!will display the talent acquired from
two weeks of practice between halves
of the exhibition game at the basket

Coach Gene , Bischoff has available
the largest number of candidates ever

.he calibre of the material. Beside
Back and Runkle, lettermen .return
ing from last year are Al' Kligman
and Julian Parton, - performing on the

more aspirants who probably will se

Greatest Rah-Rah' Pro Heavy
"Steve llamas ... a college product who has gone higher up the
n pugili.4tic,:fame than any other former Rah-Rah boy" was the . tri
to one of Penn Slate's greatest all-around athletes.
Most everyone knows of Steve's accomplishments in the sqUaredOircle—
of winning 27 straight fights, 24 of them by knockouts; his climaxing vic
tory over the - great master,' Tommy Loughran; and then of his saddening
loss to Max Schmeling two 'years ago in.spermany.
' Before his graduation' from Penn State in 192 P, Steve won three•letters
in football, three in boxing, two in basketball, two in track, and one in la
ert.sse—eleven in all.
Herdayed football and basketball in his sophomore year, and after the
latter season Coach Leo Houck persuaded thik 105-pound youngster to don
the glcves. Two weeks later - he won the intercollegiate heavyweight champ
ionship! •
On the afternoon of the final basketball game of the 1927-28 season,
Houck persuaded the basketball couch to permit Hamas to. box in a dual
meet with, Temple. He won - by a technical knockout over Swede Hansen of
the Owls in the third round of this fight and that evening played a fUll
game of basketball, topping off the day by going to a dance later.

During the school year 1887-88
Penn State boasted of a faculty of
17, 140 men students, and 27 wo

vision of George W. Atherton, who
was president of the College. It was
