In this episode, AADL Talks with Elmo Morales, owner of Elmo’s T-shirts, currently at 17 Nickels Arcade and previously at a long-time storefront on Main Street. Elmo came to the University of Michigan in 1964 on a track scholarship and has lived here ever since. He recalls his time at U-M; his 30-year career as a physical education instructor with the Ann Arbor Public Schools; how he helped start the Ann Arbor Track Club and turn the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run into a popular community event; and some of his other business ventures over the years.

This trio of track men, Herb Barten (left), Chuck Fonville (center) and Bob Mathias, are among the best in the world at their specialties. Barten, Michigan's great mid-distance runner, won the quarter-mile last night while Mathias, now competing for Kiski Prep, anchored a winning relay team. Fonville, this year's Michigan track captain and world record-holder in the shot put event, is sitting out this year's competition because of a back injury which kept him off the Olympic team and forced an operation from which he is recovering. Fonville is apt to return to competition for the Wolverines next year.
