Next Door to City Hall THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Lion Vignettes Watch Lamie! .'5l Court Foes Cry . Six feet, two inches and 180 : pounds of potential All-American —that’s Lou Lamie, Penn State’s basketball captain. For if the likeable Arnold, Pa. product continues his early sea son pace it’s go ling to be difficult to overlook him when the time comes next March for choos ing the all-star aggregations. Thus far in three games, Lou has averaged 21 points, a fair average in any league. Lou is a physical education ma jor and a member of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity. While in high school he was placed on his first all-star team, his play with the Arnold team earning him a berth on an all-section squad. Lou spent his freshman year at California State Teachers college, where he was a member of the varsity cage squad. Moving up to the Nittany Lions in 1948, he has been an integral part of the team here ever since. He attributes the Lion’s fine showing thus far to the team’s fighting, never-say-die spirit. As his biggest thrill in basketball, Lou nominates last year’s Colgate game which he sent into over-j time with a last second free i throw. I Lou needs but 249 points this season to crack the all time Penn State three-year scoring mark. Modest to the nth degree, he still admits that he would like very much to capture the record. After graduating, Lou will look toward pro basketball. When his active playing career is finished he hopes to land a coaching job. Lions Hopeful- (Continued from xxipe one) is whether the Lion cagers can take on a fast breaking team like Rhode Island State tonight and then come back tomorrow night and play a team which employs the platoon system, without tir ing. It looks 1 as if the Lions’ first five will have to play roles of iron men. But to ask the same five men .to play 40 minutes of basketball on consecutive nights against teams as tough as these might be asking too much. Only time will tell. Hold-overs claim four of the five positions on Penn State’s starting basketball team. ** ’ * By JOE BREU CslL SaTiCa Alum QF MILWAUKEE ® GAME rrrj up” WTH HIS sr»p nME NIGHT WS£W his river. Watkins, Polito Win To Enter Ring Finals A pair of 121-pound boxers, Don “Judge” Watkins, of Phi Delta Theta, and Bill Polito, of Theta Kappa Phi, fought their ways into the finals .of the IM tournament last night. The finals will be fought Monday night at 8:30 p.m. .Watkins, utilizing a good left hand, in a second round spurt, downed John Ruffner, of Delta Upsilon while Polito maintained a steady body attack to topple Fred Fieni, of Theta Chi. But Marts, an independent, al so entered the finals, taking a for feit victory in the 135-pound di vision. Dick Cameron, of Beta Theta Pi, continued to chop down all opponents, as he made Steve Meisel, of Alpha Epsilon Pi, his latest victim. It was a slow 165- pound bout, in which Cameron was the aggressor all the way. Rudy Reid,. of Omega Psi Phi, and Bill Hanley, of Theta Chi, collided in a 145-pound battle, with Reid winning a close one. Both boys showed good lefts, and Reid gained the nod on his ag gressiveness. Joe Lane, of Delta Upsilon, swinging with little accuracy, bested Bill Nichol, of Alpha Gam ma Rho. Lane beat off Nichol’s hard right-hand blows in a close bout, to barely squeeze under the wire. In a slow heavyweight match, Carl Pfirman, of Sigma Chi, took the measure of Bill Gourlev, of Delta Tau Delta. It was a dull bout in which both boys tired too oi.iickfv to do much of anything.
