Lions’ Tails Tell Tale As
Michigan Loses, 14-12
By ALICE .M. MURRAY '42
Nittany,,, Lions tangled- tails
with'"Michigan's Wolverines on
the Rec Hall mats last night and
came out two hairs to the good
with :a -14-12 thanks to
the little-. cats who put up a
mighty'good scrap.
Darlhr-Charlie Ridenour start
ed the' festivities with a bang
when he' pinned Ciemach in 30
seconds • of the second period for
the only-fall of the match.
After a waltz or two in the
first round and a double barrel
roll -around the mat, Clair'
“Sylph”- Hess, 128-pounder, lost
3 points' to Michigan paving the
way for Capt. Frank Gleason to
step in - for his sixth consecutive
victory" of the season. After a
stand-tip for the whole first per
iod, Gleason and. Ray Deane, five
other'times a winner, divided
their time hetwen the floor and
the mat until Greasy Gleas
wriggled out of a tricky figure
four to capture'another 3 points.
Joe Scalzo at -145 pounds put
up a plucky battle against Mich
igan’s-Herbie-B'arhett, he of the
rugged jaw, to' make the score,
11-3. : ; .
.-Amid grunts-arid groans and a
lot of blonde curls, Muscles Al
exander nearly pinned Jack
Paup, who was twice his size,
and gained the last 3 points for
Penn State. /
From there on in it was Mich
igan’s breeze with'.Chuck Rohrer
losing ’to Art. Paddy in the 165-
pound division after a bit of a
battle.
“Terrible” Joe Valla gave Bill
Courtright a futile fight to the
finish in the 175-pound class as
the crowd booed the official in
no uncertain tends, and Smilin’
Jack Kerns kept himself bot
toms up under Jim Galles
through'two rounds to cinch the
meet. .. .

Wrestlers To Grapple
With Lots Of Meets
By KATHRYN POPP '43
Four meets in three days- are
an awful lot. of meet, especially
on such short notice. Anywfay,
the Varsity wrestling team has
only one day of rest between the
Michigan bouts last night and
the match with Army in Rec Hall
tomorrow" night. The freshman
team will meet the Army at West
Point tomorrow.
Incidentally, one of the woman
reporters was eavesdropping
around the shower rooms in Rec
Hall yesterday and snatched this
bit of information: Coach Spei
del is sending some scrubs from
the Junior Varsity team to Lock
Haven. State Teacher’s College
at 2:30 p. m. today for an unof
ficial bouf, which will take place
at 6:30 p. m. just before a bas
ketball game. The purpose of
the match is to bolster wrestling
in Lock Haven and to give the
Penn State scrubs a little prac
tice. But don’t tell any one about
this because no one’s supposed
to know. It just leaked out of
the showers.
Well, anyway, when bigger
and -better wrestlers are made,
the Penn State coeds will make
them.
State Given Good
Trackmeet Odds
Penn State has a good chance
of winning the Intercollegiate
Championship Meet at Madison
Square Garden, Saturday, and
Coach Chick Werner isn’t the
only person who thinks so. For
Penn State is one, of the six
schools experts have chosen as
■favorites in the meet. The five
others are NYU, Fordham, Pitt,
Yale, and Georgetown.
The withdrawal from school
Tuesday of Jim Sykes ’43, high
jumper who cleared 6.5 feet, has
been a heavy blow to the team,
and according to Werner, Penn
State must rely on outstanding
preformances from its nine other
participants.
Entering the meet Saturday are
Glenn, high jump; Krug, high
jump and broad jump; Hanin,
shotput; Van Hartman, 600 yard
run; Ewell, 60 yard dash and
broadjump; Dolbin, 60 yard dash;
Gordon; mile run; Bourgerie, two
mile run; and Bakura, pole vault.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Dilemma Faced
By Boxing Coach
By KNOBBY HEFFERAN
Gee whiz! The boxing team
certainly is in an awful mess . . .
and Dr, Houck is such a nice
man. The boys looked last Sat
urday as though they would be
going great guns all the i-est of
the season, but Wade Mori took
a fadeout powder and now the
powers that be have to fatten up
Paul Scally so that he can fight
heavyweight.
Things wouldn’t be so bad if
the silly old Boxing Association
hadn’t declared little Billy Maz
zocco ineligible. They said that
he had boxed before an audience
before he came to State <or
something like that*. Anyway, he
won’t be fighting and so Leo
Houck will have to call on Jesse
Fardella or Bill Stanley for the
127-pound spot in Saturday’s
matches with Wisconsin.
Vic Fiore will box at 120
pound's, and Red Stanko, who
has denied time and time again
that he is married, or Homer
Hoffman will fight in the 135-
pound class. '
Someone said that Bob Baird,
choice for the 145-pound bout,
-has black circles under his eyes.
They didn’t say whether he got
them from being hit too hard
with a pillow glove (16 ounces,
to you, girls) or from not getting
enough rest.
Jimmy Lewis, who definitely
is married, will box at 155 and
Les Cohen at 165. At 175 State
will have Paul Mall, no relation
to the cigarettes, and at the
heavyweight spot, Paul Scally,
sometimes known as the great
profile.
Don’t miss these delightful
bouts at Rec Hall at 3:30 Satur
day afternoon, girls. You may
come hatless if you feel so in
clined.
Genie's Great Gymnasts
To Gyrate if Temple
By EMILY FUNK '43
When eight of Genie’s little
prides and joys travel to Philly
Saturday for the Eastern Inter
collegiate meet with big, bad
Temple, who just can’t be beat,
six of them will be somersault
ing and climbing ropes in their
own backyards.
Our hearts go with the poor
dears into the big city where
they must either make their
mummies’ proud of their beauti
ful tricks or lose a chance of run
ning for the championship. And
they say the cup is. awfully
pretty.
But let’s be optimistic and
pray that Roman Pieo won’t let
us down, or himself. <■ White flan
nels do soil so easily. But shucks,
he just can’t. What with Lew
Bordo, Jack. Krauss, Sol Small,
John Teti, and Eddie Trybola
knocking themselves out on
home ground territory and Char
lie Semft and Ben Stahl there
too, the little monkeys will have
to win.
Yearling (agers Are
Terribly Eager To Win
By RUTH GERBER '43
It’s au revoir to Coach. Nick
Thiel’s cagy youngsters as they
blithely go to Cornell Saturday
in search of triumph for then
last onslaught of the season.
The Cornell lads are good—
they lost only one game, imagine!
But the youthful Niitany boys
can say, “Pooh to them,” since
Kiski Prep was the only thorn in
their side.
Maybe—oh, of course, anything
can happen—but probably these
“enfants terribles” will play:
Larry Gent and Whitey von
Nieda, forwards; Dave Hornstein.
center; Sid’ Cohen and Greeter
Pittenger, guards; Aldo Cenci.
John McCloary, Banks McFar
land and Jim Smith, reserves.
Blue Jerseys Aid Lions
To Top Mules, 50-29
By JEANNE C. STILES
Rivalry from the Muhlenberg
team forced Lawther’s live to
switch from their usual tattle
tale gray shirts to the deep blue
symbolic of Nittany Lion teams.
This undoubtedly brought about
their 50-29 walkaway on the Rec
Hall courts last night.
John Barr scored 5 points to
boost his record to 494 for 3 years
of varsity playing.
Excitement came early in the
easy victory when Elmer Gross
tossed the round pig skin at the
Mules' basket. He missed. The
crowd sighed .
By the end of the first half,
the Nittany Lions had clawed
their way to a 29-10 lead over the
balking Mules. Also at the end
of the first 20-minute period,
there were only 443 , spectators
left in the bleachers.
“Shifty-hip” Grimes hipped an
opponent early in the first period
which the referee or umpire,
which ever it was, failed to see.
Baltimore and Becker tied for
high score in the game, each with
10 points. Schneider followed
with seven, then “Shifty” Grimes
with his six.
With oniy 10 minutes left to
play, the center on the freshman
team, Dave Hornstein, sitting op
posite the press table, pulled out
a newspaper and proceeded to
follow action there.
With the rest of the spectators,
he was aroused by a “BOOM,”
ending the game.

Nine knights from Nittany
castle who take their chivalry
seriously are crusading in full
battle array to the Philadelphia
lists tomorrow with King Knit

Hamburg, Sir William Sheriff,
and Sir Allan Gussack. Sir El
mer Lowenstein, Sir Douglas
Adajps, and Sir Robert Harder
will challenge with Epees. Sir
George Gimbler, Sir Edward

Nilfany Tankmen Hope
Thai They'll Oulsplash
The Syracuse Boys
With 3 losses and 3 wins chalk
ed up, the Lion tankmen will
attempt to outsplash the “Boys
From Syracuse” in the wilds of
New York tomorrow.
Accompanied by Bill Gaskill,
the squad of 13 men, (which
number we hope isn’t significant
—or are there always 13 on a
squad?) will leave this morning.
“Gal” and his Great Ideas will
be forced to remain at State Col
lege because of the PIAA meets
this Saturday. For the benefit of
people like us, PIAA means
Pennsylvania Interscholastic Ath
letic Association. High school
mermen from all over the state
come to bathe in the luke-warm
waters of the Glennland.
Back to Syracuse: Penn State's
Fair-haired Boy, Bill Kirkpatrick
will splash alongside of Grable.
We think that Kirk will win.
Delmanzo will be pitted against
Orangeman Captain Whiteside
who beat him twice last year.
We think that “Del” will lose.
DID YOU KNOW
that Bob Higgins
played more games in
one year than any oth
er player. Bob played
a full season for the
A. E. F., then came
back to State and
played a full season
for the Lions—a total
of 16 games?
