The future of State's spring
'sports schedule is still undecided
but, the •prospects of the spring
"teams seeing their usual quota of
'action look much better now than
'a week ago.
• We can't give our reasons at
'the present for the change in the
outlook since the new second
'semester schedule was announced,
but we expect word from the ath
letic authorities for the go ahead
'signal within the next few days.
.The sudden change in the aca
demic year is so closely tied up
.with the sports set-up that a re
:vision of the latter, if necessary,
'entails a lot of work. Hence the
delay.

John Lawther, coach of the
'Lion basketball squad, regaled
'his audience in the journalism
'sports writing class the other day
with tales of the hardwood courts.
One crack had to do with the
Lion's host tomorrow night, West
Virginia. Commenting on the de
cisions usually handed out against
the Mountaineer's opponents in
Morgantown, Lawther remarked
that basketball is no longer a non
,contact, sport except at West iVr
ginia where a visiting player gets
called for a foul for holding hands
with someone in the balcony.
Last year when Rhode Island's
fame us two-paints-a-minute-quit',
tet was piling up huge scores
against all comers, the streak was
suddenly snapped by their tradi
tional rival from Connecticut
State.
Shortly after this upset, Law
ther met the Nutmeggers' coach
and asked him if his team play
ed a defensive game to win. The
latter answered yes. - (The score
was Connecticut State, 91; Rhode
Island State, 89.

Johnny Chambers, Lion skier,
who made the trip to Lake Placid .
over the Christmas vacation with
the rest of the State team.
In executing one of the turns
on the ski trail, Johnny met with
disaster and when he finally
emerged from .the pile of snow
where he was momentarily buried,
his face was a bloody mess. His
appearance was' remarked on by
Otto Schniebs, former Dartmouth
coach and foremost ski authority
in the country, who tried to cheer
Chambers up with a "Don't let it

Uncle Sam To Manage
Soose's Future fights
Ex-Penn Stater Billy !Soose has
announced definite plans to enter
the Naval Reserves sometime next
week. A special position in the
physical fitness department headed
by Gene Tunney is the aim of the
former Nittany Lion ringman.
Soose's decision to enter the
service came after his defeat last
Tuesday evening in Cleveland
when he lost a ten round decision
to Jimmy Bivins in his second
light-heavyweight scrap.
The Nittany mitman was start
ing a quest for the light-heavy
championship of the world, cur
rently held by Gus Lesnevich, but
the decisive licking handed him by
the Cleveland colored boy has
made him change his mind and
seek an enlistment in the service
along with such other notable
sports figures as Bob Feller, Joe
Louis, and Billy Conn.

Boxing 'Terrors'
To Meet Lions
In 'the first attraction of a dou
ble header, Penn State's boxing
Lions will swing it out with the
Green Terrors from Western Mary
land tomorrow night in Rec Hall
at '7 p. m.
Coach Leo Houck pointed out
yesterday that the squad, faced
with the loss of their captain, Bob
Baird, is determined to_ make it
victory number 12' when they meet
the team that has bowed by iden
tical scores of 7-1 to Penn State the
last twb years.
The unexpected injury to Bob
'Baird forcing him to withdraw
from' the opener, leaves a huge
gap for Houck to- fill in the 145-
pound class. Ernie George, who
has made an impressive showing
in intramural fighting and in this
season's training period; will prob
ably replace Baird in the lineup.
Jack Grey has improved greatly
in practice and is expected to get
the bid in the 120 pound weight,
while in the 127 class, Milt Dickson
or Jess Fardella will capture the
varsity berth. Dickson may not be
able to make the weight limit how
ever, when the contestents weigh
in at Ip. m. tomorrow. .
Homer Hoffman is in top form
and with his experience to aid him,
will probably tangle • in the 135
pound division. The J 5,5 class is
still a toss-up between Bill Rich
ards and Iry Jontow with Richards
likely to be chosen for the weight.
Charlie Kaveny has practically
clinched the starting post in the
165 pound class but complicaticins
may arise in the heavier weights
to change the lineup since Bob Hal
pin, unlimited contestant, has a
slight eye infection that may force
him to withdraw.
In this event, Nick Raneri, who
Lion. Stickmen Seek Initial Win
OF Season- Against Carnegie Tech
Despite being set back 2-1 at
the hands of the Hershey Junior
Cubs in their season opener Wed
nesday night, the Lion ice hockey
six are favored to repeat last
year's 4-1 victory over Carnegie
Tech i 1 their encounter Saturday
night in the Shaffer Ice Palace,
Johnstown.
Coach Art Davis' boys appear
ed exceptionally strong against
the more experienced Hershey
team, and with a little more prac
tice, especially' on offensive plays,
should present a well balanced
squad against Carnegie Tech.
Coach Davis expects to use vir
tually the same lineup which
he used against Hershey, with
Captain Larry Lightbocly at the
goalie spot, Bert Anthony and
Tom Goodwin at the defenses.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
State Cager
West Virgin
Penn
Over
Baric Holds Scoring
Hopes For Opponents
Height advantage, • which played
an outstanding part in Penn State's
recent basketball triumph over
American University, may again
prove to be the margin of victory
when Coach John Lawther's Lions
clash with a small University of
West Virginia quintet in the Mor
gantown Field House tonight.
Despiie the Mountaineers' lack
of height, they now rank as one of
the up-and-coming teams of the
East. Patricularly good on the of
fense, the West Virginians have a
great scoring threat in Captain
Rudy Baric, an agile 200-pound
senior, who tallied 14 points
against Geneva, 14 against Mary
land, 12 against Duquesne and 19
against Carnegie Tech.
Although Bdric stands six feet,
three inches, he is the only tall
man on the starting five. Roger
Hicks, Dick Keslin, Scotty Hamil
ton, and Lou Kamar—'the other
four who have teamed with Baric
in the previous tilts—are all an
inch or two under the six-foot
mark.
The Nittanymen, on the other
hand, average six feet, two inches,
and will probably be able to use
this definite height advantage in
scoring on rebounds. Coach Law
ther intends to start the same quin
tet that has been on the floor at the
opening tip-off in a majority of the
games this season..
This lineup finds Co-captain El
mer Gross and John Egli at the
forward slots, Herk Baltimore,
center, and Co-Captain Dick
Grimes and Bob Ramin at the
guard positions.
Baltimore led the attack against
Washington and Jefferson by scor
ing 5 points. In the Cornell fracas,
when the Lions were defeated for
the only time this season, Balti
more was again high man with 8
markers.
Against American University
and Bucknell, John Egli paced his
mates in the point-making depart
ment when he tallied 14 and 17
markers, respectively. .Giving still
more variety to the Nittany attack,
Bob Ramin took the laurels for the
evening by accounting for 10 points
when Coach Lawther's proteges
downed Susquehanna in the sea
son's opener.
Figuring that the high-scoring
honors had still not been in enough
hands, the Lion courtmen centered
their attention on the squad's two
top sophomores, Dave 'Hornstein
and Larry Gent, who rung up 10
points apiece to lead the Nittany
advance against Syracuse in the
last game prior to the ChriStmas
vacation.

from the intramural ranks, Carl
Maeier, might fill the 165 opening.

MR. CONSISTENCY—Rudy Baric,
who has been the top point maker
for West Virginia in four of the
team's first five games, appears to
be well on his way toward setting
a new single-season scoring record
for the Mountaineers.
Riflemen Prepare
For Heavy Card
With two victories already un
der their belts, the ROTC rifle
team is preparing • for their 'next
match on February 14. Intra
squad matches will be the only
competition the riflers will face
while conditioning for their heavy
February schedule.
Capt. Arno P. Mowitz, rifle
coach, has three veteran varsity
members and four of last year's
freshman team as a nucleus. This
year's team is expected to equal
or better the mark of last year's
ROTC lifters of eleven wins in
12 matches, losing only to Wash
ingbn State.
Hal Yount, captain, Johnny
Quirk, and Stan Forbes are re
turning along with Harold Buch
er, Ed Kaiser, Charles Rutschky,
and Ken Weimer, freshmen
marksmen last year. Newcomers
are Charles Baish, John Maclndoe,
freshmen Ken Yount and Bill
Suter.
In last nights practice session,
Ken Yount gave indication of his
value when he blazed a 386, the
best score turned in this year. In
the first two matches he also lead
the marksmen with a 385 total.
Ten postal matches comprise
the remainder of the schedule for
the ROTC marksmen. On Feb
ruary 14, they face Massachusetts
State College, Penn, New Mexico
Military Institute, and Utah State
College. The UniVersity of Flor

Lions To Face
Navy Grapplers
Mighty Navy, fresh from a 23-11
triumph over Carolina, will let
loose :her big guns in Rec Hall to
morrow night as the Midshipmen
attempt to sink Penn State's two
victory margin in the team series
of 27 meets.
At 175-pounds, Captain Bill Car
michael looms as the Navy's most
outstanding wrestler. Last week
he scored a fall in 1:55. Dick Ba
tista of Penn is the only man ever
to beat him in college competition.
Carmichael will be working to
avenge last season's meet when the
Lions sank the Navy 17-11.
With the experience gained from
an entire plebe year of grappling
and one varsity meet in which he
won everyone of his bouts by falls,
Bob Kitt will be a terrific opponent
for any Nittany 145-pounder.
In case academics keep Kitt from
the line-up, Junior Jim Hallaway
will be the choice inasmuch as he
wrestled 50 per cent of the 145-
pound matches last year.
Veteran Earl Buckw alter in the
136-pound berth is a cagey, hard
working mat expert. He scored a
fall against Carolina last week.
EIWA champion Mickey Bennett
returns to the 155-pound division.
His match with Lion Captain Glenn
Alexander should be a feature of
the meet.
The Midshipmen are somewhat
weakened by the loss of 165-pound
EIWA champ Bee Weems who
graduated early. Gene Bevan, for
mer Maryland interscholastic
champ, will attempt to properly
replace Weems.
Sophomore Bob Plass is expect
ed to give Penn State's Charlie
Ridenour some trouble since he
makes up for inexperience with
speed and strength. Charlie Jaslin,
another sophomore, will probably
defend the 128-pound post. He has
beaten Jack Heimack decisively
for the starting nod but will have
trouble making the weight.
Groomed and trained by heavy
weight champion Jack Harrell,
who is now ineligible for competi
tion, sophomore "Swifty" Swift
promises to make the unlimited
class bout with Jack Kerns a live
ly one. Swift won by a fall last
week.
