In Feature IM
Ron Coder, last year's 175-pound intramural boxing champion,
moved into the heavy Weight class and cleared his first hurdle, burly

while Hank Van Hallyn, Dave Conover, Skip Rebele and Don Wat
kins gained decision victories. , -.-
CODER HITS HARD
Coder, who won the 175-pound
title last year with a TKO vic
tory over Charles Vitabile, Theta
Xi, is unable to compete in the
light-heavyweight class under IM
rules. Although outweighed, the
track team pole vaulter and soc
cer goalie stung Yerkes, Sigma
.Pi repeatedly with a sharp left
and a trip-hammer right.
Coder started with a hard
right to the head in the first
round, which ended with• both
men swinging from the heels and
rocking each other with solid
Yerkes opened a cut in
Coder's nose in the second round,
but -for \ his trouble was sent
sprawling to the canvas from a
succession of thunderous right
and lefts and a final booming
right to the nose. Yerkes forced
the fighting in the final round,
two to the head and a stinging
but Coder stood him off a one
left jab.
De LAVAL SCORES
De Laval, Alpha Tau Omega,
hung up a TKO win over Phi
Gamma Delta's Dave Long in a
175-Pound fracas. Referee Glenn
Hawthorn stopped the bout after
45 seconds of the third round.
The winner was impressive from
the start, sending long to the floor
in the first from a left and right
to the head after answering the
bell with a crashing left to Long's
jaw. Long came back with,a
strong body attack in' the secod,
but De Laval stood off at long
range and jabbed away.
Biller, Sigma Nu, f ought
a game fight before bowing to
Van Hallyn, Delta Chi, in a 155-
pound battle. Apparently on top
all the way,.Billera and the crowd
'were stunned at the decision.
Conover, Delta Theta Sigma, de
feated Jim Axsom in the 145-
potiirid class, Rebele, Phi Gamma
Delta, decisioned Dick Evans,
Delta Tau Delta, in a 128-pound
battle, and Watkins, 121, Phi
Delta Theta .clubbed out a de
cision over Sigma Pi's Bud Fen
ton.

Report to Grois;
Boost Defense
CoaCh Elmer Gross is all set to
open his first season at the head
of Penn State's basketball team
Wednesday at Rec Hall against
Susquehanna U.
Just recently relieved of their
football obligations, Jack Storer
and Lloyd Aprim went, through
initial workouts with the cage
squad Wednesday night under
the watchful eyes of Gross and
John Egli, assistant coach. Both
seniors performed with John Law
ther's combine last year as re
serves and showed up well to
ward the end of the season:
Also ,reporting late were grid
ders Len Shephard and Joe Shu
mock, both sophomores.
According to Chuck Medlar,
team trainer, the squad is in ex
cellent shape. "The only handicap
we'll have is Storer's bandaged
hand, which was bruised during
the grid season, but that should
n't hinder him to 6 much."
STORER
Storer, himself, doesn't sound
too enthusiastic about the in
jured appendage. "I'm going to
keep coming to practice but I'll
have to go - easy and give my
hand time to heal. I'd like to play
in this first game, though."
Gross said last night that Storer
is almost sure to see some" action
Wednesday night.
The Nittany mentor plans to
outfit about 18 players for the
game, about six more than are
usually suited. "Usually we only
give out uniforms to 12 players
but this year there are so;'many
new prospects tos look over that
I'd like to give them 'all a
chance, if possible."
Gross appears optimistic over
chances of capturing his first
game as head Nittany cage coach.

Only Students
May Witness
Indoor Sports
For the third straight year,
only students will be admitted to
th e College's indoor athletic
events, according to Harold' R.
Gilbert, graduate manager of ath
letics.
The action is necessary because
Rec Hall seats only 5500 persons,
and the enrollment exceeds 10,-
000. Such" a plan. is in effect ,at
other universities, and was in
stituted here in 1947. when the
undergraduate enrollment far ex
ceeded the seating capacity.
An athletic fee is paid by each
student during registration • and
payment of this fee entitles him
to admittance to all home athletic
events. This is the primary reason
for limiting attendence to under
graduates, since the College is
obligated to grant admission after
the fee is paid.
