Dressen Talks, Dodger Balks VERO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 21 (JP) —There is going to be plenty of squawks in the National league this season because the umpires are going to call more balks. Manager Charlie Dressen of the Brooklyn Dodgers told his pitch ers he had been advised by sev eral arbiters that they had been instructed to enforce the balk rule more rigidly than ever.. That was what the umpires started tc. do in the early part of last season but they eased up on their balk calls as the season progressed. "I talked to the pitchers and I found out that Ralph Branca, Preacher Roe and Don New combe were the biggest balk of fenders," said Dressen. "I asked them to sho•v me how they faced the batters and what they did on the mound. I then instructed them on the proper delivery of the ball. "I told them to place particu lar attention on guarding against the little use that certain base runners use to induce a balk. I know about them because I used them myself last year at Oakland. In fact, we won several games by causing the other fellow to balk. "I'm not going to give the sec ret away, but I'm sure we can force some balks on certain pitch ers I have in mind. One thing I can assure you, we're not going to lose any because of balks. All a pitcher has to do is wait the required second. look to the base. then make his delivery. tv% could accept the. Notre Dame job. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENISN7LV NIA BULLETIN Boxers Entertain Wisconsin Team Saturday Night By ART BENNING Coach Eddie Sulkowski's box ing aggregation tries again for its third victory of the season Saturday night in Rec hall when they entertain the Badgers from the University of Wisconsin at 7 o'clock. The Lions have a number of bones to pick with the Badgers, including last year's 4 1 / 2 -3 1 / 2 loss in Madison. Also, the only re maining undefeated ringmen for the Lions this year are Frank Gross (5-Q) and Lou Koszarek (3-0-2), both of whom were decis ioned by the Badgers last year. Outlook Brighter The boxing scene looks a little brighter for Wisconsin this year, after suffering its first losing sea son in the school's history last year when the team won three Dick Murphy and dropped four. But for all the talent the Badgers have come up with, they may lack the exper ience that has been characteristic of past Wisconsin teams. Graduation took a heavy toll. Gone are last year's co-captains, Steve Gremban (125) and Dwaine Dickinson (145) who finished out four year careers. Also lost via graduation are Ted Kozusek (165), Jim Sreenan (130), and Vito Parisi (hvywt.), 1948 national champ. The Badger's strength this year seems packed into the top four weights, starting with captain Dick Murphy at 155-lbs. who lost only one bout last year. Sreenan vs Koszarek At 165-lbs. Pat Sreenan, sopho more brother of veteran Jim Sreenan, has the edge over a crop of young 165'ers. He meets sharp punching Lou Koszarek, who is Protecting his unbeaten skein by improving with each bout. Veteran Gerald Meath will rep resent the Badgers at 175-lbs. He lost a decision to State's Jack Bolger last season. the heavyweight class, Bob Ranck. returning to school after a one-year layoff, takes up where he left off in 1949, which was very near the top. As a sopho more in '49, Ranck won all his Oual meet bouts (7), including those with Chuck Drazenovich, Marty Crandell, and Don Schaef fer. In the NCAA meet he lost to Crandell in the semi-finals. 125-Ib. Class At the other end of the weight classes. Pat Farmer has the edge over contenders for the 125-Ib. spot vacated by Gremban. Gene Diamond, a 130-pounder, may move down a weight when con itioning takes its toll. In that case, Dave Wiseman, 135-lbs., will probably move down to the 130 class. Wiseman is giving vet eran Les Paul the most compe tition in the 135-Ib. class. Paul failed to win a decision last year in six tries. Another non-winner last year, Ernie Wer rin. will probably gb at 145-lbs. against State's John Albarano: Werrin lost bouts at both 135 and 145 last year. Saturday's meet will be the second of the year for the Bad gers. Last week they met Gon zaga. Results of the meet, are un available as yet. Wrestlers Rik Record Against Once-Beaten Navy Another challenge to Penn State's bid for the first unbeaten wrestling season since 1942 will be brought into Rec hall Saturday afternoon when the once-beaten Midshipmen from the U.S. Naval academy make their appearance on the mats. Coach Charlie Speidel and his warriors have an unblemished record of 6-0 for the season, with two men, heavyweight captain Homer Barr and 147-pounder Don Frey, also working on undefeat ed streaks. Barr's skein is now up to 22 dual meet wins without a loss and Frey, a sophomore, bas a 6-0 log. Mike Rubino, Ni t t any 177- pounder, was in a practice match last night and, while trying an escape, rolled over boxer Chuck Wilson and hit his head on a met al platform, knocking himself. out cold. Rubino was revived and had no after effects except a bump on the head. Navy's only loss of the cam paign was an 14-11 upset by Rut gers.

Last week in a telegraphic match the riflemen fired a score of 1410, their highest total of the year,'but results haven't been re ceived yet from other competing schools.

Tom Hamilton For Sports TV PITTSBURGH, Feb. 21---(1P) Athletic Director Tom Hamilton of the University of Pittsburgh said today college atheltics are ready to live with the television industry --- but not die in it. Hamilton, who is chairman of the NCAA television committee, is of the opinion it's the place of TV to nay the expense of making the industry and college sports compatible. "There's no use "kidding our selves," Hamilton declared. "The dollars .we 'get, from 'football fi nance' our whole college athletic program an d physical training set-up. "Unless game televising is put on a paying basis for the school instead of being a deficit, we're going to have to keep away from it or ruin 50 years of progress in the country's physical education program for youngsters." Hamilton points out the best solution to the problem that the television committee has arrived at to date won't leave the public out of the expense-sharing for telecasting top-flight college sporting events. That is the "phonevision" sys tem which brings first run movies to TV viewers in Chicago. A spe cial telephone line to each tele vision set completes the circuit for a special channel over which the picture is televised. For a dollar, the telephone com pany cuts the viewers set in on the channel. Proceeds are split among th e telephone company, the television producers, and the movie producers TIII3IISDAY, FEBRUARY z-z„-/r.. By GEORGE GLAZER Thomas Beats Perrone Thomas is norm ally a 177- pound grappler, but in the Rut gers match dropped down to 167 to take on Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling association champion Emil Perrone, whom he easily defeated. Thomas also took the measure of Cornell's ace, Don Dickason, in a 167-pound match last week end. The Navy opened the season with a 24-6 victory over Mary land. State whitewashed Mary land, the only opponent both have faced, 30-0. North Carolina was the next victim of the Middies, falling 36-0. Rutgers broke the string, but Princeton lost a 26-4 match, and Cornell went down, 22-8. Navy's captain, Bob Sutley, is the Middies' choice for the 123 test. Sutley last week scored a fall over'his Big Red opponent. Dick Neff will follow Sutley in 130. Neff was pinned last week by Cornell footballer Pete Bol anis. • At 137 will be Dick Gregory, a winner by decision last week, and Frank Scolpino will take the mats at 147. Scolpino lost a verdict for Cornell's other three points. In Navy's last outing, 157- pounder Floyd Holloway pinned his man and in the previous con test, against Princeton. ended up with a 1-1 tie with the Tigers' standout, Tony Orser. Switc4 Possible • Archie Thompson, a decision winner against the Big Red; will start ih 167. If any switch in the Navy lineup comes about, it will probably be between Thompson and Thomas. with Thomas mov ing down to 167 and Thompson taking up the 177-pound chores. This switch was made already this season when Thomas wrestled Perrone. At heavyweight will' be foot baller Jim Hunt, who won by a decision last week. Hunt's op ponent was supposed to be Cor nell's Al Clark, who is rapidly gaining himself a reputation in eastern wrestling ci r cle s. But Clark was hurt and did not com pete: Bill Klem Observes 77th; Birthday Abed MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 21 —(lP)—The "old arbitrator," Wil liam Joseph (Bill) Klem, dean of baseball umpires, observes his 77th birthday tomorrow.
