Rutgers Tests Str
By Murray Seaman
Ten men will accompany Swim
Coach Bill Gutteron to Rutgers
today to face the best talent that
Eastern seaboard colleges have to
offer in the Eastern Collegiate
Swim Tournament. However, Gut
teron is at present certain of only
eight starters.
OUTSTANDING
The eight selected have been
outstanding for the Lions through
out the seven-meet schedule. Cap
tain Bill Schildmacher, Vic Lynch,
Cass Borowy and John McGrory
make up the unit to compete in
the dashes and distance relays.
Schildmacher, Lynch and Borowy
are the dash men and McGrory
the top 220 man. All four have set
records in home waters this sea
son. Cal Folmsbee, with a six and
one dual meet record, will be try
ing to better his second place '4B
performance.
Rod Waters, top backstroke
man, Ken Conrad and Carl Bruck

squad. The remaining two will be

in his foot and after losing his first collegiate bout noticed that his
foot was swollen.
This injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season. But
in 1947, Sheehe came back to win three and lose three bouts, and
then go to the semi-finals in the 1948 1.8. A. tourney before losing
to Basil Miragliotta, of Virginia.
"My best collegiate fight," said the hard punching boxer, "was
the battle against Clarence Tannel of the Coast Guard. He was the
1.8. A. 135-pound champ in 1946 and moved up to 145 for the tourna
ment the following year.
"He took the first round, but I won the second and third and
won the fight. The thing that hurts most in any fight," he com
mented, "isn't the jabs and punches of the other man; it's the thought
of losing and letting the team and the school down."
Pointing to a well-defined shiner over his right eye, Sheehe
said that he hardly felt the blow landed by Eidelfan of Virginia last
Saturday since he came through with a tie for the Lion boxers.
"Training is very important in a boxer's schedule," he com
mented. "When I came out for boxing this year I weighed 163
pounds, and now I'm down to 145. A boxer, who is in good physical
condition, has a better than average chance of beating a man who
may know more, but who is in poorer shape."
"Chuck Davey of Michigan State was the best boxer I ever
fought," he said. "When he saw that my eye was still bruised from
the previous week's fight, he kept his jabs away from that part of
my face." Davey KO'd Jack in •35 of the second round.
Speaking of this weekend's fights, Sheehe, who has a record of
one win, one tie and four losses, was optimistic. Two of his fights
were lost by only a scant margin, and Saturday's battle at Virginia
was termed a questionable decision.
"The referee is too busy breaking clinches and keeping out of
the audience's way to accurately call a close fight," Sheehe com
mented. "This weekend there will be two judges along with the ref
handling the decisions and this system should eliminate some of the
doubt in calling a fight."
After graduation this spring, Sheehe plans to go into the hotel
business with his father and all of Jack's post-grad boxing plans
will be confined to the audience side of the ropes.

pound NCAA champion from Wisconsin; Pete Monfore of Army, the
outstanding boxer of last year's EIBA tournament at Virginia.
His two victories last year were scored against Michigan State's
football quarterback, George Smith, and against John Sgariglio of
Western Maryland
Working hard all summer and eating steak and apples ("I'd
rather eat apples than anything else," PQ says), he was in topflight
shape when the current mitt campaign opened.

Heavily favored will be the host

About these the head mentor said,

Matmen Duel
In EIWA Bouts
By Ed Watson
At 1 p.m. today, Penn State's
wrestling team gets into the thick
of the Eastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association tournament
at Ithaca, N. Y.
Two changes have been made
in the mat line-up by Coach
Charlie Speidel, and Speidel's
season-long nemesis, 01' Man In
jury, was responsible for one of
them.
Sophomore Bill 'Rusty' Santel
received a bad back sprain at
Navy, and his name has been
nlaced on the enlarging damage
list along with regulars Johnny
Reese and Jim Maurey.
CORMAN AT 155
Bill Corman will replace Santel
at 155 pounds. Corman started
the season at 175 pounds, but
dropped down to the 165-pound
class against Navy. In today's pre
liminaries, he will see action for
the first time in the 155-pound
division.
Veteran Bob Hetrick returns to
his usual post at 165, as a result
of Corman's drop in weights.
Captain Georgie Schautz, win
ner of two and loser of a one
point decision to Lehigh's Mike
Filipos, will vie for honors in the
121-pound bracket.
Unbeaten Jack Dreibelbis and
Don Arbuckle, who sports a two
and-one record, will wrestle at
128 and 136 pounds, respectively,
while Larry Shallcross is sched
uled for duty at 145 pounds. Shall
cross, who has filled in capably
for Maurey, lost his first start,
but has since won three straight.
Bob Markle, whose season's log
is one win - and three losses, will
fight at the 175-pound position,
with undefeated Homer Barr the
choice in the unlimited class.
TEAM FAVORITES
Team favorites for the 45th an
nual EIWA tourney are Lehigh,
the defending champion• Syra
cuse and Navy. Franklin and
Marshall's chances of copping the
team trophy dropped sharply this
week when two Diplomat regu
lars, Stan Mousetis and Frank
Tinker, were injured. Mousetis

ers. Army's rugged light-heavy
weight, Pete Monfore, outstand
ing boxer at last season's EIBA
tourney, owns a 3-0 record to
date.
His biggest challenge will come
from the Lion's most improved
squad member, Jack Bolger. The
hard punching right-hander suf
fered only one defeat this season,
an early-season setback to Mon
fore in Rec. Hall.
Since then the Altoona mitter
has come a long way and Is ex
pected to make a strong bid for
the title. Another contender will
be undefeated Cliff Sisler of
Catholic U. The tally book shows
a 3-0-1 standing for Sisler.
Not to be overlooked is Ray
Fine, dynamite hitting Syracuse
captain. An ear injury has pla
gued the lanky Orange boxer for
the most part of the season and
though he's been held to a lone
win this year he will offer stout
opposition in the 175 division.
Lamont Atwell (1-0-1) or Abe
Levin (0-3-0) will represent
Coach Al York's Virginian's.

Bonsai! Leads Gym Entrants
Nine Nittany Lion gymnasts will vie for individual Eastern
Intercollegiate titles against representatives from the other four
members of the Eastern Intercollegiate Gym Conference tomorrow
in Philadelphia.
Led by Captain Bill Bonsall, who is entered in every event but
the rope climb, the Nittanymen,
along with Coach Gene Wett
stone, will entrain today for the
Quaker City.
MEADE FAVORED
Defending titlist Bill Meade is
favored to retain his tumbling
championship although fierce op
position is expect epd from
Temple's two aces, Bill McKin
ney and Bill Marcus, as well as
teammate Rudy Valentino.
Bonsall carried the major Nit
tany hopes for any other indiVi
dual titles at the Philadelphia
events. The Lion captain is rat
ed a chance to emerge on top Ai
both the horizontal bar and all
around competition.
Ray Stout, last year's all
round winner, Joel Baba, out
standing Syracuse star, and an
other Templar. Wally Hayes, will
be Bonsall's chief threats to sup
remacy in the all-around title
fight,
Mike Kurowski is the only oth
•r Blue and White gymnast en
ered in the all-around competi
ion.
SIDE HORSE
The side horse event, won last
year by Penn State graduate
Steve Green, is rated a toss-up
bet wee n outstanding Syracuse
sophomore, Gene Rabbit, and the
won the 128-pound crown last
year.
Syracuse appears to be "the
team to beat." The Orange boast
three potential champions in Ken
Hunte, - 155-pounder; defending
champion Pas Perri, 165-pounder,
and 175-pound George Gebhardt,
team captain.
Referring to the Blue and
White's chances in the tourney,
Coach Speidel said, "As far as
we're concerned, we never had a
chance all year. We just went
along on a prayer. and our pray
er was answered in some cases."

HEAVYWEIGHTS
The heavyweight skirmishing
will be a wide open affair with
Marty Crandell of Syracuse, Bill
Kellum of Army, and Joe Cor
leto of Western Maryland among
the aspirants to Chuck Drazeno
vich's shaky throne.
The giant Lion heavyweight
has found EIBA wars tough this
year, copping one decision while
losing one, to Syracuse's Marty
Crandell. His bouts with Corlleto
and Kellum ended in draws.
Crandell, who launched his
varsity career with a knockout
over former NCAA champ Art
Saey of Miami, packs his 195
pounds in a six-foot frame. He
decisioned Drazenovich at Syra
cuse a week after he was defeated
by Catholic's Chuck Rohr.
Rohr will not enter the Rec Nall
tourney this weekend. Hi s re
placement, Frank Strasburger, is
a newcomer to the ring with no
previous dual meet experience.
A vetera n of three previous
EIBA tourneys, Western Mary
land's Joe Corleto will be another
top-flight contender for Chuck
Drazenovich's title.
Bill Kellum, lanky Army
heavy, decisioned Corleto this
year after he held Drazenovich to
a draw in Rec Hall.
Saturday's EIBA heavyweight
finale should be a hectic one.
Little is expected from Virginia's
Allen Smith (0-3-0) or his alter
nate Joe Leonard (0-0-0).
Pairings of tomorrow's quarter
finals were held at the Nittany
Lion Inn last night and appear on
page one of this issue of the Daily
Collegian.

FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1949
By Red Roth
Owl's Joe Berenato. Bonsall,
Benner and Kurowski will re
present the Lions in that event.
Al Postich, Al Christie, and
"Fuzzy" Lomady are entered in
the rope-climbing competition,
with Postich rated the best chance
to place, for the Wettstonemen.
Constantly improving, Postich
last week recorded a 4.3 time
against Temple, his best time of
the year.
P-BARS
The Cadets' Jack Brunson and
Temple's Stout should provide a
close show on the parallel bars
with Baba and Bonsall serious
threats in that event. Meade and
Joe Mirenzi will also vie for the
P-bar tale.
Figured to be the most wide
open event at this year's Eastern
Intercollegiates is the flying rings.
Any one of six or seven men are
given a chance to place first. Best
bets ar e National Champion
Hayes of Temple; Louis Jamison
of the Military Academy, last
year's Eastern champion; Bonsall;
Snyder of Navy, and Baba of
Syracuse. Two of the entrants,
Hayes and Baba, have already
beaten Bonsall in dual competi
tion.

much to choose between the two
of them. They battle each other
nip and tuck every week. And
sometimes the one that loses in
the weekly workouts would be
the better boy in competition that
weekend."
lack Sheehe---Senior
On Jack Sheehe, 145-pounder
who is one of several departing
Lion seniors, Houck declared:
"Sheehe's a courageous boy, al
though a little mechanical at
times. I know he'll give a good
account of himself in a tough
weight class. Likely as not, he'll
surprise someone."
Pat Heims---Sophomore
In the 155-pound class, Houck
said there was still uncertainty
about whom he'd use, Pat Heims
or Jim Maloney, then thought a
moment and chose one:
"Well, it'll probably be Helms.
He boxed well against Miragliotta
down at Virginia last week. Helms
shows flashes of form now and
then that are capable of 'upris
ing."
Paul Smith---Junior
Moving up toward the big boys,
Leo Houck—a celebrated fighter
in. his day—praised "PQ" Smith,
his 165er:
"Smith has a lot of physical ad
vantage over many boys. He's tall.
rangy and has a good left hand.
If he uses it the way he should, be
can keep a man off balance all the
time. He ought to faro pretty
well."
Jack Bolger---Junior
Whep we mentioned Jack Bol
ger at 175 pounds, Houck prompt
ly tabbed him "the most improved
boy I have around here." Houck
explained:
"In his first bout last year as a
Jayvee, I had to stop the bout with
Marty Crandall of Syracuse. You'd
think Bolger'd become discour
aged when he was hit pretty hard
in that fight. But it made him all
the more determined to become a
good boxer."
Chuck Drazenovich---Jr.
Concerning the Draz, his heavy
weight entry, Hohck said:
"If he continues as he started
last Saturday at Virginia. he'll be
pretty hard to stop and will go far.
Drazenovich has all the qualifica
tions—he's big, powerful and fast.
and he hits pretty well."
We thanked the Penn State box
ing mentor for his comments and
beat a well-trodden path back to
the Daily Collegian office with a
wiser viewpoint on Lion leather
flingers.
