TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1951 Syracuse Boxers Shock Penn State Clouters, 5-3 Defeat is a bitter pill to swallow in any case, but doubly so when you come as close to victory as the State boxing team did in Syracuse, Saturday night. The Lions dropped a 5-3 decision to Syracuse, defending Eastern champion in the victor's ring. But even in defeat there A number of factors about Satur day's encounter show that the Lions have no reason to mourn their defeat. First, the Orange lineup was packed with power. Two Eastern champs, two East ern runnersup; and two national runnersup of last year graced the Orange starting eight. State's Best Showing Second, individually the State men turned in their best perform:- ance of the year, against their best opposition, which in itself is hard to do. The initial bout of the evening set the pattern for the meet. State's Sam Marino showed no inclination to bow before Jim Huba's reputation. He consistent ly beat Huba to the punch, des pite Huba's longer reach, and kept him off balance most of the evening. Huba was given the first round 10-9, evidently for trying. Marin . o turned on twice as much steam in the second, and took it, 10-9, tying up the bout. Continu ing the same tactics, Marino looked to be way ahead of the Eastern champ in the final round. Huba consistently missed with his potent right, even to the point of falling down when he swung. The winner—Syracuse, 29-28. Barr Edges Coulter The Lions got on the winning side in the 130-Ib. bout, as Jim my Barr loosened up in the last half to pummel Tom Coulter for a 30-27 decision. Barr now has won three out of four starts. Frank Gross stretched his' win streak to five by pounding out a lopsided 30-23 decision over sophomore Eddie Martin. Eastern champ Ben Dolphin turned back John Albarano's bid for an upset in the 145-Ib. class by defeating his shorter foe, 30- 26. Albarano also fought one of his best fights, refusing to re spect Dolphin's renowned power punching. Helms TKO Victim Captain Pat Heims, off to his best start this year, seemed in the process of beating unbeaten Bill "Mad-dog" Miller, when he was injured by a. low blow late in the first round. Heims finished the round, winning it 10-9, and piled up a bigger advantage in the sec ond, until two more body blows put him down for the second time• Miller was awarded a TKO. In the best fight of the eve ning, State's unbeaten Lou Kos zarek floored Jim Palmiotto in the second round, and went on to win, 30-27. Chuck Wilson, 175, ran into George Kartalian's right glove early in the first round and the powerful Eastern runnerup swarmed into his less experienced opponent with both hands flail ing. Kartalian scored a TKO at 48 seconds of the first round. Heavyweight Herb Kurtz, going all-out in the first round, had Marty Crandell in trouble for a time, but tired fast, and dropped the round, 10-9. Crandell got his left jab working effective ly in the second, and had Kurtz in trouble on the ropes when the bout was stopped at 1:48 of the second round. , rniiiiiiiiiiiiniliiiiiimimilimmliiiiiiiiitiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit = _ = - = E. 1 efoffire = = = = = E = fr e eteii 0 to GOOD F...- EATING = = • = . = E = AT THE BAR .B- LI = = Outdoor Formerly Teddy's Restaurant E Barbeque Beaver and Pugh Sts.

By 808 SCHOELLKOPF The New York Giants yesterday sprang their first experiment of the young spring training season by having weak-armed Whitey Lockman switch from the outfield to first base during their first Py - orkout at Sanford. Fla. • The 24 - year - old outfielder worked out at the initial sack for an hour-and-a-half. The ex periment calls for the shifting of the strong-armed Monte Ir vin from his regular first base post to replace the position va cated by Lockman. • From Sanford also came news of baseball's first training injury of 1951. The casualty is shortstop Rudy Rufer, who suffered a lac eration of the upper right eye-lid on a batted ball which took a nad hop. * *. * * * * * * * The Pittsburgh Pirates yester day announced the signing of sec ond baseman Romanus "Monty' Basgall and pitcher Harry Fisher to 1951 contracts. Basgall hit .281 and fielded a .961 in 58 games for the Pirate's triple-A farm club at Indiana polis last year. With New Or leans of the Southern associa tion in 1950, Fisher won five and lost eight. The right-handed twirler, a fine stickman, was used quite a bit as a pinch hit ter. * * * * * * * * Big Don Newcombe, Brooklyn pitcher who hurled 19 victories against 11 defeats last year, yes terday weighed in at the Dodger Spectators, IM Team Entries Play Zany Parts In Sports Program Nittany Fencers Are Foiled Again Living up to prematch billing as one of the most powerful fencing aggregations in the coun try, Navy recorded its sixth straight win by a devastating 24-3 slashing of Penn State. It was the Art Meyer-coached team's third loss. • The Middies .discouraged their Pennsylvania visitors from the outset of the meet by copping the foil duels, 9-0. Ed Kalanik, Don Wood, Joe Kusick, and Tom Taylor suffered defpats for the Lions. Navy Sweeps Epee The Sailors continued to pile up .a commanding lead by also capturing the epee event, 9-0. For State, Pete Raidy, Lou Como, and Bob Whitman lost all three of their matches. However, in the saber division, the Lion bladesmen broke into the scoring column as Captain Ed Merek captured his two duels against one defeat. Captain Merek's perfect record fell by the wayside as he suffered his first defeat of the campaign. °~f.4)~ a..;iwi..v. yrn.wv : v..w.. ....~.' i. ~ 'n4 :. The CtrV 10 S Dope training base at Vero Beach, Fla 244 pounds strong. Despite the heavy weight. Newcombe reported that he was only five pounds above his best pitching weight. The r t - handed pitcher was the first batteryman in camp. During the 1946-47 IM wrest ling season, a fraternity could en ter two men in each weight class. This was all well and good until two strapping 165-pound Sigma Nu men found that they had out done everyone else in their class and consequently would meet in the finals. Man Over Beast The Sigma Nu's, after some dragged-out meetings with the big powers in the house, decic's - 1 that seniority would prevail. In the actual match one of the boys dressed like an ape, the other, as an English gentleman complete with monocle. After clowning around for a period or two, the junior deliberately flipped over on his back, and an IM rule was drastically altered. Then there was a character who thought that there had been a very raw decision called in an intramural touch football game. This particular Joe raced out on the field,- collared the ref, and was about to commit mayhem when two fraternity brothers rushed over to tell him that it wouldn't be too profitable to sock Frankie Goodman, three times Eastern Intercollegiate champ and twice national title-holder. No question on that one. By LOWELL KELLER Not only individual per formers but also entire teams and even spectators get into the act when the zany antics begin breaking out in Penn State's intramural sports pro ' • gram. For instance, in last year's IM wrestling matches, Sigma Alpha Epsilon went into the finals with a possible chance to capture the title. The SAE's seemed to think that their chances hinged on a key bout between Ron Coder, of Phi Kappa Sigma and Charlie .Myers of their own house. Geronimo However, the best the SAE's hoped for was decision. The bal cony was packed with the boys from both houses, with a fellow named Jim Ewing occupying a choice seat in the front row. To cut it short, Myers pinned Coder and with a scream of triumph, Mr. Ewing took off from the bal cony. Although Jim landed on his feet, he was seen limping around campus for a few weeks following the match. PAGE SEVEN Pittsburgh Tops Lion Swimmers Pittsburgh's swimmers 'kept Penn State's win column bare and extended the Lions losing skein to seven in a row by winning, 52-23, in Glennland pool Satur day afternoon. So completely did the Panthers dominate the meet that the Statesmen could only garner one first place. That lone triumph, however, was a great victory for backstroker George Hamilton who streaked 200 yards in 2:19.9 to over-shadow by more than two seconds his own Penn State rec ord set just a week ago. Big Bertha in the Pittsburgh attack was ECSA 440 champion Jim Zentgraf who pulled the "hat trick." His triple triumph includ ed the distance double, 220 and 440, and a turn on the victorious 400 relay quartet. Over the furlong route the smooth, easy stroking merman broke with a 2:17.8 effort the pool record set last year by Syra cuse's Clark in 2:19.1. Hard luck continued to dog State's Cas Borowy. The Lion co captain swam his two sprints, 50 and 100, faster than at any time this year, yet lost both by an arm stroke. A pair of crack Pitt divers forced State's Bob Kenyon to take a third place spot for the first time this year. Al Ciocca, ECSA champ in '49, won. Aside from Gene Kolber's two runnerup berths in the 220 and 440, the Lions picked up a host of thirds. An ad appearing in a 1915 Col legian —"The Pennsylvania State college has five great schools of fering thirty-six courses of four years each also others, tuition free to both sexes, incidental charges moderate."
