Friday, February 24, 1933 Between ! the Lions with ji JThe Sports Editor The best basketbairteam Penn State •has had in years will close its home schedule tomorrow night. Despite y the disadvantages Imposed by a short ’’and late-starting schedule, the usual •ichange in playing system necessitated by the advent of a new coach, the. loss qf an inspiring and talented leader early in the season,'the lack of a suf- ficient number of suitable opponents, -and the dying basketball spirit that! 'had prevailed.here as a result of years ,of mediocre quintets, this 1933 Lion five Has already set up a record which has gone far to re-establish basket- Tjall on the high'plane it once existed; v Credit for this feat rests on the shoulders of no one factor or individ ual; rather, a combination of happy has spelled success. In Spike •Leslie, a coach has been found who can not only use to the best advantage _the material on hand but can develop new material if necessary. Too, the jmusual ability of at least fbur mem- ( jjjers of the starting quintet and the i|nc development of the fifth man , have played a big part. And finally, o<qr, spirit of-sticking behind the team {.which has been reborn this year among Penn State sports followers has played an important role. At any rate, regardless of causes, the results obtained have been highly satisfactory. Victory tomorrow night over the strong Tartan invaders and success on the final road trip to Col gate and Syracuse next week would make even the term “highly satisfac .,fpry” sot-m grossly inadequate. i,Director Bezdek’s plea for the aboli tion of the outbreak of booing that has marred recent athletic contests is one that should meet with a sincere and ‘voluntary response from, every Lion rooter. 'While it is fine to see that such enthusiasm prevails for our teams,, there are certainly less puerile methods of expressing this backing! Certainly, if athletes who are right in the heat of battle can act in a sports manlike manner, it should not be ask ing too much of non-contestants to display the same reserve. • That, this unexpected revival of •••/jeering can be extremely embarras sing was proved to us quite forcibly just last week. After listening to members of the Temple basketball '“team describe the booing and poor .spirit at a neighboring institution, we assured them quite proudly and sin ccrely that that was one thing they could be sure wouldn’t happen at Penn State. .After the-particularly bad out break -that'! occunffctfj at' that | very game,* we' would have 1 heeded' several carloads ofjMurads,ftfr.fact*£fhem -again with anything approaching the needed nonchalance. +' ♦ + It isn’t a custom of ours to stray very far from , the folds of Mt. Nit tany for material, but this, tale ,of Syracuse and Colgate which was em blazoned across the front page of the Syracuse Daily Ornnyc just demands airing. Two Syracuse youths, it seems; strolled over to neighboring Hamilton on some sort of desire to see the world. While looking around the ,campus, they wete accosted' by .a' g/mtjeniajrii who *pff<lred arouH’d ‘ M Finding out . this gentleman was the Colgate swimming. coach, they decided to “string him ajong” and recounted tales of being two amateur swimming champs looking around with the de sire of entering Colgate if they could find some way of financing them selves. Their genial host rushed them over to the nearby Maroon tank, and, after gaining several glimpses of their aquatic prowess, hurriedly of fered them scholarships if they would matriculate 'at Colgate. You can imagine the joy that reigned at Syra cuse when, the “boys returned ~to the Hill and related this story.’ And you can also imagine the consternation of •the Colgate poach when he' found out that both boys had swum against his freshman . team with the' Orange . yearlings!- . ’ . BOXERS ORANGE RINGMEN WILL TEST LIONS Visitors Boast Strong Team—Wertheimer, Moran Return Committee Requests -Jeering ’ Elimination Noticing. a marked increase in the amount of jeering by specta tors at athletic contests, ,the execu tive committee of the School of Physical Education and Athletics has requested students to keep in mind Penn State’s reputation for good sportsmanship. “Unless students refrain from the practice, the College is in dan ger of losing the excellent reputa tion that has been associated with Penn State/’ Director Hugo Bezdelc •said. “It'would be futile to do any thih'g but recall the matter to the students, themselves. I still have faitVin their loyalty to our insti tution,’’ he added; By CHARLES A.

A team of five men will represent the Lions in the six events scheduled, with, all but Pete Letrick, whose spec ialty is rope climbing, taking part in more than one event. Captain Martv Hesch will compete in the parallel bar, high bar, and side horse events, while Chuck Horstick and Don Mas ters are slated for duty on the mats, flying rings, parallel bars, and high I bar. Bill Thompson, who will'enter the tumbling' and side horse competition, and Ed Hoffman, who will complete a, quartet of Lion representatives in the parallel bar event, are the others list ed for action tomorrow. '• Hesch, Hoff man, Horstick, and Thompson are the veterans of the team, "having won let ters last year. Although Temple has been defeated by both Army and Navy gymnasts this season, the Owls hold a 28-to-2G triumph over Springfield College and rank as a heavy favorite over the Lions tomorrow. out of seventy-four-amateur'fights be fore entering college. Unless Frank Nebel gets rid of his cold, Harry Balthaser will probably see ring action against either Negroni or Vavra in the 175-pound bout. THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN ’36 FIVE iTO PLAY EXTENSION SQUAD Will Oppose Wilkes-Barre Passers At l O’clock This, Afternoon- In Recreation Hall Meeting their first college cub t team in an official contest since the organ ization of their quintet two years ago, Wilkes-Barre Extension School pass-, ers will oppose the freshman courtmen in Recreation hall ..at 4.o'clock tomor row afternoon. With the Loebs-men eager to atone for their recent bow to Wyoming Seminary, the branch school quintet is prepared to face its stiffest com petition to date. So far the Wilkes- Barre combination, which copped the extension school league title last year, has turned in a majority of victories against independent teams. I Coach Ray Leudor jwill bring a squad of ten men here to face the first year five. His starting line-up will | include Watkins and Lane at forward i berths, Schleicher at tip-off, and Moore and Blaum at defense ; posts. Re serves include Martin, 'Murdock, Sa doniek, Warchal, and Giermack. Practice sessions have been extra stiff for the freshmen during the past week in an effort* to'recover the"form which was lost at the opening of the Wyoming contest. The regular quin tet composed of Sutliff, Scott, Riley, j Knapp, and Andrews will start tomor row. CAMPBELL *3O OFFICIATES Paul R.

ROSBNZWEIG 'U Looming-on the horizon as the most dangerous obstacle confronting the Lion, wrestling team in its march to new heights this year, a rampant Red array of grapplers, strong, cautious, and shifty, will come to grips with “Cheerful” Charlie’s matnien on the shores of Lake Cayuga tonight. ' Cornell, inexperienced and with only two of last year’s regulars on the team, opened its season against Le high last week, losing to. the intercol legiate champions by a 19-to-Jl score. With the Lehigh battle serving to re-' fine their style and to dispel, the un-! certainty that attends a group of,, novices, the Ithacans will be prepared' to show up as the toughest opposition to the Nittanymen this year. Lorenzo To Battle Bancroft Wrestling science plus ultra will be the dish for the spectators when'Cap tain Mike’ Lorenzo locks horns with Bancroft, the Red “Bellowing; Bull,” in the 165-pound class. . Bancroft, Cornell’s captain,-was intercollegiate champion in 1929, when he wrestled for Oklahoma A. and M., where the grappling art reigns supremo. Con sidering Mike's display of class, though, we.'re inclined to expect the “Bellowing Bull’s” horns to be locked. Caution will meet caution when Ros enberg grapples Hurwitz in the 135- poundweighty The Ithacan was bare ly beaten by Dalling, intercollegiate; champion, last week, and since he wrestles in the same defensive style as Rosenberg, the Lion will, have his hands full. In. the 145-pound' class Cramer meets Cornell reli able, Richardson, whose lack of ex perience this year should give Bill, a close edge. Dißito is slated to go to the .mat with' Raycraft, a tough newcomer, i while Bob Ellstrom wrestles one uf | Cornell's real finds, Lamberti, a clever and shifty 125-pounder. Howie John ston, versatile Lion injured last week, will return to the 155-pound class and should not encounter much trouble in Hildt, of the Red. In practice this week Johnston es tablished his supremacy beyond any I doubt, beating out the tough competi tion of Pete Fletcher and Bub Byers to gain his post. ■ In the 175-pound class Lou Kreiz man ir. pitted against Russell, an un known quantity, while “King” Cole meets Spellman, a 210-pound grappler who gets around with remarkable swiftness despite his weight. In the Cornell team the Lions are meeting a strong defensive organization, and the undefeated Blue and White mat men will have to work hard to keep the slate clean. T CARNEGIE TECH Nittany Basketeers To End Home Schedule Tomorrow Tartans Will Oppose Temple at Philadelphia Tonight—Co-Captains Smith, Fergus Pace Pittsburgh Quintet «>• W. M. STBfiMEIKIt \3I Nittany Lion courtmen will make their farewell bow to Rec reation hall Spectators at 8:15 o'clock tomorrow night when they meet the Plaid five of Carnegie Tech. On one thing seems to hang the whole game: What will Penn State’s high scoring aces, Norry McFarlane and Ed McMinn, do against Co-captains Bobby Smith and Jim Fergus? This last Plaid gentleman has the unique record of permitting his particular opponent no more than one field goal per game throughout the last two seasons without ever being forced out of play on personals. The other Tartan star has averaged ten points per game in nine contests played. But then the Nittany eourtmen also have a few records of whieli they may boast. Nome now lias an average of twelve points a frame while Ed follow?; closely with nine. Either a Plaid or a Blue and White record mu<t fall. Personally, we can’t imagine either of the Macs being satisfied with one field goal.

WRESTLERS WILL MEET IX PRELIMINARIES TONIGHT Preliminary, bouts in the intramur al wrestling tournament will enter the final stage at 7 o’clock tonight when •grappiers in the 125, 135-pound, and unlimited classes meet for their first matches.

Tomorrow’s game is included in the only extensive road trip the Skibos will take this season. The Plaid five was defeated by N. V. U. Wednesday night, 35-to-31. Tonight they meet Temple at Philadelphia. The Tech team took the strong Temple five over the hurdles earlier in the season, Bs-to-3-l, but tho game was played at Pittsburgh and the Owls were not. doing so well as they are now. Like Temple, Carnegie has a team made up of individual .-tars who would go far on any team; un like the Owls, however, their players not always click together as well as they might. \\!£ Take i ® lime Out!” BETWEEN classes or Into at night there's nothing like a howl of Kellogg's Rice Krispies to pick 'you up.
