He had been knocked down three
times, but he got up to win by
knockout. He sat there and said,
How'd I look. okay?" The white
lie answer was. Yes" Five Sec
onds later came another question.
1t was, Did 1 look okay?" That
question was repeated to the same
person at least Is times in five

We don't know if an arena is an
improvement over a street corner.
We know it wasn't in at least one
recent case at nearby country

timore met amateurs from Wash
ington. One local boy was forced
to fight two opponents. They were
amateur bouts, but the boys, in
way, were paid. Yeah, the old ex-
pense account blah covers that one.
Boys will be boys, we guess, so
amateur boxing will continue. But
the Boys Club of Washington saw
the handwriting on the wall a year
ago. 1t delved deeply into the mat
ter and discovered boxing's effects
were harmful to growing youngsters.
Further, it took a poll among the
boys as to theiS preference in sports.
Boxing, it developed, they hated.

Munski Aims 10 Beat
Cunningham S Mark
In Baltimore
Missouri Ace Will Run
In Governors Mile
Other Sturs Listed

John Mmski, 21-year-old son of
Polish immigrants, who already has
fractured four marks established by
Glenn Cunningham, is set to steal
the show at the annual University
of Maryland Fifth Regiment indoor
track meet in the latter's spacious
armory tomorrow night in Baltimore.
Ninth of 13 children, the University
of Missouri junior, who, according
to Cunningham, will be the ace
miler's successor, will head a crack
field of six runners in the Governors
mile, one of the feature events of
the meet which will lure some 425
entries from IS institutions.
Munski will be making his second
trip East, having run a 4:19 mile at
the Millrose games, which was his
first indoor mile on board track
Later he ran Alb mile in dis
tance medley relay at Illinois, as
anchor on the winning Missouri
team.
Two Terps Are Threat.
His best indoor time to date was
last Saturday, when he clipped off
mile in AIT to set a new Big Six
record in the annual Big Six Con-
ference meet, and he will be aiming
to break the Governors mile record
Of AIS set by Cunningham last year.
Munski, however, is slated to re-
ceive stiff competition. Mason
Chronister, Maryland ace, has COW
cred the distance in 4:16.1, and his
teammate, Jim Kehoe. feels he can
trim Chronister. Other entries in
the race are Dave Morrison of North
Carolina, Gerald Tarant of the
Penn A. c. and Phil Graves of the
New York A. c. All have run 4:20 or
better.
Considerable interest also has
been displayed in the Oriole 660. in
which fine field of six also is en-
tered. Kenneth Lyden. fleet George
town freshman, looms as the ia
vorite, but will have to battle such
swift runners as Bill Hendrix of
North Carolina, Jack Harley of
the Lenox Hill A. c., Richard Belyea
and Stewart Reeves of the Penn
A. C. and Robert Condor, unat-
tached. Reeves is a former George
town athlete.
Relay Race Should Thrill.
A thrill is due in the final event,
in which Navy. Georgetown. North
Carolina and Maryland will battle
it out in a mile relay. Maryland
won by whisker last year in
1886, with Navy just inches ahead
OF Georgetown for second place
Georgetown set the record for the
event in 1887 of 1928 and the Hoyas
are eager for revenge for last years
narrow defeat.
Ed Hahnfeldt, who established
shotput and discus marks in the &c"
Club meet here while attending
Bulls Prep, will represent Navy in the
shotput, competing against such out
standing performers as Ed Beetem,
former Mercersburg Prep star, now
member Of the Pennsylvania Frosh
team, and Alfred Blozis, George
town freshman who heaved the 12-
pound shot SO feet as a schoolboy.
Thirty-flve sprinters will toe the
mark in the A. A. U. 70-yard handi-
cap race, while 26 speedsters are
entered in the 1,00O-yard A. A. u.
run.
In all there are more than 42O
athletes entered from 81 institu-
tions, including colleges. schools,
clubs and the 5th Regiment.
Tickets here are available at
