riP/. 4 §D4Y, MARCH 26, 192 The Nitway Ream If we ever had any idea that athletes were hard guys who turn their backs on sentiment and laugh at emotion, we learned differently Monday night. • We were graciously invited to attend a banquet held by the Lion boxing team, and left not only with a stomach full of delicious steak, but also with a mind full of a lbt of things said by a bunch Of good guys._ • Despite the fact that the College has dropped the practice of rewarding its'athletic teams with banquets after the season, the boxers chipped in and staged a very successful feast of their own. We heard out-going Captain Johnny Albarano, and the other senior members Lou Koszarek, Bob Potter, Laz LeMon—express their thanks Ito Coach Eddie Sul kowski, to their• teammates, and to Penn State as a whole, for a lot gained in many ways in three years. And we listened while Coach SUlkowski re viewed the season, thanked the boys for their cooperation, and assured those leaving that they will be welcome back any time they choose to return.. Sammy Marino, newly elected captain—to use his words "humbly and gratefully" accepted his new post, / doubting but hoping that he can fill Albarano's shoei, and lead his teammates to a successful season. The most significant thing about this banquet is the fact.that this team, despite a losing season; was enough of a team—to hate the thought of breaking up without one last fling together. AFTER DINNER MINTS: Team physician Dr. Griese was the un proud recipient this week of an official Syracuse "S." The letter was promised to 'the doctor by Syracuse publicist Jim Decker after he announced that Adam 'Kois had broken his hand in the semi-final bout with Whitey Mahar. Mahar went on to finish as runnerup and Syracuse won the team championship by those three points which rightly belonged to Kois . . . With wedding bells not far away, the team presented Coach Sulkowski with a shiny toastmaster.

Beat Top-Rated Teams The regional finals are an old story to Farrell and Westing house but both Eastern contend ers are making their first serious bid for the top prize. Farrell elinr, inated Westinghouse, 45-44, in last year's Western finals. Both- Catasauqua's rough rid ers and Coatesville's Raiders were largely overlooked when the playoffs began nearly four weeks ago. But both earned their positions by knocking off the East's top-rated teams. Catasauqua won the Lehigh Valley League title and then downed Bethlehem's East Penn Conference champions for the District 11 title, 56-52. They eliminated Reading's Central Penn Conference and District 3 titlists in regional play, 46-44, in a. thriller that was decided in the last few seconds. Coatesville - had to win two straight tilts with Pottstown to take the Ches-Mont League crown. Then they downed de fending champion -Radnor, 65-54,. Bristol, 66-49, and strong Chester, 55-51, to win the DiStrict 1 crown. The Raiders then blasted a highly-regarded Swoyersville,- 51-38, in the regionals. Both Eastern quintets are well balanced combinations without single standout players. Both are equally adept on the defense as well as the offense. ' Coatesville has won its `last 13 games while • Catasauqua has a 17-game winning streak to pro tect. Coach Bob Mushrush adMiti his CatasauqUa• team has no set offense.

Ronnie Brown, Ernie Bryant, Jim Lopp and Rod Perry all hit for two figures against -Swoyersville. Coach Wilard Fisher is hoping that the fourth time will be the charm as he,leads his Bulldogs, against the rilliant Julius Mc- Coy and his Farrell teammates. Westinghouse was knocked out in the finals by Ford City in 1948 and.Hornestead in 1950 as well as Farrell last year. Sport Shirts...
