Penn State's varsity boxers had
been plodding contentedly through
practice this week moving up on
then season opener day by day,
when .they were jolted into activ
ity Wednesday with the discovery
that the season opener had moved
up on them That and a change in
the date of the Syracuse meet
promised to make an °heady tough
schdule tougher
The ,Western Maryland opener,
slated here January 20, was sucli
denly shifted up to next Tuesday
night because the Western Mary
land schedule maker found he had,
two opponents, Penn State and
Navy, booked foi the 20th
The second schedule change ad
vances the Syracuse meet fiord
Wednesday, February 28, to Feb=
ruary 27 and will throw the Lions
against the Orange only three
days after they face Michigan
State here The following Satur
day a home meet LS scheduled with
Cornell, giving the mitmen three
bouts in eight days
Only relief to the boxers,is that
their first two meets are probably
their easiest Western Maryland—
although it may be tougher under
anew coach this year—has beaten
the Lions only once in 11 meets
Toronto, which comes here for the
l
second bout on January 27, is ex
pected to offer only mediocre opl
position The Canadians faced the
Lions only once before, losing in
1922
On the tough side of the ledger,
the four bouts which are expect
ed to give the Lions most trouble
are all scheduled away Wisconsin,
ginia, Syracuse, and Ai my Cor
nell and Michigan State, the only
other teams on the schedule, may
be tough—but probably not too
tough Both will be met here
Highlight of the boxing season
will be the Eastern Intercollegiates
scheduled here on March 8 and 9
The Lions haven't won these since
1936 and this year is as good as
any for the Nittanymen to move
back into the league Last season
they made their second poorest
showing in the 17 years Leo Houck
has coached them by tying with
Yale for thud place Usually it's
first of second Only once, in 1933,
were they fourth
