Cavalier Boxers
Seek Fifth Win
A - tough battle is - scheduled for
Leo Houck's boxing team when th 6
Virginia .Ca.valiers invade Rec Hall
Saturday. night gunning . for their
fifth straight victory Of the season.
Al York's punchers rolled up a
5 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 win over VPI in their ini
tial tilt and continued to pad their
unblemished record by whipping
North Carolina 5-3. - :-.and Western
Maryland 4 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 . - The Virginia
squad decisioned_ a., supposedly
tough aggregation from Florida
last Saturday by a 5 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 count.
The undefeated Virginia lineup
is headed by Tommy Thomason in
the 121 class, Who - is - in his second
year of boxing. Thomason gained
a draw at VPI and was TKOed by
a North Carolinian _but won in the
Western Maryland meet. He was
decisioned at Florida.
Jim Mclver, 127 pounder, up
from the frosh team last year, has
two losses and two draw bouts to
his record, but.is shifty and can hit
if given an opening.-
Feature 'bout of the evening
should be .the Homer Hoffman-
Willie Barnett go ih the 135 weight.
Hoffman has racked up two second
round technical knockouts this sea
son while his opponent received
the first two defeats of his entire
career against Western Maryland
and Florida. Barnett, twice South
Atlantic scholastic champ and nev
er defeated in high 'school or on
the frosh team, deciisoned his VPI
and North Carolina foes.
• In the 145 division, Bill Victor
of the Cavaliers, will probably
meet Captain 80b.7/4aird or Ernie
George who has been pushing
Baird hard for the starting berth
this week
Frank Null, 155 pound pugilist
who fought on the frosh team last
year, . should give fill Richards
plenty of trouble when they clash
Saturday. Null captured two de
cisions before the Florida meet in
whiCh he coasted to victory over a
capable contender. - ,
Probably one of the most skillful
boxers on the team, who clouts in
the .165 weight, is Captain Ken
Rathbun. Rathbun has three de
cisions to his - credit .this season.
Ken'S, 175 pourid brother Nor
man has a commendable record so
far with two decisions, one draw,
and one loss. In the unilimited
class, Cavalier Milton Parlow, tac
kle on the football team, has made
a good showing by racking up
three wins.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Nillanymen Score
6th Straight Victory
By GORDON COY
Penn State's Lions roared a de
cisive' warning throughout the
Eastern basketball stronghold last
night as they routed the visiting
Temple Owls in Rec Hall 46-33,
to ring up their six tn straight vic
tory.
Capitalizing on a first-half scor
ing "blitz," the Nittany cagers forg
ed far out in front early in the tilt
and then coasted through to their
11th victory in 13 games played
this season.
Led by big Herk Baltimore, who
took scoring honors . with 15 points,
the Lions broke a 4-4 deadlock in
the opening minutes of the game,
and from then on were never head
ed. It was the Nittany courtmen's
first home . appearance since mid
way in December, and they took
advantage of the debut by wallop
ing the OWls 29-11 during the first
half.
Following the half-time inter
mission, however, the visitors re
gained some of the spark that they
recently displayed in defeating
New York University. With only
six minutes left to play, Temple
edged to within nine points of the
Lions, but Penn State nipped the
rally despite the loss of three play
ers via the personal foul route.
During the first half, Coach John
Lawther's quintet presented an al
most unbeatable combination as
the Lions' questionable offense
clicked just as well as their famed
'sliding zone defense. The result
was obvious as Baltimore, Larry
Gent, and John Egli shared the
brunt of the attack with •eight,
seven, and seven points, respec
tively.
The second half was a different
story, however, as Temple out
scored Penn State, 22-17. With
both teams playing a Tough game,
perSonal fouls dominated the clos
ing minutes of the battle. Out of
the 38 personals called by the of
ficials, Penn State accounted for 18
and Temple 20.
Continuing his commendable
foul-shooting record, Elmer Gross
tallied five points in five tosses
from the free-throw line, to bring
his season's total to 33 out of 41.
