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. Exhibiting
Hamlin Garlaiid CO lleciiori
The College Library is exhibit
ing, until Janitary 30, part of. the
Hamlin Garland collection which
was loaned to Miami University,
Oxford; Ohio, by that fainous
American author before his death
In March, 1940..
The collection consist of ori
ginal manuscripts, original letters
..- •
and other kinds of literary me
mentos of Garland's life and
wbrk.
Hamlin Garland wrote "Son of
the Middle Border" in 1917 and in
1921 was awarded the Pulitzer
prize for his "Daughter of the
Middle Border." He was ,a pro
lific writer, and one of the few
novelists who in the nineties de
picted American life without ro
mantic glamour.

odds the best game of the season
on the local hardwood. 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.

lings with 16 points.
Whitey Von Nieda collected-.six
points in the first few minutes of
play to give the Cubg a lead which
they were never in danger of re
linquishing. Von Nieda and Gates
of Altoona shared second place
in the scoring list with eight
points apiece.
