Tuesday, March 7, 1933 Between the Lions with The Sports Editor ff we wore Winchcll, we'd start oft today's opus with a half-a-dozen bo . quets for Charlie Speidel and his crew of bone-crushers. In hanging up a eleun-cut, undefeated season, the ! grapplers presented a practical ap plication of the. driving spirit that chamcteriaes their enthusiastic coach. It is safe to say that it is *only- be cause of Charlie’s vigor and the con sequent high calibre of Lion wrest ling teunis that the sport has attain ed the hold it has on students here. While student leaders cannot be Mamed for their efforts to make box- ing meets with service teams as col orful as possible, the feeling that making such meets formal is an un- necessary gesture has won general support among students. We under stand that the formal movement first arose from a misunderstanding of the use of formal dress uniforms at the service institutions. Thus, a preced •ent was set up which has been follow ed, perhaps without reasoning the thing out, in meets since that time. Whether the idea is to be continued or not; should at least be decided by an expression of student opinion. This and That The track boys didn't scare many points, but they sure saw New York Ask Mr. Jackson will make his debut before a Harris- —liUrg fight crowd in an amateur show And it is being : at the capital bruited about that successful man- agerial candidates for "Penn State’s most popular sport” will have to win the post of editor on the college "com-! ■ic” to defend said "popularity” of said sport . , .

Wrestlers Football Practice To Begin Tonight 100 Candidates Vie for Places on Squad With more than one hundred candidates seeking uniforms, spring football practice will begin in earn est tonight with the first regular outdoor drill on New Beaver field. Lack of sufficient equipment to meet the needs of the unusually large squad will necessitate u cut in the number of candidates before the end of the week, Couch Bob Higgins announced Sunday. Ap proximately foity uniforms were distributed last night and the bal ance of the equipment will be issued this week. • Discussion of plays and forma tions to be used next fall occupied the attention of the candidates in three lectures last week. With the start, of outdoor work tonight, Hig gins plans a. thorough drill in the fundamentals of blocking, tackling *ind other offensive and defensive tactics for the squad.

Bob Ellstrom displayed plenty of class in handling the Orange fly weight, Knight. Evidencing a return to foim the wily Nitcany grapple:* took nine minutes to throw Knight. Rosy Rosenberg gave his usual exhi bition of cool, careful and overpower ing wrestling to easily defeat Mike Lavigne, a tough 135-pounder. Cramer Pins Servis The third fall for the Blue and White came in the l*J5-pound eln«s when Bill Cramer took a little over six minutes to pin Sum Servis, Syra cusan. Swede Johnston put on an ex hibition with fast Johnny Docrr. Swede finished with a time advantage over the Oi;angeman of three and a hall’ minutes. ! Dave Ilaight, resourceful and strong 175-pounder put on the most hotly contested bout with Lou Kreizman, but the powerful Lion proved too over powering for Haight, and secured .i two-minute advantage. “King” Cole worked fast after going down in a referee's hold, and by a clever shift got the advantage on the Orange big man, Hordines.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Nittany Nemesis JOHNNY ACROPOLIS ARMY GYM TEAM WINS OVER LIONS Masters, Lektrick Gain Only Points For -State in 52-to-2 Defeat By West Point Cadets Nittany Lion gymnasts found the guns of West Point’s Cadets too strong to be silenced in their dual meet Sat urday, scoring • only two points to fifty-two for the Cadet representa tives. Don Masters and Pete Lektrick were the only Blue and White entries to place in the meet, Masters finishing third in the tumbling event, and Lek trick third in the rope climb.

M. STEfiMKIEK Ml After being Marooned on a 22 score at Hamilton Friday night, the Lions found the Hill at Syracuse just a bit too steep to climb the fol lowing day, and slightly dulled their excellent record by dropping two games in a row. The final count of the Orange game was 44-to-2fi. ißut even though the Blue and White finale was not uite so brilliant as some of the pluying displayed in earlier aSts of this year's basketball show, nothing could dampen our rabid enthusiasm over the excellent home average turned in by the Lions. Seven wins out of eight tries is a record which stands unequalled in Recrca tion hall. The Colgate contest was the tough est one to lose so far as the Lions were concerned. The Lesliomen lead the Maroon at one time in the second period, :28-to-28, but Johnny Acrop olis and Whitie Anderson promptly, let loose, a barrage of baskets which swamped the Nittanymen and defin itely decided the game. McMinn Stars McMinn was outstanding for the Lions in the Maroon game. Through out the contest he was a constant scoring threat; before the end of the forty minutes of play he had accumu lated fifteen points. For the Maroon, Anderson gaiped an individual count of fifteen points while Acropolis fol lowed close on his heels with thir teen. In the contest with Syracuse Satur day night, the Lions were obviously outclassed. Single-handed, DeYoung, the Orange forward flash, accounted for almost half of the entire score of the winning club. He rang up five iield goals in the first half, and count ed nine out of eleven fouls. Henning played an excellent game for State but he was disqualified at the start of the second half on too many per sonal fouls. ! Marking his first appearance in a uniform since the Penn game at the beginning of the season, Captain Walt Moser saw active service in both contests.- Walt had resumed practice ♦workouts with the team last week; Lions Blanked in IC-4A Track Meet Jackson Advances to Semi-Final Race Penn State trackmen failed to score in the annual IC-4A truck and field meet in New York City Saturday night against leading col legiate track teams in the East. Jackson, Lion high hurdler, reach ed the semi-finals in the 70-yard high hurdles, only to he eliminated in that heat. Other Nittun.v track men competed in the two mile run, the 70-yard dash and the high jump. Yale succeeded in nosing out New York University, champions last year, to carry off honors for the meet. Competition was held in the Two-hundred and Fifty-Eighth En gineers’ Armory \Vhich holds the largest and fastest indoor board track in the world.

McAnrtrowe. Slusscr Score Victories Over Cailel Mitmen By CHARLES A. .MYERS Ml With seven undefeated boxers in their ranks, the Cadets of West Point marched into. Recreation hall Satur day night a confident crew. An hour Inter they carried away a surprise 4-to-4 tie administer'd by a vengeful Lion in its last home meet as the omy blemish on their otherwise perfect record. Three undefeated Cadets received their first defeats of the season at the fists of the Lion powerhouses—Cap tain Johnny JfcAmlrews, Johnny Na poleon, and Tom Slusser. Bennett, the fourth Army loser, dropped the decision to lightweight Paul Ferrero when the latter displayed an effective left to lemain undefeated. Heavy Bout Forfeited Penn State’s forfeit of the heavy weight bout was the only thing that saved Army from defeat. In the pre ceding light-heavyweight fight, Tom Slusser had landed hard rights on 'Kendall to put the Lions ahead, 4-to-3. Napoleon-spelled Waterloo for Dick, | unbeaten Avmy bantamweight, when jhe left-jabbed at will, swung power ful uppercuts, and dropped the Cadet | for a nine count in the third round, j Captain Johnny McAndrews nearly lost when he took some terrible wal lops from Hagan in the third round, but his stinging left jabs in the first two sessions nettl'd him the judge's “] decision. Zcleznock Loses Close l'ighl Mike Zeleznock showed unexpected nbility as a boxer when he lost a clone fight to Cleveland, undefeated Army 125-pounder. Although the Cadet probably won the first two rounds, Mike certainly outpunched his taller rival in the third canto. Alex Turnbull, Leo’s new 155-pound find, was the victim of another close judge’s verdict when he staged a slug fest with Cadet Shinkle but lost on the basis of the first two lohnds. “Mutt" Kessler, fighting out of his natural weight class again, dropped tho IGS-pound decision because ho didn’t cover up against Olson’s hard rights.
