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. Smith at
forwards, Jim Hunter at center, and

Frank Smith and Mike Korniek, at
guards have been distinguishing
themselves. Jack Heyison and Van
Linton have been pushing the guards
hard for their posts, while Lefty
Knapp, Jack Fletcher, Charlie Glen
non, Bar Riley, and Bob Small are
doing the same for forward berths.
Jay McWilliams and Bill'Wetzel are
showing up well- os .tap-off-men.
Over the past thirty-eight years,
the Nittany Lions have won 299
games and lost 148. 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.
Friday night's inaugural also marks
the third season in. which Leslie has
been at the helm. In the past two
seasons his teams have won fifteen
contests in twenty-three starts.
The Ithaca * encounter marks" the
earliest >a Blue and White court team
has opened its season since 1923-24,
when Juniata was defeated, Gl-to-13,
on December 13. Only two opening
games have been lost in the past
twenty years, and only six out of
the thirty-eight openers. This year’s |
seventeen-game schedule is the long
est season since the 1928-29 one, dur
ing which nineteen games wore
played.
BISONS HONOR 2 . LIONS
Robert E. “Iggy” Weber '36, left
tackle on this 'year’s Lion varsity
football team, was given a berth on
Bucknell’s all-opponent team when
that mythical eleven was chosen by
the Bison coaches and players last
week. Charles J. “Chuck” Cherun
dolo ’37, Lion center, was named to
the second team.*

FOUR SOCCER MARKS
SET DURING YEAR
20 Goals Scored by McEwan, 6
In One Game; Team Totals
38; 6 In One Period
By WALT FREUNSCH
The soccer season just concluded
provided a considerable increment for
the credit side of the Lions’ ledger,
but more than that, four Penn State
records were set that should last for
a long time to come.
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.
Only, the sophomore and freshman
classes have had enough aspirants to
justify the choosing of a full team.

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.'

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.
