Marino, Albarano Draw NCAA Boxing Opponents By 808 VOSBURG First-round opponents for John ny Aibarano and Sammy Marino, Penn State’s only two entries in the 35th annual national colleg iate boxing championships at Madison, Wis., were named last night according to the Associated Press. Tomorrow afternoon’s opening matches will find Marino oppos ing Louisiana State’s Joe Thorn ton at 119 pounds and Albarano meeting Wisconsin’s Bob Morgan at 147 wounds. No figures were available on Thornton’s seasonal record, and it is probable that he has either had no competition this year or has dropped down from 125 pounds. Morgan is the lanky Badger freshman who inflicted on Albar ano his first and only loss of the dgal-meet season. The two Lion Eastern champs will be thrown against a field of boxers representing about 15 col leges. Team representatives will be converging on the University of Wisconsin campus from every part of the country. The host Badgers, defending team champions, will be the fav orites again this year. The Bad gers will probably have entries m all weights, and the presence of two defending NCAA champs in their lineup makes their outlook bright. Wisconsin will be pressed, how ever, by last year’s runnerup Michigan State, and the always strong Pacific coast teams —Wash- ington State, Idaho, and San Jose State. A total of six champions will be returning to defend their national titles. Wisconsin’s two champs, Dick Murphy at 156-pounds and heavyweight Bob Ranck, lead the field. Minnesota’s Neil Ofsthun will be back to defend his 125-pound crown, along with Everett Con ley of Washington State at 132 pounds, Eli Thomas of Gonzaga at 165 pounds, and Michigan State’s rugged Chuck Speiser. at 178 pounds. Two new weight classes, and 119 pounds, have been added in conjunction with the Olympic weights. Unbeaten Marino, -a reg ular 125 pounder, will compete in the 119 division. Albarano will be at his usual 147 pounds. One point will be awarded for each preliminary win, with three points going to-semi-final victors and five to final champions. Phillips Tops LaSalle Five By 92-58 Score NEW YORK, April 1 (JP) Seven-foot Bob Kurland and his Phillips Oilers teammates smoth ered a spirit-dry LaSalle, 92-58 tonight in the third place consol ation game of the Olympic bas- BULLETIN Peoria 62, Kansas 60 ketball trials. The University of Kansas and the Peoria Cater pillars met for the title at Madi son Square Garden. A thin crowd of around 5,000 found little to cheer as both teams played -unenthusiastic, lackadaisical basketball with nothing at stake. LaSalle showed none of the fire and dash which character ized its surprising sweep through the National Invitation Tourna ment and into the semi-finals of the Olympic trials where it led Kansas for three quarters before bowing, 70-65, last night. .Kurland, Oklahoma A&M star during the last war, played only half the game. Yet he scored 17 points with his deadly hook shots and deft tapins. Led by Kurland, Wayne Glas gow and little Ken Pryor, the Oilers of Bartlesville, Okla., playing smooth, methodical bas ketball with well-conceived pat terns, piled up a 27-9 lead in the first period. La Salle spurted momentarily in the second quarter to match the AAU quintet’s 19 points but the Oilers pulled away steadily after going to intermission with a 46-28 advantage. JTTE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Luck Evades Thiel As Army Gets Reed As if the loss of midfielders Jack Wilcox- and Paul Raffen sperger weren’t enough, Lady Luck turned- her back on lacrosse Coach Nick Thiel when she grabbed attackman Jim Reed. Reed, called by Thiel “the best ‘crease’ man we’ve had the past ten years,” was activated with the local National Guard and his departure leaves a sore spot in the State lineup. In addition to Reed, State also lost two other lettermen, includ ing Ned Herring, a regular on last year’s team that won six and dropped three. The other stick man to graduate was Don (Judge) Watkins. State Awarded '53 NCAA Mat Tournament The squabble over which indi viduals ought to have represent ed Penn State in the NCAA wrestling championship tourna ment last weekend has been solved —but just a year too late. The NCAA Wrestling Rules Committee awarded the site of the 1953 National Collegiates to Penn State at a meeting held dur ing the NCAA mat tourney last weekend in Fort Collins, Colo. State College will be host to the nation’s collegiate wrestlers on March 27 and 28, the commit tee decided. Alternate Tourney Nittany Coach Charlie Speidel. whose team won the EIWA cham pionship and finished fifth in the NCAA’s, made the satiric com ment of an old saying: “If Mo hammed won’t go to the moun tain, they will bring the moun tain to Mohammed.” Penn State has held the na tionals several times in the past in keeping with the policy of holding the tournament in a west ern state one year and in the East on the alternate year. The NCAA committee also pass ed a ruling to the effect that be ginning with the 1954 season, all competitors must wear a helmet to prevent “too many cauliflower ears” which have been inflicted in recent years. Cadets Use Helmets The helmet, used by many col legiate competitors already, con sists of either plastic ear muffs which are strapped to the head or a cloth which is designed like an airplane pilot’s hat. This latter type helmet was used almost wtihout exception by every member of Army’s wrest ling team during the past season. Several of State’s wrestlers have used the ear muff helmet for practice but seldom in meets this season. Fencing Club Members of the Fencing Club may pick up iheir equipment by contacting President Pete Raidy at 201 Hamilton Hall. Expect Banner Trout Season HARRISBURG, April 1 (AO- State Fish Commission officials expect a banner season for tlout fishermen this year, despite a re duction in the daily catch limit. C. A. French, executive direc tor of the Commission, said the reduped limit should not have a harmful effect on fishermen. “As a matter of fact, many ap prove of ih” he said. A recent Commission ruling set the trout limit at eight a day, in stead of 10. It also provided that eight is the limit a person may have in his possession at any one time. The legal length before they may be caught—remains at six inches. French said the forthcoming season ought to be one of the best Pennsylvania anglers have ever had. The season opens at 5 a.m. April 15 and lasts through July 31. Herbert Hoover is the only man of Swiss descent to be President of the United States. 3 Leiiermen Bhck As in the case of the midfield, Thiel has plenty of battle-sea soned men to offset the loss of attackmen Reed, Herring, and Watkins. The. Nittany Lions will have three lettermen back to fill the attack positions, including senior John (Doak) Walker, one of State’s best ball handlers and passers. The other two men who will probably start when the Lions open at Loyola of Baltimore April 10 are junior Dick Rostmeyer and another senior. Bob Koons. 2d Attack Trio Rostmeyer, a regular last year, reached his peak against the touted Maryland Lacrosse. Club when he played a brilliant ball control game in addition to scor ing two goals. Koons, even though he wasn’t a starter, saw plenty of action last year. Two juniors and a sophomore will make up, the second attack trio. Included in this threesome is sophomore Dave Arnold who played freshman lacrosse for Coach Dick Garber last year. The two juniors are Bernie Hender son and Tom Goldsworthy. After the Loyola game April 10, Penn State will travel to Annapolis for a'game with Navy, a team that beat them last year, 10-1, at Annapolis. Penn State’s first home attrac tion is scheduled for April 24 with Washington and Lee, a new comer on the Lion schedule.
