Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
Tomorrow’s Inactivity as far as in
tercollegiate competition locally is
concerned is just the lull before the
stoini, for next week the annual tor
rent of left jabs and right hooks that
is more commonly known as the
Eastern Boxing Intercollegiates will
be with us. While the fact that the
entry list of some of the schools in
vited has been curtailed lessens the
number of boxers in the fistic spec
tacle, the mews that even non-member
schools are showing an active interest
in the tournament is encouraging.
There can be no doubt but that suc
cessful staging of boxing tournaments
adds greatly tu Penn State’s athletic
prestige; from present indications,
the affair next week, even in the face
of adverse financial conditions of the
present, will be able to take its place
among the Lion ring successes,
Alcanwhiic, that undefeated wrest
ling team of ours is literally chafing
at the bit as it awaits the supreme
test of tourndmenfc competition in
New York next week-end. It has been
a long time since Penn State has had
a championship mat squad, but the
feeling seems prevalent about the
campus that if the boys don’t actually
bring home the bacon, they'll- at least
have been within reaching distance.
Charlie Speidei isn’t saying anything
as yet. But the look of expectancy
that crosses ;his face when the mat
trials are mentioned indicates to us
that he, too, believes there may be a
little bit of glory waiting in the big
city for a lean and hungry Lion.
This and That
Writing in the Colgate' Maroov,
Sports Editor Toni Walsh remarks
that the t Penn State-Colgate cage tilt
“was a little rough in spots, perhaps”;
. . . This should be news to Spike Les
lie and his court Lions . . . And also,
we understand, to the referees . . .

LION MIT
TO CLOSE SEASON
AGAINST TERRORS
Coach Leo Houck Selects Same
Team That Tied Army for
Encounter Tomorrow
By CHARLES A.'.MVERS MJ
Bolstered by the -same lineup that
deadlocked Army, the Nittany Lions
will probably munch Greens without
any Terrors when they close their 1933
season in .the Western Maryland ring
at Westminster, Md., tomorrow night.
This year the Green Terrors have;
only a fair team; they can boast of
no individual stars such as one-time
intercollegiate champions Crosby,
Brubaker, Klepac, or Ekaitis. Con
sequently, Penn State’s two johnnies
cn-the-spot, Captain Johnny McAn
drews and Johnny Napoleon, should
lead a fairly easy Lion conquest of the
Western Maryland stronghold.
Kaplan Outstanding
Mathias, Gorski, and'Bernic Kaplan,
who defeated Tom Slusser last year,
are the outstanding men oh the West
ern Maryland team. Kaplan has won
every fight this year, Mathias two,
and Gorski two and a draw'.
, Coach Leo Houck’s lineup is un
changed. Johnny Napoleon, who looks
like a. substantial Lion hope for the
intercollegiates, Should have little
trouble in disposing of Harrison, an
inexperienced, bantamweight.
Zcloznock To Fight
Mike Zeleznock will again meet a
clever opponent, as he has in his last
two 125-pound encounters, when he
opposes Mathias, winner over Dolan
of Navy.
Paul Ferrero, with three draws and
a decision to his credit, will sling the
leather with Brown, who was knocked
out by the Navy man in the third
round. If Paul uses the same .left
jab'that earned him the decision in the
Army meet he should annex a point
in this lightweight bout.
Unless he is terribly off form, Cap
tain Johnny Mic Andrews can be count
ed on to breeze right through, the ,145-
pound setto. ’He meets either.Haines,
Kiefer, or Olsh, none of whom has
won , a fight this year.
. Alex Turnbull, who has conclusively
shown that he can give as well as take
punishment,- is Leo’s choice for the
155-pound entry. Alex will face Key
ser, whose left jab nearly earned him
“Mutt” Kessler will again fight out
of his natural weight when he trades
| blows with Gorski, of Western Mary

EN WILE OPPOSE WESTERN MARYLAND AWAY
Lewis Knocks Out
Amateur Champion
AI Lewis '32, former Lion wel
terweight and national collegiate
titleholder, returned to action for
the first time since the Olympic
tryouts in June by knocking out
Frankio Barton, State amateur
champion, in the second round of
their fight at Harrisburg Monday
night.
As a collegiate boxer, Al won
the Eastern intercollegiate welter
weight title in ID3I and 1932, in ad
dition, to the national crown last
April. He is now training for fu
ture engagements.
FRESHMAN CAGERS
TO CLOSE SEASON
Buckncll Yearlings, Wyoming Quintet
Will Oppose Lion Plebes
In Final Games
Concluding their season with a pair
of major tilts on foreign courts, fresh
man courtmen will leave at noon to
day for Lewisburg where they will
oppose the Bucknell first-year quintet
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. To
morrow night the yearlings will meet
the Wyoming Seminary cagers at
Wilkes-Barre.
The yearlings, strengthened by the
return of Riley, pivot man, who was
temporarily disabled because of a leg
injury, have spent the past week in
scrimmaging against a zone defense,
the type used by-both the Bucknell
and Wyoming quintets.
Bucknell freshmen, who recently
defeated the strong Lafayette year
ling quintet, promise to give the State
passers -stiff opposition, while the
Wyoming passers registered a 25-to
-19 win over the Lion freshmen when
the two teams clashed here last
month.
Ten men have been named to make
the trip by coach Mike Loebs. Sut
liff, Scott, Smith, and Stokes have
been selected as forwards, Biley and
Kensinger will sec service in the pivot
roles, while Knapp, Andrews, Will
iams, and Young have been chosen
as defense men.
land in the 165-pound class, while Tom
Slusser will be out to avenge his de
feat of last year at the hands of Ber
nio Kaplan, Terror 175-pounder. If
a heavyweight bout is used, either An
derson or Frank Nebel will meet L.
Kaplan, who lost in the Navy.meet.

Nillany Wrestlers To Compete
In Intercollegiate Bouts

to redoubled effort, Coach Charlie!
Speidel is putting his grapplersj
through a two-weeks “refining" per

bia, Princeton, Yale, Pennsylvania, |

5 Champions To Compete
Although five individual champions
t'rom last year will participate in the
tournament, the Nittany Lions still
stand a good chance to regain the
wrestling title they lost a few years
ago. Lehigh looms as the biggest op
position to the Blue and White, boast
ing three titleholders, Dulling, Bishop,
and Captain Peck.
Lion wrestlers lost only eight of the
forty individual matches engaged in
this year, two of which went to extra
periods while one was an unnatural
fall. However,- • the Nittany team's
relative strength cannot be easily de
termined since- Cornell and Syracuse
were the only dual opponents entered
in the tourney.
4 Undefeated Lions Entered
Ellstrom and Lorenzo made the best
showing for the Blud and White in the
intercollegiates last year, the 126-
pounder gaining second place while
Mike took third in the 145-pound class.
Even though both Lions have two de
feats chalked up against them in dual
meets, they loom - as good possibilities
to take their weights; - -
“Cheerful" Charlie, however, has
four undefeated grapplers to pin .his
hopes on. Rosy , Rosenberg, exper
ienced and reliable, Bill Cramer, clever
and versatile, the strong Lou Kreiz
man, and the 'Lions’ fast heavyweight,
‘“King” Cole, .all are training down tuj

scorers, a survey of the 1933 court

yeat’s high man, follows just a step
behind the leader with 104 points and
■a 9.4 average.
The rest of the Lions have figures
'opposite their names which are consid
erably lower. Henning rang up
thirty field goals in eleven games to
secure the next highest average per
game, a (j.O, while Conn and Thomas
follow with the theoretical figures of

reigns so far as the actual amount,
of field goals are concerned, and also j

In the realm of foul goals, the Nit* !

In foul shooting the Lions were
slightly weaker than their rivals.
