Friday,"January 4, 1935 Court Te LACROSSE SQUAD WILL ALSO MISS • VETERAN ATHLETE 5-Letter Mari 'Expects To Get Position This Month The Lion basketball team received another setback recently when it was announced that Jack Fletcher '35 one of the two veterans 6f the Lam, would .receive his degree at the mid- semester graduation exercises and might, not even be available for Play after' January 8. 'Fletcher , already has sufficient credits to earn his diploma in Feb ruary-and!. has definitely decided to end his intercollegiate career at that time. At the present time he is ang ling for a position that may require his presence on January 9, making it necessary for him to forego further schooling. rln either event, he will be eligible for his bachelor's degree in February. The loss of• the State College boy will .be keenly felt, not only by the basketball team, but also .by the Lion, lacrosse team, on which he played as a regular last spring. One of the best all-around athletes that State College has given to the Nittany Lion institution in several years, Fletcher has already won five major letters, three in soccer, one in basketball and one •in lacrosse. Ie was captain of the Nittany soc cer team this past season and one of 'Bill Jeffrey's regulars for the past three seasons. Last year he Was se ' lected' as %'ini all-American center halfback by Jeffrey, while this sea son' he waS'second choice for the same position. Fletcher was regarded as one of the kingpins on the Lion basketball team this season and his loss will be a severe one for the Lions to over come. A regular last season, his presence on this year's varsity was Counted upon to keep the Nittany forces in the running this year. Intramural Conte§ts,, . In.

MILLER "I'll take on Steve Flamas and Art Lasky the same night."—Bnei. "I'll take on Max Baer and Lasky in a double=header:"—Hamas. And it would be hMdly fair to Lasky's reputation as a boxer to say that he wouldn't agree to meet his obstacles to the heavy weight crown under the same conditions. But there are technicalities as might be supposed from the announce ment issued by Charlie Hafvey, Steve's manager, who said, "Homes accepts that challenge with one stipu lation—that lie be given - the first of two bouts. If he wins; then he'll meet Lasky on the same evening." Baer's proposal, however, is to meet, Lasky first. The Winner, then, either the old champion or a new one, would rest five minutes and take on llamas. Maxie believes that the win ner of the first encounter would be in perfect shape for the second. He hints that there is little likelihood that the first bout would go the full ten rounds for both of the men would be trying for a quick knockout. • Such a program would attract one of the largest fight crowds in history. With the 'heavyweight championship crown at stake twice in the same night, .Baer estimates the gate re ceipts .would reach a million 'dollar's with his share of the spoils totaling between $400,000 and $500,000. Baer gave 'a four round exhibition of his ability at the expense of Johnny Miler, light heavyweight of Des Moines, 'lowa, on,December 7. It was his first appearance since he won the title from Primo Camera last June by a "technical knockout," but he stopped toying with his opponent long enough to prove to his audience that his "lethal gas" right is still in work Sports Show, Average for .660 Year ..... • Varsity, 'rpm Ron 68, Lost 33 TiOlj 2 i cibnPs4—Freshmen Won 17 of 21 Ganies Penn State's athletic teams showed considerabb Mipro c fneq during thg . calendar gr of 3400:minding won, • stfir illiAelof .660, in cludhi o arkity and freshman teams.

Last week he bowled over King Levinsky in a four round ex hibition. An the other side of the fence, Flames' manager got tired of hearing Baer's boasts and challenged the champion to "put-up" by meeting Hainan in a four round bout or to "shut-up" his talking about what a soft touch Hamaiwouhl be in the pro posed double header. Jack Dempsey, the Red Grange of the ring, who has an interest in Baer, declared laconically that the proposal Was "not, so hot." He believes that Ancil 'Hoffman, Baer's manager would never consent to ruining a good title match by staging a little four rounder.

But something almost as threaten ing to the double header is in store since the international Boxing Union declared that Baer must meet the Belgian, Pierre Charles, or risk loss of recognition by the Union. May 6, 1935 was set as the date for Baer to accept a match with Charles. Storm clouds appear on Steve's side also as the time "draWs close for his meeting Max Schmeling again in Hamburg, Germany, on March' 10. Harvey has cabled an agreement to an offer for twelve rounds at a guarantee of $25,000. • "Baer has done nothing but monkey around," Harvey said: "We've accept ed terms for the bout in Germany and if Baer finally decides to meet Steve, we'll be ready. In the mean time we'll take any other offers and make some money." The signing of llamas throws a monkey wrench in the, plans of Mad ison Square Garden officials who had been figuring on a Hainas-Schmeling bout in Miami next February. ".'lt's news to me," Jimmy Johnston, Gat•- den matchmaker, said when inform ed of the German engagement. "We have Hanias under contract for his next fight and if he is serious in this Hamburg proposition, we'll have to get our laAvyers.to worn, John ston continued. "Our contract should be good around the -world." In spite of the many "technicalities" now hiding the double-header for the championship of the vforld in the heavyweight division, if it is staged it will probably be in some out-door arena in the Smith,, if in winter, or in the North, if in the summer.

Frank Smith, playing a stellar game at guard, showed Penn State fans how a team can look at top-notch form early in the season. Smith, Captain Johnny Stocker, and lanky Jim Hunter each tallied ten points. However, acoring hon ors for the evening went• to Bob Glover, Wheaton center, who ran up three field goals and five fouls. The Lions have averaged forty four points per game, winning their opener against Ithaca, 39-20, and dropping a spirited match to Rutgers last Saturday night, 52-50. Coach Leslie will travel with his proteges to Philadelphia this week-end to meet a strong Penn team. The Red and Blue, Eastern Intercol legiate champs last year, won over Lafayette, and. Harvard so far this Iseason, and' dropped a game to St. Joseph's. They will probably line-up with Captain Bob Freeman at center, Franny Murray and Bill Tannseer at guard's, and Shorty O'Donnell and Henry Hortoff at forward positions. The man to watch in this aggregation is Freeman! The Blue and White courtmen have only topped the Quaker five times in their twenty-three previous encount ers, the last victory having been scored in 1923, when the Lions won 30-23. The game was cancelled last year. Two years ago the Quakers won, 43-24, but after Wednesday night's display of speed and power, the story may be different this year. Coach Spike Leslie substituted freely in the Wheaton encounter, us ing practically the, entire squad. Jimmy Smith was not in the line-up, haVing been sick in bed all week. For the first ten minutes of the sec ond half the Nittanymen -looked like a first-class ball club, averaging two points a minute. Mike Remick, al though only gaining four points, was an outstanding. guard on .the defense and was responsible for, breaking ulna hurnber of the Illinois school's plays. Jack 'Fletcher' 'and' Bar Riley Counted sir tallies- each, while - !Jack' Heyison scored three foul's and JChar lie Glennon and Van Linton rang ,up a ba:Sket apiece.'
