■ -Since the opening of the first sem
ester, u tiny' blue figure has been con
stantly hoteling the Mon.victory flag
lo added glory. '
For three months—from September
to November—Penn Slate's Mttle Boy
Blue captained - his'soccer mates to
victory after victory, preserving Bill
Jeffrey's long string of unbeaten teams
to gain a slice of the Eastern title.
There was. no rest for Mttle Boy
Blue; however. Discarding his collegi
ate soccer paraphernalia forever,.' he
donned his basketball togs once more
nnd proceeded 'to 'spark a relentless
Lion attack to eight straight, triuniphs
and the Eastern -Intercollegiate .con
ference pinnacle.
Then early last week, after three
and a half years of constant-'plugging
on the soccer.'field: Little'Boy Blue
was shipped to.the •infirmary:-,Offici
ally the case was listed as “grippe!” "
But tonight he’ll be. hack.'in*harness
again, alming'to resume his* remark
able shnrpsliopting when the. Lion eng
ers stake their lend against Temple
at. 'Philadelphia Friday :und ■'against
Georgetown at* Washington Saturday.
Rarely if ever has the .Conference,
seen such' an* amazing one-man. scor
ing machine.ns Penn State’s Sol Mie
hofThas proved to be. In three league
games, MiehofT.-lias basketed 18 fleld,
goals and 12- fouls for a total of 4S
points, or an average of 1G points per
game nnd a net average of more than
42 per cent of the entire team total. '
If he can maintain his terrific.pnce
—which seems : ahnost an impossibil
ity—Miehoff would crack all existing
Conference records and more. Mean
while. <loift count, him.out. beforehand.
Sol relishes impossibilities.

But Branch Bobbitt,
like so many other
independent experts,
prefers Luckies...
“AT AUCTIONS in my warehouse
/Vin Farmville, North Carolina,”
says Mr. Branch Bobbirc, "Lucky
Strike buyers know what tobacco
they want and they’ll keep bidding
right up until they get it.
"Well—in a cigarette—it’s the
tobacco that counts. I know tobacco
and I know what tobacco is in
what cigarettes. So that’s one reason
I’ve smoked Luckies for over five
years now.”
Many other experts agree with
Mr. Bobbitt. Sworn records show
that, among independent tobacco
experts, Luckies have twice as many
exclusive smokers as have all the
other cigarettes combined.

outstanding Lion yearling who is like

file next throe years, Bill Kirkpatrick.
Bill came in first in the fifty and sec
ond in the 100-yard free style. In the
grind of the meet, the 220-yard free
style, the Lion cubs made a pathetic
showing, following their two prep
school adversaries by'almost two
lengths of the pool ut the finish.

200-yard relay’ was swum In record
breaking time by Mercersburg, but the

won by Mercersburg with Ken Hill
(1:17.5) first and Roy Cousins third.
Second was Bill Reiley of Penn State.
In the 220-yorcl heart-breaker two
Mercersburg men. John Giliis and Bill
Hooper, ran away with the event,
Giliis finishing in 2:20. In the 100.
yard buck stroke the same thing hap
pened with Doug Smith* and Vernon
Reiss lending Dave Welsh. Time for
this was 1:00. The 100-yard free style

Robinson followed him.

rolling over the mats for- ten years
now, beginning his career at 12* while

Mercersburg
A fall in the unlimited bout proved
the margin of victory for Mercers
burg Academy’s wrestlers in Recrea
tion hall Saturday as State’s fresh
grapplers won three bouts by ref
eree’s decisions, while the prep school
boys won two of their victories by
falls. The score was 18-14.
Arnie Feuerlicht, Lion freshman,
,-tayed in command throughout his
118-pound to win the referee’s nod
over Dick Klopp. Craig Vail, of Mer
cersburg, won valuable points as he
threw Leo Horvath twice—in 1:56 of
of the first three-minute period, and
again in 56 seconds' of the final pe
riod.
Mercersburg continued to pile up
points as Dick Greene won a ref
eree’s decision over Frank G.eason.
Rob Browning, 145-pounder of the
visitors, was very impressive as he
threw Larry Tate with a double arm
'ock in 2:42.
Curt Eves, moved up to the 155-
nound class because of an injury to
Joe Scalzo, winner in the recent in
terclass bouts,. threw.. Mercersburg’s
Hanson with a 'body press and ham
mer Jock in 2:42.
State forged ahead with victories
•n the next two bouts. Husky Bill
Bachman, brother of Don of the var
sity team, was on top of Henry Krei
der during most of the 165-pound
bout. Scoring several near-falls, he
easily won the decision. - In the 175-
pound class Joe Valla, frosh gridder,
won a decision over Nick Shields to
place the Cubs in the lead, l-l- 1 /).
In the deciding unlimited bout,
Wade Mori, another football man,
showed superior strength, but Joe
Jameson's experience and "clever tac
tics proved too much for Mori, and
he was .thrown with a bar and chan
cery in 2:29.

Between the Lions
This last year in intercollegiate
boxing has seen many changes th the
conduct of the fights, notably, barring
of amateurs from competition, adopt
ing a heavier glove, and at the same
time eliminating hand bandages. Since
then, has come A 1 Topman's idea-for
more social contact between the fight
ers of both teams so that a spirit of
true sportsmanship can be built be
tween competitors.
Another change which would prove
benefieiuj to the sport would be the
raising of the 115 pound limit to 118
pounds so that the smaller boxers
would not have to “train down” to
an almost-impossible weight.
Statistics gathered by several
agencies tyive shown that the average
college student of today is heavier and
taller than even those of 15 years ago
when the Eastern Intercollegiate
Boxing Association was formed. It is
an unfair demand to make upon the
lighter boys to go on a “bread and
water” diet in order to make this
weight.
Penn State students know of at
least two cases where such action was
necessary. Former Captain Russ Cris
well was always-fighting the increases
in weight which came about by nor
mal diet during the season. Last week,
Alex Sopehak was unable to fight
because.he, too, could not or would
not make weight even on a limited
amount of food.
The United States Naval Academy
has taken cognizance of this matter
and refuses to allow their lighter boys
to go below 318 pounds, which seems
the most sensible thing to do.
