Lion Ringmen Defeat Cornell in Opening Me
Lock Haven is Substituted
For Susquehanna; To Face
Lion Five Here Tomorrow
Lesliemen Expect-Easy Victory After Defeating
Presidents 38-15 in Hilarious Game
Before Saturday Crowd.
By CHARLIE SCHWARTZ
Penn State courtmen will engage the Lock Haven State
Teachers' College at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night in a practice
tilt which has been substituted for the Susquehanna game, orig
inally •scheduled for Saturday night. Susquehanna had to can
cel their games this year because they had no place to work out
since their gym, burned last year.
The Lock Haven game was scheduled so that the Lions
would not have to • l'ay off a week and go any staler than they
are getting with this series of six set-ups in a row. Lock Haven
was here during the Christmas vaca-.
tion for a practice game and - the Li
ons swamped ' them. Probably . the
same thing will occur again tomor-

and Myers, forwards, who accounted
for fifteen and fourteen points, re
spectively, in that game, may give
Frank Smith and Mike Kornick a lit
tle trouble, but the rest seems easy
and the Lions will probably be able
to give another sparkling exhibition
of passing in the forward court like
they did last Saturday night against
N. & J.
The Lions romped over the Proxies
as per expectations, in a hilarious en
counter interspersed with one or two
brilliant spots, ending in a wild
scramble, 38-to-15. During' the lost
ten minutes of play, when Coach Spike
Leslie put in everybody (including
Mikelonis and Knapp), the going be
came so comical that the spectators
,began to wonder whether they were
watching a basketball game or a side
show.
Saturday night's game uncovered
Charlie Glennon, a flashy forward,
who seemed to be all over the court
at once,
sinking baskets from almost
midfield. He and Jimmy• Smith, again
acting captain,. took scoring honors
with four field, goals each. .
Glennen, who played almost three
quarters of the game, opened the scor

the toss-up with a beauty -from the

foot four -Proxy center, but all of his
bucket shots went to naught with
the exception of one. Sherm Grable,
his teammate, took scoring honors for
the visitors with six points.

Swimmers Lose
To Wilkes-Barre
Glennland A. C. Natators\,Bow
In Ist Meet of Season
By 35-27 Score.
•
An in-conditioned, quickly tiring
Glennland team lost its first swim
meet Friday to the Wilkes-Barre Y.
M. C. A. by a score of 35-to-27.
The score was settled in the final
contest, the 90-yard free style, when
Glennland failed to take the first and
second places necessary to gain points
enough to nose into the 'victory. Dav
enport and Pack won these positions
for Wilkes-Sarre.
The only other exciting points in
the meet came is the 60-yard breast
stroke and the 3D-yard free style. In
the first, Davenport barely touched
out Gil Burley of Glennland, while
the tecond found Glennland's Kecch
splashing to a close victory over the
second Davenport. During one of
the overlong breaks, a diving exhibi
tion was given by Ruth E. Lee '37, in
terspersed with a comic diving act by
Sid Krassner '3B, one of the team
,members:

Coach Galbraith is' trying to ar
range for another meet with this team
later •in the season. If such is • pos
sible it will probably be followed the
succeeding might by a meet with the
Wyoming Seminary team which is
also coached by Robert Zubrod,' the
Wilkes-Barre coach. The next meet
of •the season is dated for about Feb
ruary 15. 'The opponent for that date
has not yet been picked.
Galbraith is pleased with the re
sults, but expects the team members
to buckle down to a real period of
training. Many of the swimmers had
only. two or three days , of training,
having come out only at the announce
ment 'of the approaching meet.

Penn State wrestling enthusiasts
shudder when they think of the sched
ule :facing the wrestling team this
season. It seems that the persons
Who compiled it took special pains to
include only the most ferocious, fire
eating teams in the East.
Even though the material is the
most impressive in recent years,
wrestling fans can find only one team
on -the schedule where the Lions can
be reasonably sure 'of winning; that
being Syracuse. In predicting the
outcome of the other five dual meets,
even the 'most obnoxious optimists
would hesitate.
Miami Comes Saturday
In the opening meet, Miami Univer
sity, of Coral Gables, Florida, is
sending its crack team on a thousand
mile journey this week for the privi
lege of trying to wipe Penn State off
the wrestling map. In the past, this
school has turned out several Olym
pic 'champions, and only last month,
its wrestling team polished off the
Cuban Olympic outfit.
In the second engagement, on Feb
ruary 9, the torso-twisters from Co
lumbia will come here. The Lion
wrestlers vividly recall that lost year
they barely managed to eke out a
one-point margin victory over the Co
lumbia Lions. This year the New
Yorkers are reported to be even bet
ter. After being defeated by C. C.
N. Y. last year, the •Colombians came
back last week and beat the same
team by an impressive score.
Lehigh on Schedule
On the next week-end the Lions
journey to Carmen, and when the
meet comes off lots of people back in
State College 'will be doing some.pain
ful .wondering. , Last .year the con
test ended •in a - deadlock. In their
opening meet of this season on
Saturday, the Ithacans eradicated
Springfield by a, 23-t04.1 score.: Last
year ''Springfield 'Was 'the' -champion
' incliides Yale,
Harvard, Brown, and the rest of the
cream of New England, if'that means
anything.
Without even being given a chance
to catch their breath, the Lions will
return to their lair on the following
week to bump into the team that has
held the Eastern Intercollegiate
Championship for so long that it has
become tiresome—Lehigh! Champion
ship teams are taken for granted
there, and this year is no exception.
Nothing would fill the Lion grapplers
with more ecstatic delight than to
knock this crew off its throne.
Syracuse comes next, and although
it cannot conceivably be labeled as a
breather, it should be a let-up com
pared to the four previous meets.
Navy is listed as the final dual en
gagement for the Lions. When the
two teams met for the last time in
1932, State took.a white-washing to
the tune of 32-to-O. An elephant nev
er forgets, and neither does a Nit
tany Lion.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
WRIGHTING
BETWEEN
THE LIONS
BY FRET; W. WRIGHT
Penn State—both the students
and the College—shouldn't get too
excited over the - recent suspension
for the year of the Lion soccer
team from association competition
and the consequent awarding of
the championship for 1934 to Cor
nell, with a record of four wins
and two ties.
Cornell is an innocent bystand
er in the whole affair, a situation
brought about by Penn State using
a gentleman from Syracuse, alum
ni, and Coach Bill Jeffrey in the
line-up while on. the tour of Scot
land last summer.
The Big Red would have been
silly indeed to have turned down
the championship when it was of
fered them after Penn State's un
defeated season was wiped off the
records by the suspension at the
Association meeting last week.
It appears that some of the As
sociation officials have, made asses
of themselves by hewing so cloSely
to the line in making their deci
sion, but Penn State is not entire
ly blameless of deliberately violat
ing the sacred Association cove
nants. Coach Jeffrey became Play
er Jeffrey when one'of the other
lads who made the trip became ill.
Sines the playerS' paid their own
expenses, there was a dearth of
substitutes, and Jeffrey was doing
the only thing he knew of
,to pre
vent the Scheduled• games from be
ing cancelled — tea development that
would have reacted decidedly unfa
vorably to American soccer.
Certainly it seems that not every
fact that was taken into considera
tion in making the decision has
come to light. The facts for un
dergraduate consumption, as usual
in cases of this kind, have been re
dared to mere hand-outs.
The trouble surrounding the
whole situation was brewed in
Philadelphia. Ex-Secretary John
son is the colored gentleman who
hangs out in the'woodpile.
The Eastern Intercollegiate Soc
cer Association has too long been
dominated by persons who have not
gotten over their .undergraduate
patriotism for thel.lniversity of
Pennsylvania.
+ + +
.After years of trying to make
fencing end -gymnastics - .stand . on
their own 'feet, in the' intercollegi
ate world, it is gratifying to see
that the College athletic authori
ties who have power over the time
and place element of these events,
have begun to sandwich them in
.between basketball_ halves their
rightful place. It is, not fair to
expect the. lads to 'spend so much
energy and risk injury ;without an
audience.
+++,
Five years ago the student mul
titudes cheered 'Soup' Campbell as
he won the 155-pound intercollegi
ate wrestling title. The ticket-ta
kers were willing to applaud too,
for he packed 'ern in, and a guy
who can pack 'em in .is always a
pleasure indeed to those nabobs
who go over the attendance figures
the next morning.
But sports fame is fleeting; the
crowd soon forgets. Today Camp
bell, who will officiate at the Navy-
Lehigh wrestling match en Febru
ary 16, can't get into Recreation
hall without purchasing a ticket.

Although the five lads on the floor
took it unkindly, the last nine min
utes of the basketball game Satur
day night were probably the fun
niest ever on a court. The boys
did every act in mock seriousness
and finally wound up by doing ev
erything but losing the ball in
Mikelonis' pants.
Even Coach 'Spike' Leslie, who
ordinarily will not permit clown
ing antics on the basketball floor,
buried his head in his arms and
shook with ill-concealed mirth. The

Robert E. Weber '36, of Erie, was
elected captain of the 1935 Lion foot
ball team at a meeting of the 1934
lettermen Saturday afternoon. He
will succeed Merrill B. Morrison '35.
Weber has been a regular tackle
for the past two seasons, having
started at left tackle in every game
this season. He is six feet tall and
weighs 192 pounds. He transferred
here. from Ohio State University in
his freshman year.
The captain-elect was the "iron
man" of the Lion team during the
1934 season, having the most playing
time to his credit. Besides playing
football, he is captain-elect of the la
crosse team for the coming season.
By virtue of his victory over Harry
R. Cromwell• '37 Wednesday night, he
is intramural boxing champion in the
unlimited class. He was named to
Bucknell's all-opponent team this sea
son by Coach E. E. "Hooks" Mylin.
He is the third member of his fam
ily to gain athletic fame here. An
older brother, Joe, played varsity
football and lacrosse in 1929, and anL
other brother, Herman, starred in la
crosse in 1930, 1931,. and 1932.

The Thetas and Delta Gammas will
battle tomorrow night for laurels in
the intramural basketball tournament.
Both groups have attained the high
est honors on their teams by winning
the greatest number of games, and
the struggle will be close because the
teams are so equally matched..
Peg Abraham's spectacular playing
will be a feature of the game, and
she will be backed by the stellar per- ,
formances of Ruth Lonberger and
Dot Hennicke:' Peg Campbell and
Harriett Brakeman are the Theta's

The Penn State boxing team won its first meet on the 1935
card Saturday night when it defeated the Cornell ringmen at
Ithaca, 4 1-2-to-3 1-2. McAndrews, in the 115 pound class, and
Rhoda in the heavyweight, won their bouts by K. O.'s.
Although this was the first intercollegiate bout for the Big
Red boxers, .they did remarkably well in holding the Lion boxers
down to 4 1-2 points. Frankie McAndrews, the third of the Mc-
Andrews to wear the colors of State in the ring, knocked out
Torregrosa, Cornell' 115 pounder, shortly after the start of the
second round.

Mike Zeleznock, Lion captain,. who
is planning on defending his inter
collegiate crown in the 125 pound
class, had his man, Canzoneri, down
and out at the close of the third
round, but somehow or other the bell
rang and Mike received only a deci
sion. Canzoneri, who tried to put
up a battle against Mike's withering
blows, is a nephew of Tony Canzoneri,
former welterweight pro champ.
Larry Madison, fighting in the 135
pound class, got a draw in his bout
with Eaunders. It was very close
throughout the three rounds of the
bout. Dick Flenniken. lost the deci
sion to Cramer, of Cornell, in the
155 pound class.
Frankie Goodman, State sophomore,
won his first intercollegiate bout in
the 145 pound class, from DeGrasse.
Goodman fought a good clean offen
sive fight through the three rounds
and is now regarded as one of the
most promising boys on the team.
Thayer, big Cornell 165 pounder,
was awarded the decision over Ritzie,
Delta Gamma groun. Alpha Chi

Adler, Cornell 175 pounder, was

it tough going throughout the entire

Sawchak down a bit.
The real• surprise of the evening
came when "Whitey" Rhoda, State

fifteen seconds after the second round
opened K.O.ed the Cornell heavy
