PIONEER LOOK-ALIKES: Ann Arbor High Track Coach Tim Ryan usually has a pair of twins on his track roster but this year's set, Bill (left) and Don Koch, are, perhaps, more identical than most. One of the two (he said he was Don) was asked to come to The News office to identify the above pair. Don (if it was) admitted afterward he couldn't tell himself from his twin in the photograph until he remembered on which side he stood when it was made. Both fine runners, the twins can be expected to do well in Saturday's regional track competition at Wines Field.

Pioneer hopes of repeating for the league crown will rise or fall with the performance of the hurdlers.

Winner Again: Striding across the finish line, still strong, is Carl Allen, outstanding cross-country man for Ann Arbor High. Yet to be beaten, Allen bettered his own course record by more than 12 seconds yesterday as the Pioneers engaged Ypsilanti and Adrian in a double-dual cross-country meet.
