Prospects for this year's contest
indicate that Coaeh"Speidel's. ar
tists must display championship
ability to stave off a foe superior
to any team the Lions have met
this season. Cornell will strive to
repeat its last victory gained in
1928 when the Big Red strode away
with an 8-17 decision,
- Highest Penn State score in the
history of the series came in 1936
when the Lake Cayuga grunt-and
'groaners were bliitd 3O-0. The
best Cornell tally was its last in
1928.

liminary to the regular Hershey

ing lost but one game.

Houck Attacks
Boxing Tactics
The varsity hoxing ring was the
scene of an all-out "blitz" yester
day as I,eo Houck put his charges
through their paces and made se
vere corrections of their tactics
used in the Virginia match Satur
day night.
The good aoctor Made little
comment .on the bouts in which
the newer members bf the squad
fought, but he did attack the abil
ity shown by the veterans in the
Virginia tussle.
"Baird fought like a shoemak
er," Houck commented when he
reviewed the captain's win over
an inexperienced Cavalier. The
Lion mentor pointed out that even
"Hammering Homer" Hoffman
fell suoject to the famed right
hand "sucker" punch of boxing
that the Viriinians used to such
good advantage.
The mentor was pleased with
- Joe McCormick's showing in the
match even though the '65 pound
er lost a 'derision. "McCormick
looked stronger in the ring and
withstood punishment better than
in his previous bouts," Houck
stated.
The Nittany coach pointed out
that a juggling may occur in the
175 class when the team travels
to Army this week. Max Palena
stands a good chance to get the
nod for starting berth.
A notice was served on Jackie
Grey to "keep on his toes" yes
terday when Jack Reitz, intra
mural finalist for two years, re
ported for practice after illness
had kept_ him on the sidelines.

18 Frosh Pugilists •
Contend For Team's
Eight Starting Pots
With only three days remaining
before the frosh boxing team's
opening match with the Army
plebes on Saturday, 18 mittmen
are still in the running for the
eight starting posts, according to
Dan DeMarino, freshman boxing
coach.
"The team is shaping up pretty
well," DeMarino said, "but they've
all been working so hard that it
will be rather difficult deciding
who wi'l represent Penn State.
"In the 120-pound division, for
exampl.?„ where boxers are usual
ly scarce, we have four frosh
working out every night and they
all look good," the freshman coach
added. Cy Ivory, Karl Yohn,
Jack Dempsey, and Dave Wright,
according to DeMarino, are out
standing in this class.
