Between
TKe Lions
“ /With the .varsity wrestling ;and
boxing teams engaging in meets away
from home tomorrow, Penn State's
sports interest will be concentrated on
basketball which, will provide the ma
jor home attraction. - , • '
‘Collectively and^ individually, the,
Lion dribblers can reach a new high
in Penn State court history tomorrow
night. ; ,
In the doldrums for several years;
Lon basketball jumped into the lime
light last season as Coach Lawther
made on' impressive debut in elevat
ing Penn State from a miserable last
place to third in the top-notch Eastern
Conference.,
j This, Lawther’s second year, incred
jbly shows more improvement.. Wed
. hesday nght's victory over Carnegie
Tech, assured State of at least a tic
for second place in the Conference. If
the tired, courtm.cnt can upset Pitt
tomorrow night, undisputed possession,
of the runner-up position and definite
“proof, that -ID3B success' exceeded
1937’s will be gained.
Whether Penn State can avenge the
defeat scored by the Panthers in Pitts
burgh is hard to, predict. Riddled by
’ injuries /which .took Max Corbin, and
hampered Jack Reichcnbach, the squad,
is at its lowest. The remainder of
the regulars, quick to shoulder the
den of ther injured mates, showed
signs of wear, which was indicated in
the inaccurate shooting, against Tech.
Individually, the-Penn State.team
'may rate another honor,which certain
ly could not be expected from a new
comer-.in the Conference. ‘By scoring
eight point's, Sol Miehoff, ace forward,
can pass Temple's. Don Shields and
practically clinch the Conference scor
ing title.-
After Miehoff's performances this
season, eight points doesn't seem to be
„ much of a feat. "But Miehoff/ smaller
than his mates • and opponents, - has
borne the. brunt of the season's toil
and is more tired than the rest of the
courageous Lion squad. And Pitt's no;
pushover;
If Nick Thiel’s yearlings come out
unscathed tomorrow against the. Pitt
five, it will climax a six-game sched
ule with no losses.
NEW discovery;
FOR ALL SMOKERS!

Year’s Conference Record
By JOHN A; TROANOVITCH
/ Penn State's 1088 basketball edition will make.its final appearance on
the home floor against Pittsburgh’s 'dethroned champions in Recreation hall
at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.
• With Wednesday night’s 38-24 vici
record to six wins in nine starts, th«
Swimming Team
To Meet Orange
Nittanymen Hopeful, To Swim
Saturday Afternoon At
Glennland—2 O’clock
The Dion swimming: 'team, a bit
more. hopeful than • they were when
they faced-Pitt last,week, will , meet
the Carnegie Tech splashers in Glenn
land pool tomorrow at 2 o’clock.
'.Having trailed Pitt .throughout last
week’s meet, the Nittany. swimmers
have been- practicing constantly .this
’week.and do not feel that Carnegie
Tech will prove anything near the
opposition .that the Panthers did.
Both distance events will'be plugged
by Ken Bunk and Boyne Wood, and
scoring chances in them are high.
Newbery, Vinzant to Backstroke
Also optimistic, Don- Newbery and
Mark Vinzant will swim the back
stroke.- Newbery, a sophomore, swam
his best race against Pitt last week,
but failed to place against Panther
competition. . Ray Johnson, the only
man State sent to Pittsburgh in the
backstroke, is Coa'ch Galbraith’s hope
in that event, although this has no
tably been the weak spot in the mer
men’s lineup. Warren Oliver will
also backstroke in the home meet.
Capt. Bob Dewalt and Chuck' Welsh
should provide tough competition
.against the Tartan 100-yard dashers,
while in the 50-yard sprint Bob Bech
tel and Art Lehman will swim.
Diving, Ray - Parks and Guy Mc-
Laughlin will do their bit to get the
•team out of its losing streak. In the
relays, Ray Johnson, Mark -Vinzant,
and Bobby ißrown will swim the med
ley; ‘ while the ,440 probably will be
done . by- Ken. 'Bunk; Chuck .Welsh,
Capt. .Dewalt, and Art Lehman.'-
5 Glean Sweeps Made'
In, Tuesday’s Bowling
Clean sweeps were .made in five of
the six regular weekly rollings of the
Intramural bowling -league last Tues
day night, three winning bn forfeits.
Theta Chi beat Alpha Sigma Phi, and
the Independent, team was victorious
over Varsity Hall, each to the tune of
8-0. -
Delta Sigma Phi, Beta Theta Pi, and
Alpha Phi Delta won on forfeits from
TaU' Phi Delta, Phi Kappa,- and Tau
Kappa. Epsilon, respectively. » Kappa
Delta Rho, the only team offering op
position, lost to Beta Sigma Rho,‘6-2.
:tory over Carnegie Tech boosting their
ie Lions will be aiming to better last
■fyear's mark of six<;and-four and at
the same time to clinch undisputed
possession of second place, two games
behind Temple’s championship quin
tet. State bowed to Pitt in their pre
vious meeting, 89-34.
The same lineup which started the
-Carnegie tilt is expected to . open
against Pitt, ’ with.'Co-captains Sol
Miehoff and Joe Proksa at the.for
ward posts, Bill t Stopper at
and Jack Beichenbach and Charley
Prosser as guards. Corbin,
brilliant' trick-shot artist suffering
with a cracked wristbone, definitely
is out for.the remainder of the sea
son, which closes next. Wednesday lit
.Rutgers.
Trail at Halftime
■Playing ragged bail, State sa\v an
early 5-2 lead dwindle away as the
Skibo sharpshooters snaked through
the • Lion defense to match goal for
goal and finally barge into a 15-13
lead just as the gun sounded for half
time.
After a momentary stalemate at
the beginning of the second period,
the State machine began to click on
all cylinders; with big Charley Pros
ser, always one of Coach John Law
ther’s dependable??, in the pilot’s role.
Prosser in Hero Role
Handling the ball as if it were a
marble, Prosser popped shots from
crazy angles at mideourt as well as
underneath the hoop, ringing up
every one of his 11 points in the last
half to cop scoring "honors " for the
night
He opened the second-period scor
ing with four points in a row to see
saw the" Lions into a 17-15 lead.
Reichenbach added another field goal;
but Tech. whittled] the lead to. 19-17.
Again Prosser swished the cords with
a double-decker, but'the Tartans add
ed another foul, conversion to bring
the count up to 21-18.
Here Miehoff-abandoned his role of
“feeder” to notch two goals in less
than a minute and_spark a 13-point,
spree that iced .the victory, for .the
Liens. While Prosser' and Proksa
paced the offensive. attack, a tight
zone defense, featured by Stopper’s
dominant coverage, bogged down, the
Tartan counter-attack, yielding only
a single field goal during the last 13
minutes of play. ; In fact, the visitors
were able to garner only two field
goals .during the entire second half.
• ’* ~Sol Needs 18 Points
Although restricting himself.. to
setting up plays during most of the
game, Miehoff tallied eight points to
boost his league total to 101, seven
behind Temple’s Don Shields, the
.present leader. Miehoff must score
18 points tomorrow’ night to set a
new Conference mark.

Lion Matmen
Grapple Navy
At Annapolis
By SAL SALA
- Handicapped by the loss of Don
Bachman in the 165-pound class, the
wrestling'team will close their dual
meet season tomorrow night when
they grapple Uncle Sam’s Middies at
Annapolis.
The Navy squad has had an on-and
off season, with their biggest upset
handed them by the Lehigh Engineers
whom State tied 14-14 last week. The
Engineers sunk the Navy 25Va-4Vs.
However, hopes of the Lions repeat
ing their 1937 shutout performance
against the Midshipmen were shatter
ed Inst week when Bachman’s knee,
cap slipped out of place in his bout
with Curtis Ford. The Nittany grap
pler, who up to this meet was the
only undefeated member of the squad,
wus carried off the mat thereby de
faulting five points to Lehigh.
Gensler May Wrestle .165
Working all week on his heavier
boys, Speidel will probably choose be
tween Steve Priolo and Roy Gensler
to take the vacated 165-pound slot, the
other to wrestle at 155. Priolo, on the
strength of his showing against Dick
Bishop Saturday, may retain, his 155-
pound berth and allow Gensler to
take care of the heavier weight.
Gensler, sophomore, made his first
varsity appearance two weeks ago
against Harvard when he outpointed a
more* experienced wrestler in Kidder,
Crimson 155-poundcr.
24th Meeting In Series.
. Tomorrow marks the 24 meeting be
tween Navy and the Lions in a: series
that began in 1910. Eleven losses and
wins are credited to both schools while
one meet was fought to a standstill.

Boxers Seek
Fourth Win
In Army Duel
BY TOM BOA I.
Seeking to score their fourth win of
the year, Lioit boxers left today for
West Point where they will meet
Army mittmen tomorrow at the Ac
ademy. Only proposed change in line
up was the placing of Angstadt in the
175 pound class who will meet Cadet
Sternberg. .
This will mean that Hebcr Lessig
will go back down to 165 pounds meet
ing Army’s veteran Robert York.. Lust
week, Lessig was somewhat hampered
by lighting over his class. York Is a
Senior on the squad, fighting in the
last two intcrcollcgiatos, the 1936
meet in the 155 pound division.
Biggest fireworks of the evening is
expected from the Clarence Bess, A 1
Tapman affair.. Bess was intercollegi
ate champ last year at 115 pounds
and has put on weight since.then. Tap
man will be out to garner his first
major win, losing several close deci
sions in' his fights this year.
Hanna Meets Shnnley
i Penn State’s new stylist, Roy Kan
ina, will be on the watch for another
veteran in Cadet Shanlcy. Last year,
Shnnley gave Frankie Goodman a
tough fight before losing the decision.
Hanna’remains the surprise “plum”
of the ’team, having been given no
thought at the start of the reason.
Hanna’s ring form is-pleasantly like
Lou Ritzie’s, and should win him re
cognition before the end of the season.
Captari Sammy Donato, winner in
four out of five fights, will meet Cadet
Harrison in the welterweight match.
