Southern Conference runner-up,

tabulations released th i s week.

before finally succumbing, 35-21,
topped in the total offense, rush
ing offense, and total defense de
partments.
The Mounties had an average
of 377.2 net yards per game and
a 263.9 rushing average. On the

Women Are Athletes, Too!
By MIMI UNGAR
Women are athletes, too! Or,
shall we say can be athletes? In
either case, you'd never know it
on the Penn State campus. Stu
dents pay nine dollars a semester
to watch the men compete in ath
letic events. We'll bet, however,
that the men would be willing to
pay extra to see the women ath
letes in action.
It's the phys ed majors and
members of the Women's Recrea
tion Association who usually do
most of the organizing and direct
ing of the women's extra-curri
cular athletic program. In addi
tion to "standing clubs," they
organize a diversified intramural
program for the coeds.
White Hall is the place that
features women in everything
from leotards to tank suits. Once
a week, the clubs—bridge, mod
ern dance, swimming, officials, et
al—hold meetings. But these_'clubq
have a limited membership, often
for a particularly "t al en te d
group."
Landslide Scores
The intramural pr o gr am is
what hits a larger segment of the
coed population; here is where the
athletic competition enters. Prob
ably encompassing more coeds
than any other sport is intramural
basketball. Sorority, dormitory,
independent, and town groups en
ter the competition.
Games take place Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. Scores tend to
vary as greatly as the mercury
does from deep winter to late
spring. Close games are uncom
mon—landslides are usually worse
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Jim Dooley and Pete Scho
derbek, Penn State's outstand
ing cent e r and linebacker,
won first team berths on the
Associated Pre s s' 1952 All-
East football squad yesterday.
Two others, the Nit t a'n y
Lion s' pass - snatching end,
Jesse Arnelle, and hard-hit
ting guard, Don Barney, re
ceived honorable mention.
The two-platoon squad was
picked af t e r consultation with
coaches of• the Ivy League and
Eastern independents.
Opponents Place
Dooley, a senior, earned his po
sition on the team because of the
few blocks that he has missed.
Schoderbek, on the other hand,
was outstanding for his vicious
tackling. Only a junior, the line
backer ha d constantly plugged
the center of the line.
Three of the Lions' 1952 'oppo
nents—Pitt, Penn, and Syracuse
—placed six men on the first team.
Each placed two gridders on the
22-man squad.
Schmidt Selected
Eldred Kraemer, Pitt's 220
pound tackle, is the only sopho
more on the squad. The 23-year
old Army veteran from Clear
Lake, Minn., is call e d by Pitt
Coach Red Dawson the best tackle
he ever coached. ,
In addition to Kraemer, Pitt
placed Joe Schmidt who has been
honored by several all-teams. He
was a solid choice with Schoder
bek for linebacker.
Penn's big double duty end, Ed
Bell, was named to the defensive
platoon. This is the second year
the All-American end has been
named to the squad. Penn's other
position went to its great defen
sive tackle, John Shanafelt.
Bill Skyinskus and Bobby Fleck
were named from Syracuse. The
256-pound Fleck was one defen
sive tackle, while Skyinskus was
named as one of the offensive
guards.

than the recent presidential elec
tion.
McElwain-Simmons' victory
over Phi Sigma Sigma last month,
49-4, showed the landslide ten
dency. In this game, the men
would have marveled at the fancy
hook-shots of "I.B." Laza r u s,
speedy center forward from Sim
mons.
'Normal Coeds?'
The women play eight-minute
quarters, and most of the gals
are really ready for the "showers"
when the games end. The next
day sore muscles cause them to
moan—but only until next week,
when they meet another oppon
ent.
Those coeds who don't get in
volved in basketball try their skill
at ping pong, bowling, or bridge.
Although these do not require
as much energy, to be athletic is
not normal for the "normal coed"
—thus, complaints are registered
after competing in the less-tiring
sports.
When spring arrives, the men
finally get an opportunity to see
the women in athletic action.
They view the intramural soft
ball games, usually with silly
smiles on their faces. But, you

being ladies, and then let their

Even though the women com

5 Fraternity Boxers
Register TKO Wins
TKOs were the order of the day last night at Rec Hall as five
fighters registered first-time-out wins via .abbreviated scraps 'in an
all-fraternity 12-match card.
' In the 3d session of the IM boxing tourney Delta Upsilon, four
time defending fraternity champs, boosted its early team lead up
one more notch when Bud Nicholson, 128, was presented a forfeit
win from Harold Birth, Theta Xi. DU has now advanced .five men
into the second round.
•
A pair of Delta Chi's whipped up TKOs to go into the second
round. Whitey Messerman, 135, took his fight with Phi Epsilon .Pi's
Stu Itzkovitz when the Phi Ep . didn't answer the bell for the final
round. Messerman had been in command all the way.
- -
Ed Steel, 155, picked up his TKO at :32 of the first round over
Tom Dunbar, Kappa Sigma. Dunbar suffered a shoulder separation.
A big, booming roundhouse right at :21 of the last round gave
Johnny Russ, Phi Sigma 'Kappa, a TKO over Sigma Phi Epsilon's
Tom Godfrey in the 135-Ib. division. Russ stunned Godfrey late in
the second round and stopped him, in the last with the right to
the chin.
Steve Melmeck, Sigma Nu's 165-pounder, halted Bill Wismer,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in :47 of the first round. Melmeck just had
too many guns, too fast for Wismer to handle.
Shopa Wins
Lee Kreiger, Phi Sigma Delta, brought home another TKO
when referee Glenn Hawthorne stopped his fight with Ron Felgal,
Phi Kappa Sigma, at :47 of the final two minutes. Kreiger, 145, ,was
on top all the way and never let Felgal get set.
Kappa Sigma's Pete Shopa, 175, took a "no doubt about de
cision from 'AI Ofensend, Kappa Delta Rho. The powerful Shopa,
showing a variety of attacks, toyed with Ofensend most of the 'way
in picking up the nod.
In the lone heavyweight clash of the card, Joe Gratson, Phi
Kappa Psi, was awarded a highly unpopular split verdict over Mac
Dickerson, Kappa Alpha Psi. Gratson, the slugger, and Dickerson,
the boxer, staged a close, tight fight, with no knockdowns, that went
to a decision. And the decision was met with loud and long_ boos
and catcalls from the few remaining galleryites.
Three 155-pounders grabbed their first wins in the, fraternity
dealings. Bill Townsend, also of Phi Kappa Psi, continually beat
Gene Kessler, Phi Epsilon Pi, to the punch to capture a unanimous
decision.
- - - - _
McChesney Takes Decision
Mike Brunner, Theta Kappa Phi, punched out an unanimous
verdict over Alpha Tau Omega's Dave Anundson. Brunner's heavy
guns left Anundson dazed in the final round, Tom Loiaw, Delta
Sigma Phi, dropped Bill Camp, Sigma Nu, in the second round to
earn a split-verdict, after stunning Camp three times in the middle
frame.
Phi Kappa Sigma's Alan McChesney, always moving in, took. a
unanimous decision from Al Bagoly, Lambda Chi Alpha, in. the
128-lb. class. The little McChesney capitalized on top infighting to lift
the nod. In the 165-Ib. class, Lou Gomicik, Alpha Tau Omega, cashed
in on more wild shots and ousted Dick Ahern, Pi Kappa Phi.
Other forfeit winners were: Gordon James, Acacia; defending
135-Ib. champ, Stan Engle, Sigma Nu; Winston Mergott; Alpha Tau
)mega; Dick Kepple, Delta Sigma Phi; and Don Brill, Zeta Beta Tau.
