TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1943 Lions Suffer Second Straight Loss As Mountaineers Down Cagers, 32-27 West Virginia's “jinx” over Penn State’s athletic teams still continues. This was evident after the Mountaineers trounced the Nittany Lions Saturday evening by a 32 to 27 score on the Morgan- town court, running the blue and white string of defeats to two straight on foreign wood. Defensive playing by both squads accounted for the low scor ing.- Penn State’s failure to click constantly on the offensive added towards the defeat. • Saturday’s loss brings the lia bility side of the percentage col umn to three lost so far this sea son, as many as the Lions dropped during the entire season last year. Hopes for another district title vanished following Saturday’s loss. . ■ Although the blue and white cagers gained a 10 to 8 lead at the end of the initial period, the drive put on by the Mountaineers was enough to surge them ahead with a 20 to 14 count at the end of the •half. . •’ Two foul shots were- all. the points the Lions could garner dur ing the third quarter, while the Mountaineers increased their lead to 14 points by scoring 10 counts during the same period. • The play, was reversed in the final quarter when the blue and white sunk-11 points'to 2by the Jackie Grey started off on the West Virginians.

Which only serves to sustain my theory that long-enough exposure to the elements of the Nittany Mountain regions provides the sub- ject with that extra pinch of in testinal fortitude to rise above air less Pullman products and bad res taurants. Not only did the Lion ring sters enjoy the tiring trek to Michigan, but they would have handed the latter a thor ough thumping, instead of the - 4-4 stalemate they . shared, had the fellows who were ex- pected to bog down bogged down rather than the fellows who were not expected to bog down but who did bog down. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Niffany Lion Boxers Divide Card, 4-4, With Michigan State Fighting a greatly improved Michigan State boxin gteam, the Nittany mittmen boxed to a 4-4 draw at East Lansing, Michigan, Saturday night. Point gamerers for Penn State were Jackie Grey, Glenn Haw thorne, Tighe, Martella and Haw rylak. The boxing bouts, sandwiched in between events of Michigan’s indoor track meet with Ohio State, got under way with senior Jackie Grey winning a decision over Bill Zurowski. GREY FLOORS MICHIGAN CAPTAIN Zurowski, who captains Michi gan’s team, was floored in the second round by Jackie and was unable to make a comeback against the 121 pound Somson from Penn State. Zurowski, Bill’s twin brother, also bowed before a Lion boxer, Glenn Hawthorne. Hawthorne won the 127 pound bout on a de cision to give Penn State a 2-0 lead. MICHIGAN EVENS SCORE Both Shabacker and George lost by decision in the 135 and 145 pound class respectively, to even the score, 2-2. Jackie Tighe’s TKO over Char lie Mootz in the early part of the second round put the Lions in the lead once more. Captain Billy Richards lost the judges and referees decision in the 165 pound tussle. The last two matches of the eve ning, were draws.' MARTELLA DRAWS Martella, 175 pound belter, held Mencotti to a draw. In the un limited bout Frankie Hawrylak came out fast, pelted his oppon ent with a score of rapid- lefts and rights. ' The match was stopped in the first, minute when Ward was se verely injured and the bout was declared a draw. - The summaries are as follows: 121-pound class: Grey (PS) de cisioned Zurowski (MS). 128-pound class: Hawthorne (PS) decisioned Zuraowski (MS). 136-pound class: Wood (MS) de cisioned Schabacker (PS).' 145-pound class: Shinier (MS) decisioned George (PS). 155-pound class: Tighe (PS) scored T.K.O.' over Mootz (MS) in second round. 165-pound class: Calkins (MS) decisioned Richards (PS). 175-pound class: Martella (PS) drew with Mencotti (MS).

HARRY LOSES FIRST MEET The meet, the third of the cur rent wrestling campaign for the Lions, saw last year’s 128-pound EIWA champ, Sammy Harry, lose his first dual meet battle in inter collegiate competition. Harry lost to the 1942 EIWA 136-pound champ from Princeton, Warren Taylor, by a close decision, 3-2. In the first bout of the after noon, Penn State’s Bob Lowrie decisioned McNulty by* the count of 4-0. The bout, which was the third win for Lowrie this season, witnessed Lowrie with the upper hand throughout? RIDENOUR WINS THIRD THIS SEASON Ever-capable Charlie Ridenour, the Blue, and White’s 1942 121- pound champ, scored his' third fall of the year in as many match es, when he pinned the Orange and Black’s Moore in the 128- pound class of the second period with a reverse chancery and scis sors. • In the 145-pound class, A 1 Crab tree of the Lions met and decision ed Princeton’s Corothers by a shutout score of 12-0, Crabtree garnered .three near falls during the progress of the bout and had ' almost pinned his opponent’s shoulders to the canvas when the bell ending the third period rang. Had he succeeded in finishing off his man in. due time, State would have walked off. the floor with ’its third victory this year. Crabtree remains undefeated thus far this season.
