PAGE FOUR Returnees, IM Champs Bolster Lion Mittmen The 1949 ring Lions received a shot of glucose in the arm when two former Blue and White battlers and two intramural champs of the recent IM boxing tourney reported to Coach Leo Houck at ringside Most promising-looking of the quartet is 011ie Wallace, a short Negro battler. Wallace thrilled a Rec Hall crowd in the finals of the IM ring tourney shortly be fore Christmas vacation when he completely outclassed his oppo nent with lightning-like upper cuts which hit their mark with cobra-speed and effectiveness. The short slugger, a native of Bethlehem, is working out daily to pair his weight down to 135 pounds. Coach Houck is strongly depending on him to fill the va cancy in that weight class. RETURNEE One of the Houckmen's regu lar 145-pounders during the 1946 mitt campaign, Stan Lachowski, is back after a stretch with Uncle Sam. The blonde battler looked impressive as a freshman before entering the service and it will be a nip -and-tuck battle between Take A Break From Studying For Those Finals For your convenience, from now until after the finals HOWARD will stay open until 3:00 A.M. each week-day morning and until 5:00 A.M.

Fogg Cancels Colgate Meet; Expected Snow Doesn't Show • The ski meet scheduled between Colgate and Penn State for tomorrow has been cancelled because of lack of snow. The cancella tion deprives residents and students of witnessing the first ski meet ever scheduled for State College.

Eagles Scare IM 'Team X' An up-and-down Golden Eagles quintet threw a scare into the high-flying Team X'ers when independent IM basketball ruled the Rec hall hardwoods Wednes day night. Uncovering a flashy point-mak er, Amos Bartoli, who dunked a total of 15 counters for his ev ening's work, the Eagles gave the bird to their favored opponent, rushing out to take a 14-8 first half lead. The party ran out in the sec ond half, as Team X revived. Shaking loose Reilly for 13 points, the "unknowners" roared final ly to a 26-21 win, their fourth with only one loss.

Both were treated over vacation for injuries suffered last season. Concerned over Norton's shoulder—as are thousands of other Nittany fans—we queried him about the success of his operation to correct a frayed shoulder tendon. His encourag ing reply was: "Dr. George Bennett, the surgeon (who treats Joe DiMag gio, etc,), said I'd be as fit as I ever was." Tests for Chuck A boxer who thrives on tough opposition is Lion Heavyweight Chuck Drazenovich, who'll face his share of same come boxing season. In addition to Western Mary land's Joe Corleto, who defeated the Draz last year, there'll be Syracuse's Marty Crandell. As his team tied Miama U. of Florida recently, Crandell took one highly-touted Arty Saey in stride by scoring a KO in the first round. It was the first time Saey, an ex-national champ, lost a collegiate dual meet and the first time he was ever KO'd. Crandell battles Drazenovich February 12 at Syracuse. Where Is It? The Daily Collegian, like some other campus institutions (we like to think of this rag as such), has quips about past staff mem bers which are bandied about about periodically. One concerns Dick Serge, last year's news editor whose type writer now feeds the Harrisburg Evening News. Back in '46 when someone announced at the Col legian banquet that Sarge was . to be sports co-editor the next semester, he arose and spoke humbly: "This is all very flattering, but please tell me: Where is Rec Hall?"
