Declaring that Penn, which Is

OF the meet--possess teams too
strong for him--Coach John d.
O'Reilly has pinned his hopes in
beating out New York y. and
Yale in a three-cornered battle for
third place.
Admitting that he would be
shooting at nothing less than the
championship If his ace Sprintct
Karl Wildermuth, only were In
shape to compete, Coach O'Reilly
has altered his outlook since an
injured thigh muscle has def.
r1itely rendered Karl out Of 1t.
Most of GeOrgetOwn's hopes
for finishing as well IS third
rest largely upon the broad
shoulders Of Leo Sexton, all.
around star, who will compete
in three events, in all Of which
he should score well.
Sexton is entered in three
events, the 35-pound weight
event, in which he is the defend
ing champion, the high Jump and
the shot-put. Despite the classy
field of competitors whom he
will face, Sexton has chance to
become a miracle man by cop
ping all three of them. This
would be an Herculean accom-
plishment, but the big fellow is
capable of it. If he should 10
this then Georgetown certainly
will be In the reckoning for the
championship itself, for 1T figures
to score in both relays and may
pick up some odd points in
several other events.

Supporters of the Blue and
Gray relay teams think that both
the one mile and two mile fours
will take a lot Of beating. This
is particularly true of the two
mile team of Jay Julicher, Mara,
Downing, and Kelly, which Is
capable of doing under min
utes by at least or 5 seconds.
Anything may happen in the
one.mile relay. While Holy Cross
by virtue of having the best time
is the favorite, yet Dartmouth,
Syracuse, Harvard, and Yale as
well as Georgetown all figure.
Racing luck may have a lot to
do with determining the winner.
There will be only five or six
finalists after the trial heats and
the team with the greatest re-
cuperative powers should win.
And Georgetown'S quartet OF Car
lin, Ricca, Burke and Briggs, has
the power and stamina to run
two crack races within an hour,
which is required, Coach O'Reilly
says.
Don't be surprised if Nor
ris Lerner doesn't pick up a
point or two for Georgetown
in the 7O-yard dash. This
race figures to be q mighty
'Open" one. Jimmy Daley, Of
Holy Cross, Is the only
''clasS" runner In II since Will
dermuth, who licked him six
times this past winter. is out,
and Lerner may surprise. He
also is entered in the broad
jump.
Lew Parlette and Slezak are
entered in the 35-pound weight
event and the 16-pound shot.
Neither one figures to have more
than a scant chance for either
a fourth or fifth place. Both
have shown pretty fair form in
recent workouts and a good ef-
fort by either may find him
among the point-earnerS.
What is true of Parlette and
Slezak in the weight events also
goes for Georgetown other two
entrants in the high jump besides |
Sexton, Bernard Bonniwell and |
Don Canning. Both can clear
six feet, and if either gets "hot"
in this uncertain event, he may
cut in on the point division.
Erik KjellstrOm, in the 10
yard hurdles, is GeOrgetOwn's
remaining entrant in the in
dividuaI tests. And Erik may
prove the surprise of the meet
by defeating Sol Furth, New
York us stellar timber-tOp-
per, who is the admitted ia
yorite.
one of the most interesting
sidelights of the meet will be
the battle for individual scoring
l1onors within the battle for the
team championship. Barney Ber-
linger, Penn's great star; Sol
Furth, of New York u, and Sex
ton are expected to stage a pretty
three-way duel for this distinc-
tion, with the odds fayoring Ber-
linger, who is Penn's main rel-
ance for garnering the champion
ship because of his great all.

will meet in the high jump and

Berlinger will be in the pole vault
