WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1949 Between The Lions With Elliot Krone Sports Editor Enter the IM Boxers Tonight the "for-the-g 1 o r y of-lhe-house" boys, the intra mural boxers, will start throw ing leather at each other with intent to render each other un conscious for the count of ten. But thanks to the efficient working of the Intramural de partment, this year’s array of slugfests will carry a note of re serve and safety. Seeing that the boxing ring jammed into one corner of Rec Hall inade quate for the large crowds who followed the sport, Gene Bischoff and his assistant Dutch Sykes purchased a new ring and install ed it in the northeast corner of the building.. Now instead of standing prac tically in the ring, the audience will be able to sit in the bal cony of Rec' Hall to watch the proceedings* More Protection Another innovation introduced this season is the use of headgears for the competitors. Acting box ing coach Eddie Sulkowski, Who will help the IM department with the arrangements, has provided the headgears from the varsity stock. - With', the . new headgears, there should be fewer forfeits this year than in previous years," said Sulkowski. "A headgear gives a man a sense of security and it does help to rediice head injuries." CHalmp Counts Officiating for the bouts will be a former Eastern and National Collegiate boxing champion, Glenn Hawthorne. • Glenn, who captured the 130 pound champ ionship of the . country in 1947, is an. instructor 'in agriculture economics at the College. Major H a 1 p i n and Mickey Bergstein will judge the bouts. Although regulation collegiate meets last' for nine minutes, the intramural rounds will be cut down, to three two minute flur ries. “I’vfe yet to have a boxer com plain that the rounds are too short,” quipped Sykes. And since the ..IM boxers rarely have the conditioning necessary to go at full tilt for the six minutes, the final bell usually comes as a wel come' note for the weary com batants. Seventeen bduls are schedul ed for tonight with action slat ed to start at 5 p.m. Cadets Only Rival To End Unbeaten Only the mighty Cadets from Army of Penn State’s nine 1949 football opponents rolled through the year’s schedule undefeated. The West Pointers piled onto nine opponents, trouncing eight of them unmercifully and squeak ing past the University of Penn sylvania, 14-13. Army wound up its undefeated season last Saturday, sinking the Navy, 38-0. BOSTON COLLEGE Boston College, an also-ran with a 4-won, 4-lost, and 1-tied record, surged to a tremendous 76-0 triumph over Holy Cross, but West Virginia fell to Mary land, 47-7, in activity of other Penn State rivals. Next to Army, Villanova, who defeated State in the opener here; 27-6, has the. best record. The Main Liners dropped only one contest, to Tulsa, 21-19. They hit their highest peak of the year in the final game, pasting North Carolina State, 46-21. The records. VlllanoT*.

The llrst match Is scheduled tor 5 o'clock. Sophs Impress Lacrosse Coach A large turnout, which includ ed many outstanding prospects, and only two days of bad weather highlighted coach Nick Thiel’s five-week • fall lacrosse practice. According to Thiel next year’s team will be made up mostly of sophomores and juniors, with the largest number of sophomores on the squad since the war. GOOD WEATHER “Luckily,” Thiel said, “we had good weather all the way through, which let us get a good look at all the boys trying out for the squall.” Thiel and his assistants noted several outstanding prospects from the freshman centers and the jayvee squad. High on the list of prospective starters for this, coming season will be attackmen Bud Wolfram, 118 pound “midget” of the squad, and Jim Reed, division high scorer at Swarthmore center this season. Tony Eagle, Jim Fulton, Jack Wilcox, Paul Reffensberg, Jay Stone, , and Aspluomelh Barr got a good look in the midfield and- Vance Scout, A 1 Seither, and Milo Kosanovlch were bright spots on defense. Phil Benedetti, Bob Koons, and Dale Schaeffer looked good at the net. " JOE DRAZ One man whom Thiel is looking forward to seeing is Joe Drazeno vich, an outstanding guard on the Nittany grid team. Joe played for the first time last season, and Thiel expects him to make a place for himself on the squad come springtime. Thiel considers Bob Louis, re turning co-captain,, one of the best midfielders he has ever coached. Ed Belfield, the other co-captain, is a seasoned veteran and one of the best team men on the squad. LACK EXPERIENCE “Experience will be lacking," Thiel said, “but we’ll have good, though inexperienced, depth. If the weather is with us when we begin practicing again, extra practice sessions will give the boys a chance to get the feel of working together .as a unit; then the polishing' will start.” Thiel expects to have plenty of trouble from his opponehts this season, especially from Navy, al ways-powerful Virginia, and Syracuse.
