Harry .Masters, a possible choice for the post, entered the Infirm ary yesterday with the grippe, further diminishing the man power of the Nittany boxers. . Houck’s only apparent solution to the heavyweight problem is to move Paul Seally and Paul Mall up to heavy and 175, respec tively. The 127-pound vacancy, however, will need more thpn weight shuffling to remedy it. Higgins' SecrefaryGets Job As Army Hostess It appears that football Coach Robert A.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Muhlenberg Passers Baffle Lions At & P.M. By JOHN BAER - In the second event of a Rec Hall doubleheader, the Lion passers resume their strenuous cage campaign against Muhlen berg’s Mules at 8 o’clock tonight. TJje visitors have a small, fast team and should provide plenty of opposition for the Lions. They have averaged nearly 44 points per game in winning 12 and los ing. 6 this season. The Mules rankvsecond to F&M in the East- Pennsylvania Collegiate League. It will be the first time in his tory that Muhlenberg has played on the local hardwood. The last game between the two teams in 1939 was won by State, 43-27. Probable starting lineup for the Mules will *be Joe Podany and Charlie Trinkle at the for wards, big . Pete Schneider at center, and Captain Neal Dia mond and Jack Minogue at the guard positions. . Against this quintet, Coach John Lawther will start the same team which open ed. against Mexico on Tuesday. At forwards will be Captain Johnny Barr and Elmer Gross. Sophomor‘£ Herk Baltimore will jump center. At the guards will be Dick Grimes and Bob Ramin. There is a possibility that Scotty Moffatt will replace Ra min or Grimes. In that case, Gross might be shifted to the backline with Moffatt starfing at a forward. 18 Teams See Action In IK Basketball League Fourteen fraternity teams and four independent feams saw ac tion at Rec Hall last night in in tramural basketball competitions.

Without blaspheming Billy or College officials for the present situation, we’ll bet that the same skimpy violation of regulations is occurring on nearly every col lege boxing team in the EIBA, NCAA, NRA, TV A, and IW W . . . If any school is to allow its men *to exchange leather, affidavits of some sort should be drawn up before the season begins, whereby the con testants would swear that they have not fought in amateur or professional fights . . . This would at least protect colleges . . . Prob ably the most serious criticism of college fisticuffing is that it is too closely related to its big brother, professional, boxing . . . Look at the difference between the intercollegiate wrestling bus iness and the grunt-and-groan— for-money racket . . . Yet the college lads who swing gloves can take just about the same amount of bloody, injurious beatings as do the Nathan Manns, Gus Dorazios, and Arturo Godoys . . . Because of its unique setup, the intercollegiate leather-busi ness * has no means of matching fighters of equal ability except by their weights ... Is there any reason why two boys, because they both weigh 145 pounds, should be allowed to battle each other in a sport where serious injuries have been known to occur even to grown men? . . . One of the best examples of an uneven boxing situation is that which stands between the West ern 'Maryland and Penn State teams which shows • that there isn't any such thing as a warm up between boxing teams . . . Even the fight-for-dough boys don’t match two men for the sole reason that they weigh the same, unless it might be in the present heavyweight picture . . . Under stand, we’re not starting a drive to do away with intercollegiate mit-tossing, because when you come right down to it, we get as much kick out of it as the next guy.

By ROSS LEHMAN A rough and tumble cat and dog fight between a vicious Nit t'any Lion and the clever Mich igan Wolverine promises to high light Penn State’s mat warfare when Coach Charlie Speidel’s eight grapplers meet the invad ing Michigan squad in Rec Hall at 7 o’clock tonight. The Lion will bare its'teeth to a Wolverine which won the Big Ten championship two years ago and was runner up last year. With a five-veteran studded line up, Michigan will defend a 3-2 advantage, garnered since 1933. Speidel’s cagey grapplers have decisively trounced Maryland, Syracuse, Lehigh, Navy, Cornell and suffered their only loss in a close upset to Princeton. Mich igan has won four and lost two. Captain Frank Gleason will be gunning for his sixth consecutive victory when he encounters the Wolverine’s Ray Deane, 136- pound veteran boasting five vic tories. Veteran Joe Scalzo will come down from his regular 155-pound position to wrestle against 145- pound Jack Paup, another five match winner. Scalzo’s natural weight is at the 145-pound spot. Glenn Alexander will meet the Wolverine’s ace grappler, Art Paddy, 155-pounder, who has a six-match winning streak. Clair Hess and Chuck Rohrer will stage comeback matches after being dropped from the undefeated ranks last week by the Cornell grapplei-s, and Jack Kerns will be pitted against Jim Galles in the heavyweight divi sion. Galles defeated Rohrer last year in the 165-pound position. The probable lineup: Wi.
