That was the challenge tossed
at Ezzard Charles of Cincinnati,
the NBA heavyweight boxing
champion, today by Joey Maxim
of Cleveland after a fifth-round
technical knockout here last
night over Joe Kahut of Wood
burn, Ore., before a sparce gath

Maxim pulled no punches in
clamoring for another crack at

Crippled Cards

Game on Friday
A crippled band of Sacred
Heart Cardinals went grimly
through practice sessions this
week hoping that In juries would
subside in time for Friday's
game against Monmouth to be
played in Salem.
Jim Lancaster, sparkplug oi
the backfield, is out of action
suffering from a mild concus
sion. He may, however, be back
in his fullback spot for the Fri
day clash.
Wally Gibson, sophomore
kicker, is nursing r i b injuries
while Halfback Clark Ecker is
hampered by a bruised shoulder.
In addition to the three back
field injuries, Vernon Daniels,
center for the Cards, is expected
to be out of action for the game
with a leg injury. The injuries
were sustained in the Stayton
contest.

Winner of the fifth Associated

on Franklin field, Philadelphia.
Penn won, 28-7, principally be
cause of a better line. And it
was Schweder who led the drive
of the Red and Blue forwards.
He was in on virtually every
defensive play and threw a key
block on Red Bagnell's 74-yard
touchdown return of a punt.
