This is the third straight year the plan has been in use. The Syracuse boxing team, under the tutelage of Coach Roy Simmons, will be gunning for its fifth straight Eastern In tercollegiate crown this year. The tourney will be held March 13, 14 in Syracuse's Archbold Gymnasium. Simmons has added an All- American Lacrosse player to his star-studded roster. He’s Bruce Yancey, a defensive mid-fielder.

Orange center'Frank Reddoul is fast . gaining 1 recognition in collegiate basketball circles. Cage scouts regard- the big sen ior as one of the outstanding stars in the collegiate ranks. He is averaging better than 16 points per game, and his re bounding and defensive play have been outstanding. . Colgate university is also boast ing an outstanding ball player. Bill Dodd, the Red Raiders fancy shooting center, makes his bid this week to break into basket ball’s exclusive “1000 point club.” The big senior now has a three year total of 969 points. These were accumulated in 57 games to give him an - overall average of 17 points per contest. The Raiders embark this week on a four game tour, and Dodd is almost a sure bet to reach the magic figure. Colgate coach Howard Hartman regards him. as one of the most colorful col lege basketball players in ac tion today. His opponents must feel the same way also, since he h3s been named to almost every r"l-opponent team during his career. Their largest scoring spree came against Western Maryland on opening night. In that game they ran up a 126-44 score. Since then they’ve been over the 90 mark four times; against Frank lin and Marshall they hit for 91; against' Rutgers it was 95; in the Virginia game the score read 93- 71; and with Muhlenburg it was 107. j Poor Road Records Other wins were over American University, who the Lions play Feb. 11; Yale; Harvard;, Johns Hopkins; and Temple.

Georgetown was ahead with 35 seconds to go when State's Dave Edwards was fouled. He missed his two foul attempts but grabbed the rebound to put the Lions ahead 71-70. The Hoyas brought the ball up court but the ball-hawking of Ronnie Weidenhammer took the ball away from them. He started down the court but was also fouled with but 15 seconds left to go. He sank both of his shots with five seconds left to go. Captain He r m Sledzik re gained his old form and led the Lions in scoring with 22 points. Teammate Jesse Arnelle was next with 21.

State led at half lime 43-35. all five losses on foreign terri tory while the Middies have been only able to take one out of four “away” matches. Win Last Year As usual, no “giants” will rep resent the Navy pn the hard woods regulations forbid any one taller than 6-4 from entering the Academy. A probable start ing lineup for the Navymen will have John Clune, 6-4,' at forward; Bill Hoover, 6-0, and Jim Van Scoyoc, 5-10, at guards; and Don Kniss, 6-4, and Don Lange, 6-4, at forwards.

This one will not be a “matter"of skill but of condition,” states Coach Charlie Speidel. ; ' Penn States wrestles Navy at Annapolis. The stocky mentor was referring to the fact that his boys have been busy with finals and must sit out another week before they [face any competition. Lehigh was Unbeaten This has been true ever since the season began Jan. 10 against Virginia. The Cavaliers had three dual meets under their belts be fore State even began its season. Lehigh had four meets notched in the. win column before they met the Lions in their second meet. Nevertheless, Speidel’s east ern wrestling championship squad annexed its 21st and 22d consec utive wins Lemyre, Maurey Impress With their impressive 18-8 win over the Engineers of Lehigh, Penn State grapplers certainly exemplified their skill. Dick Lemyre and Jerry Maur ey, who have extended their un beaten victory strings to 11 and six, respectively, won the appro val of Rec Hall rooters with their wrestling skill against the Engi neers. Lemyre, EIWA champion, was leading his highly-touted oppo nent Ken Faust, 4-2', in the sec-' ond period. Wrestling from the referee’s position, Faust secured a bodylock on Lemyre. The slip pery and agile EIWA champion, however, remained calm, sitting with his feet wide apart and his hands near his ankles. Crowd Pleaser The cool play not only brought some laughter from the crowd but had nis 137-pound opponent perplexed. Faust wanted to look —look, he did. The spore then read Lemyre 6—Faust 2. Lemyre in that split second had obtained a reversal of position.

Maurey, who scored a 10-0 de cision from Jack, Carlisle in the 147-pound division, had his oppo nent stymied. The Nittany Lions’ Clearfield product amused the on looking crowd by using “unortho dox riding methods.” These meth ods were performed when Car lisle began wrestling in' a shell, giving Maurey little chance for open Co-captains.
