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.

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.

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.

FRIDAY. 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.
