thee! A Ski Meet
"If at first you don't succeed,
try, try again." the skiing team
might very well say after the
ISU meet at Snow Ridge. New
York, last weekend. After months
of practice without a meet the
Lions finally tasted competition.
The results of the meet are
still in doubt, but Coach Sherman
Fogg said that the skiers did not
do too well as a team.

STATE COLLEGE LAUNDERETTE
210 W. COLLEGE AVE.
By ED WATSON
this season, the men from Anna
polis were flattened by both
Michigan and Lehigh.
Last Saturday, the Nittanies
wrapped up win number five and
got back in the victory column
by bombarding Army's grapplers,
29-5, in a tilt at West Point, N.Y.
Racking up four falls, the Lion
wrestlers grabbed an early lead
and were never in trouble. The
only loss was suffered in the 165-
pound class when Bill Santel de
faulted to the West Pointers' Dean
Mulder at the end of the second
period. Mulder, at 165 pounds for
the first time this season, was
leading by 4-0 when the bout wits
stopped. Santel apparently suf
fered an injury when he was
taken down shortly after the
match got underway.
Fall wins were recorded by Don
and Captain Jim Maurey, Mike
Rubino and Homer Barr. Don
Maurey was ahead of. Army's
Dick Wasson, 8-3, when he caught
the . Cadet in a half nelson and
crotch in 4:35.
FIFTH WINS
Captain Jim Maurey wasted
little time with Corwin Mitchell
in the 145-pound diadem. Maurey
got a takedown quickly ana then
caught Mitchell in a cradle in 1:57.
Both Maurey's scored their fifth
wins in 'six starts.
• Rubino, Blue and White 175-
pounder, experienced some diffi
culty with Cadet Al Weyand in
the first period, but Rubino re
versed Weyand after the second
frame got underway and threw
the Army grappler in 3:46 with
a headlock.
Using a half nelson and body
press, heavyweight Homer 3arr
glided to his 13th straight dual
meet win by scoring an imprei
sive fall win over Bennie Davis,
Cadet football star, in 5:25. Barr
thus chalked up his fifth fall
triumph of the season. The Nit
tany heavy was leading Davis
by a 4-0 count when the pin
occured.
Johnny Reese, Jack Dreibelbis
and Cec Irvin garnered decision
victories from their Army foes.
Reese tucked away his fourth win
by a 6-0 score from Sam Nichol
son at 121 pounds.
Dreibelbis, in his , first start of
the season, kept his dual meet
slate clean by out-lasting Pat
Brian, 8-3, in the 128-pound divi
sion. Dreibelbis, who won four
consecutive bouts in 1949, tallied
two reverses, a takedown and
time advantage to Brian's escape
^nd reverse.
The 155-pound Irvin matched
strength with the veteran Philo
Lange and walked off the mat
with , a 6-3 win. Lange could not
cope with Irvin's leg tactics.

Will Lead Badgers ....
Boxers Lose to Army;
Meet Wisconsin Friday
Just two days of pra s ctice remain before Acting Coach Ed Sul-
Icowski takes his charges to Wisconsin, for a dual meet with the
Badgers on Friday. Saturday, an underdog Army boxing team upset
;he Lions up on the banks of the Hudson, as they slugged out a
c.se 4 1 / 2 -3 1 / 2 decision over the invading Nittanies.
In the card's finale, Chuck Drazenovich looked every bit a
champion as the bro,so shouldered
Brownsville Bomber jabbed out a
decisive victory over Army's
heavy, Bill Kellum. .
The lanky Cadet, who last year
drew with the Draz in a Rec Hall
dual meet, couldn't solve the
countering . left of Drazenovich
which caught Kellum time and
time again.
The Draz was cool as he work
ed his way to his fourth triumph
in five starts this year. He copped
three 10-9 rounds from Kellum.
175 POUND JFIGHT
Another thrilling•bout was that
staged by Jack Bolger and Pete
Monfore in the 175 division.
Monf ore, who had decisioned
Bolger three times last year,
found himself behind by a point
after the first round. Both fought
on even terms in the second
canto.
Knowing that the third and la . st
round would tell the tale in the
final tabulation, each fought
fiercely. Suddenly out of nowhere
the Cadet light-heavy landed a
couple of smashing blows, good
enough to earn him a one point
victory over Bolger.
In winning his third decision of
the season, 145-pounder Frank
Gross carried the fight all the
way. Although he started slowly,
feeling out his opponent, the ag
gresive Gross looked much im
proved in the last two rounds as
he won easily.
Lou Koszarek, the hard-punch
ing 155 pounder who dropped but
one• decision this year, that to a
NCAA ' champ, continued on his
winning ways as• he carried The
fight to his Cadet opponent.
Philadelphia
11 Buildings,
Ogontz School and lOgontz
Junior College for
.girls, located
in Abington township near Phila
delphia, celebrated its centen
nial year by going out of busi
ness and presenting itself .to the

1850, consists of 50 acres of
ground and 11' buildings.
The deed transfering owner
ship to the College was recorded

cording to Wayne Herkness,

KOSZAREK WINS
Winning every round, Koszarek
displayed a jolting left that had
his opponent's head bobbing like
a cork. Before •Koszarek had de
pended on a power right to gain
his victories, but against Army
a left jab was just what the'doc
tor ordered.
John Hanby started matters off
by drawing in the opening bout,
although some of the fans thought
that •the Penn Stater had copped
a hair-line decision, the referee
ruled the bout even.
SURPRISE
In a hotly contested slug duel
pound J6hn Albarano dropped
from the undefeated ranks when
Cadet John Cunningham took the
decision. Albarano seemed off
form and absorbed/ left jabs. on
numerous occasions as he dropped
three straight rounds.
For the second.. straight week,
Bob Keller, Lion 165-pound re
presentative kissed the canvass
for keeps in the second round.
Again it was, a blow "out of rio
where" 'that sent Keller down for
the count.
In a hotly contested slub duel,
the 130-pound Harry Papacharal
ambous dropped a close one. Both
Stan Scott and the Pap threw a
lot of leather for three rounds. At
the finish the score card showed
a draw, but Referee. Billy Taylor
subtracted a point from the Pap's
score for illegal punching.
Only two days of practice re
main before the Nittanies again
hit the road. This time Acting
Coach Ed Sulkowski takes his
charges for a western jaunt to
Wisconsin •for a dual meet with
the Badgers on Friday.
Girls' School

present academic year in June.

the information that the school
