One of the reasons Syracuse has been disappointing on the basketball court this year is because of big Ed Miller's inability to score • consistently. In his first 13 games the 6-foot-8 Orange center sdored only 146 points . If one can take the word of one of the greatest ring officials in boxing history, Arthur Donavan, then it is :virtually impossible — for Mr. Average Fan to see the/fight as the officials see it. "The average fan just doesn't look for those elementary factors that count so much in scoring," explains the famous referee. "He sees the bout from only one position. There are a lot of things that thaVe to be weighed and studied when deciding a close match. You should •look for four elements (1) punching power, (2) aggressiireness, (3) de fense and (4) ring generalship." Three Michigan State linemen made the Lithuanian All-Ameri can football team selected in The Marian, a magazine published in Chicago. The three are guards John Yocca and Frank Kapral, and tackle Deane Thomas. (Ed. note What's that got to do with the price of eggs in China?") . EIM:M:] Isn't often one gets the chance to look askance at an article written by Jim Coogan, Penn State's efficiesnt director of sports pub licity. However, we ran across an item by Hugh Fullerton Jr. which supplied us with a bit of a chuckle. Fullerton pens: : Thumbing through the record books recently v Coogan noted that Hugo Bezdek's football and baseball teams in the 1930's had rolled up unbeaten strings of 30 games each. Jim pegged a story. on that, reciting the best winning streaks in each sport. Only thing 'he overlooked was soccer, which had the best string of all 65 games over nine seasons.' Coogan's blushing postscript after reading his mail: "I never knew soccer had so f many friends. Too bad they don't all go see the team play; it - would make a crowd." Should Homer Barr win his third Eastern Intercollegiate wresi•- ling title then it is quite possible.that he will blimp into the scourge of Big Ten heavyweight wrestlers, Ohio State's Bill Miller, defending conference champion.
