Tuesday, January 24,1938 Between the Lions with The Sports Editor Optimism- insofar as Penn State’s court chances for 1933 are concerned seems to be the order of the day as a result of the Lions' decisive defeat of W. & J. Saturday night. Henning’s improved work at center has pretty well silenced the anxiety so often ex pressed for that important post. And with the solution of the center prob lem, the Lions are in much better shape to wrest victory from a major opponent than they were -on the oc casion of their first test 'at the Pales tra two weeks ago. Army’s value as a criterion of the Lions’ strength has suffered some what as a result of the enforced ath letic idleness at the Point because of an influenza epidemic, but the Cadets iare always formidable. We are look ing forward to Saturday’s game with a. lot of anticipation, for we have- a hunch it’ll be a real scrap, the way things are shaping up at present. They got Charlie Sneidsl in a cor ner up at Recreation hall the other | day and very nearly convinced him • that, as a prelude to the wrestling season which opon3 a week Saturday, He shpuld give a.public explanation ; of the various holds up at Roc hall, with some of his groan-and-grunt boys ns models. We’d like to help Chaidie out of a tight spot, but we’re afraid we, too, agree with the idea. It would certainly give the co-eds' a chance to absorb a little information on the subject, thus relieving long suffering escorts from the pleasure of explaining to the little dears at their sides why the big man doesn’t let the rlitllc man up. Seriously, we’d like to suggest the period between the halves of the Army game Saturday night as! a. logical time for, the public demon-) stration. And we promise to be all! ears, even if'we do know more holds than Strangler Lewis," himself.' + + + We’re told that the “college comic,” whose basketball team was beaten by .the Collegian, 21-to-11, plans a win ter sports issue, probably since the 'exchanges didn’t come through and the . boys had to think of something or iginal. Not that we’re afraid any body’s muscling into our territory, but‘.wo shudder at the possibilities that spring to mind when one thinks of the funny, funny men let loose on hockey, skiing, and tobogganing. As I an example, they’ll probably get a nifty off about being forcefl to bog ganing for a pair of skates. And then, follow that up with a “We’ll be jdciing' you.” Stop us, we’re in stitches.

M. STEGMEIER *3l. Slowly but steadily the Lion court men have been arming themselves with aggrossivo tactics, and fortifying their team, work with a strong defensive bulwark in preparation for some real battles—(Army, Carnegie, Temple, and Syracuse. This was plainly evidenced Satur day night when the Blue and White passers' displayed their best form of the season to down the Red and Black of W. & J. By scoring over a point a minute, the Lions ran up a total of forty-seven points against the •opposi tion's comparatively meagre score of twenty-one. Tho Presidents were definitely “off” on Saturday night; they just couldn't hit baskets. Fortunately for the vis itors, Morris Lieber came through as usual by scoring twelve points or more than half of the total W. & J. count. Tho week’s schedule was entirely tew strenuous for the Red and Black cag ers, the Prexy five losing three games ip. as many nights. McFarlane Scores 13 Points No one in particular starred for the Lions, which fact in itself is definite proof that Conch Leslie's five is be ginning to click a lot smoother as a team. Oddly enough, Thomas failed to score a point, but his floor work and ability to spot plays was a sight for the sorest of eyes. McFarlane again took scoring hon ors with five, field goals and three charity shots to his credit. Norrie’s confident dependability, which he dis played last week was lacking, how- : ever, through most of the game. Mc- M'inn stood next in the line of high scorers with as many field ringers as McFarlanc. Out of only nine free shots at the basket the Lions converted seven into actual counters which is no mean aver age. The visitors got only five points from twelve chances. The score at half time was 25-to-13. Conn Starts Scoring Opening the game, Conn dropped a one-pointer through the netting. Er cius retaliated a minute later by dup . .licating-Doc’s -performance. However, not to be Conn and Henning each split tho cords to bring the score to 5-to-l. McFarlanc followed by talc ing advantage of a couple of foul tries. Throwing a scare into the Nittany five, Lieber opened up and let two tosses fly through the hoop for the visitors.' After these counters, the score showing gave the Lions a mere two-point advantage so the fans be gan yelling for points. A short time-out called 'by acting Captain Conn gave the Ree hall toss ers a chance to take complete stock of .the situation. Regaining their poise which had been dashed rather rudely | to the floor by Liebcr’s aces, the Leslie five came back with five field goals in quick succession: This gave Penn State a comfortable twelve-point margin. Leslie Uses Reserves Morric Lieber garnered a field pointer* and two out of three foul shots while Rittersbaugh parted the strings from the middle of the court a few minutes later. Before the half ended. Conn, McMinn, and McFarlane added several points to the Lion tally: Opponents ’ Scores BASKETBALL Penn—3B; Navy—3l Temple—3l; Georgetown—l 9 Susquehanna—37; Haverford—3s Western Reserve—3l; Colgate—2fi BOXING North Carolina—6; V.

The second half saw the Lions get off to a rather slow start. However, Heyison and . McFarlane crashed through with a couple of pretty shots. Two field goals by Lieber again brought the W. & J. score up a few notches but the President’s hopes of a close game were shortlived. Just a minute later the,Lions started on a scoring streak that lasted long enough to boost the score up as high as 40- to-17. Conn opened the streak with a sen sational goal placed from the corner of the, court. Henning, McMinn, and McFarlane followed Doc’s example with little ' interruption. Completely satisfied with State’s score. Spike in serted a complete substitute team into the game at this stage ,of the contest. With but a few minutes to play, Jack Fletcher and Johnnie Stocker showed that Spike's reserve material is nothing to be sneered at. Wittum made a foul shot good as the game ended. .Wjp L|> _ . # .... .*.l. mat lime, .Jr had just been discovered, and'little was known about it.

Washington and Jefferson Quintet, 47-to-21 LIONS ASSURED OF CORNELL MAT MEET 4 Sophomores Loom As Strong Contenders for Nittany Wrestling Team By It. 11. ROSI2NZWI-IG '2l Assurance by the Cornell athletic authorities last week that the Lion wrestling match in Ithaca, N. Y., on February 25, will not be cancelled holsters the schedule of the Lion grappling squad to a calibre that is worthy of testing the strength which the Nittany matmen arc threatening to show this year. In the interclass meet .Saturday three of the six lettermen on the team fell before the onslaught of up-and coming sophomore, grapplcrs. Al though his defeat by Dißito may be attributed ‘in: part* to ; poor physical condition, Bob, Ellstrom will have no snap in retaining his 118-pound berth. Johnston Proves .Mettle Howard Johnston proved that he will have to be contended with in the fight for the 155-pound position, when he unexpectedly defeated Alex Turn bull, by no means a simple feat. Lou Kreizman, although outclassed by Cole in the heavyweight finals, still remains a probable 175-pounder. • .Eisenman still looks good in the 12G class, while Horvath, another sophomore, in tossing Shanaman Sat urday, .loomed as-fine opposition for Rosenberg in the 133-pound weight. Captain Mike Lorenzo, evidencing ir resistible championship form, estab lished his supremacy among the 165- pounders. In the 145 class Bill Cramer, strong and shifty, took the lead, while Cos kery and Cole are out in front in the 175 and unlimited divisions. Drawing with Johnston in the, interclass finals Saturday, Pete • Fletcher remains a good possibility in the 155-pound class. One of its greatest tricks is the illusion that cigarettes can be made miraculously "MILD" through manufacturing methods. the explanation: All popular cigarettes today are made in modern sanitary factories '.h Inexperienced Army. Courtmen Will Face Lion Five Saturday Paradoxical as it may seem, an in experienced Army cage team will en gage the Lions in Recreation hall this Saturday in spite of the fact that the cadet schedule called for no less than six encounters by this stage of the season. Because of an epidemic of influenza at the Academy, all sports events scheduled at West Point for the past two weeks have been cancelled. The Cadets defeated Johns Hopkins, 28- to-22, in the only Army court contest played this year. Games cancelled so far this season include Lafayette, Georgetown, Penn, and Providence. No definite announce ment has been made as to whether tho Cadets will meet Swarthmore in a game scheduled for tomorrow night. SOPHOMORES WIN I. C. MAT CROWN Amass tf x /i Points To Beat Juniors By Counter—Senior Squad Takes Third Place Compiling a total of 17V> points, the sophomore class team annexed the interclass wrestling title, barely nos ing out the juniors, who pushed them, closely, amassing 16Va points.

Gymnastic Team, Youngest Nittany Sport, Attracts Enthusiastic Squad Two years old, going on three, and next to the youngest of Nittany Lion sports representatives, the gymnastic team is slowly but surely evolving from a large and enthusiastic squad which is practicing daily in Recrea tion hall under the direction of Nel son S. Walkc. Four veterans from last year, led by Captain Marty Hesch, and a like number of promising sophomores are leading the fight for berths on the 1933 varsity. Hesch, as versatile a gymnast as is listed on the squad, is confining his activities to the high bar, parallel bars and side horse this year. Ed Hoffman, parallel bar worker. Chuck Hoi'stick, who performs on the parallel bars, rings, mats and high bar with equal skill, and Bill Thomp son, another entry in the side horse ind fiying ring events, are the other veterans on the squad. All four gain-j ed varsity letters last year. j Coach WaJke is counting heavily on the ability of "Pete” Lektick to win points in the rope climbing event this year. Lektick, although handicapped physically, is by far the fastest man ed up a nine minute time advantage over Waite ’3O, to gain the finals. Cramer ’34 came through with the second junior conquest, throwing Civ itts *35 in the 150 pound division. In the IGO pound group, Fletcher ’34 and Johnston ’35 grappled to a draw after! two extra periods. lobSt ’34, forfeit-1 ed to Lorenzo '33 in the 170 pound! class, while Coskery threw Bitting in the ISO pound division after four min ■ utes and forty-one seconds of grapp ling.
