P AGM SIX Lion Cagers, Wrestlers End S Bucknell Five Hosts Nittanies Tomorrow By DAVE COLTON Bucknell will present a veteran lineup against Penn State when the Lion basketball team con cludes its regular season at Lew isburg tomorrow night. The game will start in Davis Gym at 8 p.m. Coach Elmer Gross' court men will drop the curtain on the best season in State's history. In compiling an enviable record of 19-4 the Lions broke the school record for most wins in a year. The former mark was 18, set by the 1941-42 team which played in the NCAA tournament. The Bisons' mentor, Jack Guy, has a veteran lineup. Joe Gal lagher, three year performer, is probably Bucknell's most dan -gerous man. Last year he av eraged about 19 points a game. The Nittanies limited him to six points in the only meeting of the two rivals this season. The Blue and White won that battle, 73-63 in Rec Hall. The Bisons have lost• one of their outstanding players, Bill Strella. The senior guard was dropped from the squad because of scholastic difficulties. Strella scored 11 points against the Lions in the first game this year. Ron Reichman, who also saw service against the Grossmen, has been dropped because of grades. Webber Will Start Captain Connie DeLoca, six three senior, will start at center. DeLoca is rugged under the boards and a competent re bounder. Jack Webber (5-9) will start at one of the guard positions. Don Strassner, who collected 15 tal lies in the first game, will prob ably replace Strella at the other guard post. Jim Poff (6-5) will open at one of the forward posts. Poff, a sophomore, is one of the few newcomers on the squad. He scored 14 in the first Lion en- ‘ counter. Marty McKibbin (6-2) letterman is one of the reserves. The Bisons use the fast break if they are given the opportunity. They like to race up and down the court, and outscored the fast breaking Rhode Island Rams at their own game this year. Buck nell scored over 100 points at Rhode Island State. State Starters As soon as they grab a rebound the Bisons thrcw long passes up the court and drive for the bas ket. Gallagher, a southpaw, shoots every opportunity he gets. Gross had his team ready for these tactics the last time and throttled the Bisons well. Bucknell will get a better look at Jesse Arnelle this con test. Arnelle hadn't cracked the starting lineup at the time of the first meeting and only scor ed eight points. Since then the six-five freshman has eclipsed State's single season scoring to tal, Rec Hall mark, and away game record. He has 426 points for an average of 18.5 per game. Other starters will probably be Jack Sherry and Co-Captain Hardy Williams at guards; Ar nelle, center, and Joe Piorkow ski and either Herm Sledzik or Co-Captain Tiny McMahan. for wards. McMahan, Piorkowski and Williams. will be ending their college careers.

Old Gent Watches Tony Flore Improve Somewhere, perhaps among the crowd in Rec Hall, tonight, an old man will be anxiously awaiting the decision when Tony Fiore, the Penn State boxers' title hope at 139 pounds steps through the ropes for his first Eastern championship fight. And this elderly gentleman's thoughts will not only be with Tony as he stands in his corner awaiting the bell, but also with the man instructing him, Coach Ed die Sulkowski. For it was this man, Jack Metz, now well into his seventies, who started "Sulkowski and Flore on their boxing careers. Eddie's fin ally led to his present post as the Lions' head coach, and Tony's to a varsity position. Definit6 Contender 139 Pounder Tony Flore Four Trophies To Be Given At Tournament Four trophies will be at stake when boxing teams from five eastern schools tangle in the in tercollegiate championships to night and tomorrow. To the winning team will go a replica of the Edward J. Neil Tro phy, which has been presented since 1941. It was proposed by the IBA as a memorial to the Associ ated Press correspondent who was a rabid college boxing fan: until his death in Spain.• Another trophy, presented an nually to the individual boxer "whose skill, sportsmanship and conduct perpetuate the finest in collegiate; boxing will be awarded. The first of two trophies award ed to Penn Staters is the Leo Houck Memorial Trophy, which goes to the first year man who best exemplifies Houck's stand ards of skill and sportsmanship. The second is the Fr an k J. Goodman trophy, which is named for the donor, who was a national champ while at State. It goes to the outstanding, senior on the State team. By 808 VOSBURG And Jack Metz can well be proud of Tony Fiore, who came under his wing as a fat little kid in Pittsburgh who wanted to box. For the Lion sophomore, who has trimmed down quite a bit from his younger chubby days, has al ready indicated that he aims to place a few trophies of his own among the many Ja c k Metz's boys have won. Tony, in his first year on the Lion varsity, has posted one of the best records on the team, and ha s labeled himself a definite contender for championship hon ors in his class. In his first varsity fight, Tony lost a tough 28-27 decision to Catholic U's veteran Joe Incar nate on a foul blow. Since that time he moved through four dual meets without. defeat, climaxing the seasbn with a quick first' round TKO of Virginia's Conrad Ljundgquist. Pointing for Crown He holds decisions over Syra cuse's Johnny Granger, Army's Ramon Aguilar, and Wisconsin's Charlie Magestro. Tony graduated fr o m Pitts burgh's North Catholic High School in 1950, and is enrolled in the commerce and finance cur riculum at State. After gradua tion he hopes to go into the busi ness world. But right now, he is pointing to the intercollegiates, and his first crack at an Eastern cham pionship. Murray Assigned To Aberdeen, Md. Pvt.

MARCk 7, 1952 Matnien' Meet Princeton; Frey Back in Lineup Eastern and national collegiate 1 wrestling runnerup Don Frey will be back in the Penn State lineup tomorrow when the Lions close ' their dual meet season at Prince ton against the Tiger mat team. Out of action the last two weeks 1 while recovering from tonsilitis, Frey is recovered and ready to get a final tuneup for the EIWA's a next week. The husky 147 pound er, unbeaten in 13 dual meets un til his defeat two weeks ago, now has a 5-1 record on the year. - However, the Nittany lineup will probably be still one man short of the team which has piled up most of the eight straight wins this season. Waters May Start Heavyweight Lynn Illingworth's ribs are still tender, and he may not wrestle tomorrow. Lynn, a doubtful starter last week, won his sixth against a lone default loss. Dick Waters will get the call if Illingworth stays on the side lines. Substituting in the Navy meet, Dick won 6-3 in his lone varsity start. Otherwise the lineup will be in I its mid-season form. Dick Lemyre will be after his 9th straight win without. loss in the 130-pound class. The young soph has pinned three, shutout three, and yielded only three points in all eight matches. Homan Seeks Bth The only other unbeaten Nit tany, Jerry Maurey, will be wrest ling for his fifth win of the sea- ,' son. Sitting on the bench while Larry Fornicola and Captain-Dori Maurey handled the 137 position' earlier in the year, Jerry has won the job permanently with a record which includes two pins • and a decision in the 147-pound class. Bob Homan takes to the mat with a 7-1 record for the Lions in his first year at Penn State. Other than Syracuse's ex-BIWA 123- ,* pound champion Bob Gerbino, Homan's opponents have not come close. Hugh Peery of Pitt was the only foe Homan has-failed to beat by four points or better. Doug Frey at_ 157 After winning four straight to start the season, Lion Hud Sam son has alternated wins and loss es in his last four starts. Tomor row Hud goes for his seventh ' against two losses at 177 pounds. Doug Frey, currently working on a three-match winning streak, has won five out of six since his season opening loss. He will be after his sixth win at 157 pounds. Behind his 7-1 pace of last sea son, 167 pounder Joe Lemyre will t be grappling for his - sixth win of_ the year. Joe has lost two and tied one.
