Friday, January 25, 1.93 j Matmen Lion Matmen Open Season On Saturday Florida Team Replete With Torso-Twisters Of High Caliber. By VANCE PACKARD Fresh from a clime of balmy breez es and billowy palm trees, the wrest lers from Coral Gables, Florida, will run - into Something snore distressing than frigid weather when they trot to their bench in Rec Hall tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. True, four Florida A. A. U. °limn pions are included in the Miami Tanks —not to mention a couple of runner ups in the. National finals., Also, it LS true that they over-powered the Cuban Olyinpic team in their only meet this season. But that does not seem to especially worry Coach Char lie Speidel and his cohorts. Not — only is it taken for-granted that a Nittany grappling team never loses a contest on its own Rec Hall mats, but what is more import ant, the team this year is composed Of some really talented torso-twist ers. Capt. Red Johnston, Jack Light, Bill Cramer, and Searamy Diltito can stack up against the best of the East, South, North, or West, and not be very embarrassed by the comparison. Tine-up Tentative For this first meet, the line-up is, very tentative. The team is still feel ing around to find out its real strength. On Wednesday night, all of the positions had been determined but two—those being the 126-pound berth and the heavy-weight job. These two positions seem to be the weakest on the team at the present time. In the latter, Lou Kreizman is still practice-teaching in Altoona' and will not be available for service until the second semester, so that Dick Eisenman and Joe O'Dowd, both sophomores, are fighting it out for the job. Scammy Dißito will have his hands full in • the 'llB-pound class. He is scheduled to meet Jimmy Abrai,, who was captain of the Miami team last year, was State A. A. U. champion, runner-up in the National tourney, and who has never been thrownt,in his wrestling career.

After 'a thoroughly enjoyable rough-and-tumble Wednesday night, Paul Civitts won the nod over Jack Calvin to win the 145-pound :position.

Of 16-game Card To Face Bucknell Here February 6; Bisons `Behind 8 Bain Hy CHARLIE SCHWARTZ With the first half of their sixteen game schedule in the background, the Lion courtmcn are looking ahead to wards a much tougher array of op ponents next semester. At present their average is .633—five victories and. three defeats. One of these de feats, Temple, can be considered a "moral victory." But now the hard sessions appear on the schedule—Bucknell, Army, St. Thomas, Navy, Carnegie Tech, Col , gate, Syracue, and Pitt, in that order. The Lions will take the floor against the first of these three opponents as slight favorites, but with the • other five teams it is a different story. Bucknell has. done nothing to brag about this year; in fact it's lost every one of its games so far. It will be here on February 6. Temple trouced the Bisons, 66-20, on January 8, while Villanova turned them back, 46-30, on January 15. The game with Pitt was cancelled and they bowed to Georgetown. Against Army here on February 9 the Lions Must watch three men; Wright Hiatt, captain and center; Joe Stancook, left forward and Da walt, right forward. The Cadets open ed their season against Johns Hopkins, downing them, 45-23. Duke reversed the procedure the same week, turning the Cadets back, 34-16. In the third game Army spruced up and won a hard-fought game from Col gate, 33-26. St. Thomas will send a quintet of unknown power here on February 13. Led by Captain Eddie Deitch, 194- pound football star, and coached by Jack Harding, the Tommies boast a tall and husky quintet. Deitch, in cidentally, is the iron man of the squad. He played every minute of the fifteen games in which St. Thomas engaged in last season. He is 6 feet , 4 inches tall. and plays center. St. Thomas - . defeated Wheaton; 92-23, soon • 'after • the Lions tinned ,them back; 53-36.'! . . •."

' Back home again on Washington's birthday, the Lions will try their against Carnegie Tech. Tech ' has been successful in two of four Eastern Intercollegiate conference games this year, although it did lose a heart-breaking 38-37 decision to Pitt in the final second of play in the game three weeks ago. Captain Ted Riggs, veteran guard; Hugh James, 6-foot-7-inch center; Charley Saisak, flashy football half back; and Babe Patt, sophomore foot ball end, are the leading performers high performer, was the mainspring for the Skibos'. Patt, former Altoona high performer was. the mainspring in the defeat of Temple Monday night. Colgate and Syracuse games are away on March 1 and 2, while Pitt will close the Lions' season here on March 9. The Lions had little trouble in putting on a flashy display against . Lock Haven Wednesday night, romp ing over them, 96-20. Coach Leslie used three complete teams. same manner, Captain Red Johnston should trounce another state champ, Eddie Pedrow, in the 165-pound class. The reason for this rather premature cocksureness is that we think the United States is slightly larger than Florida and nothing short of a potential national cham pion will ever phase either of these wrestlers. Ray Yoder will probably have con siderable difficulty with Galen How ell in the 175-pound class.. Whitey Wolcuff, the pugilistic grappler, will be Miami's representative in the un limited division.

By HARRY HENDERSON It's an "all-around athlete" boxing team that Miami University will bring here to meet the State boxers in Recreation hall tomorrow night, for three of the southerners ire members of the wrestling team which will battle the Lion wrestlers that afternoon, The three "iron men" are Charley Clanton, who fights at 125 pounds, Jimmie Abras, 118 pounder, and Whitey Wolcuff, Hurricane heavy weight. • Wfiether these men are the iron men they hope to be or not will be found out Saturday night. Team May Prove Tough Miami is bringing only a mediocre team here, although most of its box ers hold 'individual titles of some sort. The southern school, however, is in clined to take its boxing seriously, and is expected to give State at least a run. for the money. Scotty McLaughlnn, 135 pounder, and Gene Schoor, in the 145 pound class, are State 'A. U. Ti. champs. Schoor has held the state title in New Jersey for the last two years. Swede Olsen, Miami's 155 pounder, was a finalist in the Detroit Golden Gloves tourney two years ago. Despite the apparent experience of the Miami boxers,' only tWo of them, Denny Leonard, 165 pound class, and Jimmy Abras, 118 pounder, are vet erans. Bill Britain, son of Jack Brit ain, whom Coach Leo Houck fought many times in his younger days, was beaten out of the 155 pound berth by Swede Olsen. Coach Billy Regan, i of Miami, is a former pro light weight. McAndrews To Meet Abras Francis McAndrews, who has a knockout to his credit already, will I probably be the Lion ,boxer who will meet Jimmy Abras in the 118 pound class. Captain Mike Zeleznock will take do Charley Girtman, Miami wrestling boxer, in his usual weight, 125 pounds. Larry Madison will probably fight Scotty.MoLaughlan in the 135 pound class. Frankie Goodman, 'who took over his first intercollegiate opponent last Saturday night, is slated' to meet the Miami 145 pounder, Gene Schoor. Lew Ritzie will probably be moved down from the 165 pound class to the 155 pound class by Coach Houck to meet Swede Olsen. Sawchak will probably fight the Miami 175 pounder, Bob Ryder, while "Whitey" Abode, who knocked his man out in the second round at Cor nell last Saturday, will fight another blonde youth, Whitey Wolcuff, Miami heavyweight. She-Lions. The first rifle match of the season took place this afternoon with seven upperclass and four freshman girls competing against the R. 0. T. C. team. The girls who took part are Kitty Wagner with an average score of 97; Ruth Everett with 95'; Jerry Jennison, 94; Dot Woodward, 94; Se lena. Wundeioich, 94; Alma Doran, 93; Frances Conklin, 92; and Fran ces Nissely, 92. The freshman girls are Dotty Bollinger with 92; Martha Clark, 90; and Mary Weir, 92.- The girls' rifle team will probably be selected from the results of this match, but those who participate in the weekly matches will be chosen on the basis of their weekly scoring at practices. Interclass basketball will begin after the new semester opens. The usual methods will be used in run ning off these contests since the round robin method which' was introduced into intramural basketball has not been an unqualified success. Under the new system, too many games were forfeited and the inter est of the groups was very sluggish. The fraternity women were consistent in their attendance at practices and games, because they were urged to participate, for the "honor of the house." The interest of non r f rater city groups was decidedly lacking. The system did succeed in that it brought more women into active par ticipation in athletics, but the inter est was not spontaneous enough to warrant the continuance of the sys tem. Gelsie Ferdinand defeated Janet Beman in the elections for head base ball manager for the spring season. The selection of a sophomore girl for the position was tt change from the habitual' methoil of choosing upper elass'girls for managerial jobs. Tiny Graham was chosen head hockey manager, and her junior as- THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN ersburg as Boxers Meet H Bezdek Chosen Boxing Rules Committee Head Hugo Bezdek, director of the Sohool of Physical Education and Athletics, has been notified recent ly of his appointment as chairman of the boxing rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic association.

Gymnasts Thrill Sports Followers Exhibitions Between,Halves Of R.ec Hall Contests Win Praise of Fans 1 1 Penn State's gym team has come into the limelight this season by virtue of their excellent exhibitions between halves of the recent basketball games. Wednesday night's display was "tops" so far as entertainment for the spectators was concerned. '• Captain Don Master's opened the evening's exhibition with a display of talent on the parallel bars. Follow ing Masters, Russell Rose and two ,'lfreshmen, Sam Beck and George Ter williger staged a "clown , aet." This latter met' with instant approval of the crowd assembled. At other games exhibitions on the parallel bars, the horses, and in tumbling were given. Coach Walke's proteges are this year making their first real bid for student approval of their activity. Two meets are sche duled for the team this year. The first, with Panzer College here on February 16, and the other at West Point on February 23. Pete Lektrick is up to his old form and may counted npon to win his contests on the ropes, while Sid Mann, a veteran from his fieshrnan year, is scheduled to perform on the parallel bars. Whitey Anderson, alin'a veteran from his fieshman 4ean.: pulled a ligament in his leg at practice and may not be able to act anymore this year. Whitey was counted upon to work on the high' bar event, however, Tom Gluys has returned t.ii::the . team and•-is preparing -to ttikeliatplace. . Ray Mattern, a sophmag 'and new corner to ,the team is giving captain Masters close competition in the tumbling event. Undoubtedly Mattern will be able to fill Masters vacancy work on the high bar event; - however. school, Charley Horsedick has return ed in great form and will greatly strengthen the team for their coming meets.' Frahk Hugus, who .performed on the horses at basketball game ex hibitions, will also take care of that event in the interscholastic meets. Local Swimming Team Calls For Candidates After losing its first meet of the year the Glennland swimming team is planning a strong comeback in preparation for the meet -February 12 with either Lewistown or Johns town Y. hL C. A. Any students interested in trying out - for this team are invited to re port to the pool - any atic , rna'on at 4 o'clock. The squad has been-bolstered by the .return of Cumming, a sopho niore who swam last year in the dis tant swims, as well as Cooper and Masters to aid in the diving events. The same team who lost to Wilkes- Barre last Friday by-the score of 35- 29 has been working out daily under the watchful eye of Coach Galbraith and are now on a definite' training schedule. Coach Galbraith predicts a great decrease in the swimming time Of all the members of the team. The relay team set a new pool re cord Friday night of fifty-eight sec onds for 120 yards. . . sistants ere Peg Doherty and Mim Ellowitch. For the same sport, the senior class manager is Jane Fern sler ; junior class manager, Peg Brat ton; and sophomore' manager, Polly Lowe. The close of the intramural bas ketball season was characterized 17y a . general falling-off of the interest of groups, Most of the games scheduled for this week were forfeit ed,• and the games that were played did not affect the standings of the groups on the teams. WATCH CIZYSTALS Pitted Promptly and Properly at CRABTREE'S 182 Allen Street liftmen To Open 6-Card Schedule Tomorrow Night Navy, Syracuse, Army Will Furnish Most Opposition. By HARRY HENDBRSON Having brushed aside the opposi tion which Cornell's neophyte boxing team offered in the first meet of the year, the State boxing team is once again moving toward the winning of another leg on the Intercollegiate boxing schedule. Tomorrow night the Lions meet the Miami boxers. This meet should give the State boxers a little more experi ence, very little more prestige, and certainly not too much trouble. Re ' gardless of how good a team is, if it has three of its men participating in. another sport on the same day, it cannot be as strong as it would be without such activity. And Miami is certainly no exception to this rule. Maryland Difficult But the meet with the Maryland boxing team in Maryland's ring Feb ruary 9 is altogether another matter. Maryland will represent the first really competent team that State will have to meet. Penn State has only competed with Maryland once. That was last year and Maryland came out on the topside by a score of 41fi-to -3./2 when State forfeited the unlim ited bout. While it will offer real competition, Maryland should offer only that and State should come out the victor. February 16 the Lion boxing team will move southward to Annapolis where they will fight the Navy box ers. Here is competition higher even than that of Maryland. Spike Webb has always had one of the toughest teams on State's schedule, and if one is to compare past scores the tough est, for the midshipmen have won twelve of the meets in the past and tied two, with State failing to regis ter a single victory. As much as we'd like to, we can predict at the best only a tie for the Lions. Right after the Navy meet, State will find itself facing Syracuse, the intercollegiate championship team of the last,three years. Syracuse is es pecially well-prepared this year for almost every weight. At present the only weakness in the Syracuse line up is in the light weights. Much of the Orange. .strength especially in the.se weights is being recruited from the junior varsity and freshinen teams of last year. Last night (if you will believe us) trying to get the latest on Campts News, we scooped the following con versation: Grange Dormer: "Why, of course I'm going to Senior Ball, it will be the biggest dance in years. You're go ing, aren't you?" • Mac Haller: "Yes, but I don't know with whom. I've had so many bids that I'm not sure which would be the best d'ate. .Hummel, Louis H., Oscar F., Harry W., and Sheldon C. have all called me." * • Grange Dormer: "With all those swell fellows on the list you will have a hard time deciding." Mac Haller: "This Irving Aaronson and his 15 Com manders really are swell to dance, too; and I understand that he has some smooth arrangements." 'Grange 'Dormer: "Another reason why so many are goirig, this year is because the price is so reasonable. You know it's only .83.30 this year, favor included." Mac "Well, I'll see you then on the Bth. May be we can exchange dances." Don't Miss Senior Ball. Eperybody Will Be There. INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS By JOHN .HILLER Results of the intramural boxing tourney show that Phi Delta Theta captured the title with a total of twenty-five points as Phi Kappa Sig ma followed a close second with three points less. Phi Sigma Delta came in as an unthreatening third with less than half the number of points (twelve) than were scored by the winner. • A. Davis '35, Chi Upsilon, won the title while John F. McCarthy '3B, an independent fighter, carried the 125 pound honors. Phi Kappa Tau was represented by Ned 0. Engle '35, the winner of the third place in the 135 pound class. Two other independent fighters won the decisions in the 195 and 155 pound classes. In the first class, Vic tor P. Buell '3B was the victor, while Wayne E. Oliver '37 came through on top Sor the heavier weight title. Thomas A. Campion '3B, Sigma Pi,' carried the wreath of the 165 pound ers in this division, while Luther B. Barth '37, Sigma Phi Epsilon, shone in the 175 pound class. Fighting in the unlimited division, William B. Perlman '37, Phi Sigma Delta boxer, did the most damage to his oppon ents. Turning now from the ringside to the contestants in the basketball field, one difference is notable. Where in the boxing it was one man pitting his wits—and his punch—against one man, the basketball court gives five men on each team an opportunity to star. And for the most, part, little team-work is dominant in the man for-man defensive, as well as offen sive, attacks of the squads. On account of the varsity basket ball squad preparing for the tilt with St. Thomas, the league schedule has been neglected for the past several days. However, things will begin to move more rapidly now as the var sity has relinquished some of the floor space and the "show goes on." The first game will see the Beaver House vs. Phi Kappa Tau. This match was supposed to have been played last week, but was postponed at the request of both houses. Theta Chi met Alpha Phi Delta and the Beta Kappas matched their basketball tactics with those of Chi Upsilon. Pi Kappa Phi met Unit No. 3 of the non-fraternity men and hon ors for the championship between Tau Sigma Phi and Alpha Zeta were even ly Matched. In order that no team will be forced to forfeit a game which it might oth erwise win, William Scott '36, intra mural -head, announced that - before' a team will be permitted to go on the floor, it must show that the exami nation has been taken. • art LISTENIN' IN Page Three mcanes '3B Matmen Face Veteran Team in Tomorrow's Meet State Team Numbers 2 Y. M. C. A. Champs In 118, 175. Meeting a powerful Mercersburg Iteam which includes at least four vet 'eran grapplers, the freshman wrest ling team will have its initial baptism of fire, in Rae Hall, tomorrow at 2 o'clock. In spite of reports crediting the prep boys with great strength the freshmen should have things pretty much their own way. Freddy Stegmaier will tie them up in the 118 pound class. Fred was Eastern Pennsylvania Y. M. C. A. champ, and will probably have a vet eran to contend with; in the 12G pound class, Bob Reynolds, who gain ed the championship in that class last week. Aldo Zazzi, Eastern states In terscholastic champion, should have no trouble in the 115 pound class, al though he will meet a veteran Her cersburg mat man. Either Les Cramer, who shows promise of even greater brilliance than his famous brother Clayt, or Friolo, last year Bethlehem high wrestler, will be the 145 pound repre sentative. Meeting "South" Renick, Mercersburg's most formidable mat man, Frankie Sisco, Eastern States' Interscholastic champ in the 155 (poundo class, will have his hands full. Jack Economos, freshman football captain, will have the chance to prove his versatility as the 165 pound rep resentative. The president of the freshman class, Ross Shaffer, amateur cham pion of Harrisburg, and fourth in the national Y. M. C. A. mat tourney, should have little difficulty in dispos ing of his 175 pound opponent. Heavy weight representative will be either Dan De Marino or Bill Ellwood. In cidentally, around 1023, there was a wrestler at this school, of no mean ability, named "Pop" Ellwood. The reason "Pop" was called "Pop", is • just becoming apparent today in young Bill, who was born here at State College while his father was at tending the college and covering him self with glory as intercollegiate wrestling champion. _ It has been estimated recently that there are still more'than four million illiterates in America, despite the great efforts made to educate the peo ple of the nation.
