desperately to pry himself away from
the octopuS-like arms of Mascia long
enough to make scrap of it. The
moth-eaten axiom which says 1t taxes
two to make a fight never was re-
vealed more poignantly.
In comparative privacy, Scott and
Mascia played a one-sided game OF
patty-cake in which there was about
as much bodily contact as you'd
receive in a game OF double solitaire.
If Mascia is New York's greatest club
fighter you can look for Rudy Valee to
win the world heavyweight cham
pionship most any day.
Spectators started to drop OF To

1t became apparent that Mascia would
attempt to stay the route by hugglng.

out of their peaceful slumber and
those ringworms who suffer with in

The distressing details are not

have it.

he carried the Spartan colors to third
place in the 1929 intercollegiate cham
pionship at Van Cortlandt Park, yes

winning team out of the bag. In ad-
dition, he brought East two 23-year-
old runners who took the two individ-

Led by Kenneth Waite of jackson,
Mich, who finished third a year ago,
the Spartans took first. sixth, ninth,
sixteenth and eighteenth places in the
field of 122 starters. And since Phil

for the individual title only. the last
