Canzoneri’s foe in a 10-rounder in Philadelphia will be the home-town speedster, Johnny Jadick, who won the and | 140-pound title from Tony a few weeks | ago. Canzoneri’s lightweight cham- pionship will not be at stake.

If I don’t win, who- ever beats me will have to set a world record.” She won five first places—in the 80-meter hurdles, broad jump, jave- lin, base ball throw and shotput— and tied for first in the high jump at Dyche Stadium, Northwestern University, Saturday in qualifying for three places on the United States Olympic team.
