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.

Steve llamas Says He Can Beat Mr. Baer,
And Mr. Lasky in Doubleheader Program
Former Lion Champ
To Fight German
By JOHN. 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

sensation, because' of a promise he
made when he first started fighting.
/Lording to Max, he'promised never
to cross the color line."
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.

NITTANY QUINTET
WINS THIRD TILT
Down Wheaton College
53-36 As Kornick,
Smith Star
Hy CHARLIE SCHWARTZ
A vastly improved Lion quintet
opened the 1935 sports program Wed
nesday night by easily trouncing a
slow-moving 'Wheaton College team,
53-to-39. 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.
