Between the Lions
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RHODE ISLAND STATE - ARMY TRIP.
. Penn State's remarkable court winning streak has not gone
mnoticed , Among the New England - New York area papers with
writeups about the Lions were the Providence Evening Bulletin, The
Boston Evening Globe, and The New York Times.
A caricature of Jesse Arnelle in the Evening News caused quite
a flurry among his teammates . . . Jess' comment on the drawing
was, "that's a little bit all right."
On the train rides to New Haven, Conn., and. Kingston, R. 1.,
Joe iPiorkowski entertained with a music box he received as a
valentine gift from his girl . . . Chet Makarewicz spent much of his
time studying Shakespeare . . .
Makarewicz, co-captain Hardy Williams, and Jim "Lester"
Blocker were the intellects on the trip . . . Blocker practiced his ,
Spanish on waitresses.
Coach Elmer Gross and trainer Chuck Medlar kidded Arnelle
after the Rhode Island game for scoring "only"
18 points. "Hardy (Williams) has to take over
when the going gets tough," the Lion mentor
quipped. "But coach, he's a senior—l'm only a
freshman," Arnelle returned.
Bob Rohland, won the sleeping and letter writ
ing championships. The six=three freshman is a
football end and only joined the traveling squad
after the first semester.
Jack Sherry, native Philadelphian, pointed out the highlights
of the city as the train passed. Sherry is anxiously awaiting the
Penn battle ... Jay McMahan caught the attention of the West Point
crowd with. his unorthodox hook shot . . . An elevator operator
asked Tiny how the weather was up there. The co-captain replied,
"Fine, how's it down there?"
Ed Haag taunted Herm Sledzik about the big city of New York.
Sledzik lives in Clune, a small town in Western Pennsylvania, 'so
his bUddies jokingly. showed him a subway . . . Many former Staters
from the 112th Air Squadron were at the Rhode Island State game
... Among those cheering for the Lions were Paul Friese, ski captain;
Herb Krueger, Lion Party stalwart; Bob Schooley, ex-Collegian
senior boarder; and Charley Wilson, letterman end and heavyweight
boxer.

orary 46-45 lead. A minute later,
Arnelle made a one hand tap-in
for his 17th tally of the game and
a record breaking seasonal to
tal of 320.
Army's dimunitive set shot
artist, Kent Poore, sparked the
Cadets' last surge as they battled
to a 56-56 deadlock with five
minutes left in the third quarter.
Reserve strength paid divi
dends for State at this point. Mc-
Mahan and sophomore Ed Haag
broke the contest wide open as
they each made four field goals
within five minutes. McMahan
amazed the crowd with his ac
curate one-hand push and set
shots. Haag, Crafton newcomer,
drove through Army's defenses
to score on jump shots.

Ringmen Lose Crucial
As Unbeaten Syracuse
Penn State's luckless boxing
team came within two draw
matches of upsetting unbeaten
Syracuse Saturday night, only to
wind up the Orangemen's third
straight victim, 5-3.
Could a pair of draws in cru
cial bouts have been stretched
into victories, the Lions might
have captured" their biggest prize
of the season. Instead, that little
bit of a break, which has been
eluding them all season, was miss
ing again, and the result was de
feat.
The ' tone of each of the two
draws was different. Sammy Mar
ino in the 125 pound bout had to
come from behind in the last
round to tie, whereas Adam Kois,
in the 178-pound match, built up
an early lead only to lose it in
the late rounds.
'Marino and Tommy Coulter
battled to an even 10-10 first
round, and then Coulter, concen
trating his attack to the body
pulled away to a point lead in
the second. In the third round,
Sammy turned on the heat, rely
ing mostly on' his straight left
hand to do the job.
Mahar Cops Second
Kois, fighting Whitey Mahar,
who moved down from the heavy
weight spot, looked as if he aimed
to run away with the match in
the first rou n d, and on the
strength of his sledge-hammer
blows shot to a 10-8 lead.
In the second and third rounds
Mahar let loose a few stinging
blows of his own, and caught Kois
with enough of them to erase the
lead.
Old reliable Johnny Albarano
and fast improving Tony Flore
scored • decisive wins over pre
viously unbeaten opposition.
Albarano, Eastern 145-p ound
king, ran his consecutive win
streak over a two year span to
five with a 29-28. victory over
freshman Gus Fiacco.
Both boys started cautiously
and spent most of the first round
feeling each other out. But in the
second Johnny opened up and
landed well with both hands. Al
barano was awarded the first two
rounds by 10-9 scores. In the third
both boys landed squarely with
Fiacco getting the nod, 10-9, and
falling short by a point.
Fiore p e r f o r m e d the best
of any' of the Lion s. He met
previously u n b e at en Johnny
Granger in the 139-pound bout,
and treated the Syracuse frosh
to his first loss. Tony looked
extremely good in the in-fighting
scoring mostly to the body, and
though he tired toward the end,
scored sufficiently to take a 30-28
decision, and put the Lions ahead
2 1 / 2 to 1 1 / 2 .
The Lions' biggest disappoint
ment of the evening came in the
165-pound bout where Eastern
165-pound champ Lou Koszarek
was detached from a win streak
he began in 1950 by 155-pound
champ, Bill Miller, who moved
up a weight.
Laz LeMon, fighting his first
varsity bout in the 156-pound
class, gave the large Rec Hall
crowd a thrill by completely baf
fling Vince Rigolosi, a regular 165-
pounder, in the first round. Laz,
however, tired very badly in the
second round, and with his speed
went his advantage, and though
Rigolosi also tired he managed
to land enough for a 29-28 win.
In the 132-pound bout, classy
Art Nelson battered a willing but

1:40 of the first round. The Lion boxers lost to the Orange, 5.3.
Sinkers Maui
For Fifth IM
The Sinkers, looking more impressive with each game, smashed
the Mercuries, 55-29, Friday night to raise the eyebrows of Dorm 36,
Dorm 23, and the Hawks, other top contenders in the red hot IM
cage League J race.
John McAvoy paced the winners with 19 points as the Sinkers
raced to their fifth win in six starts. Their only loss was by forfeit
to Dorm 23 in the first game of
the season. Since then, the Sink
ers have rolled over all their
League J opponents, including
Dorm 36, leading the league with
a 6-1 slate. The Sinkers are tied
for second place with Dorm 23
and the Hawks at the present,
but look like the team to beat
for the League J crown.
Dorm 36 gained its half-game
lead by tripping the Alcoholics,
24-13. The winners need only to
beat Dorm 24, 2-4, Feb. 29, to as
sure themselves of a tie for first
place. Dorm 23, led by Bob Rot
house's 10 points, notched its
fifth victory by smacking the
Foxes, 35-15. The Hawks remain
ed very much in the league race
by dumping Simmons Hall, 25-21.
Palmerton, undefeated leader
of League K, was idle but four
other league games were played.
Dorm 41 moved to within two
games of Palmerton by handing
wild Sam Butler hard and often
against the ropes, and after tak
ing a 10-8 first round was award
ed a TKO victory after 40 seconds
of the second round. It was But
ler's first varsity fight.
In the heavyweight match it
was just too much George Karta
lian for Lion Dave Yeakel, when
the Syracuse captain began con
necting from the start and didn't
let up until the bout was halted
after 1:40 of the first.
