`Quit' Rumor
Kreizman Is Reported.
Reconsidering His
• Mat Edict.
By HARRY HENDERSON
Russ Criswell, 115-pound Lion in
tercollegiate boxing champ, will defi
nitely be a member of the Blue and
White ring team. The slender pugi
list today denied all rumors which
have been circulating to the 'effect
that he will not fight this year.
"That stuff is all the bunk. Sure,
I'm going to fight. At least I'm go
ing to .try hard enough," the Lion
champ declared firmly. "I've heard
these rumors floating around and I
want to deny every word of them."
"I don't know how they got started
unless it has been because I haven't
been out to practice since the Christ
mas vacation ended but that was only
because I have had the ,grippe. I'm
starting to work out again tonight,"
Criswell said.
Criswell won the intercollegiate
crown last year in the 115-pound divi
sion while still a comparatively un
known fighter. Ring fans regarded
his winning of the championship as
a great show of what a fighting spirit
will do for a man who has the odds
against him.
Rreizman Rumored Quitting
Those interested in the future of
the Lion wrestling team are also
deeply concerned about current rum
ors. to the effect that Lou Kreizman is
not intending to apply for the heavy
weight job this season. Lou is at
the present time practice-teaching in
Altoona and has had only a few work
outs since football season.
Kreizman has occasionally asserted
that he is not coming out for the team
when he gets back, and a great num
ber of 'persons have taken him seri
ously. However, those who know him,
including members of the varsity
squad, expressed confidence - that he
would be out as soon as he got back.
• Coach Charlie Speidel dismissed
the rumor, as 'unfounded and-added
that he was depending on Kreizman
to bolster the heavy end of the team.
Kreizman was one of the ironmen of
the team last year,. yineing..Aie.
'his six duel enconnters.• All of 'the
other candidates for the 'heavyweight
berth, Cromwell, Salisburg, O'Dawd,
Pohe, and Keizer, are unexperienced.

ILET'S BAER DOWN ON. HIM, STEVE
llamas, Baer 10-Round No-Decision Fight Seen
Highly Probable as Hoffman Agrees to Match
By JOHN
"In this corner—Maxie Baer,
World Heavyweight Champion."
"In this corner—Steve llamas, con
tender for the title."
Nor will it be long before these two
boxers may meet, for Baer and his
thanager, Ancil Hoffman, have agreed
to meet •Carnera,. Schmeling, Lasky,
Louis; or'Humas in a 10-round no-de
cision bout in the Chicago stadium the
first Week of March.
,The.inatch.svill be a regulation bout
in every respect except for the ref
eree's decision. Baer has agreed to
allow a poll of newspaper men to de
termine the result if he doesn't knock
DIEM
out his. opponent and if the decision
goes against him he will rematch for
the crown.
, llamas is the most likely opponent
for this exhibition bout because of
his decisions over Lasky and Schmel
ing. Lasky wotild naturally be a. see
ond choice with Joe Louis rating a
close third. This man, however, needs
more experience afore facing the
husky Californian. •
It is possible for Baer to
.lose his
title if any opponent knocks him out
in a no-decision bout. Benny Leonard
won his lightweight title from Freddy
Welsh in 1917 through such an en
gagement when he k. o.'d him in the
ninth round of a scheduled 10-round
match.

Plan Eonomics Talks
The first of a series of ten lectures
by the department of economics on
the social, econonric, and industrial
trends of the present time will be
given in Erie on Monday. This is
the third consecutive year, that the
department has been requested to
speak on such problems , at industrial
meetings in Erie.
WRIGHTING
BETWEEN
THE LIONS
The sports department today
comes out in a new dress, and with'
a slightly altered policy. From
this issue forward the sports of the
College will he handled in less of a
year book manner and with more
emphasis on what this department
holds may be of more immediate
interest to readers. As a start,
this department is going out of its
previous lethargic way to get stor
ies with more human interest, and
at the same time is giving only
three paragraphs to the Pennsyl
nia basketball game, which every
body who was at all interested has
no doubt read about some days ago.
The policy of placing considerable
emphasis on intramural sports and
publishing all the women's sports
news that can be begged, borrowed,
or stolen—in effect all this semes
ter—will be In no way altered.
IMMEI
It may be ati excellent thing
after all that the intramural box
ing matches were postponed from
last Saturday until tomorrow. The
added time will give the gentlemen
of Recreation hall—both students
and professionals—who have direct
charge of the tournament, more
time to check up on the lads who
box in the 115-pound class, for in
stance, and really weigh in the
160's, by the simple method of hav
ing one man to do the, weighing-in
and an entirely different gentleman
do the snorting and slugging.
Ironically enough, the boys from
the city universities often hold that
they're learning life, an impossi
billity in a small-town college, but
,it seems that there are still tricks
in all trades, speaking of fraternity
subjects.
+++
Ex-Lion end Earl Edwards is
now coaching in Ebensburg, some
sixty-five miles west of here, and
doing revery nice job of turning
out lads who can win football- games
and ultimately get their intercol
legiate careers paid for in places
like the University of Smukler.
Ebensburg, under Edwards' guid
ance this year, won six, lost three.
+++
Even as in football, the State
College h. s. basketball team line
up looks like a .College directory,
with both faculty and student
names. Young Gates, however,
seems to lie definitely more sensa
tional in a grid uniform than on
the court. But the Little Lions
shouldn't be discouraged by being
beaten at Philipsburg Saturday
night. Who ever . heard of any one
from these parts going over there
for basketball? And besides, the
Memory of that football team
ought to be satisfaction enough to
last for awhile.
+ + +
Irony, too, predominates the an
nouncement that Dick Harlow, one
time head coach here, will be in
charge of Harvard grid destinies
next year, a step-up from Western
Maryland. The irony, however, is
not in the fact that the Penn State
All-American linesman of 1912 is
receiving a deserved advancement,
but in the fact that College ath
letic authorities over a several-year
period worked toward a Western
Maryland-Penn State game to
smooth out the rift that came after
Harlow left Penn State for Colgate
with five players—and now Sir
Richard won't be guiding the Green
Terrors after all when the 1935
football season rolls around.

Undefeated Temple Quintet
To Meet Nittany Courtmen
Here on Wednesday Night
Coach Jimmy Usilton's
As One of Fines
By CHARLIE
Penn State court enthusiasts will
have an opportunity tomorrow night
to watch one of the finest quintets in
the East function when an undefeated
Temple aggregation meets the Lions
in Recreation hall at 7:30 o'clock.
Conch Jimmy Usilton's veteran
Owls have outpointed Johns Hopkins,
St. Joseph's, Indiana, Ohio State, and
Drake so far this season. They romp
ed over the Hoosiers, Big Ten cham
pions, to the tune of 50-to-30.
The Cherry and White squad has
"scaled the heights of greatness" this
year, according, to Herbert Good, of
the Philadelphia Record. Good says
of them, "It is doubtful if any Usil
ton-coached team has ever shown
greater skill and mastery. The shoot
ing of the team is deadly and sped
tacular . . . the passing so superb
that it has the fans dizzy from fol
lowing the rapid flight of 'the ball. On
defense the Owls are just as bril
liant."
.Coach Spike Leslie's proteges ex
pect to have their hands more than
full tomorrow night. The fact that
they are playing at home, however,
is a point in the Lions' favor.
This will mark the third time that
Temple and Penn State have met on
the court. On February 15, 1933, the
Owls - defeated the Blue and White
here, 43-to-33, in a hotly contested
battle. Their other meeting was on
January 25,1925, and the Lions were
victorious by the overwhelming tally
of 57-to-27. In this game, which was
played in the Armory, Captain Von
Nieda led the scoring with fifteen
points.
The Quaker city quintet boasts an
all-Philadelphia combination. "Reds"
Rosan and Jimmy Brown, forwards,
and Steve Jeuenge•, center, hail from
Southern High, while Iry Casper,
guard, is a product of Pierce School,
and Ernie Messikomer, Casper's part
ner, comes from West Philly High.
Other Owls who will probably see
action are Lou Dubin, a forward who
was the big gun in Temple's opener
this year; Fox, another forward;
Burns, a center; and. Friberg and
Greenberg, guards. Friberg, another
Southern High product, was a star
in the Owl-Lion encounter. here two
years ago, accounting for ten points.
He was topped only by Rosen, with
fifteen tallies, and McMinn, Nittany
forward, with thirteen points.
Lose To Penn, .13-22
Coach Leslie will probably start
with the same five who opened against
Penn on Saturday night, In that sad
encounter, in which the Lion roars
were quickly "bottled" and kept in
that condition throughout the entire
fracas, the Quakers romped to a 43-

to-22 victory. •
The Lions led for two minutes
when they gained a :3-0 lead at the
start. Three minutes later the score
was tied at 6-all, and from then on
the Nittanymen lost the pep and fight
that was so noticeable in the three
previous contests.
Ten of Penn State's twenty-two
points were made as a result of fouls,
with the Blue and White tallying only
six times from the court. Frank Smith
and Mike Kornick each accounted for
two of these field goals, while Jim
Hunter and Jimmy Smith each made
one. Penn led at half-time, 22-to-9.
