PAGE SIX Lions Host West Va. Tonight Capers Seek Repeat Win Over Mark Workman and Big Mark Workman will head the West Virginia Moun taineers in their invasion of Rec Hall at 8 tonight. The West Virginians will seek a turnabout of a 61-60 decision handed them in Morgantown last month by the Lions. Since the State defeat the Mountaineers have been un beatable and have a 21-2 record. This week's Associated Press basketball poll listed them tenth in the nation. Workman, six - nine - center, missed two weekend games with Clemson but is expected to re turn to action against the Lions tonight. He will probably wear a special mask to protect his fractured cheekbone, black eye, badly bruised cheek, and chipped tooth which he suffered in a game with Washington and Lee last week. Walloped NYU The All-American center has had a great season. He has scored 520 points in 21 games for an average of 24.7 per game. Last winter the skyscraper star ranked second in major college scoring with a 26.1 average. This season he cracked the school's career total of 1009 points. One of West Virginia's top ac complishments of the campaign is its 100-75 walloping of New York University in Madison Square Garden. Workman had 24 points in the outburst, and teammate Harry "Moo" Moore had 26 to snap NYU's 12 game winning streak. Because of this amazing per formance and• the. probability that they will win the Southern Conference championship the Mountaineers may go to the NCAA tournament. • Mountaineer Starters Gangling Workman has had some other outstanding per formances this season. He made 36 points against Niagara, 37 in the Richmond contest, and 30 tallies against Maryland. Other .starters for Coach Red Brown are Captain Jim Coalter (6-5), Jack Shockey (6-2), Ken Alessi (5-7), and Moore (6-2). Ed Becker (6-0) is one of the top reserves. Mac Isner, a soph omore,- sees plenty of action. Coach Elmer Gross' quintet hopes to rebound from three suc cessive defeats, two in overtime. The Lion dribblers• will also seek to tie another school record. If they can win tonight's battle it would give them 18 wins for the season and tie the total win mark established by the 1941-42 quintet. Every Point a Record Jesse Arnelle, six-five fresh man ace, will get the job of stop ping Workman. Amelia had 30 points against Syracuse Saturday and has 400 for the season. He has averaged 26 in his last six games. In their first meeting at Mor gantown, Arnelle held Workman to 13 points . while getting 14 himself. Every point the New Rochelle, N.Y. phenom gets will be a new State record since he has already broken the one sea son scoring mark. Gross will probably stick with his usual starting lineup of Jack Williams at the guards; •Arnelle, center, and Herm Sledzik and Joe Piorkowski, forwards. Ron Weidenhammer, Co-captain Tiny McMahan and Ed Haag will see heavy duty. After tonight's game the Lions have only two remaining con tests—a home game with Pitt Saturday, and a trip to Buck nell, March 8. Strict{kind Signs PITTSBURGH, Feb. 26—(AP)---- Shortstop George Strickland re turned his signed 1952 contract to the Pittsburgh Pirates today. Fourteen Bucs still remain un signed.

ACE Thinks Own Program- Is Competent WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (R)— The American Council of Edu ciation told Congress today that it feels its own recommendations will go far toward cleaning up college sports. The councils' attitude was ex pressed in a letter from President Arthur S. Adams to the House rules committee. The committee is considering a proposal to in vestigate sports, including inter collegiate athletics. "Since the rules committee is considering, the need for a study of athletics," Adams wrote in a letter made public by the coun cil, ''it has occurred to me that you may be interested in know ing what'educational organiza tions themselves are doing to im prove the conduct of intercol legiate sports." Adams mentioned the special committee named by the council and the report it submitted. This is the report that calls for strict controls on recruiting and subsi dizing .and a ban on all spring football practice and post-season: bowl games. Adams didn't come right out and tell the rules committee that he feels a congressional investi gation would be pointless. But he 'did say the council feels the colleges can do the job them selves.. 3 More 1M Cage Squads Win Titles ' Pi Kappa Alpha, Trace A.C., and the Foresters won the cham pionships of their respective IM cage leagues Monday night by bolting past their last regularly scheduled opponents.

PENNSYLVANIA Atbarano, Koszarek Form. Lion Co. 'Gold Dust Twins' Combination Kentucky Five Selected' No. I For sth Week NEW YORK, Feb. 26—(A)---The University ,of Kentucky, already champions of th e Southeastern Conference, heads into tourna ment play- Thursday and victory as expected would cement for Coach Adolph Frederick Rupp's club rating as the season's No. 1 basketball team. Penn. State was not mentioned this. week. For the fifth week in a row, Kentucky was ranked on top of the cage heap today in the twelfth weekly nationwide poll of the As sociated Press Tops in '49, '5O Next week's poll will be 'the final one of the season, and if Kentucky g oes through the South eastern Conference tournament all victorious, Rupp's mighty men undoubtedly will be rated No. 1 again. This would make Kentucky the No. 1 outfit for three of the four seasons that the AP poll of sports writers and sportscasters has been conducted. Kentucky was voted the to p team in 1949 and 1951. In 1950, when Bradley won the No. 1 honors, Kentucky finished No. 3 with Ohio State No. 2. • Regains Lead In the 12 previous polls this season, Kentucky was the No. 1 team seven times. Kentucky was No. 1 Dec. 10 in the first poll, dropped to No. 2 behind St. John's in the second: Then Kentucky met and massacred St. John's, and moved back into the No. 1 spot—but only briefly. St. Louis hung a one-point defeat on Ken tucky in the Sugar Bowl Tourna ment, and Kansas took over as the top team three weeks' in a row. When Kansas faltered, Illi nois was No. 1 for the week, and Kentucky dropped to No. 3. But Kentucky regained the No. 1 ranking Jan. 29, and has stayed there since. Batts Eager To Make Good With Detroit LAKELAND, Fla., Feb. 26—(A') —Matt Batts, eager to "show the Red Sox" they booted one by let. ting him go, is happy to,be with Detroit and hopes to land the No. 1 catching job. The onetime Boston second stringer came to Detroit from St. Louis about 10 days ago in a seven-man swap. But he spent his entire career with the Red Sox organization until they shunted him to the Browns last May. "I felt pretty bad when the Red Sox let me go. Sort- of in sulted. But maybe it was the break I was waiting for. • "In Boston I was in the back ground to Birdie Tebbetts most of the time. When he went, they acided they wanted 'a ready made call player and got ,Les Moss from St. Louis for me. When I went over to St. Louis I hit about .407 against the Red Sox. It was a wonderful feeling but it would be even better to do it with this club." Going To Have Spirit 'The 28-year-old Texan f r o'm San Antonio said he alin.ost•signed with Detroit out of high school in '42. But the Tiger scout didn't match the money the Sox offered. "I already had about. 10 days of spring training with - the BroWns. That Hornsby (Manager Rogers Hornsby) is going to have good spirit and hustle on that club. I sort of 7tnew what Horns by was going to tell me when he called me in to tell me about the trade." Traded for Moss Brooklyn's famed "gold dust twins" combination of Pete Reiser and Pee-Wee Reese had nothing on a pair of Penn State boxers, Captain John Albarano and Lou Koszarek, when it• comes to tieing alike.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1952 By 808 VOSBURG lines, up to the present time, these two have been operating like carbon copies. Lou and Johnny met while the former as captain and guard of Portage High School's football team and the latter as captain and guard of Lilly High School's football team were throwing blocks at each other. Freshmen at Altoona ii!MilliCiiiiiil Johnny who was graduated in 1947, was a three letter man in football and a four year man in basketball, captaining the team for two years. Lou, on the other hand, was a three letter man in football and was the discuss man on the track 'team. When the two enrolled at Penn State, they both, in keeping with tradition, were sent to the Al toona center for their freshman year. The boys had no oppor tunity to continue their athletic careers at Altoona where there were no varsity sports. In coming to the campus in their sophomore years both boys went out for the boxing team, and both proceeded to win first string assignments. Lou Started at 155 Fighting at 135-pounds, Johnny did the better of the two in the sophomore campaign, winning four, losing one, and tying one. He reached the semi-finals - of the national tourney at Rec Hall before losing to the eventual champ, Everett Conley of Wash ington State. Lou broke in as ,a 155-pounder and shifted between that and the 165-pound class, winning three, losing two and drawing one. His big achievements were a win over Syracuse's Jim Pal miotto and a draw with Joe Miragliotto of Virginia. Last year, the tide was turned when Koszarek posted the better record, moving through. seven bouts, losing none and tying two, while Albarano dropped' two matches in seven outings. Eastern Champions Not to be outdone by the other, however, both boys won 'Eastern championships, with Johnny beating John Pardee' of Syia cuse for the 155-pound title and Lou besting Bill Mahar of Cath olic U. for the 165-pound crown. This year so far, Johnny has won three while losing one, and Lou has split in four bouts. Johnny cites his biggest thrill in intercollegiate boxing' as being named as captain of this year's team, while Lou jokingly says that he hasn't had his biggest thrill ) as yet. Face Army Careers . Both boys pick Syracuse men as their toughest opponents, with John picking Ben Dolphin and Lou naming Joe Palmiotto. Lou does, however, say that Wiscon sin's Dick Murphy is among the tops he had met. As one might expect both boys look to the same , careers after graduation. The Army- will be their first job, with Johnny re ceiving a commission through his lieutenant-colonel rating in ROTC. Then both want to go into engineering and coach boxing on the side, Lou as an industrial engineer and Johnny as a mining engineer. Lou' says his greatest ambition is to travel throughout the coun try with a boxing team of his own, . while Johnny hopes to coach at some small college. There's one t big interest that Johnny has that Lou hasn't. This is a family orchestra in which John and his father, play the trumpet, his sisters play an ac cordian .and drums, and his bro ther plays the clarinet,
