TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1949 Barr Loses 4-1 Verdict in AAU Junior Finals Chambers, Barker Drop Decisions Penn State's Eastern Intercol legiate heavyweight wrestling king, Homer Barr, advanced to the finals of the Nittional Junior AAU meet at Clearfield Friday and Saturday, but was de cisioned, 4-1, by the veteran Carl Abell of Cleveland Central YMCA. Representing the Clearfield Ki wanis, the eventual team cham pion, Barr byed into the semi finals. He earned the right to grapple in the finals by throwing Hart Hursh, Bowling Green, in 1:42. In the finals, the Lion heavy nabbed the initial takedown. Abell, on the bottom position at the start of the second period, re versed the Nittany ace, and scored a near fall in the last canto. SCORING Individual scoring differed from collegiate tabulating. One point was awarded for a takedown, re verse or escape, while a near fall counted three points. Wally Chambers, Blue and White Jay-vee heavyweight, placed an automatic fourth in the 191-pound bracket. He lost via referee's decision to John Gib son, Navy, in the semi-final, and was defeated by Jack Piersol of Baltimore YMCA, 3-2, in the con solation run-off at that weight. Runner-up in the recent intra mural wrestling tournament at the College in the Independent 175-pound division, Bill Barker bowed out of the Junior AAU's in the preliminaries. MORGAN Ex-Penn Stat e heavyweight Bob Morgan captured f our t h place in Barr's class in the tour nament. Morgan was pinned by Abell in three minutes in the semi-finals. Accumulating 25 counters, the Clearfield Kiwanis Club won the team title for the second straight year. The Clearfielders could muster only one individual cham pion in Francis Forcey at 155 pounds, but piled up enough points on runner-up positions to enable them to edge the Ithaca, N. Y. YMCA by one tally. Michigan State and Cornell College (Iowa) tied for third with 16 points each, with Navy fifth with 14. Cornell College was the only team with two titlists. 1948 Titlists Penn State's golf team, coached by the 68-year-old Bob Ruther ford, Sr., last year won Eastern Intercollegiate honors.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA RAY HEDDERICK Gridders To Stress Offense hi Spring Duquesne Scrimmage With only seven days left in the Penn State spring football practice schedule, the Lions started to prepare, yesterday afternoon, for this Saturday's scrimmage with Duquesne. "We'll concentrate on offensive plays," said Assistant Coach Earle Edwards. Edwards has taken charge of the spring grid edition since the head coach, Joe Bedeck, is busy with the Nittany base ball team. "Naturally there isn't any scouting done before a scrim mage," continued Edwards, "so we'll just use the plays we've worked on so far this spring." IMPROVEMENT "The team has shown im provement in the last week," he said. "Ray Hedderick looked very good in the scrimmages. He passes the ball from center well and seems to have more confi dence on the defense," Coach Ed wards commented. Chuck Beatty, who was the Nittany varsity center last fall, hurt his shoulder last week and missed last Saturday's scrim mage. In the scrimmage, before• a Spring Week crowd of 500, John Smidansky caught two touch down passes. The Lion end caught a 25-yard aerial from John Chuckran and a jump pass from Fullback Herb Kurtz. Vince O'Bara tallied the e third marker with a 20-yard sprint, and a blocked kick accounted for the fourth score of the afternoon. FELBAUM Besides Hedderick, Coach Ed wards singled out Guard Fred Felbaum, End Jack Store r, Tackle Con Brown, plus the sophomore backs, O'Bara, Dough erty and Orsini, for praise in the spring practice sessions. "Almost everyone on what is now the first team looked pretty good this spring," he said. LITTLE JOE For A.A.

Alpha Gamma Rho-B remained unsullied in Leaque 12 by cll.- fcating Kappa Delta Rho-B, 15- 10 and 15-9.

Delta Upsilon-B continued to Pirates Sign Ex-Lion Stark Don Stark, outfielder who led the Lion baseball team in hitting the past two seasons, has been signed by a contract by the Pitts burgh Pirates. He has been as rzirned to the York White Roses of the Intei.state League (Class B). A product of the Wyoming Val ley, Stark led the Lion hitters in 1947 with a .385 average, and clubbed for .370 in '4B. Besides amassing the high e s t batting average, the young outfielder paced the team in virtually every hitting department. Stark followed in the footsteps of Joe Tepsic, ex-Lion outfielder who tried out with the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National League, being one of the better ex-Nit tany ballplayers performing on the diamond. Though small as ballplayers go, Stark was a long-ball, line-drive type hitter, equally adept at punching the ball through holes in the opposition's defense or blasting .pitches over outfielders' heads. * NOITAXALER COLLEGE GRILL Opposite P.O. on Beaver • Spelled backward.

Former Lion Gridder Searches Shoe Robber Have you seen anyone walking around lately wearing two un matched right shoes? Don't report him to the nearest sanitarium. See Larry Joe, foot ball ace, who has a special inter est in right shoes. Joe, a salesman for a local shoe store, reports that twelve sample shoes were taken from his car over the weekend. The shoes vary in size, style, and sex. Early in the evening, Joe checked his car, which was park ed in front of his Windcrest trail er, and thought one shoe box was missing. Later, however, Joe returned IM Badminton Play Begins; Handball Next Handball-doubles and badmin• lon-singles players are shaking out arm-kinks and loosening leg muscles for three-week tourna ments which open in Rec thi s week. Ninety-two badminton players, including 18 independents, and 39 handball teams, 31 of them fra ternity squads, will receive their schedules from the intramural office either today or tomorrow, announced Gene Bischoff, IM Dir. ector yesterday. OPENING Badminton will answer the opening gun at 7 p.m. tomorrow, with handball breaking into opening-night action at the same hour Thursday. The tournaments are slated to run through April 26 before championships are de cided. In both handball and badmin ton, separate tournaments will be provided for both fraternity and independent groups. Competition will be carried out through match play, with a match consisting of the best-of-three games. No of ficials will be assigned to cover matches; therefore participants will be expected to decide dis puted or close plays themselves. RULES Official rules apply for both sports with a few exceptions. In badminton, 15 points will consti= tute a game, while handball serv ice will be to alternate courts, and the team that first scores 21 points will be the winner of the game. Concerning "hindrances," players should keep in mind, the IM de partment warned, that an oppon ent must be given a fair oppor tunity to play the ball. and the car shelf was bare. Per haps, the confused party sought the mates to the shoes. Alas, he, not the shoes, was left with all rights. The shoes will be welcomed at the Student Union or at the trail er of Larry Joe.
