Boxers Outpunch
W. Maryland, 7-1
By ART BENNING
In keeping' with Coach Eddie
Suikowski’s early season predic
tion that the Nittany Lion boxing
team would get better as the sea
son progressed, the ringmen
showed marked improvement in
battering Western Maryland for
a 7-1 victory at Westminster, Md.,
Saturday night.
The victory followed the sea
son opening loss to Minnesota
and a 4-4 draw with Catholic
University.
Scoring four technical knock
outs, the Lion mittmen tuned up
for this weekend’s battle with
Army, by narrowly missing a
shutout. Heavyweight Herb
Kurtz lost a 23-27 decision to
Western Maryland’s Watson Solo
mon, although he finished strong
to take the third round by a
10-8 count.
Sam Marino, State’s sophomore
find in the 12p-lb. class, racked
up his second victory when he
TKO’d Jerry Grandea in 51 sec
onds of the second round. John
Albarano, 145: Lou Koszarek, 165;
and Charley Wilson, 175, were the
other TKO winners.
Wilson turned the trick in one
minute, eight seconds of the first
round against Jack Molesworth.
Koszarek landed his lethal right
on Jack Kelley’s chin after one
minute and 42 seconds. Albarano

Gymnasts Trip
N.C., 74V4-33J4
Taking six out of seven first
places and sweeping two events
completely, the Penn State gym
nasts trampled the North Caro
lina Tarheels, 74!4 - 3314, at
Chapel Hill, Saturday.
The Nittanies were in College
Park, Md. last night seeking their
second victory from the Univer
sity of Maryland.
Tumbling' and the sidehorse
events went easily to the Lions
as Captain Rudy Valentino and
Dave Benner gained top honors.
Owen Wilkinson and A 1 Grazier
finished second and third behind
Valentino, while Dick Shaffer and
Larry Jamieson helped Benner
earn a clean sweep on the side
horse.
Campbell Wins
Tom Campbell, 1949 PIAA hori
zontal bars .champion, won that
event for Coach Gene Wettstone’s
group. The only event that the
North Carolinians could wrest
from the Lions was the trampo
line, which is not recognized by
the Eastern Gymnastic Associa
tion. Wilkinson took second.
Jim Hazen captured first place
on the flying rings. Dave Doug
las, parallel bars, and Dave
Schultz, rope climb, were the
other individual winners in the
intersectional meet.
The Tarheels are coached by
Bill Meade, a former Eastern
tumbling titlcholder recently
graduated from Penn State. In
addition to being limited to one
first place the Chapel Hill squad
could garner only two second
places.
Skiers Star In Tri
A trio of Penn State skiers
came through in surprisingly good
style in the men’s cross-country
race of the Tri-State Ski cham
pionships at Ligonier, Pa., on Jan.
27 and 28.
Lion Captain Bud Bankert
turned in an exceptional job when
he breezed over the rugged
course in 49:01 to capture second
place behind Egil Eide of the
Cleveland Ski club, who finished
in 47:52.
State’s . John Kirch and Ike
Weiler finished fourth and sixth.

and notchin,
their seventh
win ol the year
37-53.
After using a
deep freeze to beat Buckncll in
the first meeting, the Lions,
sparked by Hardy Williams who
played probably the best game
of his college career, proved that
they could beat Bucknell anyway
they pleased to play. By-passing
their usual possession game, the
Nittanies combined a zone de
fense with a fast break to turn
back Coach Jack Guy’s men for
the second straight time.
Williams proved the driving
force in the Lions’ “new\style” as
the slim forward took scoring
honors with 18 points while play
ing a demon backboard game.
Penn State’s “scoring twins,”
Captain Lou Lamie and Ted Pa
noplos, continued neckband neck
in the season scoring race as the
two tossed in 17 and 15 points, re
spectively.
Whitey Makarewicz came in for
some praise with his fine spot
work—filling in for Tiny Mc-
Mahan at the center position. If
the performances of Williams and
Makarewicz are any indication of
things to come, Penn State will
have a greatly improved basket
ball team.

Cornell, Pirates
Top Swimmers
Saturday at Seton .Hall, Lion
swimmers took up where they
left off two weeks ago—a 45-30
defeat by Cornell— and dropped
their fourth straight, 46-29. to the
Pirate's ECSA champion aggre
gation.
Distance man Gene Kolber con
tinued to shine in Coach Bill Gut
teron’s losing swim picture. Gene
wasn’t pushed en route to his
third 440 victory of the season,
but could only cop a second in
half that distance.
Against Cornell, Kolber cracked
two Penn State team records the
same day. In the quarter mile
Gene lowered his own record to
5:19 and in the 220 by winning
in 2:24 he clipped three tenths
from former Captain John Mc-
Grory’s standard set last year.
Against Seton Hall Cas Bor
owy, who has been swimming
well but against top flight compe
tition, had ill fortune thwart his
first win of the campaign. Cas
was streaking toward a swift
100-yard freestyle triumph when
on the last turn a bad shadow
effect, caused by poor lighting,
made him foul. Forced to retake
the turn. State’s co-captain still

ahead of Trygve Holst, last year’s
Norwegian champion.
Eighteen contestants, most of
whom were from the Scandina

Seven failed to finish. The course,
a rolling seven-mile stretch cov
