Vet-Laden Ring Squad
Faces Heavy Schedule
Boxing Coach Eddie S.ul
kowski begins his fourth sea
son against Maryland Jan. 31
better fixed than ever before.
He has six meet-experienced
boxers returning, arid he has
his fullest schedule,, seven
dual and two championship
meets.
But what State doesn’t have is
an easy opponent. After the Mary
land opener, the Lions must take
on three collegiate boxing powers
in a row—Michigan State, Syra
cuse, and Wisconsin. The Png
tans were NCAA runnersup last
year, Syracuse was Eastern
champ, and Wisconsin, of course,
is the perennial national cham
pion.
Five Letiermen Return
In addition, State’s mittmen
must also meet strong Army, Vir
ginia, -and Catholic U. teams
which stand thr - tr
P?
One year ago the Lions won
once and lost once but fought to
three draws.
Despite the five letter winners
—Captain Sam Marino, Tony
Flore, Adam Kois, Dave Yeakel.
and Sam Butler—and meet vet
eran Joe Reynolds, two big holes
are’ left in the lineup. State is
without Eastern 147 champion
Johnny Albarano and Lou Kos
zarek, 165 EIBA champ in 1950.
Other meet participants last year
who won’t be around are heavy
weight Bob .Potter and middle
weights Jerry Spotts and Laz
LeMon.
Of the returnees, Captain JWlar
ino heads the list at 12.5 pounds.
Samrpy copped the EIBA. cham
pionship and took runnerup
honors in the nationals. EIBA
runnerup Flore, a classy stylist,
stands all alone in the 139 pound
class. Kois won his way into the
EIBA semi-finals but forfeited
because of a broken hand. Kois
will be ready for either heavy
weight or his old 178-pound job.
Open Against Maryland
Although the individuals have
been on their own since the fall,
hard team drills began immedi
ately .after the Christmas holidays
under Sulkowski and his acting,
assistant Frank Patrick, assistant
football coach. Heavy sparring
has been Sulkowski’s biggest
order of the day with the inten
tion of getting some of the new
comers ring-conscious.

The Lion’s Eye
By JAKE HIGHTON
Collegian Sports Editor
To find any similarity between the clowns seen on. television
and the honest craftsmen from Lehigh and State who will toil
on the Rec Hall wrestling mat tomorrow night would take a long
stretch of the imagination. Collegiate wrestling, although unlikely
to ever attain the high Hooper Rating of pro wrestling, is not only
good entertainment but remains a sport. But as State’s coach Charlie
Speidel says, “Let’s not condemn professional wrestling—just
change the name of it.” * f
The Lehigh-Siaie grapplefesi brings together two of the best
teams in the East. Of course there will be heros and villains—
since it will be a partisan crowd—but fans won't know who is
going to win each bout—but—they won't be able to predict the
time of the fall, and they aren't likely to be doubled up in laughter.
It's real sport and becomes more enjoyable with increasing know
ledge of it. With a habitual winner like the Lions, the sport is
awfully popular at Penn Stale—maybe the most popular in the
winter.
As to the match, let none be fooled into underestimating the
strength of Lehigh. Although one of the Engineers’ allrtime greats,
George Feuerbach is no longer competing, Lehigh has other hot
shots returning. Three in particular are worth extra attention—Ken
Faust, Ed Mahoney, and Werner Seel. Faust is the lad who came
within a of pinning Dick Lemyre in the EIWA finals
last year. In fact, Faust gave Dandy Dick (9-0 on the dual season)
his first real test before bowing, 'lO-9. Seel was ineligible last year
but rated by Lehigh adherents as the best heavy existing in the East.
Mahoney is jthe typical Lehigh captain, rough, tough, and good.
In the final analysis, the meet boils down to a tense scrap with
veteran versus veteran—but remember State’s vets won last year.
STILL PERK?: The closer the semester draws to the close, the
more evident it becomes that the end of Joe Pjorkowski's court
career for the Lions at mid-semester will give Coach Elmer Gross
more recourse to aspirin. For an inconspicuous iype player,
"Perk" certainly has turned in conspicuous deeds this season.
Always a 'tenacious defender, Joe is a far belter offensive player
than he has been given credit for. Joe seldom shoots brji when he
does, his one-hand push is deadly. In a three game stretch last
week Joe hit 10 fielders on 16 shots—which is double, sub-par
golf.
NCAA THUNDERCLAP: The NCAA thunderclap which killed
football’s two-platoon and reverberated around the nation
like a national disaster caught Rip Engle out of town and the rest
of the Nittany coaching staff uncertain and slightly “shook up.”
After the shock had somewhat subsided, several of the Lion staff
weren’t too displeased. This much seemed clear to them—the 1953
grid Lions won’t be too bad off. The line especially should be strong
since fellows like Pete Schoderbek, Gene Danser, Danny DeFalco,
Don Shank, Rpsey Grier, and Jess Arnelle played both ways at
various times. However, the backfield will present a few problems
. . , Just imagine Ted Kepimerer, Nittany punting specialist last
fall, telling his kids of the days when he won axleiter without
soiling his uniform . . . But hey, pity Michigan State stuck with
60 "pro" players in a game which is once again to be played by
11 men.

The first doublebill of the intramural basketball season got

back in the second half to triumph after being behind 15-9 at the half.
Jack Newell scored 14 tallies as the Leopards clawed Smith Hall,
40-34. The 15-15 deadlock at the half made the Leopards stalk un
easily. They had to outdue their
opponents in the second half to
cop their fifth straight win.

time lead and 10 points by Gerald

by the Cubs was cut short by the
Capitals as they registered their

no avail with 16 tallies
In League A, the Monday night
win by the Gorps over the Bears
will be nullified because an in
eligible player was used by the
Gorps in winning their fifth
straight game. The Bears had a
4-0 slate until their defeat by the
