I don't believe it myself ... or do I? The fact of the matter is that it did happen here three years ago But that was three years ago. Doctor Leo Lemuel Florian Fred (et cetera) Houck only had the BEST team he has ever coached at Penn State that year And the doctor has been coaching here now for 18 years Yep, The team went through its dual meet season undefeated in 1937: , the doctor produced three individual champions that year: and the Seine lost the EIBA title to Syracuse by one point. But that's no reason to believe it could happen again or is it, Paragraphs On Boxing If a heavyweight bout between Harry Stella, Army football cap tain, and Spike Alter, Lion grid captain, materialises kind by all the laws of boxing, one should), a lot of old scores will be settled once and for all Spike and Harii , have been hAing each other athletically since they were freshmen, and both would like to relieve last Fall's 14-14 football tie The Intercollegiates this weekend are back home where they began. The first tournament was held at Penn State 16 years ago In what is now the Armory. „ Under Coat Leo Houck, Penn State has had 25 different men a total of 37 Eastern Intercollegiate titles and three national titles, In 18 years the doctor's teams have won 73 dual meets, lost 35, tied 9 Now It Can 8e told Because a sports scribe once spelled it wrong, Florian 0.

Because of the equal strength of five or six teams, it appears that 20 points may be sufficient to win the title. In the past four years Penn State and Lehigh have mustered from 25 to 30 points in winning the Intercollegiate I crown. In the scoring five points is giv en for a. winner, 3 for a second place, and 1 for a third, with one point being awarded at any time for a fall. Three referees, Dick Voliva of Indiana, Mui le Thursh of Michi gan, and Dick Cole of lowa State will handle the officiating Cornell's surmising victory over Lehigh in a dual meet last week end has heartened the supporters of Big Red,• who although they haven't won a title in the last eight years, hold the best inter collegiate record in the thirty-six years of championship competi tion.
