The second' half of the Rutgers
game Saturday night' kept getting
shorter and shorter to us when Rut

Lion team took matters Under control
during the last feW minutes, we
thought the game would' never end.
It ended all 'tab soon, because there
wasn't time for : the Nittanymen ;to
sink another - shot after the Red team
had caged the winning basket in the

Forfeit in Unliniited Division Fatal to Nittany
Mitmen—Pruitt Rolls Up Colorful
Decision Over Herbsleb
BESET!
Splitting seven 'contests with their
opponents, Lion mitmen Sell short of
possible victory when they forfeited
the unlimited class fight to Farrel
of Maryland to give the invaders the
lieavy end of a 4 1 / 2 , . : t0-3Y2 score in the
ring tilt in Recreation hall Saturday
night.
Fighting' n the 165-pound division,
Briggs Pruitt gained the most color
ful Lion victory when, after being
knocked down by Herbsleb in the
opening round, he twice sent the Mary
lander to the canvas in the second
in which the bell saved his opponent,
from'a K. 0: In the closing round,
Pruitt downed Herbsleb for fiVe counts
to clinch his right to a clear division.'
• Cris Well Wins Opener
Criswell had a rugged if somewhat
erratic puncher to handle in Waller,
Maryland 115-pound entry, but weath
ered a bad first round to return in
the closing rounds and gain command
of the situation. Waller tried hard
to turn the.match inio,a slug-fest but
was' unsuccessful and the - Lion won
the decision.
The third member of a fighting
family made a :ring debut under the
Blue and White mantle when Francis
McAndrews, 125, cleverly out-punched
and out-rnanouevered Carrol of Mary
land to hang up a decision for the
Lions. McAndrews brought his lanky
opponent to the canvas for a short
count in the first sound when he land
ed a hard overhand right to the head.
Mike Zeleznock Loses

'Mike ZeTeaneck stepped out of his
125-pound position to oppose Babcock,
Maryland 135-pounder, in a hard tilt
in which both weight and reach were
on the side of his opponent. In the
second round Babcock gained a short
knock-down following an exchange of
rights but except for this advantage

Weoer a Fight in Three Years'
Says .Bezdek of John McGraw
" . . . and never a fight in
three years."
Hugo Bezdek, director of the School
l'of Physical Education, was winding
up reminiscences about John Mc-
Graw,
,who died early, this week after
a reoccurent attack of uremic poison
ing which caused him to resign as
manager of the New York Giants
in 1932.
"You see, I was just coming up at
that time and I was anxious to learn
anything about the game I could,"
Bezdek continued, referring to his
period at the helm of the Pittsburgh
National League club. "I respected
his knowledge and influence on the
game, and was always ready to ac
cept his advice.
"McGraw realized this, I guess, and
returned the feeling by helping me all
be' could," the former Manager said.
"That's the reason we never had a
battle in three years on the diamond."

Johns Hopkins Saturday
Wolfson, Rosenberg, Turnbull, Johnston Throw
RiUalt in Delayed Match Here
EMIEZ!
It was a make-shift team that
Coach Charlie Speidel sent against the
John's Hopkins wrestlers Saturday af
ternoon, but it was still good enough
to defeat the Bluejays by a Score of
34-t O-0. Four falls and three time
advantage's, capped by a forfeit in the
heavyweight division, enabled the Lion
matmen to amass
. the most points
since defeating W. & J. by the same
total.
It
. began look as if spectat2is were
going to miss a perfectly good wrest
ling meet When match time came, with
no sign of 'a visiting team. It de
veloped later that the Bluejays missed
a turn or two on their journey here
and found themselves in Lewisburg at
2 o'clock. • Sataiday's fog delayed
their return here, and almost half of
the spectators had' left 'before the
Bluejays made their appearance about
4':30 o'clock.
W,olfson, Dißito Wirt
Sammy Wolfson scored the first
five point§ for the Lions when he
threw Gelber, 118-pounder, in seven
twenty-seven seconds. Di-
Rito, who his been 'alternating all sea
son with Wolfson in the 118-pound
division, moved up to the 126-pound
class# and defeated Miller by a two=
minute time advantage in two extra
Periods.
Waite, 135-pounder, ha d little
trouble with Captain Hartman of the
Johns Hopkins team, securing a time
advantage, of six minutes, forty sec
onds in a split bout. Captain Rosen
berg threw Waters in the 195-pound
class in four minutes, twenty-five sec
onds.
Turnbull Secures Fall
Alex Turnbull., the versatile mit and
mat man, 'returned .to his first love
Stratton explained, although the re
ceipt of these medals will not give
extra points to the teams which the
repreient.
Five points will be awarded for
each fall• obtained and three points
for a time advantage. Five points
will also be given to a man winning
by forfeit, provided that he has al
ready wrestled once. He cannot re
ceive these points, the manager ex
plained, unless he has had one pre

:If the tournament progresses as
regularly as it has this past week
and the meets are run-off on time,
Stratton believes the finals in each
