Scoring Threat
n y W. M. STEGMEIER Ml
Seeking their fifth consecu
tive win, Lion courtmen will at
tempt to knotk the Owls of
Temple from their high perch in
the basketball world in Recrea
tion hall at 7:30 o’clock tomor
row night.
As far as Recreation hall games
are concerned the Cherry and White
five will probably be the strongest
competition the Lions will have to
contend with during the remainder of
the season. Temple has a big club, a
fast club, and a good club. The en
tire first string quintet boasts men
towering at least six feet.
Won 10 Games
Out of thirteen games played so
far this season, tomorrow’s opponents
have garnered no less than ten vic
tories. The three defeats were con
tests played on foreign courts., Pitts
burgh dropped them, 43-to-26, and
New York University edged them out,
33-to-31. The Red* Devils had an off
■night when the Plaid of Carnegie se
cured a 38-to-34 victory from them
several weeks ago.
Bucknell is scheduled to meet the
Temple five at Lewisburg tonight.
In the last game played between Owl
and Lion courtmen, State had an easy
time amassing a 53-to-27 score.
Headed by Reds Rosan and Len
Gudd, the Templars boast a squad list
that sounds like a world beater. Ro
san, a forward, is a steady performer
who never seems to get ruffled, and,
in addition, has Norry McFarlane’s
habit of accounting for approximately
fifteen to twenty points a game.
Gudd, is the only four-letterman in
Temple’s history. As a forward and
center, Len has been a mainstay in
basketball for the last two years. In
cidents, he also plays end during
the grid season, and helps out the Owl
track and baseball teams in the
spring. .

has one of the smoothest working

is, simply because, .the majority of
their squad plays the same type of

always will. -
• According; to Temple news l-eloases,
A 1 Liebensperger, a six-foot five-inch
lad, is sure to get the tap. At that
size, we’re almost inclined to agree
with them.-
' The usual combination of McFor
lane, McMinn, Henning, Conn, and
Thomas will start for State. The
Lafayette ~ fracas last week was
enough to convince even the most
skeptical of Coach Leslie’s squad that
basketball teams need plenty of prac
tice. ' The Lions had had almost a

.was' resumed Thursday.

Committee Explains

Tho College’s responsibility to

Committee on Athletics as the rea
son for prohibiting the Lion track
men from traveling by private au

to take their annual part in the
West Virginia games Saturday.
This decision will not necessarily
set a precedent for other sports,
Neil M. Fleming, graduate manag
er of athletics, has intimated. Bad

usually prevail during the season
of spring sports, was one -of the

Definite assurance that the;

tournaments here at the College
came last week from Neil M.

athletics. . .
| Accoi’ding to Mr. Fleming, an in

basketball finals has already been sent

effort is also being mndc-to bring the
annual 'scholastic track meet to New
Beaver field, he saitl.
After .the title court contest in Rec
reation hall last year, officials intim
ated that' the final game would con
tinue to be held here. Although the
financial returns were not as much
as expected, the figures were a good
deal larger than they would have been
in any other location, Mr. Fleming
said.
I If the game 3s held here, the scho

DEFEAT TARHEELS
Boxers Gain 5'A -to-2 J/ 2 Victory
Over North Carolina in
First Dual Meet
Jly CHARLES A. MYEUS Ml
Three Lion boxers, at least, pave
notice Saturday nijjht in the 5Va-to
2drubbing of the University of
North Carolina that they will have
plenty of ammunition ready when it
comes to deciding: champions.
Captain Johnny McAndrews, John
ny Napoleon, and Tom Slusser all
turned in dear cut decisions over
Southern boxers who came North with
fine records.
Napoleon Wins
Johnny Napoleon, with left jabs and
right uppercuts to.the stomach, clear
ly outpointed the undefeated Captain
Levinson'in the first two rounds to
gain the referee’s decision in the 125-
pound bout. Johnny • Miller, in the
bantamweight class, landed rights and
lefts on Ivey, of the Tarheels, to give
the Lions their first point.
A hand injury kept Quarles, highly
touted Tarheel lightweight out of the
lineup, but Raymer was clever enough
to overcomo the aggressiveness of
“Red” Palasin. Captain Johnny Mc-
Andrews showed that he will be ns
dangerous in the 145-pound class as
he was in i:>s, when he beat Lumpkin.
“Mutt” Kessler, in his intercollegi
ate debut, managed to eke out a draw
with Giddens. experienced Tarheel
155-pounder. Tom Slusser evened an
old score by gaining the decision over
Brown, who almost knocked him out
last year, in the 165-pound bout.
Nobel displayed a good style in gain
ing the nod over Parsons, Tarheel 175-
pound entry. Landis, heavy-hitting
North Caroiina knockout artist, could
only gam a decision over Dick Wool
. bert in the heavyweight scrap.
