■' Tiiesnar, li:arcn I,ISBS' Between The Lions Although Saturday’s ground-break ingceremonies dedicating Penn State’s ,5-million dollar building program fail ed to mention improvements for Lion sports teams and general student ath letic .facilities, possibilities for ad vancement are exceedingly bright. t Nothing official has been- made known. It isn’t rash to predict, how ever, that something will be done soon to correct a hopeless space deficit suf fered by Penn State athletics. Recreation hall, a comparatively modern building, is. excelicntfor two or-three thousand students, but it is sadly inadequate for the. present stu , dent body of over four thousand men. In addition to not being able to house large crowds for the indoor ath letic contests, Recreation hall is un healthy because of its crowded locked conditions, undesirable because it docs not jfivo. the average student space in which to play. . . the time will come—and again we say it isn’t far off—when Recreation Hall will be extended to the highway or else a .field house will be built, possibly on the present golf course. The field house would be the best plan, in the writer’s opinion, because it would take care of every -indoor team as well as provide ‘a sheltered practice pavilion for football, baseball, lacrosse, and the rest. Outdoor sports would benefit by the. expected program. Although the .golf | course would be cut down to nine holes i if other additions were made, another! site for nine more holes might be pro vided. At least two baseball diamonds would ' be included'in the hoped-for to end the situation which gives the varsity only one place on whigh to practice and the freshmen a dangerous field which is called a dia mond. . \ Tennis courts would, also be the order of the day and since ice hockey has taken hold this winter, the courts would possibly be built, with cement undcrcoveringi in order to.allow flood ing in winter to provide an excellent skating rink. - •. Practice fields for all activites could be made available on the present golf course. The general disorder which is caused by soccer, lacrosse, and other practices, will be gone. The erection of ten buildings will make for a bigger Penn State student body. Already overcrowded, Recrea tion hall definitely will be unable to handle the expected increase, in Penn State’s population: It seems only log ical to predict more athletic facilities ! soon.

'Rcichenbach was insertpd .into .the, Syracuse game. Saturday night as a-.tune-up for'to morrow’s battle, scoring only. t\yo foul shots as he obviously guarded his in jured -knee.

Syracuse oh the stresgth of. their superior shoot ing from-the foul line, converting 18 out-of 25 attempts, while - the Orange | netted only'lO out of 20.

Seven men were ejected via the personal-foul route, including Co-captain Sol Mie hoff,, Charley Prosser, Bill Stopper, and Rcichenbach. State barged into an early 6-1 lead as Prosser, Miehoff, and Joe Proksa rang Syracuse soon whit tled the margin to 6-4, but Miehoff sparked a 12-point spPee to catapult the Lions into an 18-4 lead before the Orange managed tQ break through the tight shifting .zone defense to double its total in quick order. Stopper, how ever, dampened the visitors’ splurge, basketing two field -goals, in succes sion, and State led, 22-9, at halftime. • Miehoff Paces Attack •With Miehoff pacing the drive, the Lions again moved away as the sec ond period opened. Then, with State leading,. 28-15, the Orange unleashed a dizzy.’ passing attack, scoring 16 ! points in the last 10 minutes and ; threatening dangerously to overcome the Lion lead. However, tallies sand wiched in between Syracuse scoring by Miehoff, Prosser, Herb' Petersoil, and Proksa managed’to keep the Li ons,in the -lead up to the final gun. ? ’Miehoff again took'“high scoring honors with 10 points’, l followed'by Prosser with 8; Peterson, Stopper, and Proksa, each 5; Rcichenbach and Son ny Hoffman, each 2, and George Chalmers 1. . .

Handler, greasy improved since the Syracuse fights, led the fight for three rounds, jabbing 'Hickman continuously. M?ke Cooper, 118, won the first points for State -by decisioning Eastern Conference ehariip, Ralph L’orand. Cooper likes to slug it out with his opponent and Saturday’s fight saw him getting his wish. Durand proved dangerous only in the -first half of the last round.

Roy Hanna continued his beautiful boxing style by easily winning.over Pitt’s captain, Ralph Caruso in the 135 pound class. During the second round.

Ray Bombe. Pitt’s 165 pound boxer, took all three rounds to decision Hank, Schweitzer. Bombe lost to Lou Ritzie last year and seemingly learned some boxing from him for he displayed a sample of the Ritzie left. ‘ Heber Lesslg who usually fights in the IGS pound division .was moved up to Al Bolder’s old weight, 175. Paul Ashman’s advantage in the reach and his. telling left hooks in the second round won the fight for him.
