Cotirtirpti, Finish
Season • Tonight
By DAVE COLTON
Bucknell fans probably don't
have to worry about Coach Elmer
Gross using the "deep freeze"
when the invading Lion cagers
close their best season in school
history at 8:30 tonight in Davis
Gym.
State used freeze tactics last win
ter against the Bisons and kept
the. contest scoreless for the first
16 minutes. The Lions led 5-3 at
halftime and won 25-15. But after
Saturday night's 24-9 nightmare
with .Doc Carlson and Pitt the
Nittanies probably have seen
enough of the delaying tactics for
one %season.
,Eyes on Arnelle
Besides, State has a good 19-4
chart, for the campaign' and, an
outside, chance for one of the four
"at large" bids to the 'NCAA tour
nament. Gross also has more
Manpower. -at his 'disposal than
he' did -last year.
Massive Jesse Arnelle (6-5) is
the man whom most of the sell
out crowd of 2500 will be watch
ing. When the Lions defeated
Coach Jack Guy's quintet, 73-63,
in the second game of the season
the big freshman star was just a
reserve.
Since then Arnelle has proven
himself one of the f r e sh m an
standouts of the country and has
cracked every major Penn State
scoring .record. He has amassed
426 points for an 18.5 average. He
holds the Rec Hall scoring mark
of 40, set against Georgetown, and
an away record of 30 against
Syracuse.
Co-captains Start
Three of Gross' most dependable
performers—s eniors Tiny Mc-
Mahan, Joe Piorkowski and Hardy
Williams—will p 1 a y their last
regular season game. All three
will be in the starting lineup
along with Arnelle and Jack
Sherry.
Co-captain Williams and Sherry
will open at guards; Arnelle, cen
ter; and Co-captain McMahan and
Piorkowski forwards. As usual
Gross will have Ed Haag, Herm
Sledzik and Ron Weidenhammer
for heavy reserve duty.
The Bisons will be gunning to
stop the Lions' three game mas
tery over them. Last year State
won another contest besides the
freeze battle, and those, joined
with this y ear's success, give
Gross' squad three consecutive
victories over the Lewisburg ri
vals.
DeLoca Strong Center
Bucknell's main recognition this
•
season has resulted from upset
wins over Arizona State, Rutgers,
and Rhode Island State. The Bi
sons defeated the Rams worse
than Penn State did at Rhode
Island. They scored 100 points
against Rutgers.
• Guy's starting array will prob
r. ably be Captain -Connie DeLoca
(6-3), Jack Gallagher (6-1), Jim
Poff (6.5), Don Strassner (6-2) and
Jack Webber (5-9). Gallagher is
the best scorer and averaged about,
19 points a game last season. De
,' Loca, a 200 pound senior, is a
;,good rebounder.

Nittany Dick Waters has the
unenviable job of meeting the
,
biggest and toughest of the Tig
ers, Captain Brad GlasS. On sev
eral selectors' all-football teams
last fall, Glass has only been de
feated once in his collegiate ca
reer. In addition to being an East
ern an d national titleholder,
:Glass is Metropolitan New York's
,AAU, heavyweight champ.

Bobby Lawrence Puts
5 Meet Streak on Line
Bob Lawrence will put his five-meet winning streak on line
in the sidehorse event at Syracuse today when the 25th annual
EIGA's start at 2 p.m.

Carolina, Army, Navy, Syracuse, and Temple. Against North Caro
lina, Lawrence registered his highest total, scoring 280 points. His

4 Second Man
Two Nittanies
Get District
Court Honors
Two Penn State players were
given recognition on the Pitts
burgh Post-Gazette's fourth an
nual Tri-State basketball team.
Jes s e Arnelle, six-five fresh-
Man standout, was given eight of
a possible ten votes to win a first
team forward position. Lion Co
captain Hardy Williams garnered
one vote to earn one of the 11
honorable mention posts. Arnelle
was the only freshman on the
first team.
The rest of the first team lists
Tom Craig, Carnegie Tech; Jim
Tucker, Duquesne; Mark Work
man, West Virginia, and Mickey
Zernich, Pitt. Workman was the
highest point getter with nine
votes. Tucker and Arnelle both
had eight.
The team was selected by the
ten coaches of the Tri-State Big
Ten. Coach Elmer Gross was one
of the coaches who cast a ballot.
_Other Lion opponents who
made the squad were John Moj
zer of Washington-Jefferson and
Clarence Burch of Pitt. The Nit
tanies played against all of the
first team except Tucker.
Boxing Faces
Anti-Trust Suit
NEW YORK,' March 7—(R)--
A federal grand jury investigat
ing boxing on a nationwide scale
recommended today that the gov
ernment, take anti-trust actiop to
end "restraints of trade in the
promotion and broadcasting of
championship fights."
The special body, which has
been probing ring practices since
Oct. 8, stated in a short present
ment to Federal Judge William
Bondy:
"After hearing the evidence in
this matter grand jury recom-
mends ,that the attorney general
consider filing a civil action un
der the anti-trust laws."
, Boxing thus became the third
major' sport to be threatened with
an, anti-trust suit since the war.
Jay McMahan
Cronstedt will also double in
the parallel bars with Al Wick and
Bill Sab.o. The "Flying Finn" has
lost but once in this event. That
setback was administered by Ray
Colvin, Army, with 269 points.
In the rope climbing, Wettstone
will pin his hopes on Dave Shultz
and Johnny Baffa. Shultz is a
consistent four-second man and
should cause trouble.
On the flying rings, State will
use Jim Hazen, Tony Procopio,
and freshman Karl Schwenzsfeier.
Hazen is State's best in this event.
All-around Competitors
Schwenzsfeier an d Procopio
will come right back with Cron
stedt in the all-around compe
tition, which includes the side
horse, parallel bars, horizontal
bars, and flying rings.
Syracuse is expected to enter
three men in the all-around—
Ferdie Fournies, Milan Trnka,
and Johnny Barkal. Temple will
have a pair of Johnnies—Galente
and Jengo—as its representatives.
Army and Navy probably will not
enter this specialty.
Barkal Favored
Barkal will probably occupy the
role of favorite in this specialty.
Barkal grabbed second places in
the sidehorse, parallel bars, and
horizontal bars against State.
, State, on the other hand, will
present a well-balanced th r e e
some •in this event in Cronstedt,
P,rocopio, and Schwenzsfeier.
Both . Procopio and Schwenzs
feier can do all four events fairly
well.
Doubles in Sports
Penn State's light-heavyweight
wrestler, Hud Samson, of Pitts
burgh, - is a member of the Lion
golf team.
PIAA Swimming Today
,More than 100 high school
swimmers will compete for

PIAA • swimming champion
ships in Glennland Pool. The
competition will get underway
at 10 a.m.

fending team "chanipion.
Jesse Arnelle Named
To All-Pa.CageTeam
PHILADELPHIA, March 12 (IP) J esse Arnelle, Penn State
freshman, polled the highest number of votes, and Temple Univer
sity's. Bill Mlkvy became the first three year choice in balloting to
determine the 1951-52 Associated Press All-Pennsylvania collegiate
basketball team.
Fifty sports editors and radio sportscasters took part in the poll
that chose five Eastern Pennsylvania boys, four from the Western
end of the State and one from the Central area for the first squad.
In keeping with the modern firehouSe brand of basketball, in which
more than five men are needed for a well balanced squad, a 10 man
team was selected.
Named along with Arnelle and Mlkvy, were Jim Tucker and
Dick Ricketts of Duquesne, Tom Gala of LaSalle, Ernie Beck of
Penn, Larry Hennessey of Villanova, Mike Zernich of Pittsburgh.
Don Stemmerich of Clarion and Pete Catril of Lafayette.
The second team has John Doogan, St. Joseph's College; Jim
Kennedy, Duquesne; Eddie Cahn, Lehigh; Fred lehle, Lasalle; Clar
ence Burch, Pittsburgh; Gerry Potts, Albright; Bob Pizolato, Gettys
burg; Joe Gallagher, Bucknell; Maurice Stokes, St. Francis). and
Carson (Gus) Lovett of Franklin and Marshall.
The first squad, a combination of brilliant shotmakers, rebound
experts, playmakers and general all-around court aptitude, pre
sents the usual feature of three freshmen. With the exception of the
years during World War 11, a freshman has been a rarity on the
All-State team. To top it off, Arnelle, 18-year-old first year gem on
Penn State's fine team, polled the high of 44 votes.
Arnelle broke all Penn State scoring records, including a single
game mark that had stood since 1919. The 218-pound all-around
athlete scored 40 points against Georgetown. erasing the old mark
of 36. He scored over 400 points and was one of the best rebounders
in the state, averaging 18 to 20 a game.
Mlkvy, the 21-year-old sensation from Palmerton, Pa., didn't
fare as well this season as he did in the previous campaign. But he
still managed to total 418 points and collar over 350 rebounds in addi
tion to handing out 118 assists. He completed one of the most bril
liant basketball careers in the history of the game. His 29.2 average
in the 1950-51 season is a national record they may be
_shooting at
for a long time.
Sinkers Impressive
In 6243 Court Win
The Sinkers were the most impressive of four IM independent
cage teams that emerged as champions of their respective leagues
after tie playoff victories Thursday night at Bee Hall.
The Epars, Wildcats, and Dorm 14 notched wins to take home
the crowns in Leagues A, G, and H, respectively, but it was the
Sinkers who for the second con
secutive night stole the show.
With Jim Garrity in the driv
er's seat, the team composed
mostly of Penn State football
players romped to an easy 62-13
triumph over Dorm 36. Garrity
scored 20 points for the winners,
but 18 of them came in the first
half as the Sinkers took a com
manding 29-5 halftime lead.
Dorm 36, in losing for the sec
ond time this season to the new
League J champs, failed to score
a field goal in the first half, and
made only two the entire game.
Frank Schwab's six points were
high for the losers.
The Epars, trailing 18-10 at
halftime, rallied strongly in the
second half to whip the Sea
Hawks, 27-22, and take the Lea
gue A championship. In the sec
ond half, the winners scored 13
consecutive points to take the
lead, 23-18, and were never head
ed again. Harry Weaver tallied 13
markers to lead the Epars.
Dorm 14 also trailed at half
time, but came back in the sec
ond half to whip the Dinks, 21-17.
After the Dinks had piled up an
11-4 lead at intermission, Dorm
14 began to roll and finally took
the lead at• 18-17. Don Thomas
and Jack ShAw each scored 6
points to pace Dorm 14 to the
League H title.
The Wildcats took the measure
of the Terrapins for the second
time this week to capture the
laurels in League G. The Terra
pins held an early 10-2 lead, fell
behind 16-11 at halftime, and fin
ally lost despite a late flurry, 34-
