Before the advent of Mr. Gehrmann in the winter track circuit last year--he had previously been concerned with winning tiny, uninteresting dual meets for the University of Wisconsin--Wilt had distance running pretty well monopolized. He had succeeded Parson Gil Dodds as mile king and was proving himself one of the best two-milers since Greg Rice.

This frank and frankly snobbish advertising heralded the advent of a new $2-a-copy quarterly, Gentry, which appeared last week, sponsored by Manhattan's Reporter Publications.
