Sigma Pi and APA reached the finals by virtue of semi-final vic tories Wednesday night. • UNBEATEN NO LONGER Alpha Phi Alpha knocked. off its third unbeaten team in a row by downing Delta Upsilon, 22-21,1 in a• rough, exciting ball game. The winners left the floor at hall time with a three point advan tage but the DU's fought back to within a point with only five seconds to go. At that point, an' APA player committed a person al. But the free throw bounced off the front of the rim and big Charlie Murray hauled the re bound in and let the time run out.

Behind at half time by 3 points the SP men came back and finally forged ahead with the help of some fine set shooting by Bill Hoke who topped the scorers with 8 important points. UPSET Even eclipsing. the Jesters close' victory in the independent quar ter-finals was Dorm 14's stunning upset of last year's champion, Section 10, 23-13. John Rignani's 7 pbints were a big factor . in handing Section 10 its first loss in 18 ball games. • Dorrh 12 threw a scare into ,the unbeaten ::Jesters before going doWn to a one point, 17-16, defeat. Dick Thompson was , high man for the victors with six markers. BOPPERS DROP The : Boppers dropped' from-the ranks of the undefeated by 'losing a 33-25 verdict to a strong Edin boro team; -but gave the winners a rough 'time before folding in the second half. Bill MihaliCh and Dick Beyon sparked .Edinboro to its eighth straight win with eight points ,apiece. The Eagles eliminated. Dorm 3 from the playoffs .with a lc,;n liincing 29-19 victory, and gained the right to meet the Jesters ' Weather -Slows' . • Only 2 'batting' It's been five weelti — iiiide•lialOball .practice started, and ...ttie usual story is holding true for:the begfnning bf :collegiate:baseball in these parts--nothirx can be' done the: weather lines up with coach Joe 'Bedenk's 441„! • : • r Two shoit batting drills" have been, far, and: - nothing tangible has been gained by either of therif..Biting . cold 'and strohg winds have held both.hitters and fielders in check. , The only major injury that has cropped up hospitalized outfielder Stan Lagonosky for a few days.

In the infield, Chris, Tonery and Hal Greenberg, are being given a close look as possible re placements for Bill Tegtmeyer, varsity third sacker who is in eligible this year. • The same holds true for, Car !flan Troisi• and Bill Mihalich, qne at, ontjaay, be,. called upon to. By ERNIE MOORE Suikowski Fills Houck's Shoes; . Boxing Lions Impressed in '5O. By GEORGE VADASZ Penn State's football. team, which just this week inaugarated spring drills, isn't the only Lion varsity without a full-time coach at the helm. Needless to say, Pen , ' State's coaching troubles have been fo cused on the gridiron, yet since early this year, the Nittany boxer also have been without the services of a full-time tutor. When Leo Houck, deceased Lion boxing coach, was unable to continue with his duties because of his critical illness, Eddie Sul kowski, one of Houck's first ring lieutenants, was called upon to take over the reigns as acting coach. Since then, Sulkowskz has done a commendable job with the Lion mitt slingers. It was a lean and hungry outfit that reported to him at the beginning of the season. There were only three battle-seasoned ' vetarans back from the previous season. Captain Chuck, light heavy Jack Bolger, and Paul Smith had returned for their last season in the ring. From the host of newcomers, all neophytes to Penn State boxing ci2cles, Sulkowski had to mold a winning combination. Not an easy .task. Yet as the season prildressed, through hard work and patience .Sulkowski's eff or t s began to reap dividends. Newcomers like 135-pound John Albarano and Lou Koszarek at 155, both sophomores, began to hit the winning stride. Frank Gross, another first year varsity man, won his share of 145-pound assigments. Some of the nation's best. boxing units opposed the Lions. The Nittanies deadlocked with three ring giants, Minnesota, Virginia and Syracuse, the cur rent Eastern Intercollegiate champions:... Not Not that he wants his to be a tale of sour grapes, but Sulkow, ski as well as many of- the local ring enthusiasts have realized, that, had the Lions received their share of the breaks, the aboVe ties could easily have turned into vic tories, for State. .. Against Army and Wisconsin. the Nittany forces dropped one point decisions. Against Michigan ' State, probably the nation's top .collegiate - ring team, the Lions drop ped a. 5-3 verdict, still the Sulkowski-tutored charges made an im - r ssive ShoWing.., Actually - the; final outcome didn't indicate the c .ose pitch of the meet.
