West Point Teams Tonight
Army’s two-fisted Caissons roll into Eec
Hall at 7 tonight without a winning record
but with enough guns to give Penn State
a rugged obstacle to boxing victory number
one.
The West Point mittmen, winners only
twice in six bouts and then only at the ex
pense of weak opposition, have only a little
more to brag about than State’s
five-time winless aggregation.
On the basis of mutual oppon
ents, the match should be rated
a tossup by default—both teams
have lost to the same opponents.
Syracuse, Virginia, Michigan
State, and Maryland victimized
both Army and State by almost
identical scores in earlier dual
meets. In addition, the Lions lost
to NCAA champion Wisconsin
while Army’s two wins' were
gained over CCNY and Catholic
Nevertheless, tne superbly con
ditioned Cadets always fight a
rushing, swarming battle and
should be rated slight favorites
if only on past seasonal perform
ances. Last year Army’s EIBA
runnerup squad trimmed the
Lions, at West Point.
Probable Starting Lineups:
Penn Stale Army
Marino 125 Beck
Butler 132 McGee
Flore 139 Fredricks
Engle 147 Maloney
Melmeck 156 Rundle
Arnold 165 Massey
Kois 176 Mendell
Andresevic Hwt. Hicks
West Point’s biggest piece of
field artillery figures to be Jim
McGee, EIBA runnerup at 132
pounds last year. McGee, who
scored victories over both Nittany
132 pounders Sam Butler and Joe
Reynolds last year, will meet But
ler again tonight.
On the other hand, Coach Ed
die Sulkowski’s Staters boast at
least four men who must be con
sidered contenders for EIBA
titles in next week’s champion
ships. Sam Marino (125), Tony
TKEs Get Triumph
On Overtime Foul
The second night of intramural basketball playoffs got under
way last night with games that were as exhausting to watch as
they were to play. The thriller of the night featured Tau Kappa
Epsilon and Sigma Chi in a contest that went into double over
time play.
With less than a minute to p]
managed to gain possession of the
ball through a missed Sigma Chi
foul shot, and made this chance
good under the basket. With the
score tied and five seconds left
to play the TKEs had their chance
to win at the free throw line, but
missed it.
The game went into overtime,
during which both teams made
two field goals, TKE its second
after an unsuccessful attempt by
Sigma Chi to freeze the ball. The
sudden death period found TKE
in possession of the ball when a
desperate Sigma Chi fouled to
give Tau Kappa Epsilon its chance
and the game, 41-42. Don McCor
mick was high scorer for the
victors with 11 points. Sigma Chi’s
Dick Christensen was game’s high
man with 15 tallies.
Phi Sigma Delta advanced to
further playoff standing by vir
tue of a 35-28 triumph over Sig
ma Nu. The Phi Sigs had to keep
a fast step ahead' of the losers,
who were never too far behind.
The game turned into a set-shot
contest, for the most part, with
the melee under the boards mak
ing it hard to push in the close
ones. Lee Lefkowitz paced the
Phi Sig attack with 10 markers.-
The Sinkers, last year’s inde
pendent IM champs, seemed well
on their way toward another good
try at the title with a 41-26 tri
umph over the Bears. Jim Gar
rity, with 16 points, was top man
for the Sinkers.
Other scores of the night were:
Capitols 27, Bombers 22; Irvin
eers 36, Leopards 37; Crusaders
34, Lous 19.
By JAKE HIGHTON
Flore (139), Adam Kois (176), and
heavyweight Bill Andresevic have
not been beaten thus far against
EIBA foes Virginia and Syracuse.
Of this quartet, Andresevic
appears to have the toughest op
ponent from the standpoint of ex
perience. Andresevic’s foe, Frank
Hicks, is the only Cadet boxer
aside from McGee who fought
last year.
The middle of State’s lineup
has been shuffled for tonight’s
contest with Stan Engle return
ing at 147 and with Steve Mel
meck moving up to 156 and Hank
Arnold being hoisted to the 165
pound class. Melmeck and Engle
have yet to win, as has Butler,
but Arnold has won once.

Another "HaV,
Says Hutch
LAKELAND, Fla., March 6 (JP)
—Billy Hoeft not only looks like
Hal Newhouser, but he throws
like Newhouser and Manager
Freddie Hutchinson thinks the
young Detroit Tiger lefthander
some day will win like New
houser.
Hoeft, a 20-year-old sophomore,
won only two games in his fresh
man season in ’52, but thus far he
has looked like the best pitcher in
the Tiger camp.
“Hoeft has been the most pleas
ant surprise in camp,” enthused
Hutch. “He looks simply great.
He’s been throwing everything at
’em, a real good fast ball, a fine
curve and an excellent change of
pace.
“What I like best is his control.
Billy has amazing control for
such a young fellow—and a left
hander, at that. He’s going to be
a great pitcher some day.”
Harvey Giving Lesson
George Harvey, Penn State fly
tying and fly casting expert, once
again is spreading the gospel of
good fishing. Annually, in the
months preceding trout season,
he conducts fishing classes in
towns and cities of Pennsylvania.
There would be no better ending for Penn
State’s Eastern Intercollegiate wrestling
champions and its three graduating- seniors
than to conclude their dual meet season with
a convincing victory over an upset-minded
Army team tonight in Rec Hall. The Lions
are seeking their 29th consecutive dual meet
win.

The Lion-West Point match
will begin to make history at 8:30
p.m.
Performing in dual meet com
petition for the last time will be
Penn St a t e’s co-captains Don
Frey arid Joe Lemyre, and Hud
Samson. George Dvorozniak, who.
is a senior, is eligible for one
more semest- \
Frey and —yre will not only
be missed for their mat kriow
how, but will break up the Nit
tany Lions formidable brother,
act for at least another •'year.
Frey—Good Job
Frey, who comprises part of
State’s identical twin duo, will be
out to show who is master of the
brother acts when he opposes part
of West Point’s two-way act in
Jim Karas, brother of Captain
Bob.
Frey lias done a fine job this
season for the Lions, scoring four
wins—three via pins. His most
decisive triumph was made
against Maryland. His five points
aided'the Lions down the South
ern Champs, 18-10. Earlier in the
season Don carried an unbeaten
streak of five straight.
Coach Charlie Speidel’s barrel
chested 167-pound EIWA and NC
AA champ, Joe Lemyre, will tac
kle an EIWA champ in A 1 Pau
lekas in the 177-pound class.
Should they meet, it will be one
of the outstanding matches of the
night. Paulekas has been a con
sistent winner and should exhibit
some open wrestling.
Dvorozniak, who will attempt
to improve his 2-3 record, will
find much trouble from his 167-
pound opponent, Jerry Tebben.
Tebben is one of the East’s best
matmen in that weight class. In
fact, during the dual meet com
petition last year, Army’s Teb
ben decisioned Lemyre, 9-0, but
State’s excellent 177-pound grap
pler eliminated Tebben in the
semi-finals in the Easterns.
Dick Lemyre Unbeaten
Dvorozniak, who missed one
year’s wrestling because he is a
transfer student, was shaping up
as Spe i d e l’s outstanding 167-
pound matman, but his lack of
experience was telling in the last
two meets. His losses, however,
have been against men who were
unbeaten and well-experienced.
Penn State’s only unbeaten
starter, Dick • Lemyre, will en
deavor to enhance his 14 -w i n
skein when he battles .Army’s
John Eckhardt in the 130-pound
class. Eckhardt was. pinned by
Jerry Maurey in 1:44 last year.
Lemyre’s record is not the only
performance that makes the Lion
enthusiasts want to see him wres-
tie, but his fancy and slick style.
Homan, Speidel’s sensational
sophomore, will try to duplicate
last year’s achievement when he
pinned Bob Karns in 8:45. Ho
man’s streak of nine successive
wins was halted at Pittsburgh,
but he will be out to start anew.
The Tentative Lineup:
Penn State Army
Homan (6-1-0) 123 Bob Karns

On Cadet-Lien Tilt Today
A pair of the best gym coaches currently working in the game
will bring their squads together at 2 p.m. today in Rec Hall in a
meet that will determine the best gymnastic outfit in ■ the East.
Gene Wettstone of the Lions and Tom Maloney of the Cadets
of Army are the coaches. At stake will be the 1953 version of the
Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association team title.
If the Nittany gymnasts win, the ’53 crown dream will materialise
along with a perfect season. If Army wins, a two-way, or possibly,'
a three-way tie, would result in the season’s standings. . i
The mighty Black Knights are the defending kings—the Nittany
Lions the contenders. Last season Wettstone’s crew finished second
in the EIGA standings. Army started winning the Eastern gym title,
in 1950, repeated in 1951, and again in 1952.
This season the Cadets have a slightly-tainted 2rl Eastern slate,
losing to Syracuse. The Lions are undefeated—3-0 in EIGA playj
and 5-0 on the season. Over two years the Nittany gymnasts have
eight dual meet wins in a row without loss. The last club to beat:
the Lions was the Cadets.
Last year’s thumping from the hands of the men. from the Hudr
son was nothing new to the Lions. They haven’t turned back Army
in gym since 1948, adding up to five straight losses. . . •
Two Lion Lineup Changes
Three Eastern teams have encountered both Army and the Lions
in the mutual foe department, Navy, Temple, and Syracuse. The
Lions dropped all three for their perfect mark, while the Orange
tacked on Army’s only defeat. The loss to Syracuse was the Cadets
only setback in three seasons of dual meet competition. t
Wettstone has only altered two starting threesomes in prepara
tion for the Cadets. One change came in' the ropeclimb where he
named Johnny Baffa to a starting job along with Dave Shultz and.
Bob Boudreau. Baffa replaces Norman Yu. The other change came
in the tumbling where Bill Sopper will go in place of the injured*
Bob Kreidler. * v ’.
Other Lion staters will be Captain Bob Kenyon and Warreri
Hommas in the tumbling and Bobby Lawrence, Frank Wick, and
Tony Procopio on the sidehorse.
Jim Hazen, Procopio, and Karl Sehwenzfeier will work the fly
ing rings, and Jan Cronstedt, A 1 Wick, and Sehwenzfeier will go oh
the parallel bars. Cronstedt, Mario Todaro, and Procopio will work
on the horizontal bar.
Procopio will be performing in three events for the second week.
Other double-duty Lions will be Cronstedt .and Sehwenzfeier.
The Cadets will present a highly specialized crew, with a dif
ferent man for each position in each event. Top Cadets will be ace
ropeman John Ballantyne, top parallel bar performer Ray Colven,
and tumbling artist Captain George Haas.
