Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
• . Events other than the defeat will
rankle stronger in the minds of Coach
Leo Houck and the boxing team, as a
result of their trip to Navy. On ar-
riving at Annapolis, the mitmen
found a bus waiting them-to taka
them,to . the academy, and no one but
the bus driver to, greet them. But
the situation became worse when they
arrived at the school and got off the
bus. They - had no idea . of where to
go, and walked around about an hour
looking for their qu#ters. Finally
they chanced upon it - stray inidsfiip-.
men, and fOund out where they were
supposed to stay.
The meal was ail right,.butto their
consternation, the Lion boxers found
no butter on the table. After many
'eompla , ints, r the waiter said he would
see what he could do about the mat.:
ter, called. up the cominisary depart
ment, and received instructions from
the' officer in. charge, to give the vis
itors a,..Dlatel.a..J)utter: But when
the Nittany team asked for tea, they
found that such a commodity was out
of the question. Must be' the mid
shipmen are allowed nothing harder
than water to drink.
Probably-the. staunchest Penn State
suppoeter at the Navy meet was Gib
Cookery, who wua' a .member of the
football and wrestling teams here last
year. Cookery sat on the bench with
'the Lion boxers, and did his best to
encourage them. He, was also 'the
unluckiest person in'the crowd, for at
about the middle of the proceedings
'the announcer askid that the owner
of car,i bearing •Pennsylvania li
cense hurnber so-an&so, please move
the vehicle. It turned out to be Cos
kerM'a iautomobile, so he, had to walk
out am idst the cheers. and boos of the

Speedy Encounter With
Tartans Followed
By Reverse
Ripping into Carnegie's attempts
at an early offensive drive, the Nit
tany basketeers Friday night tram
pled the Skibo team underfoot 47-to
-23. Saturday they travelled to Mor
gantown, where the West Virginia ag
gregation,-taking the lead almost at
the sound bf the whistle; outplayed
the tired Lions to win, 45-to-18.
Norris McFarlane was high scorer
for both games, rolling up eighteen
points, six field goals and six fouls
against Carnegie, and nine points, two
. field goals and five fouls against West
Virginia. Laddie Blyler, with seven
tallies, took second position Friday
night, while Curt Henning,' with five,
I was runner-up Saturday.
The one striking featuie of the Tar
(tap team was the playing •of Silver
man, captain of the Skibo team.- He
vies high scorer for his squad, rol
ling up eleven points. His shooting,
hurried as it was by Lion guards, was
not as effective as 'the fond hopes of
the Scotch supporters , would'have lik
ed it to be, but he nevertheless turned
in a beautiful performance against'
State's too-powerful aggregation.
The Nittanymen set the pace for
the Carnegie squad with the sound
of the starting whistle. Curt Hen!
ning took the tip-off, and the Lions
started down the floor, only to lose
the ball to Silverman,' who dribbled
twenty, feet, and shot, for the open
ing score of the game. A half min . - .
ute later Dave Thomas picked off a
foul shot for the first Nittany point. )

stifar this season. 'His passing ability, and the success of his pet shot,

been a reversal of Friday night's
line-up, with Penn State substituting
for Carnegie, and the Mountaineers
ably slipping into the Lion's positions.
The Morgantown aggregation rushed
into the fray, took the lead immediate
ly, and never - fell behind. Big Joe
Stydahar; West Virginia center, ,tore
through the Nittany defense for sev
en field goals and four foul points.
Colebank, flashy sophomore forward
on the Morgantown squad, ran second
place with thirteen points, six field
goals and a foul. • •
The LiO s n team never had. a . chance
to get its breath, from the time the
starting whistle blew until the fracas
uas over. Morgantown, using an an
noying zone defense, seemed confident
of their ability to stop the Lion's set
offense ' 'adapted-for the occasion by
Coach Leslie. And with the first
minute of plaY they so engulfed the
Nittany team that hardly a well-or
ganized ploy emerged from the tangle
at any time.
Today the Lions start practice for
the Syracuse game , here Saturday
night. They won't fool around. They
well realize that Syracuse will be a
tough hill to climb, if the rampage
through Lion ranks of their last game
is to be avenged—by means of an
Orange defeat at the hands of .what
will have to 'be a . really smoothly
working, aggressive Lion team.

Until Final Match,
CE=EI
In a story-book comeback, the Lion
wrestling team earned a IG-to-16 tie
with the Big Red team from Cornell
after trailing by sixteen points at the
end of the fourth match on the card.
The Bears had won the opening
matches, none by wide margins, and it
began to look like a field clay fo•
Cornell.
And then the Lions began to open
up. Cramer piled up more than three
minutes' time advantage in the 155-
pound class, Johnston tossed Brown
ell in 5 minutes, 12* seconds in the
165-pound division, and when Lou
Kreizman pinned his man in twenty
four seconds,. the score stood 1:3-to-16
against the Lions and a time advan
tage by "King" Cole would tie the
meet while a fall would give the
Lions a two-point margin of victory.
Cole Ties Score
For the first two minutes, Weigel,
Bear heavyweight, managed to keep
away from "King." Weigel won the
toss and took the defense. Cole held
him' for all four minutes of the first
period, but could not throw him. The
"King" broke away from Weigel al
most at once and took the advantage,
but in spite of terrible punishment,
Weigel refused to be turned over, and
Cole could only roll up six minutes
and forty seconds of time advantage.

.In the 118-pound class, Nathan
gained a time advantage of one min

Tretter followed with a one minute,
twenty-three second advantage . one
Eisenman in the 126-pound class, and :
the score stood Cornell, 6; Penn State,l
0.
Horvath Thrown in'Extro Period
One of the best matches of the af
ternoon was the one between Johnny
Horvath, Nittany 115-pounder, and
Captain Hurwitz, Cornell, who was
intercollegiate chaMpion in that
weight last year. At the end of the
regular period, Hurwitz had only
twelve seconds time advantage, and
the referee ordered two extra periods.
In the second extra period, Horvath
suddenly fell into a half nelson and
crotch hold, and was thrown in a min
ute and twenty-six seconds.
Richardson, Bear 145-pounder, was
too strong for Civitts and just at half
time, got a half nelson and crotch
hold on the Lion Wrestler, and threw
him in five minutes and fifty-four
seconds, and the score- was Cornell,

16; Penn State, 0.

After a bad start, Cramer got the
advantage, and although. he punished

"Red" Johnston followed in the 165-I

five minutes, twelve seconds with .1
double chancery hold.

began to take a little interest in the
proceedings, and when Lou Kreizman,
175-pounder, threw Krotts in twenty
