Three Events -Here Paced by long-striding Johnny Woodruff, Olympic champion extra ordinary, Pitt's track team meets State's runners on New Beaver field at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Both a freshman and varsity meet are scheduled fm• this time. Hopes for a Lion victory seem to be based' on an unheard. of thing—a de feat for the undefeated Woodruff. State'fans feel that Pete Olexy is the most.likely man to administer it. Runs Three Races In all probability Woodruff will compete in the 220-yard dash, the 880- yard run, and the • mile run. State strategy calls' for Olexy to shoot the works against the colored star in the first of these three ,races, the one mile run. Pete turned in a nice 9:22 mile down at Navy. At the rate he is improving, Pete should provide Woodruff with plenty of competition. Pitt has other stars: Ryden and Lasky mako up' one of the best hurdle teams in the east. It is doubtful if any of the Lion hurdlers' will be able, to defeat this pair. Pitt strength in the sprints is balanced by State pow ' et: in'the weight events. , Coach • Werder will send out the seine" team that: beat Juniata and Navy, in an • attempt to master the Panthers.
