Lion Cagers Engage Syracuse Tonight When Syracuse's basketball coach, Marc Guley, visited the campus in January, he was. moan ing the blues on how poor a sea son his team was going to have. And for once a coach’s tears were real! The Orangemen have been able to take only five wins out of their 16 starts. But the records might as well be forgotten tonight when the Lions and Orangemen tangle for the second, time this season. Syra cuse has the annoying habit of knocking off the favorites opr its home court they proved this last year when a powerful Penn State five with a 17-3 log stag gered off with a 76-73 double over time loss.

Wisconsin Coach Tour Very Good Wisconsin’s bad Badgers, kings of the collegiate boxing ring, climb through the Rec Hall ropes at 7 tonight, heavy favorites to stop "Penn State’s fourth attempt at victory number one. However, Wisconsin’s veteran Coach John Walsh, producer of six Badger NCAA championships and 27 individual titleholders, ex pects “at least four very good bouts” in weights where the Lions pack their strongest wallop. What-Walsh meant was that with Sam Marino, 125, Tony Flore, 139, Adam Kois, 176, and Bill Andresevic, heavyweight, all either unbeaten or NCAA runnerup like Marino, State' could give Wis consin’s ringmen a close match, national champs or not. In this long series, each being the other’s longest rival, Wis- SAM MARINO 125 JOGI TOMEI SAM BUTLER . 132 TOM ZAMZOW TONY FLORE 139..

However, the last time Wisconsin ventured into the Nittany Vale two years ago Eddie Sulkowski’s tdam snapped a 17-year losing string with a 5-3 ! triumph. Three times this season, against Maryland, Michigan State, and' Syracuse, victory has eluded the Lions. However, the squad has been improving with every bout and with four aces over which Walsh professed fear, State should be ready for its finest performance yet. One of the y keenest contested bouts figures to be the 177-pound go between State’s Kois and Zale. Kois, twice winner this year and held to a tie one other time, will be makingNa return engagement with the rugged nephew of former middleweight champ Tony Zale. Last year Kois held the Gary, Indiana “Man of Steel” to a draw. The 139 pound bracket features a return bout between State’s most consistent winner, .Flore, and the Badgers’ cute sophomore Chuck .Magestro. Flore’s classy style, which one-point decisioned- Magistro last year, has already won two -this year without a defeat. State’s third unbeaten boxer, Andresevic, runs into heavyweight Bob Hinds who has kept good company despite his last year dual record of only 1-0. The elite company Hinds kept was an exhibition with Michigan State’s NCAA champ, and Olympic contender, Chuck Speiser. However, Andresevic in his first varsity season has proved more than capable, with thef gloves winning once and drawing twice in first-round-halted bouts. Captain Sammy Marino, State’s fourth topflighter, draws Wis consin’s only first-year man in Jogi Tomei. Jogi got the assignment when Wisconsin’s best 125-pounder Bob Hennessy dropped out of school several weeks ago. Tomei finished runnerup to Hennessy in Wisconsin’s recent All-University tournament. Marino, who will be battling for his second win, has lost and drawn once. As to two other Nittany pugilists, they can expect nothing but trouble from Badger hotshots. At 156 champion Morgan meets State’s first year performer, Hank Arnold. Lanky Hank is 1-1. In the 147 division, it will be Wisconsin’s captain and NCAA runnerup Sreenan who will oppose Nittany Steve Melmeck. Melmeck lost his first varsity bout at 156 last week. Rounding out the Lion lineup are Sam Butler, 132, and Dick Cameron, 165. Butler, 0-1 on the season, will meet Tom Zamzow, who had a 0-4 record last year. Cameron’s foe, Bob Meath, compiled a 3-2 record last year at every weight between 156-176. Cameron has yet to win in three starts against topflight competition. of the best players in the country. He personally staged a one-man attack in the last Lion game that almost carried Syracuse to a win and just recently against Holy Cross he dropped in 29 points. His 29 points was a record, for three night's, but then came the Niagara contest and his teammate, Mike Besdin set-shot his way to 31 points and a new Syracuse! scoring mark. Besides Besdin and Reddout, Coach.Guley will probably start Dave Kline (who scored 18 points in the last, State tilt) at center, Skip Thaw at guard, and either Billy Nelson or Pat Stark at the other guard position. Stark'was quarterback on the Syracuse foot ball team. ' The Lions have already taken a win over the Syracusians : this year by. a 7.1-62 score.
