Thinclads Get Revenge Expansion Marks Seniors ' Tenure at Villanova At Ouantico's Expense by Dan Grove Villanova's Athletic Department invested in an anemometer just in case its trackmen continued flirting with world records, as they did two weeks ago. The wind wasn't a factor though and the mud hardly slowed anyone down as the 'Cat's avenged last year's shellacking by the Quantico Marines. Villanova won twelve out of sixteen events and completely swept four of these to eradicate last year's loss with a 92-44 victory. Budd and White Score Juniors Frank Budd and Hubie White led the 'Cats with two first places apiece. Budd won both dashes in the unbelievably fast times of 9.4 and 20.3 seconds over a soggy track. Budd's victories were sweetened because they came over the Marines' Ed Collymore, the ex-Villanova record holder in both events. Hubie White won the broad jump and the hop, step, and jump. He annexed the former from another ex-Villanova thin- clad, Kent Lydic, with a jump of 22' 1/2". The hop, step, and jump blue ribbon was handed him by the virtue of a 45' 1/2" leap.
