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.

MAROON, SYRACUSE
Lions Suffer 48-to-32 Setback
At Colgate—Orange Wins
*l4-10-29 Triumph
U) WJI. 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

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.
