'AGE FOUR Passers, Boxers Match Wares Here Tomorrow Pitt Five Boosts Morale By Setting 2 Records Pittsburgh's Panthers will furnish the opposition for Penn State's basketballers in Rec Hall tomorrow night, capping a double-. header in which Acting Coach Ed Sulkowski's boxing team will make its second home stand. If there's one thing the Jungle Cats from Western Pennsylvania can't stomach it is to see their arch Nittany rivals surpass them in anything, be it football, baseball or basketball. Penn State rooters left Rec Hall Wednesday night crowing over the exploits of one Marty Costa, who had just dunked 32 points to set an all-time Lion record. Yesterday morning, they were deflated by discovering that Captain George McCrossin had registered 35 pointS the same night, a new Pitt standard. SET TEAM RECORD What's more, in de f eating Grove City, 84 to 51, Coach Doc Carlson's cagers also established a new team record. Pitt's passers have been a dis appointment to their fans so far this season, compiling only two wins against five defeats, but Coach Elmer Gross realizes that in this traditional clash compara tive figures can be tossed to the winds. ' • Carlson's "Ice-cream eaters" have lost "King" Sammy David and rugged Dodo Canterna, who between them scored 692 points last year when the Panthers won 12 and lost 13. He still has, how ever, veterans McCrossin, foot ball star Lou Cecconi, Mike Be lich and George Hromanik. In winning Wednesday night, Carlson juggled his lineup. It could be that he has come up with a hot combination. The vic tory also restored Pittsburgh morale, which was at low ebb following their dismal 62-42 loss to Carnegie Tech last Wednes day. Cecconi, 5-foot 6-inch senior floor man (another great athlete from Donora), and Bob Yurko can be expected to start at for ward. Center will be manned• by either Bill Brehm or George Rad sevich, one of the tallest men on the team at 6-feet 3-inches. John Kendrick, hard-working sopho more, and McCrossin make up the remainder of the starting team at guard. L.

'Did you participate in any extra-curricular activit ie s in schdol," he was asked by the in terviewer. "Yes,"' Tubby replied, "I was .on the boxing team, earned' a varsity, letter too." Few in- 'the audience really caught the sarcasam of his an swer, , for Tubby, who has long been passed on to the outside world as one of Penn State's five-letter athletes (Steve Hamas being the other one) actually only received four varsity em blems in one year. The versatile Nittany athlete, during the 'war era, earned his varsity 'S' in football, soccer, ice hockey and track. He did participate in inter collegiate boxing meets but fail ed to receive a letter. Recently Harold "Ike" Gilbert graduate manager of athletics, approached Tubby and told him "We're going to award you an honorary letter to keep things straight."

In the case of Martin Favero Costa, whose 32 points set an all-time Penn State basketball high point against American U. Wednesday night, it was a rush call to his girl in Pittsburgh. Contacted by telephone almost 2 hours afer the completion of the game, Costa, the only man in recent Nittany history ever to surpass the 30 mark in a col legiate court game, was admit tedly tired, although he still had a tinge of elation in his voice. He was asked whether he rea lized how close to a record he was. "I didn't have any idea how many points I had at any time during the second half—some body told me at halftime that I had 16 points .but I didn't think anything of it." Marty explained that he didn't think he had set a record and that he didn't know about it un til somebody told him so in the shower room. "I heard someone yell 'Just one more, Marty' toward the end of the game. I didn't even (Continued on page seven) Attempt To Break °j tinboaten Eninepts: The unbeaten.
