Another Lion tank star in to day's meet is Cal Folifishee. Un defeated in diving competition this season, he will be seeking his fifth consecutive triumph in that event. The Blue and White have won from Dickinson College and have dropped decisions to Pitt, Temple, Franklin and Marshall, and Syra cuse in past meets. Lions, Temple Clash Today; Eastern Gym Title at Stake With the Eastern team diadem at stake, the Nittany gym squad will match skills with Temple—its number one foe of the year—in Philadelphia this aflternoon. Impressed with the critical nature of today's match, Lion Coach Gene Wettstone declared: "I'm counting on our slamming the rope climb event and win.. ning our share of the first, second and third places in other events to offset Temple's excellent team balance and give us the victory." For the first time this season, he plans to have Steve Greene climb the rope to add strength in that department. Climbing regu larly last season, Greene chalked up consistent times of about 4.0 seconds; he was National Ama teur Athletic Union rope climb champion in 1944, 1945 and 1946. Since both teams are studded with many of the East's stalwart performers, today's meet will serve as a virtual prevue to the championships in indiv idu al events at West Point March 13. INDIVIDUAL BATTLES Keen individual battles will oc cur in several events; namely, among State's Bill Meade and Tcmple's Bob McKinney and Bob Stout in tumbling, between Joe Bernath of Temple and the Lions' Greene on the side horse, and be tween the Blue and White's Ray Sorensen and Temple's Stout in all-around competition. Stout, a terrific performer who has won his three specialties in all meets to date, is present East ern Intercollegiate champion on the horizontal bar, parallel bars, tumbling and all-around events. Rated a toss-up, today's ccotest pits together two gymnastic Titans of the Bast, both of which enter this last dual meet sporting unmarred records. Temple vanquished Navy, Army, Germantow n YMCA, Dela ware University and West Ches ter State Teachers College, while the Nittanymen subdued Minne_ sota, Syracuse, Army and Navy. COMPARATIVE SCORES Indicative of the even match expected are scores against com mon opponents. State defeated Army and Navy, and Temple tri umphed over Army, all by the same count, 55-41; score of the Owls' win over Navy was 59-37.

Goodman. one of the Nittany Lions' most colorful light heavyweight boxers, won Na tional acclaim by annexing the National 11.5-pound boxing crown as well as Eastern laurels in that weight class. Tonight after the Penn State- Virginia boxing exhibition an other great Lion fistic figure will be honored. He will receive the Frank J. Goodman Trophy. Good man personally will present the award which is given annually to the Senior who has done the most to promote and further boxing at the Nittany institution.

AT PENN STATE STAN ROTH smokes CHESTERFIELDS Stan says: 'I find Chesterfields a cooler burning cigurebte. They oiler "umplete smoking satisfaction, rrdlY a cigarette of distinction." A nation-wide survey shows Chesterfields are TOPS with College Students from coast to-coast. Watch on the Shrine The quality of boxing referees, as evidpnced in the last two home contests of the Houckmen, was anything but enviable, according to participants and coaches, in ad dition to a multitude of observers. The third man in the ring is chosen for all home bouts of members of the Eastern Intercol legiate Boxing Association, prior to the season's inauguration, with the member teams accepting one of the three names submitted. Leo Houck's chief objection to recent referees is that they fail to live up to what they instruct the boxers before the bout. "They tell the boys to break immediately fol lowing a clinch and then take a step backward before hitting again; but when they don't, the referees are often guilty of riot enforcing the separation soon enough," comments Leo. This can be of serious nature, if one trusting participant follows the rules, while the other swings a haymaker. Another citicism is the umpires' failures to inflict penalty points on such a blow; this was especially noticeable in the Michigan State frays. George Makris, coach of the Spartans, was outspoken in his condemnation of Saturday night's referee, Joe McGiligan. In a dis cussion with Houck, Makris stated that never again would a team of his enter a bout if Mc- Guigan were the referee. IN THE FUTURE Whenever Penn State en tertains Michigan State in the fu ture Makris wants the Blue and White to send him a list of three possible referees so that he may select the one he wants. Amidst his complaining over the scoring of several of the bouts, Makris did come up with several worthwhile suggestions. He men tioned his desire to see boxing judged in a similar ,manner to wrestling, which eliminates much of the subjective evaluation. This is far from feasible, but an alternate suggestion, of having a referee and two judges, seems more valid. The EIBA tourney, which rotates three refs in the ring, finds the two who are not at the moment ,active, a part of the judging staff. The winner is se lected from the three ballots' con census. Additional expense would be Fencers Close Season Against Favored Cornell In what will be their last team meet of the season, the Nittanv fencers cross blades today with a slightly favored Big Red team from Cornell. The Blue and White squad left for Ithaca at 12:30 o'clock yesterday. Dave Ozarow, who has aczount ed for most of the Lions' Points during the season, will head the foil team along with Harry Mc- Carty and Bob Hollis. Rolf Wald. Arthur Ward. and Floyd ELerts will fight epee while the sabre team will start Bob Thompsor‘ Jim Stewart. and Paul Younkin. By Ted Rubin involved, but it seems a worth• while suggestion. The crowning blow to the Spartan coach came when ref eree McGuigan, in the middle of the evening's bouts, came to his corner and asked him (Makris) if he thought he were doing all right. In the Sheehe-Tierney fray, McGuigan, from a neutral corner, considered how he should mark the third round, while the two contestants waited impatiently, along with the audience, for the result. When Paul "I can bop you from behind the back" Smith fought his namesake, George, an oddity occurred in which the ref eree failed to let the boxers know that the Light was over. While McGuigan retired to his corner, the Smith boys continued to make it hot for each other. In the Syracuse contests, other incidents occurred which should prompt installation of addi tional judges. Mr. Henry Lamar, in addition to his poor enforce ment of breaks, prominently showed a psychological effect in several of his judgments. Roundly booed for the verdict in the Benglian-AuClair draw, Lamarr made amends by giving Curt Crooks a lop-sided 10-7 ad vantage in the first round of the next encounter. When Syracuse objected at this bout's conclusion, the referee pacified the Orange by awarding Jack Sheehe's ponent a one-sided score in the following tussle. Refereeing is a tough position, and for his $25 plus expenses for an evening, a man in gray is not overpaid. Handling the two con testants in the ring is a job in itself; a middleman is often lim ited in his ability to evaluate a round with a full perspective. This column feels that the ref eree's vote should only form one third of the decision.
