Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
Tomorrow night’s cage contest up
at Recreation hail, the importance of
which has been lessened by the poor
record of the visitors to date, will at
least be a good determinant of one
vital question that must be answered
before any serious hopes can be main
tained for- the Lions’ court success
this year.
That question is: Can a quintet be
organized from the available material
i>l -. which will at the same time be ca
nf pable of getting the tap-off and play
• "ing a smooth floor game?
The failure to answer this question
. in -the games already played can be
'‘•-charged to the period of experimen-
tation granted to be necessary at the
* beginning of the season, but, with a 1..-
..-- hiost one-third of the schedule already
played and the serious-threats around
the corner, it seems that it will have
? to be answered tomorrow night. If,
the same combination that saw
most of the service last Saturday, the
Lions can present a passing game
greatly improved over that displayed
against the Terrors, Army and all our
other formidable opponents can ex
pect plenty of opposition.

With high school fives throughout
the State seriously engrossed in
: league competition, it would seem
oiithat it is not too early for the Col
lege to start action toward bringing
: 'the P. I. A. A. State Championship
finals to Recreation hall again this
year.
As far as we know, both the scho
lastic association and the College
were highly satisfied with the way
'' the game was held here last year.
To the student body, making Penn
State the site of the game presents
an opportunity to see the two leading
scholastic quintets from over 600 in
a hard-fought struggle for the highly
coveted State court diadem. And the
game is. not ail; the. spectacle the
. teams’ thousands of followers present
; makes the occasion a colorful one.

Lions Seek Second Straight
Victory Against Presidents
M. Lieber, High-Scoring
Forward, Leads
Visitors
By Wm. M. STEGMEIER ’34
Once again the Lion courtmen will
1 stack up against opposition of doubt
ful quality. When the referee sounds
■ his whistle at 7 o’clock tomorrow
night in Recreation hall the Nittany
five will meet an overworked team that
has lost the majority of its games
this season—the Presidents- of Wash
ington and Jefferson.
However, the wearers of the' Red
and Black have been meeting some
unusually stiff quintets. Included on
their schedule are Pitt, West Virginia,
Duquesne, Carnegie, and Bethany. Of
these teams, Tech, the Mountaineers,
and Bethany have already earned tri
umphs by fairly safe margins.
In spite of the W. & J. scores which
seem to indicate that the Lions will
annex their second consecutive victory,
Coach Leslie’s basketeers are not ov
erly confident. The main reason for
this being one Maurice Leiber, the
famed Prexy forward who insists on
scoring no less than fifteen points a
game.
McVickers May Play
Only the powerful Plaid team of
Carnegie Tech flashed a defense cap
able of bottling up Maurice, so it
looks as though Conn and McMinn
will bo kept busy. Another reason
which demands caution on the part of
tho Lion is the reputation the Presi
dents have for developing teams that
have what the visitors’ scribes term
u tho traditional fight of old W. & J.”
Headley is, the man who will pair
off with Lieber on the offense, while
Post, a newcomer to the squad this
ytav, will attempt to get the tap-off
for tho visitors. At the guard posts,
Rittersbaugh and Ercius, both Red
and Black gridmen of the past sea
son, will oppose the Lion forwards.
Although the first-string berths are
pretty definitely decided, Johnson may
replace the guards and McVickers will
likely get into the game at a forward
position. Incidently, if this last-men
.tioned eager.-resembles.his brother,
Norm,' who captained the Cion passers
several years back, he’ll bear a lot of
watching! . <•
Center Position Undecided
Tho status of the Nittany lineup
remains unchanged. McFarlanc,
Thomas, Conn, and McMinn will start
at the forward and guard positions
with either Wittum or Henning tak
ing the responsibilities at center.
If Post, who centers for. the Red
and Black, resembles what his name
implies, Henning will probably get.
the pivot assignment. But if he is:
within average reach, Spike will prob
ably use Carl Wittum. Wittum plays
a good, fast defensive game which
helps a great deal, according to Spike.
For the Presidents, the Recreation
hall encounter is the climax of a
week’s' schedule which included four
games. Tuesday night, Bethany de
feated tomorrow’s opponents, 40-to
-25, while Juniata and Bucknell were
the other, schools which they played
this week.

Pushes Ellstrom
By B. H. ROSENZWEIfi Ml
“Up to your knees and try again,”
seems to be the general cry down on
the mats as one wrestling luminary
after another is pulled down a notch
under the strain of competition from
Coach . Charlie Speidel’s world of j
strength in reserve material. j
Though tricky as ever and chock
full of experience Bob Ellstrom is be
ing pushed., hai’d for the 118-pound |
berth with Seeley, , a senior, ready, to i
come through, and Deßito, budding j
sophomore furnishing more opposi-l
tion. '
May. Shift .Ellstrom
Unless.'Ellstrom- is shifted to the
12G-pound .class; his-post last year;
the position for .the first meet may
fall to either. Eisenman, a clever
though inexperienced junior, or Clayt
Cramer or Ross, both promising sec-;
ond-year men.. i
In practice the other day Shanaman
gave Rosenberg, last year's 135-poun
der, a heavy tussle, and what with
Horvath and Knoebel, both showing
good stuff, Rosy will have to fight
for his berth.
Turnbull in the 145-pound class
is getting the stlrfest of opposition
from Bill Cramer and Charlie may
shift Alex to 155- and Captain Mike
Lorenzo to 165 to give the budding
Cramer a cliance. Stennett, Reiter*
and Civitts lead the reserves in the
1'45-pound class, while Fletcher, John
son, Roe, and lobst, all have their eye
on Mike’s berth.
Bub Byers, a letterman, Rcimcr and
Zimmerman are fighting it out for
■the 165-pound post, while Judd, win
ner in his only intercollegiate match
last year, Coskery, and Berry arc in
front among the seventy-fivers.

LEO HOUCK SHIFTS
M’ANDREWS TO 145
Captain, 135-Pound Titleholder
Will Fight Welterweight j
In Boxing Lineup j
By CHARLES A. MYERS *3l
It will be just plain “Sir. McAndrews
of Penn State” and not “Mr. McAn
drews, intercollegiate champion of
Penn State” when Johnny is intro
duced in the ring this season.
Loo.has pretty definitely dccidcdjto
move the Lion captain and 135-pound
intercollegiate titleholder, up to the
144- berth. When A 1 Lewis,'
145- intercollegiate champion,.'
was graduated last year, the welter
weight berth threatened to be a po- 1
tential weak link in the lineup. But
with • Johnny, there Leo’s worries on
that score.will be decidedly decreased.
Change Natural
All last scaspn Johnny was having
a little trouble in making bis weight,'
and that was one of the reasons he
didn’t enter the Olympic trials and
National Collegiates here last April.
The change puts him in a more nat
ural weight class. [
McAndrews is the second Penn
State boxing captain to give up his
intercollegiate championship and ad
vance a weight. Captain Julie Ep
stein ’3l, after winning the 110-pound
intercollegiate championship in 1621),
moved up a class in the 1030. inter
collcgiates to give Dave Stoop the
chance to win the bantamweight
crown. ;
Injuries and sickness have been
hounding the Lion boxers lately, with
both McAndrews and Red Palasin re
ceiving bad eye cuts in sparring bouts
last week. Johnny’s came in an ac
cidental ring collision with Fax
Reilly, while Pete Updegrove was re
sponsible for Red’s cut. Jim Ralston, 1
bantamweight, was forced to give up
training because of an influenza at-'
tack last week, but is back working'
out again. i!
bouts with the. varsity foil teams of 1
Temple, Lafayette, Carnegie Tech, 1
and Pitt have been made. 1:
