Penn came back strong, how ever, after play was resumed and sewed up the contest by annex ing the second doubles. Rain again halted the match in the middle of the final doubles contest with both teams deadlocked in the second set. By mutual agreement the •point for the final match was di vided between the two teams, making the final score 5% to 3V2.

At number two Ace Parker came from behind to spill Mac- Cracken of Penn in a hectic third set. Getting off to a slow start, Parker dropped the first set, 4-6, but rallied to take the next two, 6-3, 8-6. • Bill Lundelius extended Schaef er of Penn to three sets before bowing, 1-6, 6-3, 3-6. At number four Captain Chuck Bowman.was downed by Alson, 6-2, 6-4, and Johnny. Knode was defeated by Peele, 6-2, 6-3, at the fifth posi tion.

The last time that awards were won in three sports was by Sol Miehoff in 1939. Sol was All-American soccer player as well as court high scor er and baseball star. And before that we must look way back to 1929 before we find another year round performer. And may we say. that Steve Hamas must have been quite a busy boy, what with varsity letters in football, basket ball, boxing, baseball, and track. But let’s get Hack to the point of this column. Of coursfe you know who we’re talking about. Who else but barrel-chested, good humored Bob Perugini. Boxing New Experience Football and baseball are real ly Bob's first loves and this box ing business "just kind of hap pened" as Bob expressed it. It all started with Bob hanging around the ring watching his pal, Aldo Cenci, work out for "Fred" Houck. 'When Houck asked Bob to put on the gloves one day and try a couple of rounds he laugh ingly replied that his only exper ience had been in phys ed classes. But he put on the gloves and Houck thought he saw a natural. He was right. In fact in “Per ry’s” first fight against Michigan State, he was as calm and collect ed as a ring-scarred veteran, and as Houck put it, “he seemed to do everything just right...l couldn’t understand it.” I YOUR LAST WEEK j <2)on t Jortjet l THE PHOTOGRAPHS ! —at the— | Penn State Photo Shop ! / 214 E.

As Joe expressed it, "Bob is a gentleman, a good . sportsman, and finally a darn good fielder." Equally fav orable comments came from the "Hig" on mention of Bob as a football player. "He can pull out fast and that's what it takes to be a good guard. As far as Bob as a boy goes, his good-natured smile is never missing." And after all this, just one ques tion remains in our mind . . . Why are there so few athletes competing in two or more sports at Penn State? There may be food for thought here. Attention!
