State Quintet Downs
Carnegie Tech, 34-27
Paced by Milt Simon and Wally Hatkevich, Penn State’s
basketball five tripped Carnegie Tech on Saturday evening,
34-27. The Nittany Lions tripped the high-flying Tech all
freshman quintet with their smooth zone defense on the
Smoky city court.
Tech held a one point lead at the end of the first quarter,
but State went ahead and kept in front throughout the re
maining part of the game. It was Milt Simon that led the
Lions to victory, as he was the only man able to break
through the Skibo’s defense, dropping 12 points through the
hoops. '
With cuts around his eye
keeping him off the court for
part of the game, Maxie Han
num, Tech’s high-scoring forward,
was able to keep his early season
scoring average up and maintain
the- lead as high point-getter of
■the. district. He matched Simon
by getting 12 for the team which
is coached by his father.
Maxie Hannum, a V-12 trainee
at State until last June,- was on.
the Nittany basketball squad and
started on' the lacrosse eleven in
the spring. 'Hannum was dischar
ged this fall and enrolled at Car
negie Tech! in' the freshman class.
The tight zone defense of the
Lions kept the Carnegians down
to three field goals the first half,
j.e-11, and then kept their lead to
the'final gun.
Lacking ‘in offensive punch of
a high-powered aggregation State
was very effective with their sli
ding defense. The Lawther zone
tends to keep the scoring down
and make a tighter- game.
Wally Hatkevich trailed Simon
in scoring by collecting nine while,
center Herb Currie counted for
seven.
Tomorrow evening State takes
on a strong Bucknell quintet
from Lewisburg. The tap-off will
be in Recreation Hall at 8. o’-
clock. The Bisons have wins over
Rutgers and Lehigh.

THE COLLEGIAN
State Sports
Spotlight
By LEO KORNFELD
With nary a drift of a subject
for this week’s issue, we decided
to spend an afternoon with Coach
Leo Houck’s boxing enthusiasts
to see just what constitutes their
training.
Therefore, promptly at 3:30 Fr l
day afternoon, we ambled over
to the ring in Rec Hall, took off
our coat, and made ourself iat
home. Many of the boxers had
not arrived on the floor, chiefly
because they were doing their
■laps (running exercise) on the
boards above.
While waiting for the 'boys to
show up, we talked with Coach
Houck about the qualifications of
a good boxer and his training re
quirements.

“If a boy follows the prescribed
training requirements faithfully,
and is cool and relaxed in the
ring, he’ll do all right,” was the
mentor’s sage advice.
Between 4 and'4:3o there was a
general hubbub around the ring.
One boxer wanted to get his
hands taped; another was looking
for a pair of gloves so he could
hit a punching bag; some were
hitting the heavy, others the light
bags; and others coming and go
ing added to the noisy atmosphere.

Finally, when most of the boys
had finished the necessary train
ing of running, • skipping rope,
shadow boxing, an dhitting the
bags, Coaoh 'Houck called for dif
ferent pairings to spar in two, 2-
minute rounds. There was a
scurrying of feet, a first manager’s
shout. Then the putting on 1 of head
■gears, gloves and mouthpieces
and the boys climbed into the
ring.
By this time quite a crowd of
onlookers had gathered about the
ring. At opposite ends stood assis
tant managers, who acted as se
conds to the contestants. One of
the exalted first managers, with
■a stopwatch in his hand, acted as
timekeeper.
To us, it appeared as just
another cycle. Boys climbing in,
and boys climbing out of the ring.'
The first bout of the afternoon
was between two light, heavy
weights who, after they had strug
gled through their stint of upper
cuts and roundhouses, left jabs
and right hooks, made way for
..the next pair, 155-pounders, who
in turn gave way to 121-pounders,
and so on.
Coach Demonstrates
In the middle of the first round
between two hard-hitting middle
weights, Coach Houck interfered
and stepped in between the two
battlers.
“That’s not the way,” the calm,
quiet-voiced mentor said. “You
hold your hands out before you,
and when you jab with your left
don’t step back • 'but. follow
through.” And forthwith the coach
illustrated his points.
Throughout the course of the
bouts, the coach interfered to give
the contestants a few pointers.
During a bout of 145-pounders
one of the battlers who had just
come out for the team, kept los
ing his balance after throwing a
few punches and was open for
some telling blows by his oppon
ent.
And so ended our afternoon at
the ring. By 5:30 the last bout was

All-American Soccer Team
John Hamilton, V-12 student
and one of the mainstays on Coach
Bill Jeffrey’s soccer squad for
two seasons was the only Lion
hooter to gain first team recog
nition in the 1945 All-American
soccer selections made by the
National Soccer Coaches Associa
tion of America.
Hamilton, a former student at
Girard collegee, began his soccer
career there. After' enlisting in
the navy - he was assigned to the
Navy unit at The College. Under
the tutelage of Coach Jeffrey he
filled the left half position and
gained a first string position on
the mythical All-American eleven.
For the first lime in the history
of soccer at Penn State, three
freshmen were given honorable
mention in the listings by the
Coaches Association. Charley Gar
cia of Bethlehem, Jerry Cooper of
Lower Merion and Harry Little of
Dover, standouts on the Lion
squad, were honored in the selec
tions.
Lion Centers
Cop Honors
A "football tradition at Penn
State is the long line of distin
guished centers who have per
formed on the Lion gridiron. The
tradition started with “Mother”
Dunn, first Nittany player to 1 win
all-America rating.
Dunn earned this distinction in
1908 and was followed in this
position by stand-outs like the late
Larry Conover, Bas Gray, Chuck
Gherundolo, Leon Gajecki, Lou
Palazzi, Johnny Baker, “Marty”
Martella, and others.
Marty still has another year at
Penn State and hopes to be out of
the service in time to enroll for
the March term. He’s looking for
ward to his last season as a col
legiate gridder.
Already on the campus, and
anxious to uphold the tradition of
fine centers, is Aliquippa’s Bron
co Kosanovich. Bronco, a question
mark during summer drills, im
proved rapidly, and at the sea
son’s end was rated one of. the
East’s better centers. He won
mention on five different all-star
teams and was chosen for the
East-West game by Colgate’s
Andy .Kerr.
run off,- most of the crowd had
dispersed, and the boys who had
finished their ringwork had taken
showers and were already in'
street clothes. We felt that it was
time for us to be leaving too, but
not before a parting moral.

Coach Jeffrey has built up an
enviable reputation as far as
coaching All-Americans is con
cerned. In the last 20 years he
has placed 32 men on the All-
American soccer teams. Last year
it was another V-12’er, Eugene
Grabner, pint-sized goalie who
upheld the Penn State tradition of
placing a man on the All-Ameri
can selections.
