WRIGHTING BETWEEN THE LIONS
By FRED w. WRIGHT
Coach 'Spike' Leslie should have no particular reason to
j be looking down •in the mouth this morning, even though
Juniata's basketball . team did make the Lions look a little slow
and uncertain Saturday night. Leslie apparently (lid an excel
lent job of whipping his team into a position where they were
able to give Temple, real eastern champions, one of the closest
scares that the Owls are likely'to receive this season, and Sat
urday night was just a bit of, staleness or something working
out of the boys..
Leslie, incidentally, is slowly but surely gaining for him
self a reputation as a basketball oink Teachers College for Penn
coach of no mean ability. Three State and found that there hadn't
years ago he left obscure Mont-

Award Cornell
Eastern Soccer
Title for 1934
Intercollegiate Soccer
Association Bars
Penn State.
By WALT FREUNSCH
Penn State's bid for the Eastern
soccer championship was nullified on
Saturday when the Eastern Intercol
legiate Soccer association• announced
the suspension of State for the 1934
season, at its annual meeting in New
York City. Cornell, with a record of
four league victories and two ties,
was awarded the title by the repre
sentatives of the sixteen schools of
the Association.
State was suspended on charges
arising out of the Scotland trip of
the Lion team last summer, when the
Blue and White, because of injuries
to the original squad, used players
from other schools, as well as the
coach. Consequently, the three league
victories and a tie earned by the,Li
ons did not figure in the awarding of
the title, although State has been
fully re-instated for the 1935 season.
Director Hugo Bezdek, of the School
of Physical Education and Athletics,
and Neil M. Fleming, graduate man
ager of athletics, represented Penn
State at the meeting. Mr. Fleming,
who is a member of the rules COlll-`
mittee of the National Collegiate Soc
cer Association, reported four propos
ed changes in the rules for the com
ing season.
Probably the most radical of the
changes proposed concerns the throw
in. The new rule permits the ball to
be thrown in from out of bounds by
almost any method, such as one-hand
ed, instead of directly over the head
with two hands, us before:
A second change would have the
managers keep time and signify the
end of the half and of the game by
their whistles, instead of having the
referee indicate the end of a period
or the game. Other suggested chang
es would give the goalie more pro
tection from concerted rushes and
would provide for the inflation of the
ball at a pressure of not less than
twelve pounds and not more than .thir
teen.
that Penn State doesn't possess a
tall center (the Lions got, the ball.
at the tap-off three times against
Temple), -but still. - they 'make a'
creditable showing. Hunter, sup
planting the'towering Henning who
was long on height and short on
floor work, will develop into,a.valu
able' Man 'with. this, season ,of
et
perience, And Hiley,luis been doing
,contmendable' pork' in relief.
. • Noteworthy, too, is the recent
shift to the so-called western type
of play, where an occasional -long
shot keeps the oposition on their
toes. Recent Penn State teams
have been concentrating on getting
in close for a pot-shot at the bas
ket, but this year's five is varying.
this system with pretty good re
sults. llfix-'em-up is a primary
principle in sports.
Leslie must do his coaching on
what material shows up and it
seems a pretty good omen when
three regulars are sophomores. And
basketball is one sport in which
coaches seldom proselyte.
51 Teams To Compete
In Basketball Tourney
Approximately fifty-one fraternity
basketball teams have registered for
the annual intramural tourney sched
uled to begin sometime this week,
according to William M. Scott '36, in
charge of the tournament.
Contrary to previous announce
ment, the finals will not be played
for several months, as the unusual
size of the schedule and the limited
opportunity to secure the gymnasium
every night will lengthen the tourna
ment. ,

To Play W. Maryland
Here at 7 Tomorrow
By CHARLIE SCHWARTZ
The Lion courtmen ought not to
have much trouble tomorrow night in
raising the .500 average which they
now have, when they meet a compara
tively weak Western Maryland quin
tet. The game is set for 7 o'clock in
Recreation hall. The Green Terrors,
here in the seventh encounter of the
two teams, have an unimpressive rec
ord so far this season.
Spike Leslie's henchmen gave a
haphazard exhibition of play on Sat
urday night in topping the Juniata
College passers, 32-22. 'The Indians
had the Leslie system doped out right
and managed to stop a number of
scoring plays by playing a zone de
fense:
The Huntingdon collegians held the
Lions to the lowest score they have
turned in this season in winning a
game. Bill Scott, Juniata guard,
turned in high score for' the evening
with ten tallies. Mike Kornick close
ly followed with nine, while Frank
and Jimml Smith each accounted for
six. Captain Johnny Stocker began
to re-find himself and accounted for
a basket and three fouls. Glennon,
McWilliams, and Hunter each drop
ped in net swishers.
Coach Leslie used two complete
teams against the Indians, starting
Stocker, Jim Smith, Hunter, Kornick,
and Frank Smith, and replacing them
with Riley, Fletcher, Glennon, McWil
liams and Linton. Johnny Stocker
injured his left hand when fouled by
Matlacic late in the- first half and re
tired from the game. However, it is
not believed the injury, is serious
enough to keep him out;of action to
morrow night. •
If history repeats itself, the Lions
should triumph tomorrow night by a
score of about 40-20. In the past,
every game of which has been played
in Recreation hall, the Lions have not
scored less than forty points against
the Terrors, while the 'llavensmen
have not retaliated with' more than
twenty-two. Last year the Green and
Gold were Maryland State champions,
but that won't cut much'ice here in
Pennsylvania. The series between the
two teams began back in 1928 and
has continued every year with the
exception of last year.

Interclass Meet
With 24 Points
Well - Balanced Frosh
Team Gains Second
In Tournament.
Scoring twenty-four points, the sen
iors, as expected, won the interclass
wrestling tournament Saturday, but
the fine showing of a well-balanced
freshinan team which took second
Place with six points was the feature
of the contest. It was the first time
in 3 years that freshman were able
to score. Junior representatives had
four points and sophomores three.
Dißito scored first for the seniors
in the TlB-pound class, throwing Steg
maier, freshman representative, in
five minutes thirty-nine seconds. Sev
eral upsets came in • the 125-pound
division when Clark, a junior, won a
close time advantage over Don Ross,
senior, and then lost to Reynolds, a
freshman, who had more than a seven
minute advantage.
Light took the 135-pound title for
the juniors by defeating Zazzi, an
other freshman, by a time advantage.
Civitts defeated Waite, a junior, to
win in the' 195-pound class for the
seniors. Bill Cramer gave the seniors
another trimph in the 155-pound divi
sion, winning by a fall from 'Dutcher,
a sophomore.
A peculiar, situation developed in
the 165 and 175-pound classes. On
one mat 'Red' Johnston, senior inter
collegiate champion, was having lit
tle trouble with his opponent, and he
and referee 'Chuck' Eisenman spent
most of their time watching the other
mat where their brothers,. Bob John
ston and Dick Eisenman were bat
tling for supremacy in the 175-pound
division. The latter, a sophomore,
was the winner with a time advan
tage of only one minute eighteen sec
onds.
In the unlimited class the seniors
were again victors with Yoder defeat
ing O'Dowd by a time advantage.
In winning, the seniors scored wins
in three classes by falls and in two
by time advantages. They qualified
three men. The freshmen Won by
time in one class and qualified three.
Juniors had one winner and one los
ing finalist, while Ahe sophomores had
one winner.
She-Lions I
Not-much- progress was made last
week in intramural basketball. Kappa
Kappa Gamma defeated Chi Omega,
17-to-14, thereby removing that team
from its position as a contender for
the championship of the blue team.
The Kappas cannot be considered
a serious threat to the Theta supre
macy since they have already been
badly defeated by the Stone House
sextet. Delta Gamma's coming game
with Gamma Phi Beta will not endan
ger their lead on the white team.
Scheduled games are:
Tuesday, Armory, 9:15
Alpha Chi Omega vs. Kappa Alpha
Theta
Alpha Omicron Pi vs. Woman's
Building
Wednesday, Armory, 7:15
Alpha Chi Omega vs. Down Town
Girls
Kappa Kappa Gamma vs. Mac hall
Phi Mu vs. Woman's Building
Grange vs. Theta Phi Alpha
Tonight at a W. A. A. board meet
ing, the head manager of baseball for

All women who wish to be candidates
for this position are urged to sign up
in Mac hall lobby before this eve
ning,
Rifle matches will start the first
Friday after the next semester opens.
The ten high scorers and two alter
nates will be chosen after each Tues
day and Thursday practice to com
pete in the weekly matches with the
men's teams:
Practices have been progressing in
the Armory since before Christmas.
Jerry Jennison, maintaining her rec
ord of last season, has been the most
consistent high scorer, and Kitty
Wagner and Selena Wunderlich are
also making good records. Among
the freshmen, Dotty Bollinger and
Bobby Diehl have made marked pro
gress.
