PAGE SIX Marino Wins First NCAA Test Lion Boxer Defeats Thornton; Morgan Decisions Albarano Special lo the Daily Collegian Penn State’s boxing delegation to the national championships at Wisconsin University split in opening-round competition the Associated Press reported last night, with Sammy Marino winning and John Albarano losing. • Marino boxing in the 119-pound class decisioned Joe Thornton of Louisiana State. This keeps Sammy’s season record free from defeat, and sends him into to night’s semi-finals. He also picks up one point for the win, and has a chance of gaining three more in the semi’s. Albarano for the second time this year found the taller Bob Morgan of Wisconsin too tough. It was Morgan who handed the Lion 147 pounder his only loss of the dual meet season. This was the third try for 'Al barano, twice an Eastern champ, for a national crown, and for the third time he was stopped in the preliminaries. Marino’s chances for victory appear fairly bright, since his competition will be coming from boys who have moved down from 125 pounds, as he did, or who have not competed this year. His toughest task will probably be getting by Frank Echavarria of Idaho, who eliminated Sain in the preliminaries of last year’s tournament. Should he be successful in to night’s battle, Sammy will qualify for Saturday night’s finals, and a chance to compete in the Olym pic trials this summer at Kansas City.

' I THE SPORTSMEN’S 5 CALDER ALLEY Cold Weather Hampers State Track Team By JOHN SHEPPARD Handicapped by the- adverse weather the past two weeks, Penn State’s outdoor track squad has been reluctant to open up in pre-season conditioning drills on the Beaver Field oval. Coach Chick Werner summed the situation up yesterday when he said, “we’re keeping our fing ers crossed for nice, warm sun shine. With two or three days of good weather, this group of boys may begin to take the appearance of a good track team.” General Workout Set “Despite the way we’ve been crippled by ineligibility and loss, the fellows that are out are shoot ing the works, and their atti tudes are wonderful,” he added. Tomorrow, if the weather per mits, Werner and his assistant, Norm Gordon, will send their charges through a general work out. The main object of this ses sion isn’t f<jr times, but to give the team a feeling of going through competition. That is, the hurdlers will run a full flight of high hurdles, the sprinters and distance men will cover their re spective distances, the weight men will perform their routines, etc. Thus far in spring practice all the runners have been engaging in wind-sprints and‘ins-and-outs. Wind-sprints are merely drills in which the runners race three fourths of the distance at a mod erate speed and give an added spurt or kick the last one-fourth. It is hardly over 220 yards.

PENNSYLVANIA Builds Stamina SHACK = STATE COLLEGE = Delta Upsillon Wins IM Wrestling Crown With Two Champions Rip Engle Pleased With Gridders' Spirit Two extremely healthy signs, which point to a winning Penn State football season this fall, are. already evident in the second week of Nittany spring grid practice. The first encouraging sign stems from Head report that his squad has “wonderful morale” “good esprit de' corps” for spring drills ■ The second note of optimism from early Beaver Field work outs lies in Engle’s remark that “no positions are sewed up.” . Expects Better Balance With such vital spirit and com petitive factors in his favor, it isn’t any wonder that Rip can say, “If we don’t lose many more, we are going to have a good team.” The big loss he had ref ference to was of course that of fullback Paul Anders and half back Ted Shattuck, the club’s top ground-gainer last fall. Engle expects to have a much better ~ balanced squad this fall since he has two or three men battling for every position. If this depth should arise, En gle said it-is possible that there will be a new face breaking into the starting lineup every week. Rip added that there was a strong By JAKE HIGHTON possibility of presenting a dif ferent lineup on successive Sat urdays, as Georgia Tech did last year. Blue-White Vie April 26' Although- the Lions will not have any spring practice scrim mages with other 'teams as they did with Navy last spring. State’s coaching staff has plans well un derway for the second annual Blue-White “Bucket Bowl” game.

Both squads have already been chosen with co-captains Joe Grat son and Stew 'Scheetz each cap taining one. However, trades be tween the two squads still have to be made, so Engle will release the lineups later.
