It was a c:ean sweep for the Houck ringthen, winning all eight bouts, two by technical knockouts and the . re itainder by' decisions. Frankie Good man continued his Vietory streak in the 135-pound class by registering a T.

Wrestling • In what, generally speaking, was a rather listless affair; Penn State's wrestlers defeated Syracuse by a 22- to-6 score in Recreation hall Satur day afternoon. From the beginning of the first match it was obvious that Syracuse was strongly on the defen sive, and the relative lack of bril :ianey which characterized the match es can be attributed to this. Only defeats occurred in the 126- lb. and heavyweight divisions when two substitutes, Stegmaier and .P. Eshbach were defeated by time ad vantage decisions. Two falls were re corded for the Lions in the 1554 b. and 175 weights by Calvin•and Shaf fer, respectively. Wolfson 118, Light 135, Waite 145, and Krupa 165, chalk ed up time advantage decisions. All four undefeated men, Wolfson, Light, Waite and Shaffer preserved their perfect records. , • • Continuing a precedent established the''week before when he threw . his Navy opponent twenty seconds before the match would have ended, Jack Calvin provided •a 'breath-taking cli max to.his bout with Syracuse's Cert manin by tossing that gentleman with a double reverse bar-arm in 9:58 min utes—two seconds before the 'regula tion time was due to expire. Ross Shaffer managed to inject some'excitement into the afternoon by suddenly tripping his opponent, Pe ters, and throwing him with, an arm lock and body press An 4:37 minutes. Previous to the fall both•men scented to be rather evenly matched and the sudden turn of events came as a dis tinct surprise to the spectators. Captain Jack Light was the only Lion who encountered the same man he wrestled in the Syracuse meet last year and - he bettered by thirty-three seconds the time advantage which he gained from Dome at that time. Jack had little difficulty -in winning Sat urday with .a time advantage of 8:48 minutes, Outside of Crotty and Crowe who won their matches, the only Syracuse man to shoe• any offensive ability was Ken Wilbur who forced Joe Krupa to go an extra four minutes in order 'to. satisfy the referee as to Joe's superi ority.

Coon' played the drdhis, seated out in front of the orchestra, a setup introduced by the Nighthawks. In 1927, the band left the Black hawk for seasons at the Ilotel Ter race restaurant in New York and the Book-Cadillac'hotel in Detroit.
