Monday Evening, February -26, 4.934
Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
If such a thing as an athletic his
tory of Penn State were written, the
historian might well record Saturday,
February 24, 1934, as one of the
blackest days in. Nittany Lion sports.
Threemiajor winter sports teams, each
boasting a creditable record to date,
decisively defeated!
However, when consideration is giv
en to the calibre of the opponents of
the basketball, boning, and wrestling
teams on Saturday, the results aren't
quite as discouraging as first glance
would have them. Despite the gallant
and thrilling uphill battle that Cap
tain Norrie McFarlane and his mates
put up in the second half against
Syracuse, the fact still remains that
the Orange quintet stands as the
classiest team that has stepped on
the Recreation hall court in some
little time, and with all• due respect
to the Lions, we'd have to concede a
triumph to the New York Staters even
in a nip -and-tuck contest.
Frankly, we looked for better things
from the wrestlers, although Satur
day's defeat was almost foretold :in
that 16-16 tic with an only average
Cornell . team the, Saturday before.
Facing a championship boxing team
with a patched-up line-up such as the
Lions were forced to do Saturday
made defeat at the
,hands of the
Orange ringnien almost a foregone
conclusion.
Incidentally, the boxers returned
home for the second week in succes
sion with tales . , of, poor officiating:
We've been hearing such stories for
the past three years: and it makes us
wonder whether there isn't a prob
lem facing the Association officials
when, they meet -at Syracuse next
month. Is it possible that the referee
holds too much power in deciding the
winner of the bout to insure fair play
to both, contestants? We don't be
lieve that this constant cry of unfair
decisions is limited to Penn State's
team alone—we feel that teams com
peting in the Recreation hall ring
have occasionally carried home simi
lar stories, and we believe that the
whole situation should be given care
ful consideration if intercollegiate
boxing is to be competitive sport in
which a team has just as much chance
for victory in meets , away from its
own ring as it does in its home sur
roundings.
The answer may be the return to
the use orjudges in, addition to the
Teferee, nr , it—may-Lbe the selection of
a group of, referees-who are-accept
able to eaCh.:niember . ,of the assoCia
tion and assigned meets - just as foot
ball officials- ado:- assigned certain
games to officiate.

RALLY IN SECOND
PERIOD FRUITLESS
Maister Show' Up A
Leading Eastern Guards,
Pickard As Shot
' The Hill was too steep to climb.
I Saturday night, in spitz of an exciting
second half spurt in which the Nittany
('court five played far over their heads
against one of the best tennis in the
East, a Syracuse first half 17-to-3
lead proved too much to overcome, and
the Lions ended up on the wrong end
of a 31.-to-23 score.
The whole of the first half, the
Lions, obviously over-awed by the per-
Ifection of the Orange aggregation,
!netted only three points, a foul by
Henning and a field goal by McFar
lane, scored after ten minutes of play.
Syracuie grabbed eight field goals
and three fouls during'the same per
hod. Stand comment, "The team isn't
on." They weren't. They were mis
sing their shots by feet, when they
got the shots.
Freshmen Drop 2 Games
At the half, realizing just where
they stood, the Lions started fighting,
and for the first fifteen minutes of
the second period carried the fight to
Syracuse; showed superb, if somewhat
!desperately ragged style in passing
land shooting*, and netted six field
goals and six fouls. McFarlane was
high scorer for the Lions with eight
points, his season's low, while Johnny
Stocker netted five, Dave Thomas,
four, Curt Henning, three and Fletch
er and Blyler two and one.
By for the feature of the game
was the playing of Syracuse aces
Moister, and Phillips, guards ; and
Pickard, one-handed shot extraordin
ary. Phillips netted ten points for
the visitors before he went out of the
game on personals, while Pickard
scored nine, and 3faister, in between
defense moves, 'gathered six tallies.
Syracuse, incidentally, converted every
foul point.
Coach Mike Loeb's proteges dropped
bdth of their encounters over the
week-end. Playing 'the Bison yearl
ings at Bucknell Friday, the Lion cubs
weren't able to get started and lost
35-to-27. Saturday they journeyed to
Kingston whare'they took on the fast
moving:Wyoming Seminary aggrega
tion. They were able to keep the score
tied up until the third quarter when
they blew up and the Seminary outfit
junmed ahead to 41-to-30.

Higgins Thinks New
Forward Pass Rule
Will Help Lion Team
Permitting the offensive team to
toss forward passes over the goal line
without losing possession of the bah
will help the Lion grid team next fall,
but the other two changes in the rules
of the game might just as w. 211 be for
gotten as far as advantage to the
Nittany eleven is concerned.
That is the opinion of Coach Bob
Higgins, Lion football mentor. "Being
able to do that last season might have
!changed the scores of two of our
games," Higgins said. "It would have
been handy against Syracuse early in
the season and later against Penn.
"The rule definitely means. the doom
of the seven-man line, and will leave
the game open to more surprising sit
uations," Higgins continued. "With a
wider choice of plays, Monday morn
ing quarterbacks are going to have
less criticism to make about the field
general's judgment." •
