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.
East's 'Supreme Twins'
Meet
HARRISBURG, March 25—(11")—The "surprise twins" of the
East collide tomorrow night in the PIAA Class A regional basket
finals while 6p-seeded Farrell defends its Westerri title.
Catasaqua (23-3) and Coatesville (22-3) are as evenly-matched
as their records indicate going into their eastern finals at Hershey's
sports arena. Farrell. (27-1) is rated a shade above an upset-minded
Pittsburgh Westinghouse. (18-4)
at Pittsburgh's Pitt fieldhouse.
Tomorrow night's survivors

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. "We just give - and go,"
he said:

But we were probably most touched when
in Regional
team has any one of four men
who can lead the attack on the
opposition basket. 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.
