*44 Mitmen Seek First
Victory Against Cornell
Cornell’s “Little Red” boxers
will play host to local.frosh mit
men tomorrow, when Danny De-
Marino’s boys attempt to slug
out their first win of the season.
Although the line-up is not
definite yet, Johnny Turcaso, a
new-comer, will be holding down
the 127 pound slot. Pat Conlon,
the lad with the boxing family,
will be at 155, and little 108-
pound Bill Knauff will fight 120
again. > .

Big Red Pointing
For Lion Boxers
Reports from the shores of
Lake Cayuga indicate that Allie
Wolff; Cornell boxing coach and
former Penn State intercollegiate
champ, is working' his Big Red
mitmen into a white heat in prep
aration for tomorrow night’s meet
with" 'the- Nittany boxers at Ith
aca, N. Y.
Wolff will send lineup
into the ring for the first time
this season. In Cornell’s only
previous . meet, which Syracuse
won, 4-3, the Big Red lacked
a 120-pounder. Wally Venier, a
newcomer to the Cornell 'ring,
will handle this assignment to
morrow.
Penn State’s lineup still has not
been definitely announced by
Coach Leo Houck, will probably
look like this: 120-pound, N Vic
Fiore; 127-pound, Bill Mazzocco;
135-pound, Captain Frank
Stanko; 145-pound, Homer Hoff
man; 155-pound, Bob Baird or
Bill Richards; 165-pound, Les
Cohen; 175-pound, A 1 Blair or
Paul Mall; unlimited, Paul Scally.
Nine Frosh Cagers Leave
Today On Toughest Test
The freshmen cagers will meet
their toughest opposition of the
season when they match tosses
with a Kiski outfit at Saltsburg
today, according to Coach Nick
Thiel.
Nine yearlings leave today on
the first leap of a two game
schedule. After the Kiski test
today they will move into Pitts
burgh Saturday for the second
game when they meet a frosh
quintet of Carnegie Tech.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Cagers ’Will Battle Jinx
At Syracuse Tomorrow
Big And Husky
wmm
Although ordinarily a stand
out performer, Gene Berger,
husky 195-pound Syracuse cen
ter, was almost completely
shackled when the Orangemen
lost, 44-25, to the' Lion's in Rec
Hall on January 15. However,
Bergfer will have a chance to re
deem himself tomorrow night
when the local five tackles Syra
cuse away. •
Stahley'3o Gels
Brown Grid Job
J. Neil (Skip) Stahley ’3O, a
star athlete while wearing the-
Blue and White, added his name
to) the growing list of famous
Pehn State sons yesterday when
he received the appointment as
head' football coach at Brown
University. Only 32, he becomes
one of the youngest big-time col
legiate gridiron coaches in the
country.
A native of Lebanon, Skip was
a very popular athlete while at
State, winning letters in basket
ball and lacrosse in addition to
starring as an end on the foot
ball team. He played in the first
East-West game in San Francis
co, the only Penn State gridder
except Leon Gajecki to be thus
honored. Both are' members of
the Delta Upsilon fraternity.
Stahley replaces Tuss Mc-
Laughry who recently accepted , |i[||||'ii!‘iiii|iii|i!iii|nnii[ira!iiiiH[|'i!iiii|[nil!! , l!lll!riiiiiiiii!)iiiK!([iiiiim!m!i | iiir!!)iiii!!riiiiiiiroiiiTt!T!iiirmi('3

(rippled Lion Gymnasts
Will Face Chicago Team
Coach Gene Wettstone is hav- jg
ing more than his share of trou- g
bles these, days. His gym team ;
meets one of its toughest oppon- gj
ents o'f the'j'ear in the University g
of Chicago in Rec Hall tomorrow 3
afternoon and two of his most g
reliable performers are evidently;
out of the meet with injuries. gj
Lew Bordo “injured his back s
while .winning .the Lions' only El
first place on-the parallel bars tj
hi last week's Army,, meet and El
it's doubtful whether he will see Jj
action against Chicago. The other If
casualty is Ed Trybala who has jj
been bothered with water on Jiis g
knee all week. Warren Beck has jyj
missed the last two meets because jf
of a bad. back injury and is notl
expected to perform - for the re- W
mainder of the season.
The Lion cagers will have two
opponents at Syracuse tomorrow
night first, the Orangemen
themselves, and second, a jinx
which has kept State passers
from winning at Syracuse since
1924.
In fact, records show that Nit
tany basketball teams have tri
umphed only twice on the Syra
cuse floor, 'in 1923 and in 1924.
The game tomorrow will be
the second this year between the
two teams. The ..first was in Rec
Hall in January and the Lions
overwhelmed the Orange, 44-25.
However, Syracuse ’wasn’t at
full force that night as evidenced
by the recent defeat they admin
istered to the same Georgetown
team which downed State; 28-24.
The Orange team tomorrow
will undoubtedly be- composed of
the same five men who battled
the Lions here. This will put
Paul Kartluke and Danny DiPace
at forwards, Gene Berger at cen
ter, and Stan Krouse and Chris
Kouray at guards.
Wmm,
Lion Tankmen
Aim For Pitt
Facing the Pitt swimmers with
more power and more balance
than ever before, this year’s Nit
tany tankmen are given a better
than even chance to squelch the
Panthers when they come here
tomorrow.
Although both Bill Knight and
A 1 Bertram have been absent
from the Lion lineup this semes
ter due to academic deficiencies,
the • substitute splashers have
been able to carry the burden
with little difficulty.
In last year’s Smoky City meet
the Panther’s Joe Orloff nosed
out Lion' Captain Bill Kirkpatrick
to be the only man during the
entire season to defeat the Nit
tany sprint star in the'loo. Coach
Bob Galbraith is optimistic,
however, and feels that the loss
of several former Pitt stars and
the better balanced State team
will combine to bring about tbe
downfall of the heretofore un
beatable Panthers.

Grappiers Leave
For 'Climax Tllf
Coach Charlie’ Speidel and his
Lion grappiers left at noon to
day to battle ‘ in what he calls
“the climax match of the sea
son” against a powerful Navy
grunt-and-groan squadron in the
Midshipmen’s MacDonough Hall
tomorrow.
The Lion matmen will not only
be fighting a 14-12 jinx by which
Navy, Michigan, and Princeton
have beaten them during the
past year, but they will be seek
ing their 14th win against a team
which is led by Jack Harrell,
former Oklahoma A&M national
intercollegiate heavyweight
champ.
With triumphs over Maryland.
Syracuse and Lehigh State’s most
ancient mat rival, and a loss to
Princeton, the Nittany wrestlers
need another victory to insure a
successful season, Speidel said.
No more than an even chance
can be conceded the Lions, Spei
del intimated, with State’s bal
ance of power resting in the low
er weights, while the Midship
men boast of solid, strength in
the heavy divisions.
The grappiers who will battle
against Navy are: Captain Frank "
Gleason, Clair' Hess, Charles
Ricjenour, Glen Alexander, Joe
Scalzb, Chuck Rohrer, Joe Valla,
and Jack Kerns.
