THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Tar Heel Coach
Praises Fardella
By DICK STEBBINS
Leo Houck's varsity mittmen
served notice on the University of
Virginia that they are in for a
tough battle this weekend by
downing a stubborn North Caro
lina team, 6 1 / 2 to 1 1 / 2 , in Rec Hall
Saturday night.
Captain Johnny Johnston was
the' only thorn in the side of the
Lion pugilists when he scored a
close decision over Jess Fardella.
The other half-point registered by
the Tar Heels came through a
draw in the Joe McCormick-Ly
man Higdon scrap.
"Fardella sure is a clever box
er," • Mike Ronman stated after
the fights Saturday night. The
bout was very- close even though
the 127-pound Carolina captain
won every -round. The win was
the fourth this season for John
ston.
McCormick and Higdon provid
ed an action-packed battle in the
165 division with the Lion con
tender showing much improve
ment since his loss in the Western
Maryland match. McCormick's
powerful left swings tired his
more experienced opponent.
Homer Hoffman was barely
warmed up before the referee
stopped his bout with Earle Bru
ton in one minute of the second
round. A dynamite left hook and
good - boxing were Hoffman's pow
er of attack and his 135-pound
ring foe never had a chance as the
Lion pride chalked up his second
straight win of the season.
Aldo Cenci, Houck's "six-day
wonder," swept 01 three rounds
from his Dixie contender to score
his first collegiate victory. Cenci's
strong right hand punch was out
standing.
Jack Grey scored a TKO over
Jack Kurtz in 1:05 minutes of the
first round for his second colle

Weekend In N.Y. Slate
The weather again caught up
with the Lion hockey team. Sche
duled to play a doubleheader over
the weekend with Cornell and
Colgate, the puckmen arrived in
Ithaca, N. Y., rriday for the Cor
nell\ game, only to find that a
heavy rain storm had arrived be
fore they did.
Accustomed to such situations,
Coach Art Davis' boys proceeded
to Hamilton, N. Y., to fulfill the
second half of the engagement
against Colgate, only to find that
the weather was first again. Since
there were no indoor rinks avail
able, both games were cancelled
and the hockeymen, started for
home.
Lion Mermen Divide
Weekend Double Bill
Splitting even in their weekend
doubleheader in Pittsburgh, Penn
State's mermen dropped a close
41-33 verdict to the Pitt Panthers
on Saturday, after ringing up a
39-36 victory over Carnegie Tech's
Skibos on the preceding . night.
Against Pitt, Coach Bob Gal

Prepare To Face
'Suicide' Schedule
After walloping a hapless Car
negie Tech quintet, 56-26, in Pitts
burgh Saturday night, Penn State's
varsity basketeers will return
home Wednesday night to play be
fore a Rec Hall crowd for the first
time in more than a month.
By winding up their seven-game
road trip with Six victories, Coach
John Lawther's proteges will carry
a commendable record into Wed
nesday night's Temple fray, which
is the opening battle of the forth
coming "suicide" schedule.
Despite the fact that they now
own a five-game victory streak, the
Lions will soon be called upon to
face a schedule that might well
cause Long Island U. or Bradley
Tech to sit up and take notice.
Colgate and Syracuse were or
iginally scheduled for Friday and
Saturday of this week, but the or
der has been reversed and the
Lions will play Syracuse on Fri
day and Colgate on Saturday. Both
contests are away. Next week,
Penn State begins a fourgame
home-stand, which completes the
1941-42 schedule.
