Evans Rzturns; Boxers
Tr! to Squeeze Orange
Fortified by the return of Dave Evans, aggressive 125-pound
ring artist who performed for Leo Houck during the '43 mitt cam
paign, the boxing Lions are tapering off their training pace in
preparation for their toughest assignment to date, the slugging duel
against the Orangemen at Syracuse tomorrow.
Evans, a Lion regular during
hometown of last season's cap
tain, Jackie Tighe. A slight in
jury kept Evans out of the ring
for the first two mitt encounters
but the blond battler is ready
now to seek his first victory when
he squares off against Jim Huba
of Syracuse.
Six of the battlers who par
ticipated in the 5 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 trounc
ing of Army last weekend will
be on hand for the sound of the
opening gong in the State Fair
Coliseum at Syracuse.
NEW STARTERS
Evans replaces Fred Smith at
125 pounds while Lou Guthrie,
left - jabbing 135-pounder who
won his inaugural bout against
Western Maryland, replaces 011ie
Wallace at 135 pounds.
In his toughest test to date, the
Lions' EIBA defending titlist,
Chuck Drazenovich, meets Syr
acuse's outstanding sophomore
heavy, Marty Crandell.
Crandell first gained national
recognition when he scored a KO
against former national champ
Art Saey at Miami. His victory
over West Point's Bill Kellum
gives him a slight edge over the
Brownsville Bombardier.
Coach Simmons, of the Or
ange, believes Crandell can
easily become the next NCAA
champ because of his terrific co
ordination. Like Drazenovich, he
is .a solid puncher with either
hand and can readily absorb a
punch.
EIBA PREVIEW
In the contest, which might
easily be a preview of the EIBA
finals this year, Drazenovich lays
an undefeated skein of eight
straight fights on the line.
Lion ringleader John Benglian
should have little trouble mak
ing it three .straight for the year
when he squares off against
Charles Pechette, a clever ring
artist.
TOUGH TASK
Paul Smith draws the tough
est assignment of the evening
when he meets Syracuse's EIBA
champ, Ji m Rollier. Rollier's
crowd-pleasing style. and aggres
sive type of attack make him a
slight favorite over the much
improved Smith.
Power-punching Julie Levine
steps into the ring against Jack
Bolger, of the Lions, in the light
heavy division, while Lou Guth
rie encounters Al Sauerwine at
135 pounds.
Offensive-m i n d e d Jim Ma
loney should annex his third
triumph of the current campaign
when he clashes with Chuck
Riggolioso. Fight results to date
make the Nittany slugger a top
heavy favorite. Riggolioso
dropped a decision to Army's
Ken Herring, a battler whom
THE DAILY CO
the war, hails from Scranton, the
Maloney decisloned last Satur
day.
At 145 pounds the Lions' Jack
Sheehe meets Tim Cur le y.
Curley is an excellent fighter
whose right glove earned him a
runner-up spot in last year's
Eastern tour ne y at Virginia.
Sheehe has improved greatly
since the beginning of the sea
son and a victory in this weight
class might mean a team win for
the Lions.
The Nittany Realm
Erie's reputation as an incubator for swimmers of the A-1
variety is being upheld well these days in the Vale of Mount Nit
tany in the form of Bill Schildmacher, the Lions' swimming captain.
It was through the efforts of Lenny Diehl, erstwhile Blue and
White swimming mentor, that Bill came to Penn State last year.
Schildmacher was one of the mainstays of last season's mediocre
tank unit.
In this season's opener against Cornell, he set a new record for
varsity swimmers in the 100-yard freestyle when he clipped six
tenths of a second off the old record as he took first place with a
55.8 time.
Much of the success of a winning athlete can be attributed to
the guidance of his tutor. "Any swimming records that I have broken
here at State or any that I break in the future I
attribute to the guiding hand of Coach Bill Gut
teron," says Bill. "Gutteron is one of the finest
coaches I have ever worked with; he has cut 4
seconds off my time in the 100 since last year.
Under his wing Penn State is on the way up in
swimming in the East."
WATER BABY
Bill, who has always lived in Erie, was a water
baby from the day he was old enough to keep his
. head above the aqua in the bathtub. With the best
. . facilities available because his father was the
' owner of a sports store, Bill received his first en
couragement for aquatic success from Ed Thomas,
• • - former baskteball coach at Erie Academy.
.4 Under the tutelage of Bill Hollinger, NAAU
40-yard freestyle champ, Schildmacher learned
the fundamentals of the American crawl. But it is water polo that
plays an early part of Erie's annual water sport program and it was
there that Bill found a second home in the pool. He was a forward
on two high school water polo teams which copped the city cham
pionship for Academy High.
Although a top-flight performer now in the 50- and 100-yard
freestyle, he wasn't always the first across the finish line. Often
during his high school races he was the "bridesmaid" finishing
second behind Jim Duke, Michigan State's ace-in-the-hole in swim
circles.
After graduation Bill traveled 15 miles to the south and enrolled
at Edinboro State Teachers College where he was the Red Raiders'
star swimming performer before entering the Navy for a four-year
stretch.
The Navy soon spied Bill's ability to handle himself in the
water so he was asigned to naval underwater demolition training
in Florida. "One day while our team (18 men) was swimming to a
beach," Bill relates, "I missed the pickup boat on the way back. The
ruling was that if you missed the pickup run to swim out to the
five-mile buoy to be picked up later.
"I'm sure happy that Bill came here," says Nittany Coach Bill
Gutteron. "He's a great captain and sportsman."

LEO HOUCK
Mermen Annex Second,
Top Dickinson, 47-28
With three of their star performers setting new pool records,
Penn State's swimming team overwhelmed an outclassed Dickinson
College team, 47-28, Wednesday at Carlisle.
For the second time this year Captain Bill Schildmacher broke
an existing record in his special
time it was in his own pool and a
eign grounds and was joined by
a teammate, Cass Borowy.
The pair finished in a dead heat
in 56.9 seconds, slow time for
Schildmacher who recorded a 55.5
time while breaking the Penn
State record.
FOLMSBEE
Cal Folmsbee was the other
record-setting Nittany contestant
as he rolled up an impressive
92.43 score to sweep the fancy
diving event.
This victory ran Cal's winning
streak to four straight for the
current season and left his dual
meet record still unblemished. His
partner, Rudy Valentino, took
third-place honors.
Dickinson led at the start with
victories in the 300-yard medley
relay and the 220-yard free-style.
The Lions quickly countered by
