Tuesday, December 11,1934 Courtmen Swing Int Leslie Undecided . On Starting Team Stocker, Fletcher, Hunter, Smith, and Kornick May Begin Against ‘Dark Horses’ By CHARLI] Basketball will swing into the head of the Penn State sports parade on Friday night. A new opponent, Ithaca College, of Ithaca, N. Y., will come here with a squad of unknown strength, but with a reputation. Last year they hand- ed the strong East • Stroudsburg State Teachers quintet their only de feat in seventeen starts, and also topped the powerful Westminster courtmcn. Nittany court fans will watch the Lion -quintet with a great deal of in terest,- since Conch Spike Leslie has had .the problem of rebuilding his 1934-35 team with a nucleus of only lettermen, none of the others hav ing had any varsity experience worth mentioning. The quintet which will lift the lid on the Blue and White’s thirty-ninth organized basketball - season in its 448th court battle is, at yet, unpicked. “I have fourteen 'men of about equal calibre,”' declared Coach Leslie, “and I probably won’t know who I’nv going to start until Friday night.just before the gamp.” However, in practices Captai Johnny Stocker and Jimmy.

Since 1896, when Bucknell was met in the first inter collegiate contest until, the conclud ing game of last season with Rut gers, the Lion passers have met- more than 100 opponents.

Bill McEwan’s record of twenty goals, or nearly three goals a game, was just double that of the previous mark set by Deßonis some years ago. McEwan also set a record for the number of goals scored in one game, getting six against Dickinson. The team also set a record for scoring in one quarter, netting six in the sec ond quarter of the same tilt. The thirty-eight goals for the season also set a new high in t’eam scoring. While probably not a record, it is worthy of note that Captain Jack Fletcher played every minute of ev ery game on the schedule, which adds up to 616 minutes of play. Up to the final tilt against the Red Devils, there were several who had played all the time, but ijie frequent substi tutions in this fiasco eliminated these. The already long string of victories compiled by the teams of Coaches Longhurst, Leonard, Jeffrey et al., has reached the total of seventy-six, as opposed to only seven losses in the. twenty years or. so that the sport has been played by the Lions. Twen ty-one encounters resulted in ties, an average of about one every year. Three of the losses were sustained in a single disastrous • season, that of 1932, when Harvard, Springfield,, and Syracuse all took the Lion’s skin. The other defeats were well scat tered, Penn, winning in. 1918, Navy and Toronto in 1927, and Princeton in 1930. She-Lions Anticipating the interclass swim ming meet which will take place to day at 4 o’clock in the Glennland Pool, two interclass teams have been select ed, with each girl on the team pass ing the rigid W.A.A. requirements.

Yulctide Greetings and an Enjoyable Vacation Cook’s Meat Market To Our Patrons and Friends A MERRY CHRISTMAS FRED'S PROSPECTS FOR GOOD RING TEAM BRIGHTEN By HARRY HENDERSON Prospects for a championship Blue and White boxing: team brighten as daily workouts under Coach Leo Houck continue. Among the men who are reporting are two in tercollegiate champions, Captain Mike Zeleznock and Russ Criswell, in the 125- and 115-pound classes, re spectively. Among promising sophomores who are training under Leo are Izzy Rich ter*, former A.ArU. heavy champ, Lou Barth, Lion gridiron guard and a promising heavy, Bill Rhoda in the 175-pounders, Sheldon Jones in the 145-pound division, and Frankie Goodman, in the 135-pound class. and Paul Kennedy, S.A.E., received some very honorable mentions. Best Line Blocker The judges decided that Gob Dob bins, S.P.E., was judged as most com petent at getting in other people’s way, while Johnny Beall- and A 1 Con don, Alpha Chi Slg, didn’t do bad themselves. Best Runner Jim Reed, Chi U., impressed the referees as being the best Fleet-foot. Besides being a good passer, Ed Rick etts led the boys a merry chase dur ing the games. Bill Fetter also re peated by gaining honors in this divi sion. Best Kicker We were not surprised when Joe BieJicki, Chi U., was named as the best booter—we've seen him-smoke a soccer ball neatly through that net behind the goal. Johnny Beall gains another second for his kicking, and Charlie Schwartz, Phi Sigma Delt, packs a mean wallop in his right foot, so they say. ■ While they were at it, the judges also named several team honors. Best Coordinated The Chi Upsilon congregation im pressed the referees as being the best organized. The Betas are also reput ed to have functioned smoothly. The Alpha Chi Sigs were judged third best. Cleverest Plays The Phi Kappa Tau crew must have spent many weary hours map ping out plays on the dining-room table cloth, for they are alleged to have had. the most deceptive plays. The S.P.E.’s also did . some tedious brain-storming. . Cooperation ' The S.A.E. gridders were Riven the unanimous vote as the teani cooper ating best ; with the officials.' Christmas Greetings Old Main Art Shop Opposite Front Campus Izzy will not be eligible for competi tion until the end of the first semes ter, however. Bob Golder is another of Leo’s lads who is brightening the prospects for the Lions in the 145-pound division. Golder lias been working out since October and looks to be in much bet ter shape physically than most of the other ring candidates. Larry Madison, who broke into the State line-up last year, will again be fighting in the 135-pound class, providing he can successfully fight down the old opponent of every boxer —weight. Among the freshman boxers who show considerable promise is diminu tive Bob Donato, freshman gridder, who now lists himself in the welter division after capturing the feather weight Golden Glove championship last year.
