Bess of Army is the biggest ob
stacle in Sopchak's way to a title.
HoweVer, if the Lion sophomore can
get by the cadet in the first round,
he has a good chance of overcoming
the other opposition in this bracket.
Allie Tapman should be able to get
by - Coldbas of Cornell, but we're
afraid if he runs into his
chances of a title this year are nil.
Sorenson should easily overcome
Barksdale of Army and get by the
other opposition to give Syracuse the
title this class.
Goodman 'has only to repeat his
perfOrmance of last Saturday by
beating Shanley of Army. His de
cided improvement and return to
old form in his last two fights in
dicates that he will be able to over
come Zuccaro' of Syracuse. And
that's all Frankie will have to do to
keen his 1:15-pound title.
With only three fighters in the 145-
pound class, Sammy Donato's title
seems assured. Be must beat Bender
of Western Maryland in the first
round and then • bent Mastrella of

Richter should take Siemer of

With a little more trepidation, we're

Olexy, Downey, Frosh
Medley Relay Men
Chances Good
With prospects exceptionally good
for Pete Olexy, Howard Downey, and
a --freshman medley relay team to
place, Coach Chick Werner will enter
eleven trackmen in the sixteenth an
nual indoor track and field champion
ships' of the Intercollegiate A.A.A.A.
at Madison Seare Garden in New
York City tomorrow night.
Pete Olexy, who finished a two
mile practice run in .9:94 last Satur
day, is one of Penn State's-two chan
ces for an upset, according to Coach
Werner. Olexy will compete in the
one and two-mile roes. The • other
man is -Howard Downey. Despite the
fact that Downey will run in . the 600-
yard event against such men as Eddie
O'Brien of Syracuse, Johnny Hofstet
ter of Dartmouth, and Howard Borck
of Manhattan in a field of 5I con
testants, Coach Werner feels sure he
will show up . well:
Composed of Roger Maurer in the
220-yard dash, ..Tohn Kaufman in the
490-yard dash„Dick Win in the 880-
yard run", and Frank Maule in the
mile, will be the first freshman med
ley relay team in three years from
Penn State to enter the I.C. 9-A.
meet.
Bernie Kalmanowicz, fast stepper
who took every 60-yard heat in the
interclass and all-College meets, will
enter his first collegiate competition
in the 60-yard dash. Mike Brown;
veteran shot-putter, and Adrian Mar
kowitz, entered in . the 600-yard event,
will have their toughest jobs, in get
ting in the finals.
Bob Clark, whom Coach Werner
terms "Penn State's best hope for a
13-foot pole vaulter," will also have
his work cut out for him to keep in
the -running. Dave Bauer was picked
to compete in the GO-yard high hurd
les and the 60-yard dash.
for Zazzi to pull a surprise by pass
ing such opposition as Perry of
Princeton to win State's first title in
the meet.
. Jack Light may have trouble with
Becker of Syracuse and the Colum
bia 145-pounder. It's not too much
to expect of him, however, to win
the 115-pound crown after coming
up from 135. Bishop of Lehigh
should 'repeat last year's perform
ance to take the 155-pound cham
pionship. Give Krupa an even break
to come through in the 165-pound
class, even though he has to get by
tough opposition in Emory of
l'rinceton.
Shaffer's title in the 175-pound di
vision seems safe to bet on, but there
is Gifford of Princeton and Harkness
of Harvard , to reckon with. O'Dowd
should have learned his lesson from
Toll of Princeton after losing, to him
in the opening . dual meet of the sea
son: He should not have too much
trouble with Sterngold of Lehigh.
These are the only two obstacles to
a title for the Lion heavyweight.

Victory Over Hoyas Tomorrow May Move State

By WOODROW W. MERIN
After losing a close battle to the Yale cagers, 33-to-31, Coach John
Lawther's courtmen will--meet the Georgetown five at Washington, D. C.,
tomorrow night. It will he the final game of the season and will leave the
Lions in third place in the Conference standing, or, provided Pitt loses to
West Virginia tomorrow night, enable them to tie for second rating with
the Panthers.
State's line-up against the Hoyas will consist of Jack Reichenbach, Joe
Proksa; Mau Corbin, Charley Presser, and Jay McWilliams, provided Mc-

A Light Smoke
' AGAINST IRRITATION-AGAINST COUGH
Marjorie Lawrence says:
"You must have a big voice to sing
Wagner. My favorite role of 'Brunne , .
hilde' in Wagner's `Gotterdammer
ung' is a very exacting one. Yet—
when I am back in my dressing room
after I have finished singing, there is
nothing I enjoy more than lighting
up a Lucky. It is a light smoke—so
gentle—so smooth—that it does not
irritate my throat in the least. I agree
with the others at the Metropolitan
that a light smoke is a wise choice."

Fought Hard
By CILIRLES M. WHEELER. JR
Intramural wrestling supremacy
was decided before a spare turnout of
fans in Ree hall Wednesday night,
most of the matches being hard
fought and well-wrestled.
Champions were determined in all
eight weights, but the third places
will be run off during the remainder
of this week and next week. Ridge

A hard-fought match between

In 'what was considered an upset,
