much for the former Robesonia terror and he wilted before the end of 18 holes. Sixty players participated in the senior flag tournament yesterday at the Berkshire Country Club.

Winners were Harold Lein bach, Billy Lewis, Jack Mumma and Joe Stief. In the junior division, the winners were Wilson Laucks, Sam Loose, Rhuel Baker and Tommy Willson.
