Alfred C. Blozis, son of a New Jersey laborer, stands 6 ft. 6, weighs 250 lb., is a perfectly coordinated strong man. During last winter's indoor track season, Blozis, a Georgetown University sophomore, cracked a world's record almost every time he picked up the iron grapefruit. In six indoor meets, he put the 16-lb. shot 36 times. Nineteen times he bettered the world's record (53 ft. 1½ in.) set by Louisiana's famed 300-lb. Jack Torrance. A half-dozen times he chalked up 55 ft., once...

...weeks ago, in the Penn Relay Carnival, he started out creditably with a 55 ft. 5⅜ in. toss that broke the meet record by almost three feet. Last week, in the Intercollegiate A. A. A.

Three all time greats will perform in the Stadium, pits and on the Stadium cinders. Georgetown's gargantuan Al Blozis, a Sophomore, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall and who weighs 240 pounds, and has a well nigh perfect physique, may develop to be one of America's greatest weight men. He already holds the American record in the 160-pound shot put at 55 ft. 10 1/2 in., and he may break this record, the I.C.A.A.A.A. record, and perhaps Jack Torrance's World Record in the Stadium pit, which this week has been enlarged to accommodate Blozis...
