Mustangs Poll Four Places On Lion’s List of ‘Toughest’ By Tom Morgan Southern Methodist’s Mustangs romped off with lour places on the 1947 Penn State all-opponent eleven. This football Who’s Who was compiled this week from a Collegian survey of members of the Nittany Lion grid squad. The other seven posts were split among four teams, West Virgin ia. Navy and Temple each cop ing two and Colgate winning one. Hailed by some Lions as “un doubtedly the best tailback we faced all year,” SMU star Doak Walker won the praise of enough Nittany players to easily capture a first team berth on the list of top foes. His performance, how ever, was cited as “something less than spectacular” following a tremendous press build-up.” ANOTHER MUSTANG Joining Walker in the State all opponent backfield was driving Dick McKissack, SMU fullback, tabbed by the Lions as “a very hard, fast runner” and “difficult to pull down.” Another backfield post went to Colgate halfback Glen Treichler, whose sterling play in the Red Raider attack won Blue and White acclaim despite a lopsided 46-0 score. Phil Slosburg of Temple com pleted the first team backfield se lections. His work against State caused most Nittany gridmen to rate him “a heady ball player” and “one of the better backs we faced.” Virtually unanimous choices for the tackle slots were'Ed Kul akowski, bulwark of the West Virginia defense, and Dick Shim shak, brilliant Navy linesman. Both were described as “tough and alert opponents.” GUARDS ARE TOUGH Tn contrast, the Lions were hard-pressed to decide on guards.

Ends posed a knotty problem for the Higginsmen. Pitt’s pair of ends, Leo Skladany and Bill Me- Peak was rated generally by the Lions as the best tandem com bination on one team, but yielded the top-all-opponent spots to SMU’s captain Sid Halliday, an all-round terminal, and Temple’s John Rogers. Dick Scott, Navy All-Ameri can, received the first center po sition over West Virginia’s Leo Benjamin, although opinion was well divided here. !M Court Tourney Enters Final Rounds Undisputed leaders have been established in five of the six f.-a ternitv leagues and six of the seven independent leagues as the IM basketball season heads into the home stretch.

THE DAILY COLLFGTAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Student Opposes Teacher As... Lion Boxers Battle Bisons At 7 o’clock tomorrow night in Rec Hall, when Coach .Leo Houck lifts the cover on the 1948 edition of the "Fighting Lions,’’ he will be sending his boxers against a team which is coached by one of his ex-ring stars, Billy Richards. Richards who captained the Lion boxers during the 1943 season will be gunning for his second consecutive triumph when his mittmen enter the ring tomorrow. The “Boxing Bisons” from Lewisburg opened their 18th season last Saturday against American U. with a decisive 7-1 victory. Having six lettermen available from last year’s squad which won two. lost two and tied one, Coach Richards is sending a veteran studded outfit into the ring to oppose the Houekmnen. Forming the backbone of the Bison setuad are two fistic feath erweights, Harry Fagan and Ray Hood. Fagan, who tips the scales at the U'B-pcund mark, is only 5’6” tall, but according to Rich ards “packs a mighty wallop” in his mitts. Hood, a 125-pounder from Ridley Township, was a standout on last year’s Orange and Black boxing aggregation.

A 29-year-old war veteran, Doug Fleming, is Richards’ most likely starter in the 165 class. Fleming won his first fight this year by a TKO. Boasting excep tional hitting power in the heav ier weight classes, Coach Rich ards named big Hal Swanson, a 205-pound fullback on Bucknell’s football team last autumn, as his starter in the unlimited weight class.. Coach Houck’s mittmen are nu eleused around Captain Jackie Tighe, last year’s 165-pound East ern Intercollegiate champ, and John Benglian, a 130-pounder, Tighe opened a cut on his nose last week and was a doubtful starter until last night. The vet eran Lion boxer is fighting in the 155-pound class “this year instead of the 165-pound division. Sitting out last year’s fistic sea son because of a back injury, vet eran John Benglian, Coach Houck’s choice in the 130-pound class, faces his first intercollegiate opponent since he won the EIBA crown two year s ago at Wes* Point. John Turcaso received the nod in the featherweight class edging out Fred Smith for starting hon ors. Surprise sensation of the week,’ Curtis Crooks, and “Gen tleman” Jim Cassidy are vying for starting berths in the 135- pound class. Crooks, a rangy, de ceptive fighter, will most likely be Houck’s choice tomorrow night. Jack sheehe, 145_p ound e r, whom Houck terms his most im proved fighter, has won a starting berth against the Bucknellians. The I'6's-pound starter is as yet a tossup—John Slus-ser, veteran of last season, and Hal Howard, a returnee from the ’44 team, are the strongest contenders. Hard-punching Paul Smith, a newcomer to the Blue and White squad this year, is pressing Pat nasts will attempt to eciual the Eopnoteh accomplishments of last year’s team, which was crowned Eastern Intercollegiate champion. Since only three men may be entered in each event of a dual meet. Coach Wettstone faces the task of narrowing the field in the horizontal bar. rone climb, paral lel bars, rings and tumbling events, all of which now have more than three Lion contenders.
