Monday Evenin . g,'March 5, 19 BetWeeri the Lions with The Sports . Editor When Harry BalthaOr azinauticed that C;arini of.Mfaryland would nfeet lifeAndrewn of Penh State in the 125- pound class, we wondered just hori , many times that "ilfeAndreirs Of Mit State" had resoonded' throutii Rea ball. It seems to lie a"cbsioiri of the Nittany Lion boxing team to carry a McAndreiks, and'hinv those names dO bolster the team! First maity:ennia along, and aacap- tain .0i the Lion initnien grabbed him self a title in the heavyweight class. Ho stePPed in again and seconded Captain 'Johnny. when the kid brother was winning' a championship 'in the 135-poUnd ClasS, Now Johnny has . made a comeback in Francis' corner 'and is helping the other kid brother in his search for a crown. We doubt if there ever Were two boxeis Who I looked more' alike in 'the - ring than Francis and Aihnicir. Fran cis looked as - though he find that cer:. tain something which will make him capable of stepping into 'Johnny's ring shoes. The second' half of the Rutgers game Saturday night' kept getting shorter and shorter to us when Rut gers Was in the lead,..but when the 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 Last minute of play. Up to that time it looked like U, Frank iVleriiivell fin ish for Coach . Spike Leslie's team, with Captain Norrie McFarlane play ing the hero's role. When Steve Hamas stepped into the ring before the Carnera-Loughran bout and challenged the winner to a match for the championship, nobody seemed to give .the •challenge. much. thought.. Now the rumors are float, ing around that Ciiiifea ~Gould lie ~vih' ling to meet Haitiaa . bout in Phil: adelphia in early summer. The finan cial success of the Ilamas'-'Schmeling' fight is drawing the attention'of the Italian's manageh More than any thing else. If thetnatch should come off, the former Nittany Lion will be entering the biggest fight of his ear eer, with the odds all against him. He will have to be prepared to meet the bullying tactics of the giant Car nera, tactics with which unable to cope. -J. M. S Anne Olt in g the operiiii . of Dress Shop 144 S.

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."

Stratton '35, managei of the tournament, ' Winners of the first three places in each class will receive gold, silver, and bronze 'medals, respeethiely This should be a major league record of some sort, since Bezdek and the Little Napoleon were rival managers in sixty-six games during.the three year period between 1917 arid the close of the 1919 season When the for mer left professional baseball for in tercollegiate athletics. "Yessir, McGraw's death his been n tremendous loss to baseball in color, and tradition, as well, as pres tige," 'Bezdek declared, "McGraw be longed to the' rough-and-ready school on the diamond, but after the game was over he was a thorough gentle man. He was one of the personalities of the game. "I .always considered McGraw' one of baseball's greatest leaders, along with Connie Mack," he continued. "Mack used to go out of his way to advise the, and often witheut my ask , ing. Huggins, of the Yankees, was another who would help me out." 34 as-IVlattlien. Blank D Nittany Mat Team Swamps 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 .vious" encounter. " ' ' :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 the classes will be held in Recrea tion hill on Saturday night.
