Six Bouts Open IM Mitt Card
Lion Quintet
Prepares
For W&i
Head Coach Elmer Gross
will put the .finishing touches
on his 1953 basketball entry
this week in preparation for
the season opener against
Washington and Jefferson Sat
urday in Rec Hall, when the
Lions start a .19-game card.
Gross’ main problem at the
moment appears to be captain
Jack Sherry and high-scoi-ing
Jesse Arnelle who just joined the
squad after a season of football.
The pair, along with letterman
Bob Rohland and sophomore for
ward Bob Hoffman, have had on
limited practice.
Arnelle and Sherry figure to be
the Lions’ top offensive threats.
Arnelle tossed in 408 points last
season for a 17 point per-game
average and Sherry tallied 248
markers for an average of 1013.
Weidenhammer at Guard
Arnelle is slated to be in the
center spot for the floormen with
Sherry and Ron Weidenhammer
at the guards. Weidenhammer has
been Gross’ top ball handler and
floorman for the past two sea
sons. He’ll provide the outside
scoring threat with his accurate
set shots.
Ed Haag and Jim Blocker ap
pear to be Gross’ choice at the
forwards although sophomore Ru
dy Marisa is giving Blocker a run
for his money at that position.
Hagg was a regular last year and
has caught Gross’ eye in pre
season practice with his driving
offensive tactics and dead-eye
shooting.
Blocker Shows Progress
Blocker joined the team at mid
season last year and has shown
progress on both offense and de
fense this year. Both he and
Marisa are 6-4 and good rebound
men. Marisa, who has shown a lot
of fight on the bankboards,
played on .John Egli’s freshman
team in, 1952.
Lack Height
Gross has pointed out that the
team’s main weakness is its lack
of height. “Our kind of defense
requires height,’’ he said, “and.
we’re handicapped without it.”
The Washington and Jefferson
contest will be the only home
attraction until after the Christ
mas holidays. The Lions travel to
Penn, American. University, and
North Carolina State after the
opener and return home to meet
Syracuse at Rec Hall Jan. 6.

135-lb. Champ
Wins Ist Fight
Fur and fists flew in the first session of the intramural
boxing tournament yesterday afternoon at Rec Hall with the
first of three defending IM champs getting off on the right
foot. Only six of the scheduled 17 bouts yvere run off, the
rest resulting in forfeits.
Joe Messerman, the king of the 135-pound class last season,
opened his quest for the 145-pound title by out-maneuvering
Frank Locotos of Pi Kappa Alpha in the first bout of the day.
In other scraps, Zeta Beta Tau’s
Mike Cramer outslugged Bill
Camp, Sigma Nu’s entrant in the
155 pound division. Harry Car
roll, Phi Sigma Kappa, made
short work of his heavyweight
opponent, Chuck Ferguson, Sigma
Phi Epsilon, in winning on a TKO.
Don Hoffman, a 128-pounder
from Beta Sigma Rho also
notched a TKO over Ramsey
Frank, Alpha Gamma Rho. Bob
Jordan of Phi Kappa Psi deci
sioned Ron Seipert, Lambda Chi
Alpha, and Joe Musial won a deci
sion over Tom Richards. Delta
Sigma Phi
Probably the most crowd-pleas
ing scrap was the Camp-Cramer
setto. Cramer, with a shorter
reach, had to take advantage of
the openings in a real slugfest.
Carroll sent his Phi Sig sup
porters home happy with a quic]£
TKO in 58 seconds. He pursued
Ferguson around the ''ring from
the opening bell and won with
little trouble. Jordan, 175-pounder,
grabbed a close decision from
Seipert in a good bout.
Both Musial and Richards cau
tiously played for the openings
in their 145 pound scrap. The
latter connected with more short
jabs to gain the decision.
Forfeit wins were recorded by
Wylie, Pi Kappa Phi, over Rus
sell, Phi Gamma Delta; Capin,
Alpha Epsilon Pi, over Norcik,
Chi Phi; Hofmann, Sigma Pi, over
Schwenzfeier, Beta Theta Pi;
Evanko, Theta Kappa Phi, against
Lewis, Sigma Chi; and Chalmers,
Zeta Beta Tau, over Smith, Phi
Delta Theta.
Others moving to the second
round on forfeits were Snyder,
KDR, over Bell, Phi Epsilon Pi
and Fleming, Chi Phi, over
Hirsh, Zeta Beta Tau. Freseh, of
TKE, Thomas, KDR, and Hickey
of DU also advanced by way of
forfeit.
