Tuesday. Match 16, 1.1137. Between The Lions ** ' Hats off to the Lion wrestling rind boxing teams! To the Wrestlers goes the credit of doing the unpredictable by, not only, retaining their eastern team champ ionship, but by winning fiVe individ ual titles for the most decisive' vie tOry in the association's history. To the ringmen .goes just as much credit for doing as well as they did in the face of the odds which - presented themselves. at Syracuse. ,For, while losing tlic coveted ring championship by the barest margin the -Lion-boXerS proved their superiority in sports manship.' . . .

Frazier St. Phone 2793 By 808 GRUBB comodations for the conduct of in tercollegiate tournaments were woe fully inadequate at both schools, was the discourteous treatment received by the teams at the lianas of the spectators. The ruisup in the O'Dowd-Stern gold semi-final decision at Lehigh is a prime example of both these points. In the - first place, the decision Friday night which placed Sterngold in the finals was caused by an error in tim ing—something that should never htive_haPPened had this department Of the tourney been functioning per feCtly. When the error was diSe6v ceect and the case Pith up to the as sociation's executive committee,-there was only one soltition—to complete the extra periods of the match when it was found that there had not been sufficient tithe advantiige to juStify the refeCee's decisicin. Lehigh's officials, coach and team thernters seemed to accept the com mittee's verdict Willingly enough; but when the spectators found that o'- Dowd and Sterngold 'had fought ex tra periods and the decisiop had been reversed in favor of O'Dowd 'they threw - aside the ivies of courtesy and sportsmanship. The conduct of the crowd became so bad that every time a Penn State man stopped'on the Mat he faced a barrage of Bionx cheers. It was only after . Lehigh's'coach, Bil ly stepped on the mat and pleaded with the croii'd for.a break for the guests that the heckling sub sided. The Same picture, ptesented itself at SYracUse. The Pheision that has always characterized tournaments here was unheard of there. While the Lion wrestlers estab lished a new high for team scores in the eastern association tournaments, they also accomplished something un known in intercollegiate competition iri nineteen years by winning five of the eight individual titles. The only time that such a record has been sur passed was in 1918, Penn State's first year in the tournament when the Lions won six individual titles and set the high scoring record of 34 points _which _lusted until this year. The EIBA might take a hint from the EIWA: in the matter of conduct of its tournaments. Entries of any thing less than a full team are al most unknown in the wrestling as sociation's tournaments. Reason: There is .a penalty of five points for each man missing froth. a full team. There were nine tedfils.eritered in this year's mat tourney and all - had re presentatives in each weight, inaking 72 wrestlers in all. With such a set up to 'Work with, officials have a much easier time making the pair-I ings and there is less danger of dis crimination. The boxing association has been considering setting a rninirimm num ber. of entries for' tack team for sometime._ The main drawback here is that few schools sponsor boxing on the scale that 'obtains here and there fore do not see fit to enter full teams. A'.minimum of at least four and pos sibly six should be set, however, in an effort to make for a more compe titive type of toeimamerit. There is fie reason why any Sehool sponsoring' boxing, as •a ,yaraity...sport- . should lie'. Aowfd , ..tO.iiinrane , *:tii6(fopiaen-' 1 tatiVes to the tournament.

Miss Keeler verifies the wisdom of this pref erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro tection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process "It's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat.
