State has twenty-five while the second school, Navy, has only nineteen. It is interesting to note that Army, the other service academy, has but one. Most of State's champions have been lightweights. So far six Lion boxers have gained the 115-pound title. They are McClernan '25; Julie Epstein '29, who is now writing movie scenarios; Davey Stoop, cham pion in '3O, '32, and who visited here two weeks ago; Johnny Napoleon '33, Get Your Home-town Newspaper at the Nittany News Stand Books for Your Library, Books Summer Reading, Shelf worn Titles, MARCH BOOK SALE,. .

The other State boxers who have held intercollegiate titles are Frank '24, Benediek '27, and Marty Mc- Andrews '2O, all in the 175-pound class. Madera held the heavyweight title in !24 and now 'famous Steve llamas held that title in '27 and '29. It is interesting to note that State has never had a champion at 155- or at 105-pounds. , Natators Average 44 Points for 5 Meets In their five meets contested so far this year, the Glennland swimming team has averaged forty-four points per meet while holding their oppon- ! ents to an average of twenty-six 'points per meet. They, have conipiled 221 points as compared with 132 for' their opponents. Working a little far-' , ther with these figures we find that they scored within one-third of twice as many points as their opponents. Every one of the last four meets has found new records being set for the pool. Every event has had a new time made and seine have had their times broken as many as three times in the four meets. The season is not yet finished. The Sunbury Y. M. C. A. swimming team will oppose the Glennland swimmers Friday night, March' 22. The following Friday night, March 29, the Norristown Y. M. C. A. team will be swimming in the Glennland pool. In addition to these there may be a meet with the Johnstown Y. 11. C. A. team. She-Lions Intramural sports are progressing merrily and several of the final games will be played Monday, marking the close of the winter season in sports.

Two games were forfeited. In the volley ball semi-fi nal round, Alpha Chi Omega plays Delta Gamma; Grange meets the Thetas; and Theta Phi Alpha will play with Woman's building. The shuffle board tournament is still in its semi-final stage. Alpha Omicron Pi won from Alpha CM Omega, and the Delta Gammas swamped. the Chi Omegas. Grange won from Gamma Phi Beta, and the Thetas defeated the Kappas by a big score. Next week, Alpha Omicron Pi meets the Delta Gamma squad and the Thetas will take on Grange dorm.

They defeated the'seniors in Rec hall Monday, while the' juniors were beating the fresh men again. The juniors just man aged to defeat the seniors on Tues day by a 23-to-22 score. Due to the new interest there is a very strong possibility that there will be an Army-Navy tgame in basket ball.

FETCHIT THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Matmen To Face Decade-Old Jinx In I. C. Tourneys The Penn State wrestlers are enter ing their seventeenth Intercollegiate tournament today with a ten-year-old jinx leering them in the face. For a decade, now, the Lions have had smashing success in their dual meets, but have alwayi been snowed under in the Intercollegiates. It is this fickle finger of. fate that is worrying Penn State Wrestling enthusiasts this week-end. There seems to be little doubt that Penn State has the best team East of the Mississippi, at least. One can juggle comparative scores as much as ho wishes, and still Penn State will loom head and shoulders above any other member of . the Eastern Inter collegiate League. However, as Coach Charlie Speidel says, "Records don't mean a thing' in . the Intercollegiates." "Breaks" Important It is very possible for a team, with a record such - as Penn State has, to enter the Intercollegiates, and be nosed out by teams which it has drubbed with ease in dual competition. In the coming two-day jamboree any thing can happen and the strong team that gets the "breaks" will .win. When thre'e teams are in a close battle for first place, the distribution of the strength of the three teams is also a very important factor. This situation has arisen in the present tournament. Princeton, Lehigh, and Penn State are unquestionably the leading contenders. Although State is admitted to be the best team, the strongest men of the State and Princeton teams are in the same weights, while the Lehigh men will have little competition from either team. Consequently the Princeton- State scores may be split, and Lehigh will walk off with the tournament for the fifth consecutive time. State Dual Meet Records It is "lousy breaks" such as these which have kept the State team from winning the tournament several times during the past ten years. In the past decade; State has alwayS had excellent records in dual competition. In five of thdsikten years, Penn' State has never been - defeated by a - fellow league member, but in the Intercolle giates it has always been nosed out by these same teams. With the, .exception of, the Lehigh meet last year, Penn State has. never been beaten in ,dual competition by a league membek.since 1928, .Nayy, a non-member, has been the only. team that has been able, to ,win over. Penn State. , With - this in . view, .Charlie's "Records don't mean a thing" can not be taken as an, over-cautious plati tude. Nittany. Fencers Leave For Meet Undefeated So` far this season, the Lion fencing team left early this morning to meet Johns Hopkins to night and Pennsylvania tomorrow afternoon. The team will go to Baltimoic first to engage Johns Hopkins, whose teams have shown consistently clever sword play for years. Tomorrow afternoon, the fencers will meet Penn. in what promises to be the stiffest battle of the season, according to Coach Welke.'" Coach Welke has taken a six-man team, including two foilmen, two epeemen, and two sabermen. Those making the trip were: Captain Kree ger, Lipeczky,' Storrs, Allen, Gookin, and Lewis. By winning their first two meets, the Nittany swordsmen have gained a great deal more confidence in their ability, both individually and as a fighting unit, than they had before. By defeating Syracuse 10-7 and Cor nell 9-8, the Lions have piled up a convincing enough record to show that they are' to be reckoned with in the East. CHAPTER PAPERS ALL FRATERNITY and CLUB PRINTING NITTANY 'PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY 110 W. .College Avenue INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS Wrestling Prediction Although the finals Of the wrestl ing tournament have not been run off, as this is being written Phi Delta Theta seems to be the probable win ner. Before the finals the score stood, Alpha Chi Sigma, fifty-one; Phi Delta Theta, fifty, however, the Phi Delts had four men in last night's finals, all probable winners, while the Alpha Chi Sigs had only one. Predicting further: the Phi Delts beat the Alpha Chi Sigs by a score of at least sixty-five to at most fifty-one. Let's look at last night's finals. In the 116-pound class Stegmaier, Delta Upsilon, took Hibshman, independent. The 125-pounders put on a plenty close scrap but Romano, independent, finally got the nod over S. A. E. Weimer. Zazzi, Alpha Phi Delta, took Carlson, Alpha Chi Sigma's only finalist, to the mat in the 136-pound division. Cramer, independent, beat Horst, Delta Theta Sigma, for the 145-pound class medal. Phi Delta Theta won the meet by winning all four of the heavy division matches. Sunday had plenty of trouble getting the nod over Strand ine, Pi Kappa Alpha, in the 155-pound class, and Johnson got a fall over Buczkowski, Chi Upsilon, 165-pounder. In the 175-pound class, Shaffer and Eshback, independent, both freshmen varsity wrestlers gave each other plenty of competition. Shaffer's ex perience prevailed, however, to credit him with a fall. Heavyweight Pohe, prevailed. over Murphy, independent, in the last match of the night, getting five points for a fall. Predictions, all predictions!

Eight victories in seventeen games —an average . of .476—is not an im pressive record for the Nittany Lion basketball team to turn in. Especial ly when only one of those eight vic tories was against a first-ylass.oppon. ent, Army, who played minus the set vices of their Captain and their var sity center. The Lions played spasmodic bas ketball this season. When they work ed together they looked like a first class quintet, but this didn't happen very often. Probably the best game of the year was against Temple• here on January 9, when, the Owls were extended to an extra period before they won, 35-33. But the only reason this happened was that . the Owls had an off night. Will Enter Conference The Lions won their seven set-up games against Ithaca, Wheaton, Ju niata, Western Maryland, Washing ton and Jefferson, Lack Haven; and Bucknell without much trouble. But when they faced the experienced and well-coached teams of league caliber they were blank-outs. The last six games are proof enough of this. Next year Tenn State will be in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball• conference; playing at' least two games each with Pitt, Temple, West Virginia, Georgetown, and Carnegie Tech. All of these are top-notch teams, and the conference is a hotly contested one. Worst Season in Years . Another season like the one just completed, which was the worst for Penn State in several years, will, be a disastrous start in the conference. The Blue and White is taking Buck nell's place in the conference, but we hope . they' are not going to follow this too literally. The :BiSons were in the cellar of this conference for quite some time. The reasons for this poor season are numerous. It may have been the sudden increase in the number of games. Last, year the team played but twelve games, the year before that it was eleven whereas this year's schedule included seventeen. But next: year it will be', nineteen or twenty! , .!•,' Or, it might be - that the'Lions'Went stale between the= Teniple 'gime ;on Jontiary 9 and the Army contest on February 9, during which time they played and •won'five set-ups.

'With all due credit to Jiih Hunter, who was sadly lacking in ex perience, but who showed consider able improvement as the•season pro gressed, the Lions haven't had a real center in a good many years. Leslie had two good men on his team this year. Captain Johnny Stocker shone consistently at for ward, and Frank Smith was the fight ing impetus of the team at guard. The other members of the squad were good in spots, but the whole trouble was that their playing was too spotty. They didn't work together as a team. They were two inen and three others on the court playing against a team. That was the rea son for the outcome of all the other games: Rutgers, Penn, Temple,' St. Thomas, Navy, Carnegie Tech,- Col gate, Syracuse, and, above all, Pitt.
