The meet, scheduled for tomor row afternoon in Navy’s McDowell Hall, will be the third for the “Gobs” so far this season. The un tried Lions will be meeting an ex perienced and determined squad, since Navy has one of its finest teams on the floor this year. Starting for the Blue and White will be Captain Lou Bordo, Ray Sorenson . and Chuck Lebow on the horizontal bars. John Teti, Sol Small and Sorenson will feature on the side horse. Incidentally, the Navy boys boast of a Pacific Coast AAU champ by the name of Julian who will test Teti’s ability on the horse. Rope-climbing assignments have been granted to Chuck Lebow, Bill Young, Barclay and Wirtschafter. Navy is exceptionally strong in this department, having been un defeated in rope-climbing compe tition for several years. Chuck Le bow, however, is expected to give the fans a run for their money. Lebow, a few weeks ago, tied the College record and set a new mark the following week by hoisting himself up to the required 20-foot level in four seconds flat. The parallel bar trio .will include Ray Sorenson, Small and Teti, while ring performers will be Bill Bonsall, Sorenson and Small. Bon sail, leading Lion scorer on the rings, will be competing against intercollegiate champion Parker. On the mats, the Lions will be represented by three freshman performers. Billy Meade, PIAA tumbling king, Harold Frey and Bonsall will carry the Blue and .White hopes. - -Ray Sorenson and Sol Small will •take part in three events each, and their performances during these events will greatly determine the scoring power of the Lions. The match will be judged under the new scoring method initiated this season. Three winners for each' event will be named, with the victor adding one po'int to the team total. Eighteen points will constitute a' perfect team score. Use of this method of scoring will tend to make the competition keener and put the gymnasts on a more equal basis. Following tomorrow’s match, which will be their first defense of their eastern title, the Lions will meet.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Teams Lion and Sailor Mat Teams Both Undefeated (Special to the Collegian) ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 12- Coach Paul Campbell and his Nit tany Lion wrestling team arrived here today for their meet with the Midshipmen matmen of the United States Naval Academy tomorrow evening in McDowell Hall. Both teams are undefeated thus far this season, and tomorrow evening’s bouts will be hard fought by both sides so that their season’s records may be kept intact. Varsity men wno arrived here with Coach Campbell include Co captains Charlie Ridenour and Sam Harry, Joe Steele, A 1 Crab tree, Charlie Dipner, Fred Reeve, Ogden Samler, and Bob Morgan. All men but Samler and Steele have seen varsity action this year. Steele, who just turned out to practice with the Lions this week, has made some very good show ings in the 136 : pound weight bracket during the practice ses sions and will probably perform in that slot, shoving Harry and Ridenour back to their 1942 spots, the 128- and 121-pound weights, respectively. On the other side of the ledger the Mid d i e s,, to o, have gone through a hard week of workouts and are aiming to tame the wild Lion eight. Evidence of Navy’s strength is the fact that they have shut out three of the four teams they have opposed and allowed the fourth to score only one de cision of three points against them. In the 121-pound class, Navy can boast of the services of Malcolm MacDonald, who although not the 1942 National Intercollegiate champion in that bracket as er roneously stated in the Collegian earlier this week, is a very cap able performer, shown by the fact that it was he who eliminated State’s Ridenour from the , 121- pound slot in the Intercollegiates. Another outstanding member of the Middies’ squad is. Captain Charles Swift, last year’s heavy weight champ of the Eastern In tercollegiate Wrestling Associa tion. Swift will be a difficult opponent for the Blue and White’s Bob Morgan to overcome in to morrw evening’s final bout. The rest of the Navy lineup is composed of a group of well ex perienced men, most of them hav ing seen varsity competition last year. Listed in the various pound age brackets, aside from MacDon ald at 121 and Swift in the heavy weight spot, are Charles Joslin at 128; Bob Kitt at 136; Josiah Hen son at 145; Stephen McClintic at 155; Chuck Creel at 165; and Earl Yates at 175.

Next To Bank Clock BETWEEN THE LIONS By BEN BAILEY Sports Editor— “No, I didn’t see it coming. It caught me clean on the button, though—at least that’s what they told me. But it didn’t hurt me,” the gentleman insisted. “All I want is another crack at that guy.” As you've already guessed, the gentleman in question was Leo Houck's heavyweight bekk-bust er, Frank Hawrylak, explaining the bump by Toots Mirabito which spoiled his (Frank's) eve ning in Rec Hall last Saturday night. “The way I figgered it, it either had to be Toots or me,” Frank was figuring aloud,- “so I jumped in there and tried to land before he could.” (Toots landed first.) That fight still preys on Frank’s mind, for he believes—and I think he’s right—that he wasn’t in the ring long enough to display his wares against Toots. (Frank for gets that Toots hasn’t been stopped in 75 ring starts—which is a rather impressive. record.) ■ , Although Frank still-has that, peculiar stance in - the ring, which reminds one of a piano lifter stomping grapes, he is un-. doubledly a very dangerous' puncher. As a kid Frank lived about five blocks up the street from Tony Galento in Orange, N. J., and that is where he first became interested in boxing. He won the heavyweight IM . title in the Independent class last Fall, but was out-pushed by Jack Banbury for the All-Col lege Championship. Since that initial setback, however, Frank has come a long way with the gloves. He has dressed up his style so that now he does a flashy one-two kick instead of the more cumber some one-two-three-kick as he moves, in to the attack. He has muffled his characteristic, snorting into what passes for a ’ -melodic sneeze, and instead of frightening the. opponent With it he more or less tends to puzzle him. (The out standing exception was Mirabito.) Tonight Frank takes on a South ern Gentleman from Virginia Uni versity in Charlottesville, who also has an enviable record with his fists. None of Frank’s bouts has gone more than one round so far. With -him it has always been "either the othor or me," and so far the argument always has been settled in the opening round. Tonight he intends to avoid the . mistake he made against Toots. ■ jii JL ..Wavin'.■ CATHAUM— “Commandos Strike at Dawn” STATE— “Shadow of a Doubt” NITTANY— “Omaha Trail”' SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1943, RW—Ride wanted to Philadelphia, Leave Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.
