BETWEEN
THE LIONS
By 808 GRUBB
One of those three-ring sports cir
cuses that crops up every now and
then on Nittany Lion schedules will
take place in Recreation Hall tomor
row afternoon and evening. Basket-.
ball, boxing and wrestling teams all
will see action in home contests, the
grapplers meeting Syracuse in the
afternoon, while the cage and ring
teams provide the evening attractions.
Speaking of three-ring circuses,
few events rival track and field events
like the Penn Relays for real eye
strain on the part of the spectators,
unless it be the early rounds of an
intercollegiate wrestling tournament.
With three matches being run at one
time, the spectator gets a good work
out. Almost as good, in fact, as Char
lie Speidel does in his contortionist
act during a dual meet.
There will be between .5,000 and 6,-
000 persons in Bee Hall tomorrow
night. But there is one person who
cannot be there and it is to this per
son that attention of the crowd will
be directed. Whitey Rhoda should be
in Rec Hall tomorrow night. Lion
followers should be applauding him.
Instead the former football and box
ing star lies in Bellefonte Hospital,
suffering from burns received last
summer. Those who have seen Whi
tey Rhoda 'perform on the gridiron
and in the ring and those who have,
heard of his exploits will have an op-'
portunity to applaud him. When the
hat .is passed, do your bit for Whitey
Rhoda.
' The Brother Act is just as much in
vogue here at State as it ever was.
On the wrestling , team we have the
'Craighead twins, who incidentally,
are giving Coach Charlie Speidel no
little trouble because they refuse to
wrestle each other to determine where
they stand. Trying to emulate his
brother Jay's success on the basket
ball floor is Howard McWilliams, a
member of the freshman squad.• Lu
ther Singley, who has been working
out on the mats for the past four
years„comes from a long line of Penn
State athletes. Brother Gene '29 was
a member of the Lion nine for three
years, while Glen '33 and Edwin '3o'
followed the same sport. Now David'
'4O is a candidate for the freshman
wrestling team.

Both Teams Have Clean Records

four severe tests in Recreation hall tomorrow night at 7 o'clock.
What is probably the longest intercollegiate ring rivalry will be renewed
when the Lions and Middies clash, Since 1920, shortly after college boxing
started, Penn State and Navy have met fifteen times. It wasn't until last
year that Coach Leo llouck's team was able to defeat the always tough mid
shipmen, although there was one tie back in 1928.
In addition to marking the first boxing win over Navy, last year's meet
saw Coach Houck fulfilling a pre-meet bet by wearing spats, derby, and cane
for a week following the.important victory.
