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.

IM Boxing
Intramural boxing will start
tonight with 17 bouts sched
uled for the Rec Hall ring,
located in the northeast corner
of the building. 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. '
