Special track at Y Stadium ready for meet Bad weather, that nemesis that has stalked and washed out many a BYU Invitational in recent years, will have a hard time kayoing this year's event thanks to the track in the new Cougar Stadium. The stadium's rubberized-asphalt track, which is almost the ultimate for runners will be given a full load of traffic April 23-24. These are the dates for BYU's 52nd annual Invitational Meet in Provo. The new track will be a dramatic dra-matic contrast to the usual "sea of mud and cinders" resulting re-sulting from heavy spring downpours. While there is no guarantee it won't rain or snow this year, the track is designed de-signed with a drainage system that will keep the track in good running condition in the worst of weather. "Our track is everything we hoped it would be," said head coach Clarence Robison, "and a little bit more."

A week later hundreds of junior high, high school and junior college performers will be testing the track during dur-ing the Invitational. Junior high school contestants contest-ants will launch their phase of the meet Friday afternoon. All senior high school boys events will take place Saturday, as will be junior college competition. competi-tion.
