PAGE SIX Seven Meets Booked For Varsity Boxers With Head Coach Leo Houck back at the helm, Penn State's boxing team will begin preparations Monday for a seven meet schedule. The Lions will engage Virginia, Army, and Wisconsin in home-and-away matches, and travel to New London to oppose last year’s champ, U. S. Coast Guard Academy. , The veteran Lion coach, who will be starting his 24tn season, was granted a leave of absence last year to instruct troops overseas. He was succeeded by Marty McAndrews, football and boxing assistant who, working with inexperien- ced men, finished the season .without a dual win for the first time in Penn State’s long boxing career. More than half of last year’s varsity is expected to rejoin the team next week. Although they failed in winning a dual meet last season, Coach Houck feels that with the added experience ac quired through competition they should make a much better show ing this year. > Among the prospective return ing veterans are Navy trainees Joe .Bondi and Bill Cramer. Bondi at 155, was a regular starter last season. Cramer joined the team in midseason and was; Coach Mc- Andrews choice for the 121-pound spot, giving his best performance in dropping a decision to his West Point Opponent. Nick Ranieri, light heavyweight last year, has indicated his return, as well as Jack Seitchick, who fought in a few bouts at 155 pounds. The veteran Paul Smith, 135-pound captain of the team last year, will rejoin the team after the Christmas holidays, according to Coach Houck. All men interested in trying out for the team are asked to re port to Coach Houck on the gym floor any weekday after 4 p. m. A physical fitness excuse to be obtained from the dispensary is required.

As of November 27 they have won two out of two games played. In descending order we find: barracks 13 and 37. represented by a mixed team fighting a second place tie with barnacks 37. These teams have each only had one game so they'-fannot De ignored as a threat to barracks 9 which has had the, opportunity to - play two to their one. The band, barracks 26, is in fourth place with a split score, of one'loss and one win.. Barracks 13 and 26 have each played one game and each has lost. In the cellar is barracks 22 with two losses out of two starts. It’s early, much too early, in the season’s competition to say that any one team has a decided ad vantage. But from the performan ces already recorded it seems that barracks 9 will again put up a good fight for-its current lead. Joe Tepsi'c, Guadalcanal hero,, has attained stardom in Iboth base ball and football at Penn State this year.
