Greeno has been importing a sterling crop of middle distance runners, so many good ones, that like to swap a few for one or two sprinters and some fieldmen, notably in the pole vault, shot put and discus.

Struebing and Jones had a hand last season in setting three Wesleyan school records in the 880-yard run, one-mile and two-mile relays. Aiken was the best long distance man in these parts. None of these youngsters, nor the two standouts Woody brought in this year, start their training a month or two before the track season opens. It begins with the fall country schedule.

men are always in mid-season form when the track campaign begins in March. 9:53.6 in the two-mile and Jack 1:56.8 (upsetting Ricardo Bailey) in the NIAC indoor championships last spring attest to that.

The sophs have already proven they can run. Graham set a school mark of 1:53.8 in the 880 run last spring.

He and Struebing were on the record-setting 3:20.2 mile relay team and on the two-mile group that streaked to a 7:43.9 in tils Doane Relays. Newcomer and Krejci have to be told they can pick up and lay down. Lee won the state Class cross-country title twice and copped that mile run as a junior. He had a broken foot in 1969 and run much.

There were some harsh things said with the Vikings feeling they were somewhat by the officiating.

Therefore, head coach Kenneth Gibler started i psychological warfare treatment on the Plainsmen early this season before visit Saturday to Marshall, Mo. for the sixth game in the series between the two. Opponents normally trade game films with each other, but Wesleyan exactly get its worth this week. NWU head coach Harold Chaffee sent the Plainsmen film on the Austin College game to Gibler and in return received the footage from a Missouri Rolla tilt. There was only one problem as noticed by NWU assistant Ron Bachman.

The Missouri Valley film was mysteriously spliced where Rolla made its touchdown drives (three), making it difficult to determine what the flaws in the defense were. Despite this censorship, troops should be up to the challenge on offense and defense as they carry a 5-0 record into their second straight road game. Missouri Valley is 4-1, with a 21-7 loss to Rolla sandwiched between victories over Central, Mo. Methodist (43-16), College of Emporia, Kan. (36-0), Missouri Western (47-17) and Tarkio (17-3).

Stram said in a statement he traded Garrett for three reasons: 1. Garrett has said this will be his last season of pro football and that next spring he will pursue a major league baseball career.
