Sulkowski Hopefuls Coach Eddie Sulkowski is seek ing quality among the 30 or more men who have been preparing themselves the past three weeks for a shot at a berth on the Nit tany boxing squad. "We have the quantity," Sul kowski commented, "now we'll see if we have the quality." Light workouts were keeping the prospective ring performers busy before the Christmas holi days, but the heavy work and sparring sessions have since be gun.
