bail banquet when the selections

Kiley Top Man
Of a possible 35 points, Kiley,
Mestrovic, Workman, and Beck
received that number to tie for
the top spot as far as the first
string positions were concerned.

the other two first-place votes.

Hot Against Lions
Kiley, captain of the Syracuse

wins over the Lions, scoring 18
and 17 points in the two contests.

floorman, the Orange captain was
instrumental in breaking up Penn
State zone defense in the two
games.

from W&J, garnered votes from
each of the seven voting letter
men, although he played in only
one game against the Lions. In
t hat game, the Prexie forward
dropped in 26 points to lead the

only one game against State but
his scoring and backboard work
so impressed the Lions that he
too was a unanimous choice.

Workman, 6-foot 9-inch West
Virginia center, proved to be one
of the top scorers in the country
and against the Lions he tossed
in 40 points in two games.
Alton's board and floor work
earned him a tie with Scanlon
for the fifth position. Scanlon
played only on e game against

4 Lion Boxers
Stepup Workouts
For NCAA Meet
Four Nittany Lion boxers are
going into their final week of
preparation today for the NCAA
tournament to be held April 5-7,
in East Lansing, Michigan. Penn
State's version of the Big Four
are Sam Marino, 125-lb. sopho
more; Frank Gross, 135-lb. senior;
John Albarano, 145-Ib. j4nior;
and Lou Koszarek, 165-Ib. junior.
Albarano and Koszarek are
Penn State's two Eastern cham
pions, while Gross is the current
runnerup. The four have been
working out since the close of the
IBA's in Charlottesville, Va. early
this month.. The IBA's marked
the close of the boxing season for
the rest of the squad.
For Albarano and Gross the
tournament will be the second
quest for national titles, the two
having taken part in last year's
tourney held in Rec hall.
Lost To Champ
Boxing at 135-lbs. last year,
Albarano byed into the semi
finals, and then was decisioned
by Pacific coast champ, Everett
Conley. Conley went on to win
the title by decisioning Paul Kos
topoulos of Maryland.
Gross, last year's 145-er, lost
out in the quarter-finals when
Washington State's Eldon Long
decisioned him. Long eventually
lost to Idaho's champion, Leon
ard Walker.
Koszarek, last year's regular at
155-lbs., was replaced in the tour
nament by this year's captain,
Pat Heims, who upset the do
pesters and went on to finish
runnerup behind Eli Thomas of
Gonzaga university.
Forced To Quit
Bent on revenge in the IBA's
early this month, Marino was
forced to bow out of the running
when his left eyelid was cut in
the second round of his quarter
final bout with Virginia's Len
Coiner. Coiner went on to win
the title from Syracuse's Jim
Hub a.
Marino's dual-meet record was
3-3-1. His opposition for the com
ing tourney looks especially
tough. Am on g other bantam
weights around for the NCAA's
will be Minnesota's Neil Ofsthun,
who holds a decision over Ma
rino.
The Lion ringmen leave for
East Lansing by train from Al
toona Tuesday night and expect
to arrive at the tournament site
in time for a light workout on
Wednesday. The bouts are sched
uled for Thursday afternoon and
night, and Friday and Saturday
nights.

Edinboro, Tekes Capture
Intramural Cage Crowns

capture the fraternity basketball championship last week by a score
of 32-30. The fast-stepping Edinboro five won the independent title
by crushing the Ridge Runners,
49-19,
The fraternity contest proved
to be one of the tightest intra
mural court battles ever wit
nessed in Rec hall. The score was
deadlocked tat the end of the first
eight-minute quarter, 6-6, at half
time, 13-13, and Phi Kappa held
a 21-20 margin at the three-quar

From this point TKE rallied to
a 29-25 lead, then held on as Phi

the Tekes. Goodell bucketed five
field goals and two charity tosses
for 12 markers to pace the win

three from the floor combined
with 10 out of 18 foul shots (a
new record) for 16 points to lead

places Sigma Pi as the fraternity
basketball champion. The win
ners reached the semi-finals of
last year's playoffs but were
eliminated by Alpha Phi Alpha.
The Ridge Runners were never
in the game as the Edinboro
squad used the fast-break •a n d
long-court pass offense to com
pletely overwhelm their smaller
opponents. The victors led at
halftime, 22-10.
Dick Beynon was the point
producing star for Edinboro as
he sunk five field goals and
three free tosses for a 13-point
total.
