Veteran Smith
Rejoins Boxers
Paul Smith, 136-pound Lion
boxing veteran and runner-up in
that division in the Eastern Inter
collegiates last year, has returned
to the College after a practice
teaching course at Johnstown High
School and will resume training
immediately after the Christmas
vacation.
Smith, who was captain of the
team last year, was not the only
encouraging bit of new s to Coach
Houck, Vaughn Stapleton, who
split the 165-pound berth with
Navy trainee Eddie Davies last
year, rejoined the team last week
and is participating in daily work
cuts.
With Smith and Stapleton back
as strong contenders for varsity
berths, Coach-Houck now has all
but last year’s 127 pounder and
heavyweight in the fold. Vying
again for positions on theteam are
Navy trainee Bill Cramer, 121-
pounds; Navy trainee Joe Bondi,
145-pounds; Jack Seitchick, 155-
pounds; and Nick Ranieri, light
heavyweight.
Strongest competition Smith will
have to face in the 136-pound
class will come from a former
Golden Gloves runner-up, John
Benglian. An X-01, Benglian look
ed very good in practice bouts,
according to the • Lion mentor.
Other contenders for the position
are Roger Kress and Navy trainee
Bill Trisler.
Stapleton, who appeared in five
bouts: last year, will get competi
tion chiefly from Bill Christmas
and Jim, Scott.
Keenest rivalry wil probably
show itself for the 145-pound
berth, with no less than seven
candidates competing. Chief
among are two veterans,
Bondi and Jim Cassidy, member
of the ’4l Lions. Their rivals are
Lee Eisenhart. Bob Novack. Ted
Ashgy, Bill Heagy, and Navy
trainee Ed Spillane.
A strong battle looms when eli
minations for the 155-pound berth
are held. Seitchick, who gave
good accounts of himself in his
few varsity fights last year, will
have a fight on his hands in Stan
Lachowski, another X-G-I who
looked very good in sparring
matches, according to Coach
Houck. However, Herald Fah
ringer, 145-pound Wililamsport
High School champ, another
promising contender.
Cramer, 121-pound veteran, will
get a strong bid from Ray Polan
sky. In the 127-pound division,
however, Dick White is the only
likely candidate.

Gym Nucleus
At this early stage the outlook
for the Lion gym team looks en
couraging, according to Coach
Eugene Wettstone, who plans to
build his team around his four
best all-around performers —Walt
Glover, Steve Greene, Hal Frey,
and Warren Neiger.
One encouraging feature is
Stan Wirtshafter’s work on the
ropes. Wirtshafter, just back from
the Army Air Corps, with Greene
and NROTC Ed Hobart should
give Penn State another strong
rope climbing trio.' For top honors
in the event the coach thinks that
it will be a close battle between
Wirtshafter and Greene.
NROTC Tim Petroff, tumbler,
and Ray Lee, on the Flying rings,
are the individual star performers

Carl P. Schott, dean of School of
Physical Education and Athletics
at the College, was recently elect
ed president of the United States
Intercollegiate Lacrosse Associa
tion. Dean Schott, elected for a
two-year term, is the first non
lacrosse player ever to hold this
position in the history of the as
sociation.
for one event. Lee, a former Lion
gymnast, has just been discharged
from the Army Air Corps.
One of the most promising new
comers is Walt Glover, a sopho
more, who rates first on the hori
zontal bars and stands an even,
chance -with Hal Frey on the par
allel bars. Veteran gymast Hal
Frey’s tumbling, skill on the fly
ing rings and parallel bars still
stands out as the best effort of any
man on the squad.
The Lion gymnasts-will face
Navy here on February 9 in their
first meet.

In Navy Basketball Game
Barracks 37, runner up for three
weeks in the Navy basketball
league, toppled Barracks 9, 40-18
Wednesday evening to take over
the lead position. This was the
first game played .between 9 and
37. Previously each had four wins
to their credit.
The scoring attack of Barracks
37 was paced by Cutter and Wag
oner, while Cloud was higth scor
er for the losers. At half-time the
victors held a lead of 24 to 5. At
no time in the game did Barracks
9 threaten the hopes of the team
from 37.
l?ver since the opening of the
series, Barracks 9 held a constant
lead over the other competitors.
The ppset Wednesday night
proves again that past records do
not count too heavily when pre
viously unmatched teams meet for
the first time on the court. •
