The 1951 IM boxing tourney got underway yesterday with a
ten-match opening round card, including eight first round fraternity
scraps and two initial round independent fights.
Normon Alpert and Mike Bassarik, both of Phi Kappa Tau,
moved up in their respective divisions. Alpert started fast and then
hung on to get the nod over Dick
McDonough, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
in a 135-pound fraternity fight,
while Bassarik finished up with
a flurry and ousted Delta Sigma
Phi's Ned Shields in the 155-
pound class.
Upstead, Spacht Win
Last year's fraternity 165-pound
champ, Dick Cameron, Beta The
ta Pi, fighting in a new weight
class for this year's tourney,
found the larger 175-pound class
to his liking and eliminated Ralph
Heister, Pi Kappa Alpha. The
smaller Cameron dropped Heis
ter twice, once on a long over
hand
right at the bell in the first
and once on a short, chopping
right to the chin in the third.
Two 165-pound fraternity bat
tles were fought, with Mike Up
stead, Phi. Gamma Delta, and John
Spacht, Alpha Zeta, both advanc
ing on decisions. Upstead caught
Dean Davidson, Sigma Phi Alpha,
midway in the third and final
round with a looping left jab
which turned the tide of the even
battle. Spacht outfought the tall
er Joe Rynewica, Phi Kappa, to
gain the first round victory.
Grove Outlasts Arnold
Carlton Corson, Pi Kappa Phi,
won an abbreviated contest, the
only one of the card, as referee
Glenn Hawthorne stopped the
fight at 1:15 of the second round

bout of the card found Phi Delta
Theta's Pete Huey scoring an im
pressive three round decision over

stocky Phi Delt swarmed all over

get the nod.

were fought in the 135-pound
class. Charles Golightly outpoin
ted Robert Philippbar in a close
contest and Glenn Freshcorn ad

Jeffrey Adds Five Wins
To Long Victory List
Soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey added five more wins to his long list
of conquests this year, his 26th as head of the State team.
Jeffrey's overall record with Penn State now reads 144 wins,
21 losses, and 26 ties. In addition to the five wins this season, the
soccermen also tied two opponents (Navy and Temple) and lost to
one (Army).
These three clubs seem to make a habit of giving the Nittany
Lions the most trouble. Of the 21
losses suffered by State, this trio
has inflicted 15. Navy is the lead
ing conspirator, having beaten
State six times. Army follows with
five wins while Temple's Owls
have defeated State on four. occa
sions.
This trio has also dealt one
third of the 26 ties to Penn State.
Temple has four to its credit,
Navy three, and the Cadets two.
State's 5-1-2 log this year made
it the seventh time in succession
that Jeffrey has enjoyed a better
than-.500 year. The last time' State
fell below the .500 mark was
during the war years when sports
were at a' low ebb. State won
three and dropped four in 1944.
Winning Streak Ended
State recently ran up a winning
streak ,of 21 games, beginning in
1948 with a ,win over Maryland,
and ending last year with a 1-0
overtime loss to West Chester.
Before the war years marred
State's soccer record, Jeffrey's
clubs' were practically unbeatable.
The Lions were unbeaten in 65
consecutive matches. The streak
started Nov. 19. 1932 with a 2-1
win over Army, and ended with
1-0 loss to the same club at West
Point, Nov. 15, 1941.
Four of Penn State's first five
football games in 1952 will be
played at home. The Lions will
open against Temple Sept. 20,
play Purdue and William Sc Mary
on the next two Saturdays, then
go to West Virginia before meet
ing Nebraska at home. Rutgers
will play here Nov. 15.
Boxing Candidates
Freshmen and sophomores
who wish to tryout for the var
sity boxing team will report
to the boxing ring in Recfea
tion Hall at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Caldwell Asks
Stiffer Penalties
For Rough Plejy
PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 27
—(EP)—As an aftermath of the
rocking Princeton-Dartmouth
game in which All-America
halfback Dick Kazmaier suf
fered a broken nose, Prince
ton's coach, Charlie Caldwell
today urged sterner penalties
for unnecessary roughness.
"Fifteen yards is a cheap
assessment for slugging, kick
ing and other flagrant viola
tions," the mi 1 d-mannered
coach of the Nassau Tigers
said. "What do 15 yards mean
to a team if it can get the
star player of the other side
out of the game?
"I intend to recommend that
we restore the old penalty of
half the distance to the goal
line for such , infractions, and
that such a violation bring
automatic ejection from th e
game."
Caldwell said he was re
ferring to college games gen
erally and not the rough and
tumble fray Saturday 'at
Princeton in which 12 players
on both teams had to be help
ed off the field and . two suf
fered major injuries.
Kazmaier went out with a
mild concussion and a broken
nose after throwing a pass •in
the second period. Dartmouth's
quarterback Jim Miller got a
broken leg.
Caldwell said he hadn't
viewed pictures of the game
yet and wouldn't like to com
ment on it since "it would
only add fuel to the fire, and,
besides, football has enough
troubles anyway."
H. R. "Ike" Gilbert, who suc
ceeded Neil Fleming as graduate
manager of athletics in 1947, now
is in his 26th year at Penn State.
Ends 26th Year . . .

Lion Harriers
Finally Drop •
A Close Meet
By JAKE HIGHTON
Each successive championship
meet Penn State cross country
runners have won got closer and
closer, so the failure of the Lions
to win a second straight and
third-in-history national x-coun
try title was' probably inevitable.
Last year in winning the
NCAA title. State had a 53-55
margin. Then ten days ago the
Lions won the IC4A "crown by
only one point, 67-68.
In Monday's NCAA champion
ships State was, so far ahead that
before the race was over , NittanY
Coach Chick Werner was receiv
ing congratulations.
71 Instead of 5
Lamont Smith, who was run
ning fifth, suddenly collapsed
and Werner's "nightmare" began.
Assistant do ac h Norm Gordon
pleaded with Smitty -to even walk
the last "40 or 50" yards to the
finish. Smitty's spirit was willing,
but his body was exhausted. He
couldn't even crawl across the
finish 30 places later —wh i c h
still would have given State the
team victory.
Instead of adding only five
points if Smith had finished in
fifth place, the Lions had to count
71 points for their fifth man =
Jim Hamill, who crossed the final
marker in 71st place. Thus the
Lion harriers lost the meet.
If Smith had finished fifth,
State would have beaten Syra
cuse by a 61-84 score—the exact
25-point margin by which the
Lions trimmed the Orange in the
IC4A's.
Goes All Out
Werners' post race epitome of
Smith is "great but green." The
Lion mentor added, "Smith com
bines the greatest inexperience
wi t h the greatest recklessness
and courage found in any ath
lete."
Smith runs every race "all
out." Against Pitt and Cornell he
won. At the IC4A's he ended
fourth to practically ensure the
title for State. Against Michigan
State he gave out at the finish.
At Army he gave out a half mile
from' home and at the nationals
about 50 yards away he "ran
himself out." He had nothing left
to hold himself up with.
Definitely not an individual
glory seeking star, Smith 'j us t
hasn't learned to combine pace
with his strength and courage.
He is in great shape as five min
utes after the race he was as
fresh as anyone.
Ash Sacrifices
Heroes of what would have
been an outstanding triumph
were Bill Ashenfelter, Red Hol-
e 4.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28,':1951
before Christmas., Besides Ithaca,
they will play Bucknell at home,
Dec. 12, and Washington & Jeff
erson at Washington, Pa., Dec. 15.
Five Lettermen
Five returning lettermen boost
the squad and will probably form
the starting array. Of . the five,
Co-captains Hardy Williams and
Jay "Tiny" McMahan were reg
ulars last season. Chet "Whitey"
Makarewicz, Herm Sledzik, and
Joe Piorkowski are other mono
gram winners.
Thus far in „practice sessions,
the starting five has been Wil
liams,. and Piorkowski, guards;
McMahan, center; and Sledzik
and Makarewicz, at the forward
positions. This team averages six
feet, four inches. McMahan is the
big man of the team at six feet,
seven inches. Makarewicz is six
feet six, Sledzik, six-four, Pior
kowski, six-three, and Williams,
the smallest at six feet even.
Despite its size, the team has
utilized a fast break in practice
games. Gross believes the team
has enough height, and is a faster
club than in the past few years.
"The boys go so fast they make
a lot of mistakes, but they will
provide more action and better
games for the spectators," the
quiet mentor said.
Win Four Scrimmages
The Lions have won four prac
tice games and lost one. They de
feated St. Francis, Lock Haven,
Juniata, and Lycoming, but lost
rto St. Francis on the St. Francis
court. Against Lycoming they
scored over 100 points.
Up until now Ronny -Weiden
hammer, Ed Haag, and Jim Block
er have been the top reserves.
Weidenhammer is a freshman
from Kutztown, where he was
All-State for two years and star
of last year's Class B champion
ship team. Haag is a sophomore
from California State Teachers
College. He's six-two, and was a
regular at the Teachers College
last seasonA Blocker is a six foot,
three inch freshman from Phila
delphia.
Two football players, Jesse Ar
nelle and Jack Sherry, joined
the team,_ this week. Arnelle, a
six-five freshman from New Bo=
chelle, N.Y.,' wa s All-State.
Sherry played on' the ,freshman
team last season, and is' a poten
tially high scorer. ••Tiro other
freshmen who are battling for top
ten positions are Frank DeSalle of
Monaca, and Jim Hill of Am
bridge. DeSalle is six-one, and
Hill six-five. George "Dbby"
Lynch, another member of last
year's team, is the' 13th man on
the squad. ,
len, Dud Foster, and Jack Hor
ner,
Leading three quarters of the
way, Ash sacrificed a chance for
individual runnerup honors when,
over t h e,last 600 yards, he
dropped back to encourage Smit
ty on, finally finishing fourth.
Hollen in 17th place, Captain
Foster in 21st and Homer in 26th
position ran,• according to Wer
ner, "the best race of their Hires."
