Enter Fifth 11th Victory
Indoor Run Softsrdov
By HERM WEISKOPF
Nittany track Coach Chick
Wei’ner has entered Art Pol
lard, Ollie Sax, and his crack
mile relay team in Saturday’s
New York Athletic Club meet.
Once again the Lions will be
facing some of the finest competi
tion in the world. This will be the
fifth indoor meet of the season
for the Wernermen,
Pollard, the “Coatesville Com
et,” who has done remarkably
well so far this year, will have to
face what many consider the fin
est field of sprinters ever assem
bled. The sophomore standout
turned in his best performance of
the campaign in Boston when he
finished second to Olympic 200-
meter champion \ndy Stanfield.
Lindy Remingo, who copped the
100-meter crown at Helsinki, will
also be competing in this star
studded field. All the top sprint
titlists in the nation will also be
on hand, including Villanova’s
sensational Mike Agostini, who
shaved two-tenths of a second off
the world’s indoor record in the
100-yard dash when he sped to an
0:09.6 clocking in the Washington
Star Meet on Jan. 23. The 18-year
oid native of Trinidad upset
Stanfield at the outset of this
year’s track festivities.
Art Bragg, Jamaica’s Olympic
star, and IC4A champ Bob Kee
gan of Seton Hall will also be
vying for honors along with na
tional champion Johnny Haines
of Penn.
The competition in this field
has been so keen that only one
performer, Stanfield, has been
able to win consistently. At ope
time or another they have all en
tered the finals of the 60-yard
sprint this season. 1
Pollard holds, the distinction of
having beaten many of these stars
at some time this year. The soph
omore speedster has done a fine
job of living up to his perform
ances of last year. He will also
run in the lead off slot on the
relay quartet.
It was thought ■ earlier in the
week that Sax might not be able
to run due to a bronchial ailment.
However, he is under treatment
and will be able to run in the 500-
vard event and in the anchor po
sition for the relay squad. Sax
needs one more victory in the for
mer event to retire the trophy
awarded for this annual race. He
won this race once before.
Sax has" run the 600-yard race
twice this season and this will be
his first effort in the shorter dis
tance. He has paced the Nittany
mile relay outfit in its rise to
prominence among the best in the
nation.
Skip Slocum and Roy Bruhjes
will be the middle twosome on
the relay squad. Werner's baton
passers have won two of the four
meets in which they have run
thus far. At the Inquirer meet in
Philadelphia they captured the
Liberty Bell trophy with a new
meet record of 3:23.8.
In their other two races the
foursome' has finished third. In
the Washington Evening Star
meet Morgan State copped the
laurels and in Boston Manhattan’s
quartet took the honors. These
three squads have formed what is
now looked upon as the fastest
field in the history of indoor mile
relay competition. The Lions sped
to a new Penn State standard in
this event with a clocking of 3:19.7

In ling Lineup
In preparation for the Lions' second and final home boxing match
of the season, Coach Eddie Sulkowski has begun shuffling his men
into different weight classes.
After two straight losses, one to Michigan State in their home
opener and one to Maryland last week, the Lions will be facing one
of their toughest foes of the sea
son this Saturday. Coach Roy Sim
mons will bring a loaded Syra
cuse team to the Rec Hall ring
Saturday night.
When visiting Maryland, Sul
kowski was forced to forfeit the
125-pound weight class competi
tion because Bob Hartly, a soph
omore, did no; compete. This
week, Sulkowski may use either
Hartly or newcomer Dick Evankci
in the lightweight class.
Harry Papacharlambous, a vet
eran letterman who recently re
turned to campus after a stint in
the service, will be looking' for his
second win in three starts. Harry,
commonly known as Pappy,
scored an impressive 30-26 win
against the Spartans, but dropped
a rugged session against the
Terps, 27-30.
Sulkowski Praises Pappy
“Pappy uses a bob and weave
style,” Coach Sulkowski ''ex
plained, “and has a good left
hook.”
In the 139-pound class, Sulkow
ski will stick with Don Martin, a
product of the intramural ring,
although Martin has scored two
draws in as many matches. Mar
tin has been a good counter
puncher for the Lions while scor
ing a 29-29 draw in the opener,
and a 30-30 draw at Maryland.
Larry Stokes, a very nromising
sophomore fighting in the 147 slot,
will be gunning for win number
two. He dropped a close decision
in his first collegiate bout against
the Spartans, but showed very
well in his 29-28 victory at Marv
land.
Allan DeMay. one, of Sulkow-

Adam Kois

ski’s six sophomores, will go
again at 156, although he fought
165 against Michigan State. De-
May’s first fight was stopped in
the first round against champ Tom
Hickey. He then dropped a heart
breaker at Maryland 29-28.
' Team Progressing—Sulk
“Both DeMay and Stokes, like
the rest of the boys, are coming
along,” Coach Sulkowski said.
“Stokes is speeding up with jabs
and left hooks, while DeMay con
tinues to push the attack,” Sulk
continued.
Another shakeup has occurred
for the 165-pound slot. Sulkowski
said that although Dick Ahern,
a senior with one match under his
belt from last season, looked good
in defeat at Maryland, Frannie
Breider. third semester, will get
the nod. Breider. from Philadel
phia, has seen considerable ring
experience while in the service.
Captain Adam Kois will be
looking for win number two, af
ter a 26-26 draw at Maryland,
Frank Della Penna, another
sophomore, will go at the heavy
weight slot. Della Penna, strictly
a one-two boxer, lost his first col
legiate match 30-27 against Mary
land. Joe Goleman. a junior, han
dled the chores against the Spar
tans with a 29-29 draw.

P hates is the highest paid bonus
nlayer in the history of baseball.
The Penn State basketball
team, victor in ten of its first 12
starts, is getting a brief rest from
competitive circles this week, but
Coach Elmer Gross hasn’t slowed
the practice pace a bit.
The Lions face a crucial test
Saturday night at the Pitt field
house when they meet Bob Tim
mons’ always-dangerous Panther
quintet. And the vengeance
minded Pitts will probably be
tougher than ever in the coming
contest since the stinging 91-85
defeat that the Lions handed
them two weeks ago must still
be fresh in their minds.
Pitt-Penn State athletic con
tests have always been bitterly
contested and the triple-overtime
extravaganza at Rec Hall stands!
at the top of the list. j
The Panthers, who trailed for
almost the entire regulation game,
came from behind in the dying
seconds to tie the contest, sending
it into overtime. Then they
watched tw<- leads melt in the
final seconds of the first two
periods, before the Lions took
command in the final frame to
win going away.
Timmons’ contingent of Dutch
Burch. Tommy Artman, Ed Pav
lick. A 1 Zimmoman, and Bill Fen
wick. spearhead a fastbreak of
fense that is capable of scoring
consistently. Coupled with a hard
oressing man-for-man defense the
Panthers can give any team a
rough time.
However, in the first contest
Pitt was unable to find a way to
stop the Lions one-two punch—
Jesse Arnelle and Jack Sherry.
Arnelle hit his season high in
that one with 31 points and Sherry
tossed 20 points through the nets.
Ron Weidenhammer’s deadly set
shots from outside provide the
Panthers with another man-sized
problem.
Following the Pitt contest the
Nittanies travel to Syracuse and
Colgate, returning the Rec Hall
Feb. 24. to host Gettysburg.

Penn Joins
ivy League
Hounef-ilobiii
NEW YuKK, Feb. 10 The
Ivy group of colleges became a
football league in fact today when
the presidents’ agreement ’ calling
for a round-robin football sched
ule, starting in 1956, received the
official blessing of the governing
boards of the eight institutions.
Although if had been known
for some time ihai ihe presi
dents! at a December meeting,
had_ agreed upon the round
robin football plan, the agree
ment did not become effective
until it had been forma 'ly rati
fied by the governing bodies.
This was announced tcday oy
Dr. Grayson Kirk, president of
Columbia University and chair
man of the Ivy "Presidents' Pol
icy Committee."
Since the Ivy group agreement
provides that football schedules
shall not be made more than two
years in advance, the round-rob
in is expected to go into effect in
1956. The schedules for 1954, and
for the most part, for 1955 already
have been drawn up.
In addition to taking this long
step toward league competition in
football, the presidents approved
the principle of round-robin com
petition in other sports, reaffirm
ed the ban on spring football
practice and on athletic scholar
ships and rewrote and extended
slightly the agreement, originally
adopted in 1945 and revised in
1952.
The eighf I.vy group colleges
are Brown, Columbia, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsyl
vania, Princeton, and Yale.
The revised agreement sets no
definite number of games for foot
ball schedules. Since 1945 the
group has limited the football
schedules to nine games a year.
This leaves the possibility that
the Ivy teams can meet such tra
ditional rivals as Army and Navy
.regularly and still play seven
league games.
Two new sections of the agree
ment specify that schedules in
other sports than football shall
not be made prior to December of
the preceding academic year and
that coaches shall not endorse
commercial products.
The latter could force some of
the prominent coaches to drop
their advisory connections with
sporting goods companies which
have brought them additional in
come.
