PACI7, SIX
Four
Face
Only four Eastern champs will be seeking to repeat their performances this weekend
when the 28th annual Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing Association tournament gets under
way tonight at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville.
Oddly enough, the four Champs
will compete in the first four
weights, and from there on up
the battles for the crowns will be
even wilder.
Last year's tournament at Syr
acuse featured a full lineup, of
eight 1949 champs and one 1948
champ, bringing the total to nine.
Expect Furious Action --
But the lack of champions will
not slow the pace of the boxers
out to win individual ,and team
titles. All but one of the runners
up will be back gunning for the
title again, as well as a host of
surprisingly good sophomores and
veterans who didn't hit the top
last year.
The Lions have two aspirants
for titles who were runnersup
last year. John Albarano, 145-lbs.,
gets another shot at the crown
which he so narowly missed out
on last year. Albarano was de
cisioned by Syracuse's Tim Cur
ley- at 135-lbs. last year.
The other aspirant is Frank
Gross, 135-Ib. scrapper, who lost
a decision to Syracuse's Ben Dol
phin in last year's finals. Gross
and Albarano switched weights
this year, with Gross piling up a
6-1 record while Albarano accum
ulated a 5-2 log.
Gross Vs. Masterson
Gross faces the task of opt
punching Virginia's Grover Mas
, terson if ,he hopes to win the
crown. Gross lost a close decision
to the Cavalier two-time Eastern
champ' last weekend.
Albarano's toughest opposition
w ill probably be defending
champ Ben Dolphin, of Syracuse.,
BULLETIN
CHARLOTTESVILLE, V a.,
March 8 Penn State's. Fiank
Gross, Lou Koszarek, and Jim
Barr automatically entered the
semifinal round of the Eastern
Intercollegiate Boxing Associa
tion tournament here by draw
ing byes in this afternoon's
pairings.
At the same lime it was re
vealed that the Lions' rugged
little Sam Marino will meet
Len Coiner, Va., 125-Ib.: John
Albarano tests Jim McGee,
Army, '145; Pat Heims meets
Bill Miller, Syracuse, 155; Bob
Potter will face George Kar
talian, Syracuse, 175; and Ma
rio Santangelo will tangle with
Virginia's Ed Bessell in th e
heavyweight division.
Dolphin decisioned Albarano in
a dual meet bout this year.
Probably the Lions' best bet
for an individual title is Lou Kos
zarek at 165 lbs. With a 5-0-2 rec
ord this year, Koszarek has beat
en most of the big names in this
weight in the East.
Captain Pat Heims, national
runnerup at 155-lbs., is capable
of taking all comers at this
weight, especially if he catches
fire as he did in last year's NCAA
meet in Rec hall.
The Lions are also counting on
125-pounder Sam Marino to put
up a good battle for the crown
despite some exceptionally good
veterans who will fight at this
weight.
Snow Ridge Scene

Wrestling Ain't Like
It Used To Be In 1919
Wrestling has come a Yong way since 1919, .the first time
Penn State was host to the intercollegiate wrestling tournament.
The March 5, 1919 issue of the
Penn State. Collegian stated -
"Cornell rates as a darkhorse for
the approaching IWA wrestling
championships in" th e Armory,
even though the Big Red has not
participated in ,any intercollegiate
meets.
Frey Lions' Lon!
Unbeaten Entrant
In infercollegiales
The only undefeated wrestler of
the only undefeated team in the
EIWA tournament is the distinc
tion which belongs to Don Frey,
Penn State's 147-lb. sophomore
entrant.
The 20-year-old grappler from
Newton, N. J., completed his un
defeated season with a 2-1 de
cision over Cornell's Frank Bet
tucci, Sat u r d a'y. This defeat
snapped Bettucci's nine-match
wining streak. Frey called it his
toughest match of the year.
Championships Not New
Championship meets are noth
ing new to this physical education
major. In 1948 Frey won the Dis
trict 111 Olympic try-outs, and ad
vanced to the sixth round of ,the
final Olympic eliminations at
lowa. Last year, as a freshman at
Dußois center, he won the Penn
sylvania Mountain association 165-
lb. championship.
At Newton high school Frey
won the New Jersey State high
school 145-Ib. title in 1946, '47,
and '4B. In his freshman high
School year he finished second in
the State championships. He also
played guard on the high school
football team.
Penn State opponents who
thought they saw double this
season will be correct next year
fbr Frey has a twin brOther,
Douglas, whose record is almost
as impressive as Don's.
Because of sickness Doug was
unable to compete this year and
had to leave school during the
first semester.

The Collegian also pointed out
that Cornell's team wa s com
posed of the winners of an All
universitY wrestling meet.
Collegian then stated that the
Ithacans would be somevinat
handicapped "since some of the
youngest grapplers would un
doubtedly lack confidence which
comes only from a long period of
wrestling."
Another Collegian sports story
said "six of the strongest wrest
ling teams in the intercollegiate
world will compete, and some of
the cleverest wrestling ever seen
in the Armory should be • wit
nessed:
The six teams entered in the
tournament. were: Cornell, Le
high,, Penn State, Penn, Colum
bia, and Princeton. Pepn State
repeated their feat of the pre
vious year and won the tourna
ment. Coach Charles Yerger's
men had 23 points, and two indi
vidual champions. Lehigh' was
second with 20 points, and "dark
horse" Cornell finished third.
-During the regular season the
Lions lost two matches, the most
a Penn State wrestling team had
ever lost in a single year since the
'sport was inaugurated on the
campus in 1910.
Quakers Drop
Hoopmen,6l-58
The University of Pennsylvania
snapped the lid down hard ,on
Penn State's basketball season
Wednesday night, as it nipped the
Lions 61-58 at Philadelphia's
Palestra.
In losing, the Lions finished the
season with 14 wins and nine
losses, while the victorious
Quakers have won 18 out of 26
games.
Lion Captain Lou Lamie drop
ped 11 points through the hoop,
bringing his one-year total to 319
points and his threeryear total to
666. Against West Virginia, Mon
day, Lamie became the first cager
in, Penn State history to score
over 300 points in a single season.
Sparking the Quaker's winning
attack was their hard-working re
bound artist. Ernie Beck. The 6-
foot 3-inch pivotman hit on 50
per cent of his shots for 25 points
to lead the scoring parade. Hardy
Williams, playing before home
town fans, was the Lions most
serious threat, scoring 12 points.
Williams made good on six out of
ten tries.
