lor Lehigh Tilt
In a fighting mood after their
surprise- defeat by Princeton on
Tuesday, the Nittany Lion grap
plers are gunning to break the
17-match winning streak of the
calculating Lehigh Engineers
here Saturday night.
Stale after semester finals, the
Lion matmen displayed little,
skill against the Tig
ers, but Coach Charlie Speidel
promises to pit a victory-eager
team against a veteran-studded
lineup which tied the. Lions, 12-
12, last year.
Such stars as Captain Frank
Bailey, undefeated 128-pounder
this season, " 175-pound Dick
Brenneman, and A 1 Lee, senior
145-pounder who tangled in a
furious battle with Captain Glea
son last year, will carry the En
gineer’s victory hopes.
Toted as the most bitter and
ancient mat . rival of the Lions,
the Engineers surprisingly
enough have defeated the Nit
tany Lions only- in four of 24
tilts. Two battles were dead-,
locked.

spite of Paul Scally’s bril

State’s boxing team bowed to-its
jinx rival, Syracuse, 4%-3Vi, be
fore nearly 6,000 fans in Rec

Syracuse boxer the'fine points of
a straight left jab as he kept the

blows off for three rounds to de
feat Woyciesjes for the first time
in a dual meet. Woyciesjes was
defeated only once before, in

ineligible in a telegram from
Syracuse which arrived two
hours before the meet.
Homer Hoffman, Penn State,
and Ben Sgroi fought to a draw
in the 135-pound class, bringing
the score to lVfe-lV£.

'44 Milmen Lose
To Orange W2-W2
Highlighting the first act of
Rec Hall’s big show last night in
which the Syracuse frosh edged
out the local yearlings, 4V6-3 Y 2,
was the impressive decision
slugged out, by State’s Nick Ran
eri over the Orange 175-pounder,
Kuno.
In the previous 165-pound con
test Bill Weber TKO’ed Chuck
Kaveny of State, after 1:52 min
utes of the third round had
elapsed, in the only knockout
scored by the frosh.
’ itaveny was knocked to the
canvas and immediately. started
to his feet, when Referee Charles
Mathews told him to rest for the
count. Mathews counted to 9,
hesitated for Kaveny to get up,
but he stayed down, apparently
confused.
In the first bout of the 6 o’clock
“supper time” struggle, Danny
DeMarino’s little Billy Knauff
put up a game fight but Nick
Debottis’ weight and experience
gave him the decision.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Game Is First Loss
To Mountaineers Since
Lawther Came Here
By JOHN BAER
A Mountaineer basketball team
did something in Rec Hall last
night that West Virginia hasn’t
been able to do since John Law
ther became Penn State cage
coach—beat the Lions. The score
was 35-29.
Elmer Gross opened the scor
ing with a foul just after the
start but from then until midway
in the first half State went score
less while the visitors chalked
up 10 points. In the half the
Lions tallied only two field goals.
Except for that early foul by
Gross, West Virginia led all the
way. State managed to pull up
within four points, 33-29, with
one minute, 10 seconds to go but
Jim Ruch scored to make it 35-29
and the Mountaineers froze the
ball for the remaining seconds.
One obvious reason for State’s
loss was poor shooting. The Lions
shot 50 times but made only 11
for 22 per cent—far below aver
age. West Virginia tossed in 41
per cent, 13 out of 32.
