This Man Sandson Since he stands alone as the only undefeated member of the Lion boxing team for the current season, It seems almost mandatory that something be said about. Bernie Sandson, Doctor Houck's clever 155-pounder To his credit this season. Sand son has won four clean-cut- deci sions (three of them against men who beat him last year). one 59- second knockout and a draw with the runner-up to the national champion. Captain Truman South all, a man who beat him badly last year. Saturday night he whipped Cor nell's Johnny Claik to even things for the drubbing he took from the same man in the third place bout at the intercollegiates last year A. week ago today Sandson decision ed Syracuse's Stan Kishman, the gentleman who laced him in the intercollegiate semi-finals last year The week before that he out pointed, and outclassed Michigan State's tough Carl Thompson, an other of his conquerors in 1939. All of them were undefeated until, they met Sandson this season. Then, too, in a dual meet at Madison, Wis , last year Sandson won a decision over WisConsin's WOody Swancutt who latter won the national championship Which Just about puts the Lion 155-er at the top of both MBA and NCAA dope sheets Other Lion imgmen most likely to leach the finals should be Red Stanko, 135-pounder, Captain Mike Cooper, at 127 pounds, and heavy weight Spike Alter But no predic tions until Friday. Wrestling,Checklist Checking over the wrestling rec ords, it develops that no less than three Lion matmen have hung up unstained escutheons, in dual meet competition for the current season —Frankie Gleason, defending E I ,VI A champ at 136 pounds; Midge King, veteran 128-pounder, and ,Captain Ernie Boi t 7, who has won 13 out of 20 dual meets Of the three, Gleason c seems to be the only "sure bet" to sweep the intercollegiates But anything can (and usually does) happen—es pecially at Syracuse There's a big chance, too, that little Joe Scalzo will take the 145-pound class and Clair Hess the 121-pound division ' But still no predictions until Fri day Dark Victory Mrs Alger's little boy Horatio should be writing this piece, for here is a success story that rivals anything the old master ever ,wrote It's about Barney Ewell, Penn State's one-man track team, who shattered the IC4-A. broad jump record at New York.
