•Tiiesaar, January js, 1933 GAGERS Lions Tangle With Bucknell Here Tonight By JOHN A. TttOANOVITCH Shades of Jack Gocke flitted across the floor r.-f Recreation’hall Saturday night as a little man in blue riveted himself in the Eastern .Conference spotlight with a one-man perfor mance that spearheaded Penn State’s white-hot cagers to a thrill-teemed 33-29 triumph over West Virginia’s .Mountaineers which enabled them to maintain the league leadership with two victories in us many starts.; With a record of 92 points in seven games—3l in two conference tussles —the little man in blue will resume his sharp-shooting here at 7 o’clock when the Lions will be out to •protect a .'sije-game. winning streak against the onslaught of- an envaged Bucknell quintet that took a 51-21 drubbing in a pre-season demonstra tion tilt last month. ; j ” . . - Proficient With Ball 1 On numerous occasions, the. little man in blue has shown his proficiency, with a hall, .regardless'of its size and regardless of his size. was the sparkplug of last, year’s baseball • team. He was : the sparkplug and captain of lust fall’s unbeaten soccer team. Saturday night he demonstrat ed that he might even be the spark plug of the rifle team, if'he could pos sibly squeeze in some extra time. For swivel-hipped .Co-captain Sol Miehoff ran wild Saturday, basketing 10 of 22 shots—c'ght field goals and two fouls—for 'an average of nearly 50 per cent. And a3O per cent mark is regarded as something to write home about. Scores 18 Points But the victory was not solely a Miehoif victory, despite the.faet his 3rt points were'more than the remain der of the team could amass. A brisk passing attack, led by Co-captain Joe Proksa and Max Cc-rbin, and a su perb zone defense, "with rangy’ Bill Stopper and' Charley Prosser as the bulwarks, helped preserve the slim margin of victory. .'■Stopper functioned like an octopus under the hoop all night. Of the 31 shots .that West Virginia missed from the floor, Stopper eradied at least 15 on the rebound to euib Mountaineer follow-up scoring. Lions Move Ahead After a stalemated start, during which the visitors barged, out front to an 8-5 edge, the game opened up. Mit-hofT netted two goals in rapid fire order, and State moved ahead, - But with Marcus, Chepko, and Captain Lothes collaborating,- West Virgin : a sec-sawed ‘.into a six-point lead. - With the score at 17-13, Prok sa ripped the cords after a' full-court dash to spark the Lion attack;' Mie- (Couliuurd ou four) WIN 33-29 THRILLER IN SECOND CONFERENCE TILT Princeton Gains Two Falls To Overcome Lion Matmen Princeton's victory over the Pcmi State wrestlers Saturday was an ex citing and thrilling repetition of the meet "held last year between the two schools. Except for the score, 16-12, situations and events duplicated the characteristics of the 193? encounter. It yras th,e opener for the Nittany Lions, u State “dependable” was clawed, the score was close throughout the ! meet, and once again Charlie Toll, lofty 226-pound heavyweight and grid star, chalked up the pointers that" spelled defeat for the Eastern Inter collegiate champs the 16th straight win . for the New Jersey Ti gers. The loss was the second suffered by (he State grapplers in .‘l4 dual meets •held in their <vwn playhouse and the first in seven years. Princeton has defeated the Lion wrestlers twice in eight contests, but., between these losses, the Statement have gone un-' 1 defeated and annexed the Eastern crown. • \ Falls Provide Margin The individual bouts .were split at four apiece,-but the Princeton.squad gained its four-point margin of vic tory by scoring two fall?:, one, Dick Harding over Frank Craighead, with but 2f seconds of the bout remain ing; and the other, Fred Capers over A 1 Zazzi, marking the; biggest upset of the meet and the most stunning .blow .to the Lion .matmen. . The Tigernien displayed - unusual strength and stamina in twisting, squirming, - and straining to keep, their shoulders from the mat while in the grip of throwing holds. Carl King, Bob Reynolds, Zazzi, Don Bach man, and Capt.- Rcss Shaffer had their men flat on their backs,.shoul ders all but grazing the matronly to have the evasive Tigers escape. First Time Thrown What appeared to be another rou tine victory for Zipper 'Zazzi in the 145-pourid .class turned out to be a hideous, unbelievable' nightmare ' to rhe Lion cause as Capers, after more than five minutes underneath, gained the .advantage and threw , Zazzi in 7:36. , 'The Zipper, wtio last year copped the 136-pound eastern crown,, had his shoulders pressed to the mat for the first time, in-, his wrestfing career. Last year. it was Captain Joe .o’-. Dowd, who with the/ score 13-12 in Ifis. team’s favor, went on the mat a heavy favorite to. win, only to drop the decision to Toll and the .meet to Princeton. Saturday, the Princeton football captain, again went on the mat .with the Tiger' bench depending on him for victory. ; The score stood 13-12 in rrineeton's favor before Toll and Er nie • Bortz, sophomore, began .their scrap'.'"-Blit again‘Toll,'>vbo last year told thg referee he couldn’t wrestle, came through with the win. .Bortz, b!g in his own right, was dwarfed by the towering Toll, who’ a 40-pound weight advantage over the Lion sophomore. It marked the first time Bortz met up with in tercollegiate competition. King, sophomore 118-pounder, put State ahead with three points, at the By SAL SALA start by gaining the referee Is deci sion-over the more experienced Addy Foshpy. King kept well ahead of his man, taking the offense and register ing two near-falls. As with Bortz, ,it- was, King’s first intercollegiate meet. Frank Craighead, in the 126-pound class, was pitted against the Tigers’ 118-pound champ, Dick Harding, who like Zazzi, went up one class for the ! 38 season. Craighead gained a short lived,advantage at the outset by drop i ping Harding to the mat. Harding, however, slipped out and gained the top. After that, it became.a nip-anri tuck battle with. both boys striving for advantage and n fall. With but two minutes left, - Harding grabbed a throwing hold and forced Craighead back to the mat. But the State wrest ler twisted 'his way free, only to fall into a bar ,aH<l full nelson which! ■threw him" with only 21 seconds of the bout remaining. Reynolds put the Lions back in the lead by~ outpointing Fred Fields in the 135-pound class. Zazzi’s defeat and Chuck Powers’ 'victory over Steve Priolo in the 155-pound division, put Princeton out front, 13-6. Bachman, the Lions’-big-shouldered 165-pounder, won the only overtime bout of the meet. His struggle with Captain Mouse Emory, former cham pion in that weight, left both boys gapping at the end, with, the Tiger captain a little worse from wear. Bob Smith, Princeton 175-pounder, was .no match for ’ Shaffer -and was ■only interested in"preventing a fall., Shaffer added a bit of professional ism tp the. bout when .he twice, picked, his opponent from the floor and toss ed him-bock on the mat. But Smith held on, and the referee awarded Shaffer the decision, which put his team pdtin one point .of the Tigers.. 2. "REHEARSING FOR 'Your Holly wood.;! Parade’, my new radio program.
