Boxers Seek
2nd at Army
By ROY WILLIAMS
On the third leg of a four-match road trip, Penn State's boxing
team will face Army this afternoon at West Point. The Lions will
be seeking their second straight victory, after dropping three and
tieing one this season.
Penn State's eight-man lineup will remain intact except for one
change at the 139-pound division.
Ronnie Smith, the fifth sopho
more on the Lion ring team, will
replace Don Martin, a junior.
Smith has had no previous var
sity experience, although he is a
product of the intramural com
petitions 'last fall.
Comparative Score
In comparing Virginia's indi
vidual record against Army, and
then with the Lions who rocked
the Cavaliers 5 1 / 4 -2%, the Penn
Staters should have a slight edge.
Virginia tied Army, 4-4.
Virginia's 125-pounder Bill Ban
erdt defeated Army's Weinstein,
but Harry Papacharalambous,
veteran Lion, fought to a 30-30
draw with Banerdt,
In the 132-pound class, Nittany
Bob McMath fighting his first
match defeated Virginia's Bob
Rush. Rush defeated Army 's
Merola.
Don Martin's win over Vir
ginia's 139-pounder, Grice White
ly, would give the Lions the edge
in this weight. Whitely defeated
Army's Mike Stevenson, Eastern
Cadet last year.
Smith to be Underdog
But Smith's replacement of Mar
tin may give Stevenson . the nod
over Penn State's rugged but in
experienced lightweight.
Larry Stokes, Lion 147-pounder
carrying the best individual rec
ord of 4-1, defeated Virginia's
ring newcomer, Bill Young. But
Andy Maloney from Army will
give Stokes tougher competition
than he faced against the Cava
liers. Maloney . was 147-p ou n d
Eastern Champ last year, after
carding an undefeated season of
5-0-1.
Army holds potential trouble
for the Lions in three of the re
maining four weight classes-156,
165, 178, and heavyweight.
Eastern Semi-Finalists
In the first two light-heavy
weight slots. Army boasts two
Eastern semi-finalists. Don Run
dle, 156-pounder, will face Don
DeMay, the Lion sophomore who
has been pitted against senior
standout opponents all season.
Army's Rundle lost to Virginia's
Pete Potter last year, but showed
recent improvement in his draw
with Potter this year.
Frank Breidor, 165-pound Lion,
will face Clyde Massey, Army's
second 1953 Eastern semi-finalist.
Massey defeated Sonny Nichols of
Virginia, and Nichols decisioned
Breidor last week,. 29-27:
In the 178-pound class, Adam
Kois seeks his fourth victory

Choice Ch
against Army's Ed Mendell. Kois
defeated the Cadets 178-pounder
last year in the Easterns.
Joe Goleman, Lion he av y
weight, meets Frank Hicks, Ar
my's semi-finalist in the East
erns last year. Goleman, a junior,
has a 1-1-1 card.
On paper Penn State looks
stronger in the first four bouts
than the Cadets. If the Lions can
win three out of the first four
matches as they - did last week
at Virginia coupled with a win by
Adam Kois, the worst they can
post against the Cadets is a 4-4 tie.
Sulkowski to See Japan
Penn State's boxing coach, Ed
die Sulkowski, will take part in
a boxing clinic in Japan during
the .Summer.

Soph Slump
Did Not Show
In Bevo's Case
NEW YORK, March 5 (IP)
There's b een no "sophomore
slump" for Clarence (Eevo) Fran
cis, the Rio Grande basketball
shotmaker. ,
Despite a tougher schedule aid
special defenses to "stop . 13evo; '
Francis has finished the regular
season with a smashing 50 point
per-game average on 1100 mark
ers in 22 contests. That's just a
shade below the 50.1 average he
posted as a freshman last year
when he tallied 1954 points.
The difference is that his work
will go doWn in the record books
for this season whereas his 1952-
53 marks never were recognized
because Rio Grande did not play
a full four-year college schedule.
NCAA Service Bureau statistics
released today show that Francis
is almost 20 points ahead of the
field in the matter of scoring av
erage among the nation's small
colleges. Vince Leta of 'Lycorn
ing with a 30.9 average and Bill
Warden of North Central college
of Illinois with 30.7 rank second
and third.

outscored, 28-8.
- Neither team scored until the
three minute mart. .It was then
that Douglas Mechling broke the
ice for the Sinkers. with a push
shot from the left corner. A fast
break lay-up by Billy Kane made
it' 4-0. Five minutes had elapsed
before • Richard Mohler finally
counter for the Forty-Niners to
make it 4-2. The Sinkers brought
it up to 6-2
• when Phil Reese hit
on a 20-foot push.
Kane then tallied for the Sink
ers only to have Bob Martino
counter for the Forty-Niners. An
other basket for Martino and a
fielder by Harry Koehnlein
brought about the only tie of the
game at 8-B'. Kane added three
points and Dan Radakovich one

turn tossed to Kane for an easy
"peep" shot. From there on in
there was no doubt as to the
outcome.

Reese all contributed to the rout.
