To Get New Springboard
Though the Wilkes-Barre team is
composed mostly of high 'school boys

says a new standard intercollegiate
springboard will be installed for the
meet in which Krassner and Helriegel
will dive for the A. C. '

hold-over, will swim in the 150 yd.
backstroke competition. The diving,
as said before, will be taken care :of
by Krassner and . Helriegel, both

victor sixteen times in the past
twenty meets. Syracuse has been de

Speidel Sparkles As
Seconds, Scribblers,
Scrubs Seek Solace
By VANCE PACKARD
"Now let's ice; where was I?"
Wrestling coach Charlie Speidel,
clad in .his aged uniform, had just
disposed of one of the minor managers
who had been haunting him for some
time, and whirled to face the vast ar
-ray of managers, grapplers, and re
porters—each one of whom was try
ing to capture his individual atten
tion.
Bob Johnston, 155 pounder was
closest. The coach tried to scowl and
said, "Now what's wrong with you?"
Before Bob had finished explaining
that his neck was stiff, Charlie had
grabbed it dexteriously, snapped it,
and the several vertebraes, could be
heard rumbling into place. "Feel
better?" The dazed grapple moved his
neck pensively and said "Un, huh."
But before he could get his answer
out, Charlie had flitted away; Jack
Calvin, sophomore husky, wanted him
to show him some new ways to get
out 'from underneath.' Charlie let the
pupil crawl on top of him and grap a
firm hold. Four seconds later the
pupil was sprawling on his back, with
the playful Charlie astride him. They
repeated the process, only Jack was
on the bottom, and they went through
it slow-motion, with Charlie giving
his machine-gun like instructions. But
the crowd would never leave him
alone.
This time it was the reporter, and
the ever-obliging Charlie hopped to

Oiti of Lineup

who will be out of the line-up for
at least two weeks because of a
fractured right wrist received in
the Juniata game.
Phi Delts Lead
Boxing Tourney
Hold 1 Point Margin• Over Phi
Kappa Sigma; Third Place
Honors Undecided.
Phi Delt's slugging gridders held
their lead in the intramural boxing
jamboree when they captured two
•championships and a second place in
the finals at Rec Hall Wednesday
night. They now have a .total of
twenty-four points and, Phi Kappa
.Sigma is in a close second position
with twenty-three points. The third
place individual winners and the
tourney, will be decided this afternoon
at 4.
When the finals opened, the Phi
Dolts were leading by one point and
in the contest both they and the Phi
Kappa Sigs snagged fifteen points.
Dick IVlaurer, Phi Delt 165 pounder
was automatically awarded the title
although he was defeated by Andy
Korba in the finals. The match was an
exhibition since the person who Dick
was suppose to meet, Tommy Cam
pion, was ill Wednesday night..Korba
was recruited to pinch-hit and was
awarded the championship medal for
his efforts.
Alex Morris Surprises
In the 'opening ; bonti diminutive
Georgie May, Phi Sigma Delta fly
weight, astounded , the 5,000 specta
tors when he staged a recoup and
soundly trounced Bob Morris, Phi
Kappa Sig. George Harvey, Phi Kap
pa Sig hill-and-daler, retained his
championship in the
. 125 pound com
partment when he won the nod over
Dave Minnick, Independent.
The surprise of the evening came
in the 135 pound tilt. After being
pushed, pounded and pummeled
around the ring for two rounds, Alex
Morris, Phi Kappa Sig, recovered in
the last and clearly outboxed and de
feated Bob Donato, Alpha Phi Delt.
The most impressive mauler of the
meet appeared in the next when Sam
my Donato '3B, Independent, scored a
technical knock-out over plucky Tom
my Langan, Independent. During the
progress of the fight, the sages at the
ring -side shook their venerable heads
his feet, told an embarrassed fresh
man to take his place with Jack, and
trotted over to the edge of the mat.
"Hi, what's up now?" The reporter
had to talk, and talk fast. "Have you
picked the team for the first meet,
yet?"
Charlie explained that he hadn't
picked hay team yet. However, he ex
plained that the men who won cham
pionships in the inter-class meet had
a slight preference over the other
men in their respective classes. They
would not have to go through the
grueling pre-meet eliminations with
the other men in their weights. They
would only have to defend their title
against the .outstanding challenger.
The reporter's next •question was
waiting for him as soon as he paus
ed. "Is this Miami meet suppose to
be a set-up?" The wrestling coach
looked pained, and said, sarcasticly,
"Yeh, they're a bunch of punks—just
traveling 2000 miles up here for their
health." He dug mysteriously into the
drawer of a near-by desk, and poked
a folder in front of the reporter. On
it was a picture of a recent U. S.
Olympic team, and right there in the
front row were two men from Miami
University. No further explanation
was needed, 'and none was given
because someone elk had attracted
Charlie's attention.
A green sophomore was moaning to
the coach (and nurse) that he had
fallen and hurt his chest. Charlie was
not very tolerant. "You beginners
are always hurting yourselves—More
this year than ever before. You never
see any of the good boys hurting
themselves. They know how to handle
themselves.
. .
"You kids are too stiff and rigid
when you wrestle," and when you
fall, you're, bound to sprain some
thing. Try to relax when you wrestle.
Never clamp a death-grip on your
opponent when you're on top, but
ride lightly, and, when he shifts, You
shift."
LION COURT
W. & J. Quintet
Comes Here for
14th Encounter
Leslie Five Trounces
Western Maryland
43 to 25
By CHARLIE SCHWARTZ
The Presidents are next! Here to
morrow night for the fourteenth con
test of the series, which was begun
in 1914, Washington and Jefferson
will take the floor against a Lion
quintet which is beginning to perk
up and show old-time enthusiasm.
The Nittany courtmen will again
be without the services of their lead
er, Captain Johnny Stocker, who is
on the bench with a fractured wrist,
received in the Juniata encounter.
Coach Spike Leslie estimates that
Stocker will be off the floor for at
least two Weeks.
Lions Have Won 10 in Series
The Lions have won - ten of their•
thirteen games with W. & J., and the
quintet from -Washington, Pa., have
not emerged on the winning side of
the ledger in this annual fray since
February 4, 1922, when they downed
the Blue and White, 26 to 23. The
Lions came right back a month later
in'that year to win 32 to 15. Last
year the Red and Black was over
come, 28' to 11.
All but four 'games of the thirteen
game series have been played on
State. College courts. The easiest
time the Lions had was the first of
two games played in 1921 in which
the Presidents were swamped, 53 to
14. The second game that year also
went to the Blue and White, 26 to 23.
The Lions, as per tradition, made
Western Maryland look sick on Wed
nesday night, trouncing them, 43 to
25, although it cannot be said that
the Nittonymen were so healthy look
ing themselves. The Lesliemen led at
half time, 18 to 13.
Coach Leslie put a new line-up in
at the start of the game, and after• a
few minutes of indecision, they began
to click surprisingly -well. Acting
Captain Jimmy Smith and Van Lin
ton started at forwards,- Bar. Riley
at center, and Frank Smith and Mike
Kornick at guards.
Riley took scoring honors for• the
evening with eleven points, making
all but two of them in the second
semester. Much of the credit for his
fivo field goals should go to Frank
Smith and Mike Kornick for their
half. Much of the credit for• his
Frank trailed Riley closely with four
field and two foul tallies. Sterling
Fowble starred for the visitors by
registering ten points.
and proclaimed him as a second Al
Lewis.
In the 155 pound battle, Lee Sun
day, Phi Delt pig-skin juggler, won
a close decision over the much-talked
about freshman pugilist, Jack Blades.
Maurer of the same institution, was
automatically awarded the six points
in the 165 pound class.
In the 175 . pound set-to, Messrs,
Anderson, Delia Theta Sigma, and
Sawchak, Tau Sigma Phi, wrestled
through three wesuT rounds and Saw
chak was given the nod. In the heavy
weight division, Iggy Weber, Theta
Kappa Phi man-mountain, pushed
Harry Cromwell, Phi Delt adonis,
about the ring without much trouble.
In the third place eliminations this
afternoon, each of the two leading
clubs will have one representative, so
that the best the Phi Kappa Sigs can
possibly do is tie the Phi Delts.
Vic Buell: Phi Delt, will meet Hank
Miller, Phi Sigma Delta, for third
place in the 145-pound class, and Jim
Barr, Phi Kappa Sig, will clash with
Lou Barth, S. P. E., for third honor',
in the 175-pound division.

Hamas May Meet
English Champion
Bout To Depend Upon Decision
Of Rothenberg, German
Fight Promoter.
By JOHN MILLER
It wasn't very long ago that Steve
llamas, the Passaic, N.J. heavyweight
boxing contender for the champion
ship, couldn't get a fight. Now he has
one for each mitten and a possible
third that will be mighty hard to
overcome.
If Walter Rothenberg, German
promoter, gives his permission,
Hama; will accept an offer of $25,000
to box Jack Peterson, English cham
pion, during the first week of Feb
ruary in Wembley, England. The
offer was made by Sidney Hull, Eng
lish promoter and is being seriously
considered by Charley Harvey, vet
eran manager of the former Nittany
Lion athlete.
"I am going to live up to our con
tract to fight Max Schmeling in Ger
many sometime in March," Harvey
declared in announcing the English
bid. "Hanms would like to fight them
both and if Rothenberg is willing,
that is all that will be necessary."
The third fight pending is that with
the champion, Max Baer. As was
formerly announced, Baer has agreed
to meet any one of the five outstand
ing contenders for the title and
llamas now appears to be the most
likely choice. Not much can be de
termined concerning the Schmeling
fight or Hamas' next move until Feb
ruary 1, the last day which Rothen
berg has to deposit the $25,000 purse
in a Paris bank.

Nittany Ringmen
Will Meet Cornell
In Season Opener
Cornell To Start First
Inter-College Boxing
Tomorrow Night.
By HARRY HENDERSON
Friday noon. will sea the two
Mucks, coach and manager, respec
tively, with eight varsity boxers, in
cluding Captain Mike Zeleznock, off
for Cornell where they will meet the
Red ringmen Saturday night, inau
gurating intercollegiate pugilism in
the Ithaca school.
The Lions are meeting a very
definitely unknown quantity in Cor
nell. Why? Merely because the Cor
nellians have never fought an inter
collegiate ring battle in their history.
The boxing of the Reds so far has
been only concerned with their intra
mural and interclass fights.
A Lion Breather
Boxing was instituted at the Ith
aca school• this year because its in
terclass and intramural ring contests
have aroused so much interest that
their entrance into the intercollegiate
game was demanded by their under
graduates.
Because the Cornell team has never
before fought an intercollegiate fight
before, littfe can be said about the
prospects for their team. Very little
is known about their ringmen except
that their team is selected from in
tramural champions and that these
champions are coached by one of their
former intramural champs. Thus, it
should be a nice easy breather match
for the Lions, considering the fact
that they have some the best ma
terial in years.
Coach nuck had not announced
his 'line-up up to the time that this
paper was going to press and conse
quently a line-up here would be mere
ly a guess.
Flanders Will Speak
To Engineering Group
Dr. Ralph E. Flanders, president of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, will speak on "The En
