Lawiher Considers Barr
lion's Greatest lager
“Not only a player’s captain, but
a coach’s as well,” can be said
about Johnny Barr, varsity guard
and leader of John Lawther’s cag
ers this year.
Terming Barr as “the greatest
player since I've taken over
State’s basketball duties,” Law
ther maintains that Barr not only
shows perfect coolness in action,
but is an excellent shot.
Hailing from Shamokin, home
town of Chuck' Peters, Barr trans
ferred from Cornell after one
semester. He injured his knee in
a Cornell football scrimmage, and
must wear a knee guard for pro
tection.
His brother Frank, a sophomore,
exhibits the same family rugged
ness and basketball sense, and is
conceded a good chance of estab
lishing a “Barr to Barr” combina
tion for the Nittany Lions this
season.
Alec Templeton, blind pianist,
has learned to play the chimes in
the tower of the campanile at the
University of California at Berke
ley.

Houck Defeated
Boxing Champs
Conqueror of champions yet
never a champion himself—during
his heyday as a fighter. That was
the fate of Leo Houck, Nittany
Lion boxing coach since 1923.
From 1907 until 1923, Houck
took part in approximately 200
professional fights, competing
from flyweight to heavyweight:
He won over three-fourths of his
bouts, was never knocked out, and
was knocked off his feet only
three times.
Houck was never officially re
cognized as middleweight cham
pion of the world because he was
never able to get matches with the
titleholders at the right time. He
beat George Chip five times but
when Chip became middleweight
champion he would never fight
the Lancaster middleweight. Like
wise, Leo defeated Johnny Wilson
two times before Wilson won the
title.
In 1912, Houck defeated Harry
Lewis in France to gain the Euro
pean middleweight crown. Later
he won the same championship in
Canada and the Cuban light
heavyweight title.
Leo’s Lion boxing teams have
won the Eastern .Intercollegiate three National Collegiafc
Boxing Association championship holders have been develo
seven times and placed second five der Leo’s guidance
times since 1924. Thirty-nine in
dividual eastern champions and
