That year the Nit tany Lions won just as many championships, three, and as many second-places, three, but were edged-out for the team title by the Syracuse .lads 26 to 25 for the team title::::. And on that team, Coach Leo Houck had a few : . fellows named Frankie Goodman, Izzy Richter, Sammy Donato,. Lou Ritzie, Billy Soose, and Wester KOciubinsky . . . The ElBA'took an awful black eye itself that year, with criticism coming from all parts of the fis tic world '. 1 . Here’s hoping that a similar situation doesn’t arise this.'year • ; :;. Maybe'the EIBA could take'a'tip from the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Associ ation and seed, its boxers, not al lowing so many byes to go to one school ■. .-. Anyway, we can’t see another EIBA: title for the Nit tany Lions-in T 941, which we hope isn’t being .traitorous IM Wrestling Weigh-Ins Intramural wrestling weigh-ins for fraternity and independent units will be held in the varsity locker room of Rec Hall from 4 to 5:30 p. m. today, and tomor row.

Other passers honored were Jim Ruch of West Virginia, Jim Brady of Waynesburg, Sofiak of Michigan an<£ Evers of Illinois. They were not selected accord ing to position. Barr was the outstanding man on the floor when the Lions downed the Panthers, 36-21, in Rec Hall last Saturday. Earlier in tije season Pitt defeated the Nittanymen, 36-27, at Pittsburgh. EIWA Competition Evenly Matched No collegiate grappling squad will be- ranked as the top ‘favorite to romp away with EIWA wrest ling championship honors when 11 teams compete at Columbia University on March 14 and 15, according to Coach Charlie Spei del, Nittany Lion mentor. With no brilliant teams, but plenty of dangerous grapplers, most squads will counterbal ance each other because they are either flush with light or heavy weights, Speidel intimated. Where Navy is strong in- the heavy division, Cornell will make a bid'in the light weights, Spei del pointed out. Other teams like Penn, Princeton, Yale will show strength in many positions but not a star-packed top-notch lineup, he added. As for State, Captain Frank Gleason, Joe Scalzo, Clair Hess, Glenn Alexander, Joe Valla, and Chuck Rohrer, have had exper ience in intercollegiate competi tion with Charlie Ridenour and Jack Kerns getting their first baptism of intercollegiate mat fire. Alpha Tau Omega Gagers Down Alpha Chi Sigma In Extra Period Alpha Tau Omega in a 5 min ute extra period of intramural basketball last night downed Alpha Chi Sigma, 30-23, with Byron B.

The victory gave State the most successful cage season it has had since 1927 when the Lions won 13 out of 17. This season John Lawther’s charges took 15 out of 20 contests. The end of the first quarter against Tech saw the Tartans ahead, 9-6. State’s Johnny Barr put the Lions in front at the op ening by sinking a foul but Pat ton, who was high scorer with 19 points, played brilliant ball to pull Catnegie into the lead. In the second period the score was tied three iimes, 11-11, 13- 13, and 16-16. Penn State was never ahead. At the start of the third quarter, Scotty Moffatt tal lied after a solo dash down the floor to give Lions an 18-16 marg in. Tech deadlocked' the count again at 18-18 but for the last time. The Nittanymen got their second wind in the last quarter to pull away and win easily The summary: Penn State (42) G Barr, f 3 Gross, f 4 Baltimore, c 0 Grimes, g 0 Ramin, g 0 Moff att 8 Totals 15 Carnegie Tech (32) G Burch, f 2 Patton, f Fisher, c Herald .

Hess ’42, ping-pong manager, has an nounced that all independent singles matches in table' tennis will be played tomorrow and Saturday. Bedenk Galls Frosh Coach Joe Bedenk has called for pitching and catching candi dates for the freshman baseball team instead of varsity players, as erroneously stated in yester day’s paper. Candidates should report to Rec Hall immediately. 808 TAYLOR PLUMBING and HEATING N. BUTTS ' DIAL 2722 ing Carnegi Lion Riflers Meet Army Minus Sfah! r s Services Nittany riflemen will encounter Army in a shoulder-to-shoulder match at West Point on Satur day, but Co-captain Ben Stahl will- be missing from the lineup. Stahl will accompany Lion gym nasts to Princeton where he will enter the rope-climb event. Winning 12 matches and losing to U.C.L.A., Virginia Military In stitute, and lowa State, the Nit tanymen expect to be hard pressed to snatch the match from the West Pointers by virtue of its remarkable 1415-1394 victory over Navy last week. Draff May Take Galen Bailey Included among the 62 candi dates out for spring football practice is a promising substitute halfback from last year’s team whose chances' of seeing any var sity action next year are very slim indeed. Not that Galen Bailey isn’t good enough to rip through op posing lines for substantial gains but he drew a very low draft number, and Uncle Sam will probably claim priority rights to his services on July 1. Coach Bob Higgins won’t lose nearly as many players through the draft as some of next year’s opponents since the sophomore tailback looms as the only Lion candi date for the army. The gridders enjoyed another indoor holiday yesterday and won’t see any heavy duty until they transfer their practice ses sions outdoors next week.
