KARJANiS FACES BOSTOCK TONIGHT
!N FIELDHOUSE FIGHT ATTRACTION
The third and decisive fight between Pvt. Jimmy Kar-
janis of the United States Army and Ordinary Seaman
Jack Bostock of the Royal Navy will feature the inter-
national boxing and wrestling card in the squared ring
of the Andrews Fieldhouse tonight. The first bout will
start at 2000 hours.
In their two previous skir-
mishes Karjanis and Bostock
copped a decision apiece
after three rounds of fast
action. Both pack a sting-
ing wallop and can be count-
ed upon to furnish plenty of
thrills before they duck und-
er the showers.
From a prelim to semi-
windup is the reward ac-
corded to Pvt. Red Nichols
of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Cpl.
Danny Delaney of . the RAF
after their rousing scrap a
month ago. Delaney will be
trying to make it two
straight tonight.
Another interesting battle
will send LAC Tom Herli-
ty and LAC George Sutton
of the RAF against each
other.
The poplar RCAF wrestl-
eds, headed by the inimi-
table LAC Roger Pelletier,
will provide diversion with
several grunt and groan
specialties throughthout the
eight-bout program.

third and final round of IBC
basketball got under way
early this week on the floor

feat on the Rangers. Bill
Martin tickled the twins for
22 points for scoring honors.
Fessi whipped the Gripers,
47-25, as A1 Cmaylo and

Penn Hands Army First
Cage Loss In Two Years
Army’s bid to dominate
the intercollegiate football
and basketball picture in the
same sports year received a
rude jolt last Saturday night
in Philadelphia’s Palestra
when Pennsylvania upset
the Cadets, 61-52, to snap a
27-game winning streak.
Undefeated since early in
1943, the Cadets marched
onto the Palestra floor as
the nation’s ranking quint
after their victory over crack
St. John’s of Brooklyn sev-
eral nights before.
Eddie Ivelleher’s embryon-
ic shavetails grabbed a com-
manding lead at the very
outset and enjoyed a three-
point margin at the half, hut
Penn roared back in the sec-
ond canto to register its
stunning upset. The Quak-
ers are currently leading the
Eastern Intercollegiate loop.
In other parts of the coun-
try, Kansas is pacing the Big
Six with six wins, two de-
feats; Rice heads the South-
west Conference with 12
wins, no defeats; and Iowa
shows the way in the Big
Ten with eight wins, one
defeat. Scores:

A.
Sugar Costner’s sensat-
ional string of 23 straight

the first round of their welt-
erweight battle.
Out in Oakland, Cal., in
another welterweight melee,
Chester Slider temporarily
halted Old Man Perpetual
Motion, Hank Armstrong,
taking a teu-round decision.

Memories of Tec Dees!
You think it will never happen. You stumble over lava;
and slosh through muck and mud; you bend in two lean-
ing- against winds and gales; you lie in your sack, gaz-
ing at the ceiling, thinking of home and loved ones, re-
conciled that it will never happen. And then come the
orders to get ready; you’re going home, HOME! It’s fan-
tastic, hard to believe. But you think—maybe, maybe itj
can happen.
You sweat it out at leave camp, and sweat
and sweat. You sweat out the torpedoes, but
trij to appear nonchalant. You marvel and
relax mid the luxuriant comforts of a luxury
liner. You sleep in a stateroom with a ventilat-
ing system and hot and cold running water.
You live as you’ve dreamed to live.
You eat three meals a day, enjoy the snacks in thei
wet and dry canteens. You have movies afternoon and
night. You stroll the decks in tropical climate, still think-
ing it can’t happen. But it is—you’re going home, home,
HOME! Each toss and pitch and roll of the ship bring
you nearer and nearer to those about whom you have)
thought for such a long, long time.
You finally see the outline of land as dusk
begins to settle. You’re blacked out while the
ship ties up, and it is hard to realize that home
is just the other side of that iron wall. You’re
finally allowed on deck — and the first thing
you see is that grand old lady, holding aloft
the Torch of Liberty.
You don’t scream or cheer, just gaze thoughtfully#
Y’ou march off the ship to martial aii*s. You actually;
travel in a train. You start for home. You can’t believq
it; neither can they. But there they are—your loved ones).
—your mother and father, your wife, your sweetheart,
your brothers and sisters. You thought it could neves
happen, but it can. It did!
