Of all the candidates out for track this spring none have shown enough promise to be counted on •as "Sure" point winners in dual-meet and tournament competition. • Elected co , eaptains for the season, Chuck 'Willing and Floyd Lang were en•Jectect to be the best men in field events,. but Lang will not be around because of scholastic difficulties and Willing has nob come up to expectations int his Specialty, the pole vault; Werner's squad has been handi capped by their inability to prac tice out-of-doors ? but in the next three weeks, the coaches hope to be able to pick a teem which should give some account of th.erri srelgies when the campaign opens withr the Penn Relays late in; April.

Just plain Fred. • The pride of Lancaster possess es one of the most colon:full Dud meteoric careers in the history of the manly art. Fighting during the 20 year period of 1902 through 1922, a decade which saw such greats as Harry Lewis, Harry Greb, Stanley Ketchel, Frank Klaus, jack Britton, M i:c ke y Walker and others. The "rosy cheeked Lancaster Boy 1s Houck was called, became the dandy of the fight mob. MET 12 CHAMPS In all, Houck met 12 world champions during his fighting ca reer, from Welter Champ Harry Lewis, whom he met three times, to the heavyweight ruler "Gene" Tunney, whom he met twice. The third battle with Lewis was a dirig-dong 20 round thriller in Paris, which Houck considers to be his best fight. Lewis, who was then the French champ, lost the title to Leo. • Throughout his career- Leo Houck met champions and near champions and never failed to please. Toward the end of an al ready successful career Houck, in 1922; went to Cuba seeking a match with the Cuban light heavy king, Santiago Esparraguera. The feared Houck was slyly evaded mid matched with a lesser light. But rising to the occasion, the Lancaster battler fought this opponent to a draw, thereby forc ing the Cuban champ into• the ring. Houck knocked him out in the fourth round and was declar ed the Cuban champ. "Leo Houck possessed one of the greatest left pistons to ever to VlSlTsand p w A i V ch iS S ' hop is in spikes again. this season, and Chick is counting heavily on these , rnen developing into good distance runners. , • Paul Smith, captain of the box .inse. team, is expected to make a good showing for himself this sea 'son as one of the team's best point getters. Bill Shuman is probably the ,cinstanding prospect ifor the 440. event. He is the most experienced man on the team. Others who may shape up to be good men are -Jack :Stevenson and Harold Dixon. Mike Garrlbins.ki is back as a weight man and Jim: Sykes will :probably be the top man in the high jump competition this arring. In addition to the above• con tenders for the squad, the follow ing are also working out in Rec Hall and at New Beaver Field: Francis Deutschle; Robert Kritz er, Fred Kretzer, Walter Fallows, Robert Steed, George Cleveland, Bill gurner, and Charles Krug. . Tentative teams and perform ers for the various events have not yet been chosen. Men inter ested in. track can still join in early workouts by reporting to Coaches Chick • Werner or Bob Grieve at Rec Hall.

Latest crimp in Thic i's plans came this week when a prospec tive centerfielder first stringer, Mike Ciramella Was forced to withdraw from college because of illness at home. Ciramella was a veteran of the 1945 team as a Naval ROTC student and , had re enrolled this season as a civilian. Fifteen of the 65' men out for the squad are Naval ROTC men while another 25 are ex-service men. Cocaih Thiel and his assistant, Paul Ameel are looking forward to a top-notch season since pre war days when the Lion lacrosse team was always one - of the best teams in the East. Although the squad is loaded with veterans, the same is true with most of their opponents. Thiel. has announced that: prac tice will beheld at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon.

The . past season, Houck's 24th, was the Era 'Mine during his coaching career that one of his teams failed to cop a dual meet.
