have improved in the running
events since the last meet and
the team has a. good chance to
take the meet.
Ed Bush, Frank Rainear, Dick
McCown, and Johnny Dibeler
are expected to win most of Penn
GLite’s points in tomorrow’s con
test.
'Bush, who scored 21 points in
the last meet, will again compete
in the shot put, discus, high jump,
and 120-yard high hurdles. Rai
riear will take part in the broad
jump, 120-yard high hurdles, and
.220-yard low hurdles.
A newcomer, Charley Sullivan
will participate, in the high jump
and high hurdles events. Sullivan,
who is a marine, trainee, has
.shown unusual promise during,
the past two weeks of practice,
Five freshmen' will make the
trip to Ithaca. Coach Harvey is
depending upon Carl Robinson to
capture the quarter mile run.

dents who will face Cornell are
Jim Robinson, Dorris Toler, Neg-
Jey Norton, and George Rutter.
Rounding out the squad are
Paul Smith, Al Goldstein, Dave
Pincus, Floyd Lang,' Hino Tac
calozzi; Dave Pincus, and Dan
Orlich.

State athlete, will again compete

football games in 47 starts during

ed the “V-12 Athletic Night”
wrestling and boxing matches at

jiu-jitsu exhibition by Marine
Pvt. Wilbert Greene, Tulagi vet
eran and former instrutor at Par
ris Island. Pvt. Dick Brennan was
the victim and aggressor. A real
knife was used in the fight.
After Greene had tossed Bren
nan all over the ring, the little
marine ended the match by
knocking out Greene. Although
the ending was framed, the spec
tators enjoyed the contest.

tling matches of the show was a
heated contest between two chief
'petty officers, Ray Gedeon ,and
Bill Sherman, The match was
governed by professional rules
and, was declared a draw; Gede
on put on a sizzling finish after
being thrown out of .the ring by
