Meet Princeton And Penn Today
Despite the handicap of fre
quent downpours, the undefeated
Lion golfers upset Georgetown,
defending champs, 5-4, yesterday
afternoon on the College course
to break a tie for first place in
the Mid-Atlaritic division of the
El GA
Two more sectional playoffs
face the Nittanymen today on
the College course—with Prince
ton at 9 o'clock and Penn at 2
bc.fore the league championship
is decided. Other matches being
held at the same time are Cor
nell vs. Penn, and Georgetown
Pitt in the morning; and Cor
nell vs. Georgetown, and Pitt vs.
Princeton in the afternoon.
With a record of five victories
And only one defeat L—to the
33 oyas—this season, Princeton's
veteran sextet may furnish trou
ble for Coach Bob Rutherford's
boys. 'The Quakers, however,
who have been suffering from a
losing streak lately, should prove
i easy mark for the Lions in the
,afternoon encounter.
In other playoffs held yester
d,-,y on the College course,
Princeton defeated Cornell, 5-4,
and Pitt defeated Penn, 5-4, in a
drawnout meet which was decid
ed on the 22nd hole.
State's victory over George
town' not only stretched the Lion
winning streak to six straight
matches, but shook an old five
year jinx which has dogged them
»1 all their encounters wtih the
ltlyas. Since they started sched
uling in 1936, Tony Silvester's
boys have consistently beaten
the. Nittanymen in every match.
. In the first foursome Don Ley
dal downed Dick Myers of the
”oyas, 4 and 3, but Scotty Max
well lost his match for State to
llud Sharkey by 1 up. The sec
caid foursome was a clean sweep
for the Lions with Bob Wallace
winning over Georgetown's Bill
)lohrey, and Chuck Seebold de
feating Tom Holligan, both by 4
and 3 scores.
Georgetown won the third
foursome hands down. Both Nit
.iPhymen, Captain Jack Brand
iold sophomore Don Hart, were
off form. Brand had sand trap
ixoubles, and Hart was jinxed
with bad putts.

Nitlaymen Face Cadet
Trackman Away Today
Frank Platt, Jim Williams, and
Captain Van Hartman 'will be
missing this afternoon when the
Werner-coached track Lions try
for their season's first victory
against their Cadet hosts at West
Point.
Spiint star Barney Ewell will
again carry the bulk of the Lion's
point winning chances. Cadet
Kearie Berry will puah Ewell in
the "century'' dash, and Barney
should find Frank Wadell even
tougher opposition in his favorite
220 yard dash.
Saul Hanin will be favored to
repeat his Pitt performance and
win the shot put event.
Although jumping with a sore
ankle last week Johnny Glenn
topped 6 feet 1 inch for first
place. He should hit a higher
mark against the Soldiers.
Army's surest points will come
in the javelin toss, the hurdle

Penn State's up and down net
men will try to regain their win

o'clock.
Cornell's racquetmen who have
had the benefit of a southern trip
recently pushed Army to the
limit in .a close 5-4 struggle.
Army took the Lion's opening
meet, 9-0. Figures like these
show that the local courtmen
will have to play improved ten
nis if they are to break their .500
average in the right direction.
In what should be the best
match of the season, Captain Mac
Weinstein of State and Captain
Ken Randell of Cornell will face
each other in the middle court.
Playing No. 2 for the Lions
will be Don "Ace" Parker and
at the third spot. veteran Del
Hughes. Chuck Bowman will
probably be at No. 4, followed
by Bill Lundelius and John

Outfight Champ In 15th
Special io the Collegian
NEW YORK, N. Y., May 9
Billy Soose, the Penn State lad
who left college to seek fame in
the ring, accomplished tonight
what no other college fighter had
ever done before by pounding his
way to a fifteen round decision
and the world's middleweight
championship over veteran Ken
Overlin. Fourteen thousand fans
jammed Madison Square Garden
to see the title exchange hands.
It took a furious last round
finish to give the erstwhile Nit
tany Lion boxer the coveted
crown which has been his goal
in three years of profession cam
paigning. Held even by the cagy
champion for fourteen rounds,
Soose came out fast in the final
three minutes, pounding Overlin
all over the ring in a desperate
attempt for a knockout.
The fading ex-marine held on
till the bell but the tremendous
edge gained by the Farrell boy
proved the deciding point of the
hard fought bout. The crowd
never sat down during the story
book finish and pandemonium
broke loose when the announcer
declared Soose the winner and
new champion.
Overlin came out fast in the.t
first round, using his left to good
advantage. After a short ex
change of blows, the champion
ended the round with a hard left
and right to the body. The chall
enger, boxing beautifully, ap
peared to hold a slight edge in
the,next three rounds holding off
Overlin who was trying to land
a knockout blow.
The next four rounds found
Soose doing most of the advan
cing but the titleholder's very
deceiving crowding style appear
ed to baffle his oppenent and he
beat the lanky challenger to
punch time after time. •
The tide of the titanic struggle
was turned by Soose in the ninth
and tenth rounds when he sud
denly switched from boxer to
slugger to completely outfight
Overlin. The latter's : knees
buckled several times but he
weathered the furious attack
without hitting the floor.

Seeking their second win of
the season in five starts, the Lion
latrosse team will tear into the
Quakers from Penn on New
Beaver Field at 2 p. m. this af
ternoon in their last home ap
pearance of the season.
The Nittany stickmen, who
won their first game of the year
last Saturday from Lehigh, will
be facing a team in Penn which
has not won an intercollegiate
game this season. Closest thing
to a victory for the Quakers was
a triumph over Penn A. C. la
crosse outfit in a practice session.
In previous encounters with
Penn, the Nittanymen have
nearly always come out on top.
Since Nick Thiel has been coach
in gthe State stickmen, the Lions
have won five games and
dropped one—last year by a close
6-5 score.
Coach Nick Thiel will start
virtually the same lineup against
the Quakers that began in the
Lehigh fracas.
