Ross, 205-pound gridman who saw lots of action last year for the Higginsmen, left Penn State at the end of the first semester to enter the University of Washing ton at Seattle, where his wife was employed in private business. They had been married in Dal las, Texas, after the Cotton Bowl game. In a letter to Prof. Lawrence Perez, his faculty adviser in the School of Engineering, Ross re ported that he was dissatisfied at Washington and had already with drawn from his classes. He'll re-enter college in June and be eligible for football in the Fall. His return will bolster the Lion line considerably. Coach Bob Hig gins indicated that he'd use Ross at either guard or tackle, depend ing on where he is needed most. ing the College meet records set by Barney Ewell in the 100- and 200-yard dashes. The hurdle event, another strong department on the Pitt line-up, has four competent tim ber toppers in its fold. Bill Raney, Clarence Doak, Eu gene Heide and Evan Kisick all excell in the high- and low-hurdle races. The Pittsburgh team won the shuttle-hurdle relay at the Penn Relays this Spring and the Panther quartet is expected to give Jim Gehrdes a fight for the number-one position.

Between the Lions Recently one of the economica professors at the University of Wisconsin called boxing "a moronic activity" and urged an immed iate investigation of the collegiate sport. A resolution was passed down to the athletic department and athletic board. It stated boxing's damaging effects on "mental and physical health, spectator behavior, and the function of boxing in maintaining and advancing the cultural standards of colleges." This investigation challenges intercollegiate boxing, its rules, its officials,, coaches and contestants. One of the country's leading columnists, Hugh Fullerton, Jr., once stated that in college boxing the chance is less to receive an injury than in collegiate football. In answer to the gentleman from Wisconsin, Carroll Champ lin, professor of education at the College, stated recently' at the annual Lion boxing banquet that collegiate boxing is here to stay. It is not a "moronic activity." In every college there are ele ments which are against boxing but their arguments are based on professional boxing. Said Professor Champlin, "Commercial pro fessional pugilism will have to clean houie." Boxing places the competitor •on his own 'and forces him to use rapid judgment. He gains self-assurance and he learns to take care of himself. Professor Champlin continued: "The boxer gains true manhood. He learns to remain cool, cunning and fearless. The character building benefits gained by boxing are too great to be lost." There -are many other values to be gained by the art of pugilism and this investigation offers the opportunity for colleg iate boxing to establish itself even stronger than it is today. The dean of collegiate boxing, the genial Lion mentor, Leo Houck, has-often expressed the necessity of boxing as a collegiate activity. Houck not only wants boxing on a collegiate level but strongly supports an organized and supervised program of boxing on the high school level. Houck has always stressed the importance of clean competi tion and upholds all the ideals of a good sportsman. His methods certainly merit praise and imitation. Penn State representatives who have stepped into the ring to win for the Lion have been taught clean sportsmanship, and we here do not consider boxing " a moronic activity." Thielmen Face Army Saturday After Losing Second Straight Coach Nick Thiel's lacrosse team dropped its second straight game Saturday afternoon to a hard-charging Syracuse ten, 9-5, but will attempt to crash the win column by tackling Army this week end on the Cadet's field. The Lions were trailing the Orange stickmen by a 5-4 score at halftime, but a second half spurt by Coach Roy Simmons' ten clinched the game. The Thielmen were held to a lone score in the last half, and that was notched in the third period. The tilt was played on a bare muddy field. Nevertheless, "Mud horse" John Finley accounted for four of the Nittanies' points, with Eddit Belfield tallying the other, Syracuse scored its final two goals in the last period. Leading by a 7-5 count, the Orange slow ed up its offensive tactics and waited for the Lion defense to open. With the defense pulled out, the Simmonsmen had open shots at the net. Sophomore Bill Fuller and Cody each scored three times for the victors. Lightfine, Starwald . and Archbold tallied once. The Blue and White stickmen challenge a powerful Army stick combination this Saturday. The Cadets surprised the lacrosse world by rolling over a previously unbeaten Maryland by a 10-1 score last Saturday.
