Jacobs, Lancaster Score
Second Night Victories
Two Penn State athletes, football-playing George Jacobs and
track star Wilbert Lancaster, shared the spotlight as intramural
boxing moved into its second night before more than 1000 in Rec
Hall yesterday. The speedy Lancaster, Alpha Phi Alpha, clubbed
his way to a clear-cut win in the 145 division, while Jacobs, Sigma
Phi Epsilon, came from behind to mark up a victory in the 165-
pound class; '
Other winners were Skip
Reider, Phi Kappa Psi; Dick
James, Phi Kappa Sigma; George
Schenck, Phi Sigma Kaopa; Jim
Phillips, Theta Chi; Buhl Winter,
Sigma Phi Epsilon; Mike Deßone,
Delta Upsilon, and A 1 Secor, Sig
ma Pi.
Jacobs stormed back in the sec
ond and third rounds to take a
close decision from Lambda Chi
Alpha’s Ed Mitchell, a quick
striking, polished performer who
made a game scrao of the contest
all the w;ay. Mitchell opened
sharply, driving home a one-two
combination and flailing away
with an overhand left and right
to Jacobs’ head.
Mitchell started strong in the
second round with a pair of hard
left smashes. Jacobs countered
with, a left, they traded hard lefts,
and Jacobs brought home a
thumping right hand at the bell.
It was , Mitchell' with three hard
lefts at the start of the final round,
but Jacobs countered with a right.
They fought it out toe to toe, trad
ing hard left hards at the finish
LANCASTER STARTS FAST
The speedy Lancaster started
fast against Jim Ewing, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, and never stopped,
although both men were tiring at
the final bell. Leather flew in all
directions in the first round, Lan
caster doing most of the connect
ing and sending Ewing to the
canvas for no count.
Lancaster used his body to -good
advantage in the second and third
frames, and continued his ,ma
chinegun-like tactics, drawing
blood from Ewing’s mouth and
nose in the second round. The
sprint-star used some sharp foot
work in the final round and slow
ed down the rallying Ewing with
a hard left to the m’d—’^'on.
SECOR, DEBONE,
Secor and Deßone were the
nlher winners in the 165-pound
division. Secor registered a close
decision over Hank Stewart, Delte
Ghi. The shorter Stewart opened
with a sharp body attack to carry
the first round, but Secor gave an
indication of what was to come
when he landed a jolting long
right hand at the bell. They boxed
at long range through a slow
middle round, but Secor swatted
his shorter opponent with, long
range rights and lefts to the head
in the finale.
Although bothered by Peyton’s
flicking left, Deßone was in con
trol all the way as he bested Dick
Peyton. Omega Psi Phi. Peyton
went down with Depone on top
of him after the latter had con
nected with a stinging series of
lefts and rights in the second. De-
Bone took complete charge in the;
third, l"nrting nlmnoi' nt ’”'11.
WINTER PLEASES
A hard-bitter, Winter got the
nod over Bill Benson. Phi Gamma
Delta, in another crowd-nleaser
in the 355-pound section. Winter
brought home right cross in an
otherwise even first round, and
came back fighting in the second
stanza with two lefts and a right
and left to the head. A hard left
and a sharp right by Winter and
a rocking right and left to the
hea'd by Winter at the final bell
staggered Benson.
Phillips triumnhed over Wally
Scbumacker. Pi Kappa Alpha, in
a rollicking 145-pound clash, while
Reider outpointed Ed Shihadeh.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and James
bested Sigma Epsilon’s Reds Clark
in the 135-pound divisions.

wallop for a man his weight, came
from behind to beat Bob Giron.
Delta Upsilon, in a 128-pound
tussle.

Boxers Strong in Heavy Class:
Losses Big in Lightweight Ranks
Amidst a beehive of activity in the the south-west corner of
Rec Hall, Acting-Boxing Tutor Ed Sulkowski is sending his ring
aspirants through daily sparring sessions ip anticipation of “one of
our better seasons,” as he puts it.
. We have a good nucleus to build from this year” the stocky
Lion ring boss comments,” Chuck Draz, P. Q. Smith and Jack Bolger
are back. They’ll give us top,— = ; g
fighting strength in the upper
weight classes.”
•M-**k uc k Drazenovich, tha giant
Nittany football blocking back,

for 16-ounce dynamite ladden
gloves.
Selected last season to captain
the 1950 ring unit, the Browns
ville' Bombarder copped the East
ern Intercollegiate Heavyweight
crown the past two seasons.
If he reaches his peak this year,
he should be a sure clinch to re
peat for the third time. •
TALENT, COMPETITION
“We 'have an abundance of tal
ent this year,” says Sulkowski,
but that’s good, there is a lot of
competition.”
■Hard hit in the lower weight
classes Lou Guthrie at .135
pounds being the only returning
letterman in the first four weight
divisions—Sulkowski is spending
most of his attention watching
the'little mites battle it out.
George Kelly, a former wrestler
and Roy Durant have caught the
coache’s fancy in the 125-pound
division while Sophomore John
Albarino and Harry Papachara
lambous are the most likely pros
pects in the 135 division.
INTR^MURALS
Papacharalambous is currently
battling in the Intramural tourna
ment. “I plan to spend quite a
bit of time with the intramurals
this year,” says Sulkowski,”
there’s a good chance that some
good prospects might turn up
there.”
Guthrie most likely will drop
down to 130-pounds to fill the
gap left vacant by last year’s
captain, southpaw Johnny Beng-

NSYL.VANIA,
Sophs Must Fill -Gaps
Left in Lion Gym Team
Take seasoned gymnasts like ring-man Bill Bonsall, tumbler
Bill Meade, and rope-climber Wendell Lomady off a team with one
swish of a cap and gown and want do you have?
Penn State Gym Coach Gene Wettstone shakes his head' and
comments, “We have an inexperienced team. We have a season -Of
experimentation ahead of us, then maybe we can round this year’s
squad into a unit with champion
ship potential by 1950-’51.”
Wettstone should know. He’s
been working the gymhasts in
Rec Hall since the first of Octo
ber, five days a week, two hours
a day. And the opening dual
meet is still almost two months
away.
EIGHT LETTERMEN REMAIN
. When Bonsall swung off to a
coaching job at West Virginia,'
Meade cart-wheeled to a similar
position at North Carolina Uni
versity, and Lomady put aside
his rope for graduate books, Wett
stone was left with only eight
lettermen.
Mike Kurowski, a senior and
topnotch performer on side horse,
horizontal bafcs and parallel bars,
will be the workhorse of the
squad. There’s Dave Benner, a
junior, for sidehorse work, A 1
Christie and Sal Postich, juniors,
for rope climbing, Joe Mirenzi,
senior, on the parallel bars, Jesse
Fehl,- junior and Bill Hamel, sen
ior, on the rings, and Rudy Val
entino, junior, to tumble. .
N SOPHS FILL IN
That means Wettstone has not
more than two lettermen for each
event, and in the cases of 1 hori
zontal bar 1 and tumbling he is
left with one. Sophomores must
fill the gaps.
Wettstone thinks several of the
■newcomers are going to develop
into first-rate performers. Don
Kump, • sidehorse, Bill. Humphrey,
horizontal bar and parallel' bars,
Bill. Hendrickson, rope climb and
rings, Dick Spiese, parallel bars,
and Bill Sopper, Howard Mason
and Bob Kreidler, tumbling, - all
have impressed the coach in early
drills.
