Last Year’s Winners Strong Penn State's chances of placing high depends upon the way the points are distributed among the contestants Last year’s titlcholder, the University of Southern California, possesses se\- eral great stars in Bud Houser, who holds the world's discus record and has approached the shot put maik on several occasions; Lee Barnes, the Olympic pole vaultcr, Leighton Dye, intercollegiate high hurdle champion, and Kenneth Grumbles, intercollegiate low-hurdle champion. Should Yale’s pole vaultcr, Sabin Carr, prevent Barnes from capturing that event, and should Captain Mooic repeat his 1924 victory in the huidlc«, Penn State will offer a serious menace to any team with title winning ambi tions Coach Cartmell, while not ex pecting his men to win any individual championship and much less the inter collegiate diadem, declares that the Blue and White runnels should place in eight of "the fifteen events If the Lions run true to form Penn State should break the high point mark set bv the 1924 team, led by Enck, Ilcll frich and Moore, which finished m fifth place, only seven points below the winner.

The Kiski tilt is scheduled for four o’clock and the Sjiacusc engagement for three. Few Changes In Lineup There have been few changes in the freshman lineup, although some of the positions are still hotly contested Delp will go back to his right field post from the initial sack in order to allow C. Hadley to cover his regular posi tion at first Delp is still holding his post as cleun-up man and the entire batting order will probably go un changed. Hart, who has been show ing up well m practice, will start be hind the bat and will probably catch the-shoots of Campbell today. - Either Lewis or Shacikoski will start on the moilnd in tomorrow’s game. , Heavy stick-work and a fairly de pendable showing in the field should help to atone for the-lack of a de pendable pitcher against the powerful invaders. Wolff and Delp have been producing extraordinary work at bat in all engagements and arc followed closely m this respect by the entire yearling combine. Out of five starts this season tho plebes ha\c garnered three victories and dropped two by wide margins. The opener with the Slippeiy Rock combination ended in a victory for the s callings but the following encounter went to the Buckncll freshmen who solved Shucikoski’s offerings too eas ily. Wyoming Seminary was easy for the first-year men who collected six teen hits for their win. The freshmen came back after a pool showing a gainst Bcllefonto Academy and took an over-time session from tho Cornell plebes for their last win Satuiday. Who’s Dancing Friday LaVie—Chi Phi (closed).
