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.

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. Ins

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

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.
This year’s intra-squad tussle,
which winds up the 20-day spring
sessions allotted by the NCAA
ruling, is- listed for Saturday Ap
ril 26.
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.
Delta Upsilon walked off with
intramural wrestling honors last
night with 227 points, while Sig-(
ma Nu finished a distant second
with 145 points.

ma Nu, 5-3, while Decker blanked
Russ Wasser, Delta'Theta Sigma,
5-0.
DU lost its two other finalists,
Bob Hamilton, 145, and Cy Brown,
heavyweight. Hamilton was pin
ned by George Watson, SPS, who
was in control most of the way.
Hamilton’s end came at 5:50.
Brown was forced to default
to Bob Smith, Beta Theta Pi,
when he-injured his shoulder just
15 seconds after the. start of the
second period.
On the independent side, 145
pounder Ed Navasky put' on a
brilliant “riding” exhibition in
beating.. "Willard Noyes, 5-1.
In the 155 pound class, Amos
Rogers faltered in the second
quarter and, that was all Tom
Lozaw needed to win, 4-0. •
