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

ute Manager of Athletics at Col

snow for the meet to be held here.

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

SPORTS RDITOR
"Fit as Ever"
Negley Norton, next year's foot
ball co-captain, and Joe Colone,
his predecessor, have joined a
growing list of Nittany Lions
making treks to Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore. 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?"
From the Morg(ue)
For the first time in five
years, there are no married

Penn State football team. . .
