Small Crowd Witnesses State
Cap Eighth Of Last Nine Starts
Captain Lou Lamie drew 19 points closer to the Penn
State one-year scoring record last night as he led the Nittany
Lion cagers to a 73-54 victory over American university in
Rec
The smallest crowd of the win
ter sport season saw the Lions
win their eighth game in their
last nine starts.
The contest was shoddily play
ed as both teams displayed some
sloppy ball handling, especially
in the first half.
Start Slow
After a slow start, the Lions fi
nally got rolling and ran up a 39-
27 lead at halftime. The Gross
men continued to add to their
lead in the second half and but
for one brief rally by the Eagles
late in the period were never
pushed.
Lamie and Sherm Webster. a
left-handed hook-shot specialist
for the Eagles, tied for high point
honors with 19 apiece. Herm
Sledzik took runner-up honors
with 16 points.
Lamie put State into the lead
with a foul and a layup. Hardy
Williams connected with a one ,
hander to run the count to 5-0.
Webster scored on a hook and
two fouls before Tiny McMahan,
Lamie, and Ted Panoplos hit, for
successive field goals to give the
Lions a 10-4 margin.
Eagles Crowd Lead
Webster hit on a one-hander
and Ron Garshag scored on a tip ;
in to narrow the score to 10-8.
McMahan put in a one-handdr
while Ish Ishman also converted
a two-pointer for the Eagles.
Lamie scored his second field
goal but Webster hooked in two
more for American U. to tie the
count at 14-14 with 11 minutes to
go. Panoplos boosted the Lions
into a temporary lead with a one
hand push shot but Ed Moffatt
tied it again with a field goal.
Sledzik again put the Lions in the
lead with a goal but that lead
was also short lived as Webster
again hooked in a fielder and add
ed a foul to give American a 19-18
margin.
Piorkowski Gets Hot
Lamie's underhand layup gave
the Lions a 20-19 lead and from
then on the State cagers were
never headed. With Joe Piorkow
ski leading the way with four
field goals and a foul the Lions
ran the count to 39-27 at the half.
State came right back in the
second hail and began to up the
ante. Laurie and McMahan hit for
fielders while American was get
ting two fouls by Morales and
Ishman. Webster hit on a one
hander and then the Lion bar
rage came. With Lamie and Sled
zik pouring in most of the points,
State built up a 56-36 lead before
the Eagles put on a brief rally to
close the gap to 61-50.
However, good shooting by
Tiny McMahan and Sledzik took
the Lions out of dancer and State
left 'the floor ahead 73-54 with
their twelfth victory in 18 starts.

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.

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

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

Saturday's meet will be the
second of the year for the Bad

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. The Middies have one un

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

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

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 21
—(lP)—The "old arbitrator," Wil

baseball umpires, observes his
77th birthday tomorrow.
But the grand old big league
umpire, whose eagle eye "never
