Friday, January 13,1933 Between the Lions with The Sports Editor It’ll be a much sadder but very much wiser pad: of Lions that takes the floor tomorrow night against j? . Western Maryland. If the Penn dc jj bade proved anything, it showed that the team- cannot sacrifice the tap, r. even for the benefit of smoother floor work. Henning’s entrance into the ~ game marked the end of the Quakers’ domination of the tap-offs and con- sequently changed the complexion of things considerably. From this point ' on (when the score was -already 28- • to-4) the Lions hung up twenty points to Penn’s fifteen. But unfortunately, they still count first halves in most ball games, and the Red and Blue walked off with another victory. Aside from this lesson, it seems it would be best for the Lions to forget all about the, experiences of last Sat urday. The schedule still lies ahead, and there are plenty of tough games around the corner; a new start against Skip Slahley’s Terrors would provide the necessary zest for the Army, Car negie Tech, Colgate, and Syracuse en counters yet to come. + +' + Nothing in recent years seems to point so conclusively to the near for mation of an Eastern football confer ence than the recently announced Prin c e 1 0 n-Dartmouth, Harvard- Princeton, and Penn-Yale schedulings for the 3934 season. The main point on hand, however, is where will Penn Stale stand if such a group, consist ing of possibly twelve of the tradi tional leaders of the East, becomes a reality? If the conference is formed, align ments of the major colleges in the East will fall definitely into one of two classes—those new institutions weak in color and tradition whose subsidized football elevens, however, attain national prominence and this new group of a dozen or more of the old traditional leaders, whose com mon athletic ideals must stand as a worthy recompense for any .loss in gridiron skill. There is no doubt but that our ath letic policy, discarding subsidization and over-emphasis, throws us inevit ably with the second group of insti tutions. There can be no doubt, either, we believe, that such a confer- , i( enee would bo a life-saving solution ■ to the present financial problems of Penn State sports. But we feel thati \ the very fact that the name of this] institution has received no mention in press rumors is an ominous sign that, |j the fact that the present ath ' letic organisation here is one of the ‘Sr-.:r''7nost sincere and was one of the first the East, other schools, whose are not quite so clean nthletic & ally, are being considered first. -3 Such an attitude, if it'does exist, would be directly opposed to the ideals & this group hopes to foster. It would 3? reward the pioneering, crusading athletic spirit here with an athletic & ap*solitude so complete as to be tragic. $+ + + $ Cornell’s dropping of all sports but basketball for the remainder of the tjj college year leaves the wrestling team !jr deprived of its only away-from-home $ -engagement.

M. STEGMEIER *34 Captainless, and sadly handicapped by injuries, the Nittany Lion court men will attempt a come-back at 7, o’clock tomorrow night,when \Vest ern Maryland’s Green Terrors invade Recreation hall. Definite word that the L;on leader, Walt Moser, had sung .a quiet and unobtrusive swan song to intercol legiate basketball came yesterday when physicians cautioned him against any further strenuous activ ity. Moser's old and recurrent knee injury became worse after the Penn runaway last week. He was under the observation of Allentown medical men on Monday and Tuesday. But Moser’s demise, isn’t the only thing that is worrying Spike Leslie. None other than Norry McFarlane has been limping around lately with a ■knee injury similar to Walt’s. How ever, he has not as yet taken to crutches so, with a little nursing, Spike hopes to have him in shape for the starting line-up tomorrow night. Have Lengthy Practices With the exception of Ed McMinn, 1 who is handicapped with badly butch ered bi-peds, what remains of the squad is in fairly decent shape. Ex ceptionally lengthy practice drills, have kept the Lions busy since the beginning of the week. The Blue and White line-up de pends entirely on the size' of the -Ter ror cagers. If the invading five’s pivot man is as tall as the well-known' Bob Freeman, Henning will .probably start the game, while Wittum is fav ored to get a chance to help regain his team’s laurels, • which wilted slightly in the Penn game, if the Ter ror center is not too rangy. Leslie seems to have decided rather definitely on using MeFarlane, Mc- Minn, Conn and Thomas at the other ! positions, but just where they will line up he does not yet know. It doesn’t make much difference, since under the new rules these positions are almost interchangeable, Spike ex plains. Stahley Coaches Terrors Frankly, we’ll admit that we don’t know any too much about the 'West minster passers other than that Skip Stahley ’3O, former Lion luminary, is tutoring* them. -Skip' captained the Nittany cage quintet in 1930 besides earning lacrosse and football letters while here. . The Lions have been meeting the Green Terrors on the wooden way since 1928, and if past scores mean anything at all Leslie.'s five should have little trouble disposing of to morrow’s opponents. A clean sweep of five victories is Penn State’s rec ord in the five games played between the two schools.

Eagerly Push Veterans for Posts By CHARLES A. MYERS '34 R. P. T. C. might refer to Coach Leo Houck’s “reserve pugilists’ training corps" of thirty eager boxers who are sparring every afternoon with some of the -bigger guns of the Lion mit attack. Good reserve material is important in any sport and no one realizes this better than Leo Houck. Consequently, while he is primarily interested in whipping into shape eight good box ers, he-never fails to stop a sparring! bout and point out weaknesses in the style.of his more.experienced men. Ilerasimchuk, this year's intramur al 115-pound champion, and Brutski, who .won the .same crown lost year, are available in the bantamweight class.; • Comet, Cram e/%' Englej and |Strul)le,- ai brother f of- Bill Strublc, LLion 175-pouhci boxer three years ago, can be coupted oh deep the reserve I.

Anderson, Dutton, Gilmore, Lcnker, Lucas, Snyder, interclass finalist last year, and Watkins, runner-up in the intramural tourney, will be on deck in the 135-pound class. And Leo can count on Coccodrilli, Jackson, and Mil ler for reserves in the 145-pound div ision. Deprived of its most important meet of the season by the abandon ment of all intercollegiate competition except basketball for this year at Cornell, the Lion wrestlers face a schedule, devoid of even a semblance of opposition of former years. And this, in a year when the Nittany Lion is slated to regain his former inter collegiate supremacy! Especially discouraging to the team's ambition, since the Red squad was considered as the real test of the Nittany Lion's mettle, there remains only one means of providing the grap plers a schedule worthy of their en deavors—by bolstering the card with a match with either Lehigh, Prince ton, or Yale. , f ... it r,,. ... - i Lehigh Match Desired Varsity • Wrestlers Eligible for 1 Flegal, Morrison, runner-up in the intramurals, and Palasin will prob ably afford plenty of competition for the 155-poun‘d berth. - In the 105- po'und class, Espy, interclass cham pion last year, Hogan, runner-up, and Reilly arc likely to push Tom Slusser for the post he held last year.

ItOSENZWEIO *3l Lehigh, in particular, is to he de sired as an opponent for this year, since the Brown and White is recog nized as the leading team in the East. Resumption of relations with the En gineers is feasible, too, because of the advancement of the Intercollegiates by.one week, thus leaving, an open date for both teams on either Tdarch 10 or 11. As the situation now stands the grapplers have no dual meets away. Since it is only proper to engage at least one adversary in foreign xer riiory State's acceptance of an invi tution by Lehigh for the match would bring together two ancient rivals and would receive the commendation of the student body. • A Lehigh contest, if held in Bethle hem, would see two Niltany wrestlers fighting before a homo crowd. Eob Ellstrom, 12G-pound runner-up in the Intercollegiates last year, and Rosy Rosenberg, twice conqueror of Le high’s national champion, Bishop, while in high school, both were in itiated into the grappling art at Lib erty High, Bethlehem.
