TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1952 _. , • 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.

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.

COLTON Assistant Sports Editor. Move to 13th :asketball Poll Penn State advanced in the As sociated Press basketball poll this week, moving from 17th to 13th. The Lion cagers, with a 17-1 rec ord, received a total of 91 .points, and one first place vote. Kentucky's tremendous basket ball team, already assured of a berth in the NCAA post season tournament and virtually certain of a spot in the National Invi tation, was named for the fifth straight week as the top college team in the country today. The Southeastern Conference champions, winners of 16 straight and owners of an overall record of 22-2, were listed first on 36 ballots. In all, 104 sports writers and sportscasters from coast to coast participated in the Associ ated Press poll. There was no change from last week's top ten except for some shifting of positions. lowa an d Illinois moved up a notch, Wash ington gained two places as did Kansas. St. John's rose from 10th to eighth as a result of its tri umph over St. Bonaventure, which dropped from fourth to 10th. St. Louis fell from seventh to ninth.

BEAVER THE DAILY• C.OLLEGTMN., §TtB.l7, COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA • 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 By 808 VOSBURG Marino, Coulter Draw Start Slow Koszarek Loses Ropes Slop Falling Heavy LION HEAVYWEIGHT Dave Yeakel sags into the ropes follow ing a barrage of blows from Syracuse Captain George Kartalian in the final bout of Saturday night's meet. Referee Vic DeFilipo seen rushing to Yeakel's aid stopped the fight at this point after 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. don't \ ' . 1 throw."-:s7?- 4 ;: . money in the _ .
