Starting Posts
By 808 VOSBURG
Penn State’s varsity boxing
team will finally get its 1952 sea
son underway tonight when it
appears in Washington, D.C. for
a belated dale with Catholic Uni
versity.
Coach Eddie Sulkowski will be
depending on three lettermen and
a trio of promising sohomores to
lead the Lions past a Catholic U.
team which has already dropped
its opener to Virginia, 5%-2%. -
.C The returning lettermen in
clude the Lion’s two Eastern
champions, Captain Johnny Al
barano at 147 pounds and Lou
Koszarek at .165, and junior, class
man Sammy Marino at 125. Al
barano and Koszarek are seniors.
Five Veterans
The untried sophomores, break
ing into the State lineup for the
first time, are Tony Flore at 139
pounds, Adam Kois. at .178, and
heavyweight Dave Yeakel.
Hounding out the squad will be a
pair of juniors, Joe Reynolds at
132, and Gerry Spotts at 156.
Little is known of the strength
of ■ the Catholic U. team, except
that it lost to the Virginians and
that the power of the team lies
with five veterans Joe. Walsh,
John Cronin, Joe Incarnato, Mor
ris Reumont and Cliff Sisler—
who rank among the top inter
collegiate boxers in the southern
area.
Reynolds vs Cronin
In the 125-pound opener, Mar
ino will meet Walsh, who won a
decision in the Virginia meet.
Sam, who finished last season
with. a 3-3-1 mark decisioned
Walsh in their previous meeting.
"..Reynolds at 132 pounds will go
against Cronin, who lost a deci
sion to his Cavalier opponent.
Reynolds, although not a letter
man, fought at 125 pounds for
the Lions in 1950, winning one
and losing one.
"At 139 pounds, Coach Sulkow
ski is sending Flore in to fill the
shoes of last year’s. Eastern and
national runnerup, Frank Gross,
and'the young Pittsburgher will
have his hands full against the
experienced Incarnato. Incarnato,
who reached the semi-finals in
last season’s Eastern tournament
before losing to Gross, lost a de
cision in the Virginia meet.
Tough Opponent
>Captain Albarano will meet an
other cagey veteran in the 147-
pound clash in C.U.’s Reumont;
John, who besides capturing the
Eastern crown, chalked up a 5-2
dual-meet record last year, took
a .decision, from Reumont in last
season’s meet. Reumont deci
sioned his Virginia opponent.
■Spotts, filling, the. 156-pound
spot, vacated by last year’s Cap
tain Pat Heims, will be meeting a
tough' opponent in Dick Trumper. i
Trumper held Virginia’s classy
Captain Pete Potter to a draw in a ;
match which Potter was expected
to; win easily.
At 165 pounds, the rugged. Kos- •
zarek meets Sisler, who is termed
“the best boxer, on Catholic Uni- ,
versity’s squad.” Lou was the
only Lion who went through last ■
season’s dual meet schedule un- ]
defeated, although held to two
draws. He drew with Sisler in
last year’s meet.
First Test
-In the 178-pound class, Kois
wUI attempt to plug what has
been a weak spot in the: Lions
lineup. The hard-hitting soph will
take on Ken Outer who was
TKO’d by his Virginia opponent.
Another weak spot—since the
departure of Chuck Drazenovich,
the heavyweight post, may also
have been ably strengthened-by
Yeakel. Dave will meet his first
varsity test against Pete Carson,
who was also TKO’d by a Vir
ginian.
.'Coach Sulkowski expressed the
opinion that the boys would do
well against Catholic U. “The
meet will probably go as the new
boys go,” he said. “We can just
about count on our veterans to
win,” he said, “but we’ll be look
ing to the new fellows to pull us
through.” - ■ ..

Two Records Set
As Thirtdads Lose
Two field, house records were broken at West Point Saturday
when a powerful Army track team swept to a 73-36 triumph over
Penn State’s thinclads. Cadet Dick Shea set a new mark of,4:10 in
the mile, while State’s Bob Roessler eclipsed the 1000 yard standard
with a time 0f'2:14.9.
Oddly, enough, both men had to break the existing records in
•order to win as the second place
finishers tied the old marks. In
the mile Bill Ashenfelter led Shea
for more than three-quarters of
the' race but couldn’t hold off
Shea’s last lap drive. Ash’s time
equalled the old 4:13.7 record set
by Shea last year.

By FRED SINGER
Bob Roessler, running a front
race all the way, had just enough
left to hold off a stretch drive by
Army’s Charles Brown in the
1000 yard run. Roessler broke a
record which had been held joint
ly by Frank Gurley of Harvard
and Ted Crichton of Army.
Brown’s time of 2:15 was a tenth
of a second behind Roessler,
equalling the previous record. .
State had three other victor
ies—the two-mile relay, and the
high-jump and shot put. Fresh
man Roosevelt Grier won the shot
put with a heave of 48 feet 9 and
three quarter inches, and Jim
Herb repeated his victory of last
year with a jump of six feet two
inches to take the highjump.

Maryland, 22-8
Taking up where they left off two weeks ago with a. 20. 5 victory
over Pitt, Penn State wrestlers overcame a surprisingly -strong
Maryland mat team-22-8 Saturday night below the Mason-Dixon, 'to
continue unbeaten. ■
Instead of the expected cakewalk, the. Lions encountered .'their
toughest scrap of the season before earmarking win - number', 'four
on-the year and 15th consecutive
triumph since 1950.
■Maryland’s -.-. supposedly easy
matmeii- showed Tittle Southern
hospitality as they took two bouts
from the - Nittanies, which along
with their eight point, total score,
was better than ;; any other team
had done all year.-

Lemyre Wins 4th

cision- wins by- stopping Mary

4:04. • •
Nittany - sophomore Dick Le
myre. gained his ; fourth straight
win in as; convincing a manner
as the, other three. Lbmyre’s 6-0
decision over Dick Crowley at 130
pounds was his second shutout
victory in a row on top of a pin
and a 6-1 verdict. -
Samson. Wins Again
Don Frey continued to barrel
unchecked along the dual meet
wrestling route with a 5-1 decis
ion over Terp 147 pounder Joel
Adleberg. Don’s 12th straight dual
win and fourth of . the season
would have been' a shutout ex
cept for a penalty point scored
against him. for locking his hands
illegally.
Hud Samson had his : run of
two straight falls - halted by Mary
lander - Jack Shanahan but kept
his first varsity, season "record un
blemished with a 6-0 win in the
177 pound bracket.

turned to the - lineup, for State

Pitt meet, ■ and scored a startling
upset by pinning. Maryland ace
Bob' Fischer in'2:o4. Unbeaten for
two years, Fischer quickly took
down Doug who as quickly re
versed.. Trying.- to-escape, Fischer
was suddenly caught by Frey in
a cradle and stood on his shoulder
for a fall.
