that they- investigate the matter.
Immediately, a letter was dis

Squad Dwindles
“When it rains,. it pours,” js
an apt adage to apply to Leo
Houck’s ' rapidly dwindling var
sity lineup, what with Wade
Mori, potential heavyweight
powerhouse, quitting and Bill
Mazzocco, one of State’s neatest
127-pounders in recent years, be
ing declared ineligible.
“The heck of it is,” grumbles
Doctor Houck, “ever since Maz
zocco showed a little better than
average ability, all the 127-
pounders have gotten discour
aged and <;uit.”
“Now,” the good Doctor wor
ries, “where am- I going to get
someone to fill Socko’s shoes?”
Filling Mori’s hefty shoes isn’t
goin gto be a simple task either.
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.

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.

The declaration yesterday that
Billy Mazzocco, ace Lion sopho
more boxer, was all finished with
intercollegiate boxing, brought to
mind. several arguments this
corner has heard over and over
against the college ring sport . . .
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.

Grapplers Encounter
Wolverines At 7 P.M.
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. Penn Slate Michigan
121 Ridenour Sp'arks or
Clemach
