BECOMES STIFFER
Updcgrovc Declared Ineligible
In 155-Pound Ring Class
For This Year
Fatted and dulled by the lethargic
effect of a two-weeks abstinence from
drill, tho Nittany Lion wrestlers and
boxers entered into the refining period
of pre-season practice this week.
Coach Charlie Speidel' scrutinizes
bis sweating squad of eighty-seven,
and shouts and exhorts as his nwtnicn
reach for the wrong leg, but always
there's that gleam in his eye as the
competition for berths continues to
rage fiercer and fiercer.
Few Gaps To Fill
With few grapplers sure of posi
tions, Coach Speidel is grooming new
comers to the squad ready to supplant
any of the regulars showing signs of
weakness. There are, however, few
gaps to fill, with only Javo lettermen
from last year's team missing from
tho roll.
Only the 115 and the 165-pound
weights arc left vacant through the
graduation'of last year’s captain, Hoy
Maize, and Ted Reybitz. Ellstrom,
Rosenberg, Turnbull, Captain Mike
Lorenzo, Jackson and Cole, all letter
men, look good in the other weights;
Updcgrovc Ineligible
The ineligibility of “Pete” Upde
grove, classy 155-pound boxer on last
year’s ring team, put a kink this week
in Coach Leo Houck’s attempts at
working out a lineup. Updcgrovc was
a third place winner in both the east
ern intercollegiates and the national
collegiates last year.
•Right now “Mutt” Kessler, from
last year’s freshman team, and Rey
nolds, a junior, arc the chief contend
ers for the vacant 155-pound berth.
Last’ycar Kessler won the interclass
championship by knocking out Wants
house in the finals.
The return of the heavyweight
class to the lineup gives Leo a chance
tc work in cither Dick Woolbert or
Anderson in that division. Dick got
his first taste of intercollegiate boxing
at the national collegiates here last
April when lie took the count from
Doyless Hill, of Tulane, who won the
championship and was the only col;
lege boxer on the U. S. Olympic team.

Higgins Will Propose
Change in Ruling at
Meeting of Coaches
A change in the 1932 football rules
governing the interception of forward
passes will be suggested .to the inter
collegiate football rules committee by
Coach "Bob” Higgins for considers:
tion at its meeting sometime this
month,’Higgins stated .Tuesday.
The suggestion comes as a result
of the “freak” play which occurred
near the end of the Waynesburg game
when Bill Lohr intercepted a Jacket
pass only to have the officials return
tho ball to Waynesburg’s possession
because the ball had been touched by
two Waynesburg players before'reach
ing Lohr. Higgins would give the de
fensive team its choice of retaining
possession after the interception or
returning it with an added penalty to
the offensive team.
Approval of the suggested change
was voiced by several coaches at. the
meeting of the Intercollegiate Coaches
association at New York city last
week, Higgins said. The Lion coach
plans to present his proposal to Lou
THROUGH OTHER EYES
Temple’s second step to acquire ifootball prominence is almost unreal.
Coming at this time when the general'trend toward deflation, truer balance
and better tone is so marked in.the.conduct-of intercollegiate athletics, this
reaching out for gridiron gain, isjas crude as it is absurd.
Pop Warner, whose fame as a constructive coach is nation-wide, is quoted
as saying: "I believe the Temple post to be a wonderful opportunity and. I am
satisfied that I am*bettering my position. ...Ejyery move I’ve made has been an'
advancement.” ; .•. .
All that can be said to this is that Pop Warner is an optimist. He may
accomplish the end of paying off . the indebtedness on the Temple Stadium,
with the help of much recruiting and subsidizing,of promising schoolboy ath
letes, but he will never be able to elevate-Temple to the place in football to
which he carried Carlisle, Pittsburgh and-Stynford, for the simple reason that
games of the kind to'do'it will be lacking,':, (Schedules arc not easy to arrange
these days.
Prominent Eastern colleges which have been correcting athletic evils and
settling to a truer ethical plane will not meet Temple under the forced draft
so plainly being installed. Tempting guarantees may lead to some alliances
which will command enough interest to attract the fans and fill the stadium,
but to pay any dividends the stadium must'be filled a number of times. Temple
football .will bo costly.,
If Heinie Miller, onetime brilliant end'at Pennsylvania, and Bert Bell had
failed to. develop winning teams at.Temple,.one-might sec a reason for reach
ing out for one of the best football toachers in the country. "But they did not
fail. Only one game was lost this' season, only one a year ago. With the
best schedule which could be arranged, they did a good job and brought Tem
ple rather quickly to reasonable recognition.
In view of this, it is hard to draw inferences which do not reflect to the
credit of Temple’s purpose in bringing Pop Warner East at a salary three
times or more bigger than paid to Hbinie M|iUcr. It looks like a plain gamble
in an effort to capitalize on the possible effect of the Gates plan at Pennsyl
vania, which sonic insist will lower the standard of Penn football and alienate
the enthusiastic following which has made football so profitable at Franklin
Field. It looks like a bad gamble to me. :Itis needless to say where niy sym
pathies are enlisted. —George Daley in New. York Hcrultl-Tribune.

Houck Approves Return of
Heavyweight Boxing Class
Lion Mentor Condemns
■ Decision Providing
For .8 Bouts
Boxing coach Leo Houck’s 0. K. can
bo placed on the recent decision of
college ring officials to reinstate the
heavyweight class' after a year’s ab
sence from, eastern college boxing
lineups.
However, Leo is not at all sure that
be is going to like the decision of the*
same officials to have eight instead of
seven bouts in cach dual meet.- The
eight-man lineup has never been used
before here'in dual meets, although a
similar system was used in the Na
tional Collegiate Boxing tournament
which was held here last April.
Eight fights on a meet card will re-'
sulf'in too ’Wny tie matches, Leo be
lieves, adding that the ideal dual meet
set-up is a seven-man arrangement.
Furthermore, eight bouts will make the
meet a long drawn out affair, he says,
and with the addition of the heavy
weight class one of the others should
havc-bcen dropped.
• Tho appearance of the heavyweight
in the college ring will please the fans,
th'o'i! boxing coach believes, since this
bout is always an interesting one and
usually, ends in a knockout. At least,
there is always plenty of hard punch
ing, dnd that’s what spectators like,
he says.
' Current objectors to the heavy
weight class have little ground to
starid’-onj in Coach Houck’s opinion.
Even though the class -is "unlimited,”

This year’s tourney will be the*fifth
intercollegiate boxing meet that has

The first eastern intercollegiate tour

in the first national collegiate'boxing
meet and Olympic trials.
Penn State boxing teams have'suc
