Boxing Lineup Still Up In Air Coach Leo Houck yesterday took a day off from trying to un tangle the mix-up in the fotir middle weights as January 25, the date of the season's opener with Western Maryland; grew nearer. IlOnock attended the banciuet of the Pittsburgh Athletic Associa tion in -Pittsburgh last night. With Vic Fiore and Bill Mazzoc co alrnost Certain to iiandle the 120 and 127-tiound assignments re sPectifely, and Paul Scaily and Paul ,Mall probably splitting the 175 and unlimited berths, the 135, 145,_.155, and 165-pound divisions are still wide open, With three veterans, Captain "Red" Stanko, Bob Baird, and Jimmy Lewis, still wavering be tween weights, Houck will have plenty of untangling to do before he picks his startinelineup. Stanko will fight in either the 135 or 145-pound classes; Homer Hoffman, a fraternity brother of Stanko's, has a good chance to make the final bid on the 135- pound post and Bill Richards will put up some stiff opposition in the 145-pound class. • Lewis and Baird may face each other in the 155-pound division, though it is likely that Lewis will be shifted up to the 165-pound group. Les Cahn and Stan Gla bick, both 165-pounders, will want something to say about that, how ever. Harry Masters is furnishing al most the only competition to date in the heavier brackets where Scally and Mall have so far held undisputed sway, ' Libtary Is.

A rough and-tumble second half, marked by long dashes down the floor and spectacular plays, kept a near-ca pacity crowd on its feet for most of the 20 minutes of play. As in the NYU contest, State's sliding zone defense was given a good deal of credit for the victory. Syracuse's chief threat, Captain - Paul Kartluke, was held to a sin gle field goal and three fouls in the first half as the Lions ran up a 12-point margin, 25-13. However, Kartluke, with a 13- point total for the contest, closely trailed Barr for scoring honors. Dick Grimes, Lion guard, showed one of his best games , of the sea son, tallying nine points and play ing a superlative floor game. The Nittany passers were with out the services of Scotty Moffatt, leading scorer for the season, who was sent to the Infirmary a few hours before the game with a se vere cold. Elmer Gross was mov ed up to forward and Bob Ramin played Gross' guard. Ramin opened the scoring early in the first quarter with a brace of free tosses and the Lions boosted the count to 6-0 before Chris Kouray tallied with a cor ner shot for the Orange. Syra cuse pulled up to 6-3 but Ramin and Gross, both on assists from Barr, raised the score to 10-3 at the eight-minute mark. Midway in the half the count was State 13, Syracuse 7. Barr got two quick buckets to up the tally to 17-7 before Gene Berger got a foul for the Oiange. The scoring moved along, evenly and the board showed .25-13 at the half,- Kariluke started the second half in a hurry by netting a pair of field goals and a foul for five points. However, State—led by Barr and Baltimore—popped up to tally 13 points before the visitors got back in the ball game. After that the two teams fought on al most equal terms for the remaind er of the contest. 2 2 6 1 0 2 1 0 2 17 10 G. F.
