4 Full Teams Enter: - ElßA's
Catholic U., Georgetown Enter
Partial Squads for Tourney
Full teams from four schools, including the host Penn State,
have been entered in the Intercollegiate Boxing Association tourna
ment which opens in Rec Hall Friday night, while Catholic U. has
entered seven men and Georgetown one.
The single Georgetown entry was admitted Tuesday by a major
ity vote of the association membership. He is at Palumbo, who
fought in last year's champion
ships at 130 pounds, and will com
pete this year at 132,
Palumbo's entry brought the
total of competitors tq 40, after
Catholic U. failed to place a man
in the 178-pound class. '
4 Complete Teams
The 40 entries insure a card of
eight bouts on Friday night, 16
in the semi-final round Saturday
afternoon, and the eight final
bouts Saturday night.
Schools entering full teams be
sides the Lions were Army, Syra
cuse, and Virginia. Syracuse has
been established as favorite, with
any of the other teams capable of
an upset.
Penn State leads the field in
defending individual champions
with two, while Syracuse and
Army have one. Neither Virginia
nor Catholic U. boast a champion.
The competition is sure. to be
tough in all weights, and at 125,
156, and 178-pounds in particu
lar.
Miller Defends Title
The 125-pound class is' loaded
with top-notch performers, and
with no defending champ back,
the field is wide open. - The main
contenders are the Lions' eunbeat
en but thrice tied Sammy Marino,
Catholic U.'s 3 o e Walsh,. Syra
cuse's speedy Tommy Coulter,
and Virginia's Bill Banerdt.
Syracuse's Eastern champ Bill
"Hooksie" Miller is back to de
fend his 150-pound title, 1;lut is
sure to have a rough time against
Army's Carl Crews and Virginia's
Captain Pete Potter, who beat
him in a dual meet.
In the light heavy class, an
other champ, Army's Jim Mcln
erney, is back, but he's going to
have to throw plenty of solid
leather to retain his crown.
Flore Contender
Besides the Lions' sophomore
slugger Adam Kois there are Vir
ginia's Bill Roberts, and Whitey
Mahar of Syracuse, to haunt him.
The 139-pound class will prob
ably wind up as a three-way scrap
between Lion Tony Flore, Syra
cuse's Johnny Granger, and cath
olic U.'s Joe Incarriato.
Lion coach Eddie Sullowski is
counting heavtly'on his two fast
improving sophomores . Kois and
Flore to show well in the tourna..,
ment. If Mall? and Tony continue
as they have been lately, Sul
kowski believes the Lions will be
hard to beat.
2 Lions Contenclej.s
In the 132-pound division, Syra
cuse's Art Nelson will probably
be the favorite, with trouble com
ing from Virginia's Bob Rush,
Army's Jim McGee and possibly
the Lions up-and-coming Sammy
Butler.
State's defending champs John
ny Albarano at 146 and Lou Kos
zarek at 165-pounds appear to
have the upper hands in their
weights. Johnny's chief opposi
tion will probably come from Gus
Fiacco of Syracuse, while Jeryl
Hughes• of Army could give Lou
a rough time.
The heavyweight class, though
under par from recent years,
could turn out to be the wildest
scramble of all. The big boys who
will probably be most prominent
are Pete Larson of Catholic U.,
George 'Kartalian of Syracuse,
Mike Hepler of Army, Virginia's
Joe Mehalipk, and last but not
least, the Lions' surprising Bob
Potter.
intramuralt Canceled
Due to sorority rushing,
WRA intramurals have been
canceled for the rest of the
week, Marple, intra
mural chairman, announced'
yesterday.
Miss Marple said that Ultra
murals will • probably last a
week longer to niake up' the
games missed this week. Next
week's games will be played
according to the original
schedule.

Lions Used
'Freeze'
At Bucknell
Penn State's basketball t e a m
plays the quintet it last used the
freeze against when the Lions bat
tle Bucknell at Lewisburg Satur
day night.
Most fans have already forgot
ten that the Nittanies ohce used
the controversial possession style
of play to defeat an opponent. The
IBlue and White cagers employed
Ithe freeze in last year's contest at
Bucknell and down the Bisons,
25-15. 13ucknell partisans groaned
as much as Lion followers did af
ter Saturday's farce with Pitt. The
Lions led 5.3 at halftime.
The Lions and Bisons have met
once this season.. Coach Elmer
Gross' courtmen scored a convinc
ing 73-63 triumph in Rec Hall in
the early part of the season.
Seek to Better Record
Saturday's game will close the
regular season for the Lions. No
matter what happens at I3ucknell,
the Lions are assured of their
best season in history.
Freshman Jesse Arnelle will
attempt to get back on the scor
ing bandwagon. The six-five cen
ter, already holder of State's one
season scoring total, will add to
his 426 complication. Pitt's stall
ing tactics limited Arnelle's out- 1
put to six tallies, his lowest since,
the Ithaca opener.
McMahan, Team Player
Three seniors will finish their
regular season careers at State.
The team's two captains, nerdy
Williams and Jay McMahan, will
end three fine years of action.
Williams has scored 187 points
this year and has an excellent
chande to crack the 200 mark
for the first time in his collegiate
career.'
McMahan, six-seven forward,
improved rapidly this season and
was one of the Nittanies' chief
clutch players. Repeatedly, his
great hook shot and one hand
pusher saved the day for the
Grossmen. Tiny has advanced to
fifth place in team scoring.
PioricoWski is a two year vet
eran. He was ineligible a year
since he was a transfer. This
year Perk was a regular starter
and a steady floorman.

Lynn illingworth Makes Good
Away from Homer's Shadow
Sandy. Saddler
Fined $5OO
By cornmissionr
? MONTREAL, March 4 —(A 3 )--
The Montreal Athletic Commis,
sion fined world featherweight
champion Sandy Saddler $5O to
day, and said he was lucky he
wasn't suspended fop 'his conduct
in his bout last night with At,
mand
. Savoie of Montreal.
Saddler was disqualified by
referee Tommy Sullivan, a f ter
three rounds of the scheduled 10-
round bout at the Forum, for
hitting' on the breaks, heeling,
holding and hitting with the laces
of his gloves. It was a non-title
bout for Saddler, and Savoie, Can
adian lightweight champ.
"Due to the fact that he (Sad
dler) is going into the United
States Army—and we like to see
a man doing his duty for his
country—we will
. grive him a
chance to mane lilting; we
chance
will not suspend him," Said Emile
Gauthier, commission chairman.
"If it Was an prdinaryJime we
would suspend Saddler,' , he add,
ed. It was Gauthier who climbed
into the ring before the fourth
round and instructed the referee
to disqualify the New York bpxer,
The champion's handlers were
so incensed at the action that
three ,carloads• of police were re
quired to help .restore order.
There were numerous brawls
among the spectators.
Nittany heavyweight wrestler Lynn Illingworth has been a vic
tim of the same fate as second string quarterbacks ou Notre Dame
football teams of the past decade.
You can't push Lujacks, Bellellis and Williams out of a job,
and throughout the last two seasons of Penn State wrestling the
unlimited class was in the mammoth hands of two-time EIWA
chainpion Homer Barr.
But just as George Ratterman
cameinto his own once out of
the shadow of Lujack, .so
Iling
worth has shown brightly away
from the shade cast by • the man
who reigned three years as State's
"Peoples' Choice."
State College Product '
After \ three seasons of helping
Horner to titles by giving him
stiff practice workouts, Lynn has
more than adequately taken over
the heavyweight starring role for
Charlie Speidel's grapplers.
"Bigin," a State College boy
lOW has made aped at Penn State
Just as he did at State College'
High four years ago, has won six
dual meets in his first varsity sea
son and except for a default loss
would probably be unbeaten to
day.
l3igin started his collegiate car
eer with a 9-4 decision of Lehigh's
Joe Comly. Then he pinned a
Virginian in 3:30, threw a Pitt
m atma p ,at 8:37, decisioned a
Marylander, 7-0 and def eated
Army's heavy,
Sat Out navy Meet
With a 5-0 lbg, Lynn met Syra
cuse's Dick Beyer and clearly ap-'
geared superior even though tied
3-3 in the second period when
misfortune struck. Going .under
Beyer for a takedown, Lynn's
tender ribs got smacked. Refus
ing to quit, Lynn's pleading team
mates and the roaring crowd
forced him to give in. The meet
had already been won.
Moves Fait
Like ,most of his Lion mat
mates, Lynn is prOud owner of a
st ate wrestling championship.
Piping his 1943 senior year for
the State College's Little Lions,
Bigin won the joint District VI
and IX heavyweight champion
ship and followed up his initial ,
success by winning the State title
in the unlimited plass.
Despite the gO5 pounds spread
over his six-two frame, the big
fellow moves quite fast. Particu
lar instances of his ability to move
were evident in the Army meet
when he pulled a quick somer
sault reverse and in his sudden
step-over reverse in the Virginia
meet.
MOO Shots: A senior, Lynn
will get an Air ROTC commission
in June „ . After which, Bigin,
a pre-law student, plans to go to
law school . . . Lynn was a ver
