( F. SIX Boxing Win Over Cadets Ups Lions' Eastern Rating Pulling one of the season's big. surprises in Eastern collegiate boxing circles, the Nittany Lion ring team pounded out a convinc ing 5 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 win' over the Black Knights from West Point Saturday night in Rec hall. The surprise was two-fold. I' had little inkling of the potentia ondly, the Lion victory surprised Army right out of top contention for Eastern team honors. The State pugilists made it look like a breeze by taking the first four bouts of the evening, and then breaking even the rest of the way. Gross Cuts Loose The man with the dynamite fists, Frank Gross, made it four straight wins in the 135-Ib. class, when he scored a TKO at 1:55 seconds of the first round against Army's Mahlon Weed. After feinting cautiously and watching for the right opening for the first minute, Gross tagged Weed with a left to the chin that staggered the Cadet and sent him reeling almost through the ropes. Seconds later Gross dropped him for a nine count, and scored the final knock-down with two lefts and rights to the head. Classy Sam Marino got the Lions off on the right foot with a 30-28 decision over Army's un beaten Don Speirs in the 125-Ib. class. After an even-up first round, Marino took command in the second canto to pile up a two point advantage. Tiring under the blows of a much rangier oppon ent, Marino still traded blow-for blow with Speirs in the third round, which ended in a 10-10 tie. 3rd Round TKO At 130 lbs., Jimmy Barr made his second win a TKO when the referee stopped his bout with Ca det Donahue one second before the end of the third round. Dona hue took the first round, 10-9. John Albarano decisioned Jim McGee in the 145-lb. bout for his third win in four starts. In win ning each round by a 10-9 count, Albarano used a punishing body attack and a good left to keep the aggressive McGee at bay. Army's veteran Ken Herring decisioned Captain Pat Heims, 30 -27, in the 155-lb. clash. Heims. not using hiS usually good left to full advantage, stayed, on the de fensive most of the way. Koszarek Earns Decision In the closest fight of the night, Lou Koszarek decisioned another Army veteran ringman, Lou Mor in, . 29-28. The two battled on even terms during the first round. with Koszarek the better man in the second. Koszarek took the third period, 10-9. Jim Mclnerney won his third fight in four starts for Army when he TKO'd State's Chuck 'Wilson in the 175-lb. class late in the third period. 1-Trwyweinht Herb Kurtz show ed th^ crowd what they wanted to see in a free-swinging slugfest By ART BENNING rst, it astonished most fans, who in the 1951 boxing lineup. Sec- Galiffa Hurling 'Pineapple' TM KOREA, Feb. 12 (JP)—Lt. Arn old Galiffa, 1949 All-America from West Point, is tossing hand grenades these days instead of footballs. Fellow officers reported today the former cadet quarterback helped wipe out attacking Reds by hurling a hand grenade 75 yards. That is twice as far as the book says grenades can be thrown accurately. Galiffa is from Donora, Pa. with Army's Jack Chambli n, which' ended in a draw. Kurtz commanded an edge at the end, but could not overtake the lead built up by Chamblin in the first canto. Present NC A A heavyweight champion of the nation, Chuck Drazenovich, was seated at ring side to watch his former team mates in action. Questioned about his successor, Herb Kurtz, the Draz said he was pleased to see Herb doing so well. "With a little better left, and some straighter punthing he could hold his own against them all," the for m e r heavyweight said.

PENNSYLVANIA Victorious Over Army, Matmen Seek Sixth Straight Against Syracuse Syracuse is next on the schedule of the Nittany rnatmen as they continue undefeat ed in quest of their first Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association title since 1942. The two teams will tangle at Syracuse this Saturday. The wrestlers took a big step forward last Saturday when they stretched their season record to 5-0 with a 15-11 win over Army. 'lt was Penn State's eighth straight dual meet triumph since losing - to Syracuse last season. Captain Homer Barr extended his perSonal dual meet record to 21 without defeat—preserving a 12-11 Nittany lead —when he pushed Army footballer J. D. Kimmel around for an 8-0 de cision in the heavyweight bout. Wouldn't Play Ball Barr tried hard to pin Kim mel, and did get a near fall in the first period, but Kimmel seemed content to be pushed around the mat on his face by Barr. Don Frey also kept his win streak intact, but had to be con tent with. a 9-3 decision over Ca det Dan Myers in 147. Previous ly, Frey had won four straight matches by falls, only once gr,.;l as far as the second period. Coach Charlie Speidel's other two previously-undefeated mat men, Joe Lemyre, 167, and Mike Rubino, 177, lost decisions to their Cadet opponents. Mulder Defeats Lemyre Army , Captain Dean Mulder took a 6-2 decision from Lemyre end Rubino lost a 3-0 verdict to Al Paulekas, an ex-PIAA wrest ling champion from Farrell, Pa. Mulder, who finished third in last year's Eastern's, scored the first two points in his match with Lemyre when he dropped the Statemen for a takedown in the first period. The two thrashed about, on the mat for most of the first period. Lemyre several times came close to breaking loose, but Mulder, an excellent leg wrest ler, held him in check. The Cadet captain reversed on Lemyre to start the second period, running the score to 4-0, and Lemyre fi nally broke loose for a reverse al so in the second. It was Mulder all the way in the final frame. Rubino's match with Paulekas started out as if blood might be shed at any minute. Paule k a s, in retaliation to Mike's tactics of pawing his op ponent's hair, slapped a little too hard and both were off to the races as the crowd roared its ap proval. Rubino got some meas ure of satisfaction by coming up with two body slams in the first period that echoed from ape end of Rec hall to the other. Paillekas pulled an escape in the second period and spent most of the time thereafter riding Rubino, adding two-minute's time advantage to his total. Army's 123-pounder, sopho more Bob Karns, kept his record for the past two season's unblem ished as he pinned Don Wat kins with a cradle in 1:40 of the -:econri period. Dreibelbis First Winner Jack Dreibelbis in ade the T,ionc' first noints in the 130- (Continued on page seven) points, Kentucky is ahead by 1,063 to 1,119.

Delaware, expected to be one of the Lion triumphs this season, proved surprisingly strong in the freestyle event's where the Nit tanies figured to dominate with their ace crawl swimmers Cas Borowy and Gene Kolber. Borowy did come up with his first win of the year in the 50- yard dash while Kolber conned first in the 440. But both had ;to play second place parts to the Blue Hen's George Ester whose lead role featured a double suc cess in Cas's longer distance, the 100, and Gene's shorter, the 220. Relay Triumph The only other State victory was registered by Dick Wilson, Bob Long, George Hamilton, and Borowy in the 400-yard relay. In finishing second, Hamilton chased Delaware's Art Mayer to a new school record in the 200- yard backstroke in 2:22.2 to eclipse by nearly three seconds his old Penn State standard set earlier this campaign. George's win and Kolber's fifth victory against one lone defeat in the 440 were State's sole com fort in the Cavalier rout. Steady Bobby Kenyon finished in the money for the sixth succes sive time this season with a sec ond spot against the Virginians off the one meter board. After his first conquest of the year, Borowy fell back into his bridesmaid position with a couple of seconds in the two sprint events, the 50 and 100-yard. Rod Waters hit the scoring col umn with a third in the back stroke as did Bruce Bainbridge in the breaststroke, Bronk in the 440 and Wilson in the 100. 2nd Track Managers Candidates for second assistant track manager have been asked to report to the Rec hall balcony at 4:30 p.m. today.
