Nittany Lion winter sports teams are preparing for action that will waged on a broad front from early January until the middle of March. Cynosure of the eyes of all Lion sports followers is John Lawther, new basketball coach, who is now in the process of rebuilding a Lion five with which he hopes to emulate the success enjoyed hy his cage teams at Westmin ster, where he formerly coached. Outlook for the boxing •season is the bright est in years with a formidable array of talent in nearly every class. What Coach Charlie Speidel lacks in quality of wrestling material is made up of quantity. With only five lettermen returning to holster a mat team which lost three intercollegiate cham-' pions by graduation, Speidcl is eager ly eyeing the’ unusually large num ber of candidates for talent, Basketball Awaiting reinforcement from the varsity football and soccer ranks, 1 Coach John Lawther sent a squad of about thirty basketeers through the preliminary practice sessions last week. The lettermen from the fall sports teams were allowed a two weeks’ rest before starting another strenuous training period. Leading the late-comers to the court is Frank Smith, holder of seven varsity letters gained in three dif ferent sports. Smith and Mike Kor nick, co-captains of this year’s team, were two of the most consistent play ers last season. Sol Miehoff, varsity soccer forward, is another of last year’s lettermen to return. He was high scorer for the Lion quintet last year. Harry Harri son, three-sport star and guard from last year’s freshman cagers, will he among the candidates for berths, as will Sam “Davies, plebe captain of last season. Other gridmen turning to the indoor sport are Joe Adessa, Alf Lang, Sever Toretti, Windy Wear, ans Ott Wuenschel. About thirty-five candidates for the freshman squad remain from the large turnout that answered the first call. After eliminating a number of first-year men several weeks ago, Coach Lawther, desiring that every one should have a fair chance, issued u second call. The freshman squad, as well as the varsity, has been supplemented with some players from the gridiron. Among the group, many of whom are high school stars, are Milan Buchan, who played halfback, and Sam De- Franco, quarterback. Boxing “It appears propitious.” Thus docs the good Doctor, .Leo Houck, predict the coming season for his boxing team. Pointing out that the performance of the-Lion fighters last season does not guarantee suc cess for the coming campaign, Coach Houck nevertheless admits that 1937 looks promising. But no amount of optimism or pes simism by the Doctor, who usually is non-ccmmital about his team’s chan ces, could alter the prevailing condi- TTJTC PENN STATE COLLEGIAN tions. Probably at ‘no other time in Penn State boxing history has there been more formidable material on hand. Covered in every weight, although the 115-pound class may present a problem, the array of veterans and sophomores is indeed a murderers’ row. The presence of three Eastern intercollegiate champions, one of whom holds the National crown as well, plus a former champion and four especially talented newcomers to varsity circles, leaves the Nittany boxing public anxiously awaiting the 1937 season. Graduation of Captain Russ Cris well, Eastern title holder in the 115- pound weight, and the absence from the squad of Bobby Donato, gives Coach Houck his major problem in the lowest division. A 1 Tapman and Alex Sopshak, two sophomores, and •Bobby Shaft, a junior, are training hard in an effort to make the 115- pound weight. All three are more than husky and it remains to. be seen whether or not they will be able to come down. Frank Goodman, Eastern and Na tional intercollegiate 135-pound cham pion, is on hand again for his third season. Sammy Donato, Eastern winner and runnerup to the National crown, will fight at 145. Bill Soose, most likely looking sophomore fisti cuffer in many years, will amply take care of the 155-pound class. Captain Lou Ritzie, champion at*lss two years' ago and runner-up last season, will probably enter the 165-pound weight this season. The 17'5 and heavyweight divisions will ho more than strong with Nestor Kociubinsky, sophomore ace, and Izzy Richter, Eastern heavyweight cham pion, ready to go. Wrestling Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Champions—the Nittany Lion grap pl'ers—face a tough schedule of seven dual meets, four of which will take place on the home mats. : . Conch Charlie Speidel has five let termen returning as a nucleus to build" his team. TheywilU strengthen considerably the upper : weights, as they include Captain Joe O’Dowd, heavyweight; Ross Shaffer, 175; Joe Krupa, 165; John Calvin, 155; and Ray Brooks, 125. The three remaining weights will he seriously contested, *with Zazzi having experience at 145.

Swimming By a decision of the Athletic Asso ciation, swimming was officially plac ed on a level with the other freshman sports. The yearlings who compete in the Mcrcersburg meet on Febru ary 6 will be eligible for numerals. In a freshman-varsity meet won by the latter, Ken Bunk was the star. He won both the 100 and 150 free style events. In .the century sprint, a very close race, he beat Charlie Welsh, another sophomore, in the fast time of 57.4 seconds. Guy McLaughlin, a freshman, won the fancy diving contest, and Art Lehman" was the victor in the 50-yard free-style. Other event winners were Dick Geiger in the back stroke and Gil Burleigh in the Breast stroke. In the former, 6eiger nosed out Captain Jim Camming. The varsity relay team proved too strong for the freshmen in the final event. CATERERS!
