FRED SCHAUS West Virginia 2 Mounties on 'All' Team Ernie Vandeweghe, Colgate's great all-American center named on first, second and third colle giate all-star squads of Collier's, Look and A.P., respectively, is the unanimous choice of Penn State's varsity basketball players for all-opponent honors. Vandeweghe was chosen as the outstanding cager opposing the Lions this season. With Ernie selected along with Fred Schaus of West Virginia, it marked the second time in two consecutive years that the stellar duo have been chosen on the Lions' annual all opponent first team. Selections made by virtually the whole 1948-'49 Nittany Lion outfit found three teams, Syra cuse, Pitt and Temple, combining exactly half of the 18 athletes se lected from ten opposing teams 3 APIECE The Or a n g e, Panthers and Owls each placed three athletes, with West Virginia, Colgate and Georgetown earning two posts.

It was Brett who set a new Rec Hall individual mark by pocketing 25 points the past season.

Main hope to wear a national crown is Penn State's captain, 130-pound John Benglian. Only one boxer, Al Hollingsworth of Virginia, this season was able to conquer .the ring-wise Benglian. A return bout 'might, be in the making since the EIBA title winner, Hollingsworth, will com pete at East Lansing. .HOUCK . COMMENTS : "I think Benglian can decision Hollingsworth," said the veteran Leo Houck yesterday, "he'll have to box differently from the way he did at Flee Hall, but I think John can win if the two meet again." Lion 165-pounder Paul Smith and 175-pounder Jack Bolger are the other two Nittanymen mak ing the trek to Michigan. Lion 155-pound contestant Pat Helms and 145-pound Frank Gross are furnishing the opposi tion for the two ringmen in the daily Rec Hall sparing sessions. "Bolger is the most impressive boy I have," Houck commented while the light-heavy was going through his training paces, "he's come a long way this season and I expect great things from him next year." The only contender to decision Bolger this season, the present light-heavy weight king Pete Monfore of Army will not com pete in the NCAA's, since Army does not send representatives to the tournament, Bolger has a chance to win a title, according to Houck. "Paul (Smith) also looks good," Houck continued, "he has a good left and if he uses it like he should, he'll go places." Houck concluded. Lion Gridders To Scrimmage Assistant Coach Earle Ed wards will display the almost seniorless Penn State football team in an informal scrimmage on the New Beaver practice field at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Performers of .last year's squad like John Smidansky, Vince O'Bara and Joe Sarabok will be featured in the workout which will serve as a preview of the first regular scrimmage game against Duquesne April 9.

USE COLLEGIAN CLASSIFIEDS IMPRESSIVE FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1949 etween • - The Lions WNiika".A By Tom Morgan SPORTS EDITOR More on Penn Exigencies of newspaper make up squeezed us out of yesterday's issue just when we were warm ing up to our subject. In Wednes day's Daily Collegian, we deplor ed the fact that Penn and Penn State don't clash annually on the football field. Why don't they? George Munger, Penn's head football coach, is said to favor a long - tern Penn-Penn State contract instead of the present hit-or-miss method of -gridiron meetings every four or five years. Munger has never beat ten Penn ' State while tutoring the Quakers, and he probably figures a long series would sway the chances of winning more to his •side, or at least permit some thing closer to a 50-50 split in games won. Munger has declared publicly that Penn would be glad to play Penn State annually, but he point ed out an obstacle that prevents such an arrangement. The catch, he insisted, is that Penn wants the State game as an opener each season, while the Nittany Lions think it should fall in the "big game" category. The Lions would play Penn, he said, late in No vember. Gilbert's View At Penn State, who should know about this but Harold "Ike" Gilbert, graduate mana ger of athletics who, in consul tation with the Board of Ath letic Control, draws up sche dules. "Ike" insists that the idea of Penn wanting a long-term con tract is news to him. He also scoffs at the ' big game" stuff. "In the first place," "Ike" ob served, "neither the Penn State coaches nor the Board of Con- trol nor I consider one game as big and another as minor. We're trying to schedule all major games, subject of course to the possibility that we can't get to gether with teams we'd like on certain dates." This latter provision, he implied, was one thing that blocked re lease of next season's football slate until after several of our oppo nents had published theirs. "In the second place," he con tinued. "we are not holding out for a Novembet game with Penn." "Ilce,". who has been in this business for many years, can re call one time when Penn offered to play Penn State early in the season. "Then." he said, "I re fused a September game with Penn on the same grounds that I turned down a similar game with Notre Dame the same year. Either would have been played before school was in session." Ike's Plan Incidentally, Gilbert, who works years ahead on Lion football sche duling, is now molding six Penn State gridiron cards, those of 50 through '55. (In '55 the College celebrates its 100th anniversary.) But, returning to the meat of this, Gilbert left us the impres sion that he understands Penn football policy no more than we I do as a fan. If "Ike" had his way, Penn, Pitt and Penn State—the three logical contenders to the football crown Continued on page five
