•TUESDAY,. FEBRUARY 16, 19*3. BiTWiEN : twe LIONS B* BEN BAILEY ... "Sports Editor- Today I. observe a special anni-. versaty. When I get to; the end of this piece I .will have finished ihy 50th consecutive daily column — which may or may hot be termed an achievement.— depending on whether "otifc is or is not a tedder, the time of day he reads this stuff, ■“anti hiS over-all mood, among other things. ; ■ i was; dnd still dm, tempted. Id extend the string to 75 or 60; bat With reiuCtdnee have decided to holifer -"\inc\k" af StJ. For' who can tell—afldi X redch;7s or .80;. what's to keep me from going on to the 100 mark; or even continuing in • definitely? And a reader hol lering "Uncle" is something to be -avoided. ■ Furthermore, a eonsecutive string of any kind is a sure sign that one is slipping into' a rut— and ruts, too, are something to 'be avoided. ’ For \some time- now I’ve had a , feeling akin to that of the gentle man who; loved to beat himself over the noggin with a tire iron because,it felt so good when he .. stopped/ It feels good to stop writ ing every day, too. Skipping a day now and then not only will afford me an. opportunity to rest my feet occasionally, and readers an opportunity to rest their eyes, but. Will make room for ' other,, staff writers having something to say to get in a word,' too. We have several writers cover 'i-'ing'sports at the present time who .will help break up the monotony 7 which at times settles about this ', page,.and j myself' iobk forward , to opening- the old blotter of a '.. morning to read someone else’s. views on whatever may need view ■; , ing. Right now the future looks black indeed for intercollegiate sports/The-recent Arniy edict bars all'those in the service who are stationed at colleges throughout the nation from helping out deci mated college teams. Pehn State's current sports program will continue as is 'for a few months yet, but ; . after'May they will probably • ' be forced to hang out the crepe —Jhat is if there's anyone left ; to hdng it out. In a few weeks there’ll be 500 ‘ Aviation Cadets shipped here for spre-pre-f light training. Judging from'the* rate many, familiar male faces are disappearing from cam v pus,, our male population .very .■shortly will be' comprised of near • ly all student-soldiers. If the Navy ■ follows the Army in its sports edict, that’ll surely put the kibosh ' .on sports for the duration. • Cagers Leave Today For One-Might Stand * Against West Point Taking to,, the. road again for a one-night' stand, the Lion cagers will travel to West Point today where*: they will meet the Army •five tomorrow afternoon. Despite their riot-tdo-godd rec ord 'for \yins op the,road this se mester, the Lions should have a rather easy time against the Army team. The Cadets’ record for the first nine > games this season shows a single win against eight losses. The Niitany five’s opponents for this game will, like a good many of the; Lions’ opponents this sea son, be at a height disadvantage. Beside the - comparatively tall State' team, the Cadets have only three men of six feet or over, the tallest of who is a mere six three. ;Probably the best showing the Cadetjg have made this season was against Pitt two weeks ago when they came within one point of beating the Pgnthers. They have, however, been up against a tough Virginia Millmen m Second Bout In $ Years to Lions Cavaliers Win Early Bouts But fail to Hold lead • Suffering its sccbnd • defeat in five years, the University of- Vir ginia’s boxing team bowed to the Niftany mittmen 4V6-3Vfe, in Char lottsville, Virginia. To Penn State went the honor of having- defeated the, Cavaliers on both bccasiohs. ' The Lions got off to a poor start, losing the first three bouts and ekeing out a draw in the 145- show. Although the HoUckmen have gnerally had poor showings in the heavy classes, they suprised every one by their winning in the top four weights. Bland, Maier Win Newcomers Harry Bland 175- pounds, and Ted Maier, 165- pbunds, both Were victorious in making their fihg debuts. Captain , Billy 'Richards and heavyweight Frank Hawrylak also won over Virginia opponents. Jackie Grey, first on the eve-' ning’s card lost a close decision to Massie in the 129-pound bout. This was. Grey’s first defeat in four starts this season. Glenn Hawthorne, 127-pound mittman, also had his winning streak broken when the Cavalier’s Miragliatta won a close decision. Cavaliers Lead, 3-0 Virginia went ahead to take a 3-0 lead when Jimmy Cassidy lost his second varsity bout by a de cision to Tommy Green 'of the University, o.f- Virginia. . Tighe Floors BuTrietts Jackie Tighe floored his oppon ent in the' first round-but Willie .Burnett was able to make a come back, holding' Tighe to a draw.

Navy, said to have one of their best teams on the floor this year, did not live up. to expectations as the Lions swept four of six events. Thb “Gobs” only “sweep” of an event came when they took the Blue and White boys on the rings, 3 to ,0. Bordo, Small Outstanding Outstanding performances dur ing the meet at Annapolis were given by Captain Lou Bordo and Sol Small on the parallel bars. Bordo also scored for the Lions on the' horizontal bar, while Small claimed a point oh the side horse but then found himself on the los ing side of the score sheet in the ring event. Chuck Lebow’s time of four sec onds flat was the'best for the rope climbing competition. This is the Same time by which Chuck estab lished a Coliege record in Rec Hall a fbw Weeks ago during interclass competition. Young and Wirt- I schafter were the other winners in the climbing event. Meade Excellent on Mats Billy Meade, sophomore sensa tion on the mats, squeezed a Win from Navy’s Bunn by performing a difficult routine during the tum bling exercises. Coach Wettstone’s gymnasts will meet Illinois in Rec Hall, 8 p.m. Friday for their first home match. Mat Squad Loses First to Middies Competing against a strong and undefeated Middie team on Satur day, afternoon, Coach Paul Camp bell’s varsity wrestling squad got “sunk” by the Navy to the tune of ■29 to 5. The loss was the first one the Lions have suffered thus far his season Ridenour Defeated Highlight of the meet was the defeat of Co-captain Charlie Ridenour in the 121-pound class, the slot in which, he wrestled and captured the EIWA championship last year. Ridenour fell victim tb Navy’s Malcolm MacDonald by a 13-5 decision. MacDonald, inci denta'lly, 'eliminated Ridenour from the 121-pound class in last season’s nationals while wrestling for Purdue. The defeat of Ridenour at Mac- Donald’s hands Was the first, he has . lost in dual-meet competition since he was a sophomore and the first dual-meet loss in the 121 : pound class in the three years he has spent as a member of the var sity wrestling squad.

Harry threw his man, Navy’s Joslin, in 8:37 with a cradle hold. The bout was, the first' that Harry has wrestled in that class this year. In the heavyweight division;,- which brought together the Lions’ Bob .Morgan and Navy’s 1942 EIWA heavyweight champ, Char les Swift, a crotch and half-nelson hold by Swift in 1:29 was too much for Morgan .to assimilate.
