Hatter Tip; DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Seventeen SM Boxers inter Quarter-Finals Opposite fates befell two defending IM boxing champions yesterday at Rec Hall as 17 con testants moved into the quarter-final round, eight by way of forfeit. Like “Ol’ Man River,” 1952 121-pound fraternity champion Jim McGraw of Phi Sigma Kappa kept rolling along, to use a well-worn expression, as he defeated Sigma Nu’s George Weinschenk in the 128-pound division. But two more of Delta Upsilon’s reigning team champs fell by the wayside as DU’s hopes of winning or shar ing the title for the .fourth straight year became dimmer. Dick Yoder, the DU’s entry in the 128-pound class lost to hard punching Theo Balabanis, Phi Kappa Psi, while 175er. Jack Schaffer dropped a split. decision to Alpha Chi Rho’s John Foder. Another DU kept in the run ning. Art Marks, crafty 135-pound puncher used his left jab and right cross well to win a unani mous decision over George Resh of Lambda Chi Alpha. Walt Hough of Sigma Nu out boxed Chuck Bickelhaupt, Kappa Sigma, to win a 145-pound scrap. In one of the best fights of the program, Bob Winter of Beta Theta Pi scored heavily with blows to the mid-section to win from Kappa Sigma’s Durk Rorie in the 155-pound class. In 165 pound action, Chi Phi swinger Glenn Grove took a hard earned tussle from Milt Netscher of Delta Sigma Phi. Grove seemed to take command in the second period with a flurry of punches, but the fight was awarded to him in the third stanza when referee Eddie Sulkowski, noticing Nets cher had injured his left shoulder, stopped the fight. In the same class, Joe Stefa nelli of Delta Chi outlasted A 1 Wrigley, Kappa Delta Rho con testant, to win out. Frosh Played Well - Egli Freshman Basketball Coach John Egli said Monday that he was pleased with the way his team had performed against the junior varsity on Saturday night. But, he added, he felt the frosh had not played up to their full capabilities. . “Lack of adequate practice has hampered the team,” Egli ex plained. The freshmen practice from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; however, many players are unable io attend full sessions due to late classes, the freshman coach pointed out. “The kind of game we play herb' at Penn State is hard to teach,” Egli said. “It takes a lot of practice to play well under our style,” he said. Rebounding Poor Egli said he felt the freshmen did not do too well in getting re bounds in the JV game. Although both teams grabbed 36 rebounds, Egli noted that the freshmen got 28 on defense and only eight while playing on offense. The JVs picked up 18 rebounds on of fense and 18 on defense. Bob Ramsay, tallest man on the team at 6-7, grabbed nine rebounds— four on offense and five on de fense. Sam McKibben, 6-3, got six for the frosh. Jim Lysek displayed good ball Well-Known Reindeer Tells All NORTH POLE, ARCTIC. Looking very dapper for an 18-point buck with chalked muzzle and matching white tail assembly, Dasher, famous front-running reindeer for the S. Claus Parcel Service, stated today: 1. Conditions on the northern tundra are pretty much the same as ever. No-o, TV hadn’t affected the grazing habits of the middle-class herds. 2. That despite reports to the contrary, you don’t ever thoroughly adjust to sub-zero weather, regardless of the warm esteem people hold you in. 3. Rumors of a reindeer strike for Christmas Eve are unfounded. Somebody’s got a termite in his antler. When asked about the most popular Christmas gift down through the years he replied without hesitation: "Menswear by Manhattan. I've helped haul Mr. Claus’s sled, roe and buck, nigh unto forever ... so I ought to know... nothing makes a man happier than shirts, sportshirts, ties, pajamas, beachwear or under wear labeled Manhattan. Don’t know whether it’s the live style that makes a man look and feel so good, whether it’s the traditional tailoring detail, or the array of fabrics, patterns and colors that are all so unmistakeably quality. I’ll admit one thing. I’ve kind 'of wished sometimes that Manhattan would make deerwear.” handling and a fine one-hand push shot. He dumped in three field goals for six points. Hartnett Sparks Fr osh Joe Hartnett, 6-2, hit for three field goals and two fouls for eight points. Hartnett showed good hus tle. His hard driving sparked the freshmen in the late periods. Bob Benson, 6-4, who replaced Ramsay at the center slot when the latter drew three fpuls in the first period, tied Hartnett for scoring honors by dumping in three buckets and two fouls for eight markers. Charley Sitch and Ed Kramer hit on three shots from the floor for six points. Mc- Kibben and Ramsay, hit for four points to round out the scoring for the yearlings in their 43-42 loss to the junior varsity.
