Javelin Champ, Dave Murray, Here in V-12

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the excitement and confusion of registration over, new-comers have had a chance to demonstrate their prowess on Soldiers Field, and a few have drawn attention to themselves by virtue of their records. Two of these who have written all over them, but who protest strongly to the label, are javelin-throwing Dave Murray of V-12 and Eliot and Freshman slugger Walt Lowell House.

Murray, a big V-12 transfer from Holy has established himself as the men's number one collegiate javelin man. Last spring, after sweeping both New England A.A.U. and Intercollegiate championships, he went to Philadelphia and won the IC4A Nationals, "with the helpf of an ice cold shower," he adds. In the trials he pulled some ligaments, was barely able to qualify for the But then came an icy cold shower, recovery, and the national a 197-foot heave, his best effort .

started throwing the 8 1/2 foot high school at Gardner, , where he also copped the New Interscholastic backstroke title around in the 440." After a Holy Cross, he has been to Harvard as a V-12 physics pinned down for a statement, modestly that he had "a lot about javelin throwing" and of , Crimson Varsity track coach, that "Jaako is who can teach me." The big is working out daily now under one of the country's leading on the javelin. With this combination working together, there is no telling how far Murray will be able to throw when the important track meets roll around next spring.

Coulson, Freshman first-sacker, who started playing ball at the age of nine, stands 5 feet, 11 inches, throws right, and hits a long ball from the port side. As captain of the Lawrence High outfit, he pounded out a merry 440 average over the past two years, was named in his Junior year as all-state first baseman, and in this year, runner-up to Newton's Johnny Recco, recently signed by the New York Yankee farm system. Coulson has played in two all-scholastic state tourneys at Braves Field, but thinks his biggest thrill came last spring against Beverly, when he hit for the cycle, clouting a single, double, triple, and home-run. When asked about college play, he answered that he thinks the step from secondary school to a college diamond is a big one, and that college pitching is particularly tougher. As for pitching, he likes a good, hard, fast-ball right down the middle
