Thinclads Will Duel
Undefeated Cadets
The Nittany thinclads will engage the Cadets of Army
at West Point tomorrow in their last regular indoor meet of
the season
In their only other indoor appearance this season the
Lions looked impressive in placing second to Navy in a
triangular meet at Annapolis. The
Lion boardnien swamped the
Middies and Pitt in the running
events, taking six out of a pos
sible eight firsts. But they didn't
fare so well in the field contests,
garnering only two of 20 possible
places
The came type of situation holds
true for the upcoming contest
with Army.
The Cadets are undefeated,
with wins over Manhattan, a per
ennial track powerhouse, Har
