The race Was a contest from the start between a trio of middle western hurdlers. Desch jumped into a lead almost as soon as the first hurdle was cleared and al- though Pittinger and Hilm of Ohfo Statd pressed him hard during the early part ot the flight, the Notre Dame hurdier continued to clear the hurdles in almost perfect form and, once straightened out in the final stretch, drew away rapldly, winuing by a eomfortable margin, with Pittinger second and Hill third.
