.Trr '.Sports Writers-
Some people become irritated
easily and just let the hot air flow
freely. Not me. But every time I
think of the Navy virtually scut
tling; our wrestling team last Sat
urday I'get rippin’ mad. In fact I
even: feel like fighting'(but that
feeling doesn't, last for long, thank
God'.) The reason: the new Mid
‘die rifling passed this year making
'transfers eligible to compete in
varsity sports upon arrival—
wrestling in this case.
JJnder .-.this new ruling it

'these men include Malcolm Mac-

When asked what happened to
Ridenour, who lost his first 'dual
meet luatch since he was a sopho
rhore; said that MacDonald made
the Lion co-captain look sick, de
cisioning him by a 13-5 count, a
score which shows that Ridenour
Was just outclassed. MacDonald
won the takedown and it was his
bout.from there on it: (MacDon
ald’s a transfer from Purdue.)
Ih the' 136-pound bout in
-which ihe Navy's »Bob . Kill
look on and took over Lenny
Calanoso with a crotch and
half-nelson in 2:47 of the first
period, the bout was somewhat
farcical. Calanoso, wrestling
in his first varsity tangle, ap-
peared as a bush league novice
as compared to Kilt, who is
green around no edges. Kilt

For IM Cage Lead
By ROBERT BOGER
Shbwing a fine brand of playing
as league competition stiffens, 18
fraternity teams battled last night
at Rec Hall in a three round eve
ning of IM basketball.
Featuring, high scbres, the
league got under way at 7 when
Sigma' Chi overcame Delta Ppsi

one of the leagiie leaders, Was
sparked to victory by Riiss "Wad
dell and Bob Shattuck, both With
4 tallies. iJiill and Weiss scored all
4 points ftir D. D.
In the closest game of the eve
ning, with Befsel as high scorer,
Sigma Pi No. 2 edged out a hard
fighting opponent by one point.
His team b'eateh 12 to 11, Paul
Andei, of Phi Kappa, kept the
losers ih the game with 7 points.
Ih another game scheduled at 7
Phi Delta Theta No. 2 won by for
feit when Tau Kappa No. 2 Epsi
lon failed-to show its basketball
team.
At 7:30 an exhibition of brilliant
individual playing, Baxter, Jaco
by and Klotz rolled up a total of
15 basketSj as Alpha Chi Sigma
walloped Tau Kappa Epsilon No.
2 by a 36 to 4 score. The Chi’s
looked good and they are in a po
sition to lead the league with 2
won and 1 lost.
After the dust of a hard fought
battle settled, the Phi Delta The
ta cagers found themselves on the
long end of a 14 to 6 count. John
ny Meyers was high man for the
winners with 5 tallies' while Ed
Leapos of the losers, Theta Xi No.
2, was high scorer of the game
with 6 points.
In the second forfeited game of
the evening, Sigma Pi added an
other victory to its record when
Alpha Kappa Pi failed appear
on the floor.
In the last three rounds at 8,
Sigma-Nu joined Sigma Chi in the
league leadership, -both teams hav
ing a perfect record of three vic
tories and. no losjsds. Gordon Wolf
kiel and Dick Yodey, with 10 and
8 points respectively were the big
guns ih the Sigma Nu attack. The

■ In . the next game. Phv Epsilon
forfeited ;to Dfelta Chi, bringing
up the Chi’s record to two wcta
and one lost. '
The final game of the evening,
saw Delta Sigma Pi overpower
Phi .Sigma Kappa No. 2 by 26 to
4, to win their first game. The de
feat was the third-straight for the
losers who have yet to win their
first game.
Today’s schedule will see the
Independents take oyer for an
other three round battle. The “In
dys” promise a good showing and
are playing a fine brand of ball.
Leading the league are Allen Coop
and Grubersville JV’s.
to wander. That was enough to let
Swift gain a -cradle hold and half
nelson on himJn 1:29.
’, All in all, there’s no doubt that
Navy was stronger than us on Sat
urday, but they could’ve been
tuned down quite a bit -had the
three transfers been ineligible to
wrestle. Anyhow, I’m still irri
tated. *-

basketball team tomorrow after
noon, the Penn State Cagers ar
rived here tonight.
The Nittany team, rated high
in District 2 basketball circles be
cause of its record of ten wins
and four losses, is classed as fav
orite in this tilt. The Cadets have
won one game in ten trios.
At an advantage because of
their . added height, the Lions
should have an easy time over
coming their .opponents tomor

three mǤh over six feet tall, -will
find it hard to take anything from

In return for two meets here in
two successive seasons, those of
1944 and 1945, the Lion wrestling
squad will travel to Ithaca, N. Y.,
this weekend to meet the Big Red
of Cornell University.
This week's meet was to take
place in Rec Hall on Saturday
evening, but because of transpor
tation difficulties athletic officials
at Cornell had to cancel the meet.
However, in cancelling the meet
they stipulated that they would,
travel to State’s campus for two
successive seasons if the Lions
would meet them on their home
territory this season. The Athletic
Association agreed, and Coach
Campbell and bis charges will
take the road to Ithaca on Friday
morning.
Coach Walter C. O'Connell, Cor
nell’s wrestling head, can boast of
the services of five men from last
year’s varsity squad and a number
of good first year performers. Two
men who have returned to the
Big Red lineup from last season’s
team include Captain Richard
Nickerson, a 128-pounder in 1942
who has been wrestling at 136 .this
year; and • Erie Miller who has
been shifted from the 136-pound
slot to the 145 bracket.
Nickerson and Miller will be the
ones to watch in this weekend's
meet, and, according to CoSfeh
Campbell, will offer heavy com
petition to Harry and Crab’tfee,
who will return to the same spots
they occupied before the Navy
meet.
Other veterans on the Big Red's
lineup include Anthony LaScala at
155; Richard Klopp, a Penpsyl
vanian, at 128; arid heavyweight
Gordon • Steele, who had some
trouble rounding into shape at. the
start of the season because of lack
of competition, but has now read
ied himself for any opponent and
will be on a sharp lookout for
State’s Bob Morgan.
Outstanding prospects for Cor
nell in the remaining divisions who
are seeing their first year of var
sity competition are Richard Carl
son or Fred -McNair at 121;
Charles Colbert or George Stobie
at 165; and William Doe or James
Marsh at 175.
For State the lineup will return
to the same way it was before the
Navy meet with either Mattem or
Lowrie at 121, followed by the rest
of the varsity squad in their re
spective weight spots: Ridenour,
Harry, Crabtree, Dipner or Lind
zey, Reeve, Samler, and Morgan.
Saturday’s matches will be the
sixth meet for State this season.
The record for the Blue and White
up to this point stands at three
wins, one tie, and one loss.
