Here are the opinions of local fight
fans on the probable outcome of the
Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing tour
nament:
Hugh R. Riley, jr., sports editor,
department of public information:
"I pick Sammy Donato to beat Mc-
Givern and Criswell is sure to win.
Any one of these three can win:.Rich
ter, Goodman, Ritzie."
Louis A. Bell, of the department of
journalism, former sports editor of
the 'Chester Times:
'"Penn State's winning the cham
pionship depends on Ritzie and ,I
think he will come through, Cris
well and Richter are the other Penn
State bets. :Wastrella . will probably
take the 135 and Jefferia the 165. I
look for a heated third place fight be
tween Army, Harvard, - and Western
Maryland."
Sergeant Jack. Ryan, U. S. A.:
"My selections are Criswell, 115;
Crampton (Harvard),. 125;' Goodman,

"I've got my fingers crossed."
• George A. Scott, city editor, Centre

Best bets for individual champions are

Track Win No Upset;
Just A Surprise
To Dopesters
By JOHN BRENNEMAN
While the victory of State's relay
team at the Intercollegiates Satur
day came as a "stunning upset" to
those who are accustomed to think of
this college as the home of wrestlers,
Losers and Penn State Jessie, to those
of us who have watched the develop
ment of track here under "Chick"
\Verne• it was nothing more than a
pleasant surprise.
Not since Cox, Hates, and Ide won
the in i:e, broad jump, and hammer
throw at the Intercollegiates in Phil
adelphia in. 1927 has Penn State had
either an individual or team champ
ion in either indoor or outdoor track
competition. The last major relay
championship was that won by the
distance medley team at the Penn
Relays in 1928.
of wrestling., and weaknesses of lo
igen! wrestlers. That student is a
heel, and I hope he has the grace
to blush if he reads this.
The cage season just concluded
was one of the most distressing
ever witnessed by Penn State fan
dom. Entry into a tough confer
ence, material at a new low ebb,
and the luck of any cohesive force
made it an impossibility for State
to go anywhere. Where the fault
lies is not in this writer's province
to judge; sufficient to say that an
other such season will necessitate
drastic measures—and that doesn't
necessarily imply abandonment of
our place in the conference.
