Led by the Gonzaga chee1
leader, the Eye Streeters staged 8

The Johnnies turned their JOY tt
gloom, however, when Joe Gala

vities of Jim Giebel to end the
period on top, 21-18.
Chip Collins opened the last
quarter with a tally to cut the
Cadets lead to one point, after
which the Johnnies lost the serv
ices of Joe Gallagher via the per
sonal route. Collins and Smith
the latter O'Brien's replacement
then sent Gonzaga into a 22-2'
lead-the last it was to enjoy.
With approximately a minute
and a half to go, Albert Burch, Sc

But they do not expect any part
of that opposition to come from

$50 much weight is a hard
ship for a good horse. I don't
want any favors, but it should
be remembered War Admiral is
a small horse and 130 pounds
Is a lot of weight.
"The idea that a good small
horse can carry as much as a
good big horse is all wrong"
Riddle refused to admit his
horse would lose out because Of
the heavy impost. It all depends
on how much the other horses
carry when they go to the post,
he said.
War Admiral's handicap is
IA pounds more than the next
horse and "a pounds more than
the lightest entry in the Widener
Cup event.

case as Nagurski, will triumph.
The Chief will pass the time
of day with the front-row Gus
toners, then floor Bronko with a
combination wrist hold and dirty
look. Bronko will miss a few fly
ing tackles and perhaps land in
the fourth row on one of his
flights to the hinterlands. The
Chief, ever thoughtful, will belt
the referee a few on the conk.
Then Bronko will remember that

Chewacki in the end zone and it
