Embree Inched Out in IC4A's; Crimson Track Squad Chokes

Mel Embree's second-place finish in the high jump at the IC4A Indoor Track and Field Championships at Princeton highlighted the end of a rather dismal season for the Crimson thinclads yesterday.

Seton Hall won the 30-year-old championship with Maryland second. Villanova, the winner last year's IC4A, finished a distant fourth. Harvard scored only four points to finish among the second ten.

Embree, suffering from an injured knee, missed clearing seven feet, two inches on his first attempt, to place second behind Thomas Howell of Rutgers.

John Sullivan in high-jump, and Dan Jiggetts and Steve Niemi in the shot-put, failed to qualify for the finals in their events.

Winners in the meet included;

60-yard dash--Phillip Hazard of Boston College, 6.3,

440-yard dash--Charles Joseph, Seton Hall, 47.7.

600-yard dash--Howard Brock, Seton Hall, 1:09.7,

880-yard dash--Reggie Clark, Williams and Mary, 1:52.2,

1000-yard run--Keith Francis, Boston College, 2:09.2.
