TUESDAY. JANUARY. 20. 1948
WATCH ON THE SHRINE
Delving into the controversial issue of the Penn State style of
basketball, a lew compliments should be paid to veteran coach Jim
La'wther for the job he's perlormhig with his team.
It’s only natural lor the slow, deliberate oilense 0 f the Blue
and Wlhi.te eourtmen to negatively impress those used to a faster,
more diazzling type of attack as used by Rhode Island State, Western
quintets, the play-for-pay boys, and others.
With only a fair record of five wins against three losses, the
Nittanymen don’t rate anywhere near the nation’s leaders, but act
ing in the role of giant killers, the I*awthermen were able to sub
due high scoring Colgate and the timber-toppers from'West Virginia.
The flamed sliding zone defense demands ultimate conditioning
by the players in addition to alertness and thorough familiarity with
the fundamentals. Oif late, the backboard play has shown consider
able improvement, and edging in toward the hoop by an opponent
from the corner has lessened after the lesson taught by B<u.cknell.
Only the brilliant passing by Mountaineers Beach, Byrd, Carroll and
others could pierce this particular
part of the defence.
Jack Biery not only is the lead,
ins' scorer, but is also one of ire
kev men in grabbing the ball cfl
the opponents’ backboard. The
deft forward has helped
ip taking up the slack left by the
departure of last year’s ace re
boundmen. Teaming with scrap
n.v Milt Simon. Biery presents to
Lion opposition a formidable
front line, very ■cro"’"’-' of
standing play and competitive
spirit.
A fault still glaring, is the lax
ity shown by nearly all the play
ers in failing to follow up many
That Opening Boxing Match
Spectators generally agreed Saturday night that relations be
tween Penn State and Bucknell were cemented even more tightly by
the sportsmanlike behavior of Bison coach Billy Richards.
His repeated congratulations to Lion victors following each bout,
passive acceptance of the much discussed Cassidy-Piory verdict, stop
ping of the two bouts w-hich ended in TKO’s at apropos times all
Richards laughingly said, Here’s
the bov who robbed us.” and
threw his arm around Jim and
hugged him. Countered Cassidy.
“I never thought T'd won that
one. I even went over to the ref
and thanked him.” F : -'hards com
mended Cassidy on his improve
ment over last year and Fiory
agreed that Jim was hard to hit.
When complimented on his ad
mirable actions. Richards replied.
‘‘l can’t help but act that way;
look who I learned under.” Said
Leo of his former pupil, -‘Bill was
one .of the nicest fellows T cvc
coached. He’s a great compeitor.”
contributed to a very pleasant
feeling with which College stu
dents left Rec Hall.
Sentiment expressed by the
Lewisburg boxer for their coach
in the dressing room after the
program signified that Billy’s
popularity with his boys is here,
too, at a peak. They love fighting
under him, and as Bill recipro
cally said, “I like those boys so
much that I don’t want to see
any one of them get hurt.”
Jim Cassidy dropped into the
Bucknell dressing room to shake
hands again with his opponent.

Successfully inaugurating their
1948 ring season. Coach Houck’s
ringmen copped a 5-3 decision ov
er Bucknell’s Boxing Bisons Sat
rdiy night.
Main treat for the estimated
crowd of 4200 was "Killer” Jackie
Tighe’s TKO over Pete Robinson,
Bison 155-pounder. After only 40
seconds had elapsed. Tighe land
ed a, vicious right to Robinson’s
law sending the Bucknellian to
the canvas and the referee im
mediately stopped the contest.
Facing A 1 Marshall, a rejuven
ated Pat Conlon displayed master
ful ring orm to TKO his oppon
ent after only 15 seconds has pass
ed in the second round. The vet
eran Conlon sent Marshall to the
canvas twice before Bison coach
Billy Richards stopped the bou|.
Determined to regain the East
ern laurels won in 1946, John
Benalian won a clean cut decision
in the 130-pound division. Cool
and poised throughout the fight.
Benglian’s right was particularly
effective and and his lefts to the
body quickly tired his game op
ponent.
In the featherweight class,
Bucknell’s Ray Hood decisioned
•Tohn Turcaso, while Jim Cassidy.
Lion 135-pounder, won a hairline
decision over Bill Fiory. In the
165-pound tussle, Doug Fleming
decisioned Paul Smith, in a fist.'C
duel which looked more like a
wrestling match than a boxing
exhibition, and Jack Sheehe, Lion
145-pounder, displayed excellent
f oxing skill to decision Bucknell’s
Quentin Walters.
