After Papacharalambous opens the evening's action, Bob McMath
(1-4-0) will meet Joe Rodriquez, San Jose State, in the third bout.
Rodriquez won 8, lost 1, and drew 2 during the regular campaign.
In the 147-pound class, Jack Stokes (6-2-1), Penn State's stylish
Eastern champ, meets undefeated Connie Stamps, Hampton Institute.
In the 11th bout of the 14-match card, Captain Adam Kois battles
rugged Tom Stern, San Jose State. Kois, two-time Eastern champ at
178-pounds, and National runnerup last year, carries a 6-2-1 record.
Stern, National champion last year, holds an impressive 10-1-0 record.
Also included in preliminary action will be second-round elimina
tions in the 139-pound class because of an influx of entries at that
weight. The winner of the Fornicola-Titus match will meet Vic Har
ris (5-1-1) of San Jose State.
Penn State's other two entries are Frank Breidor, 165-pounder,
and Joe Goleman, heavyweight. Breidor received a bye for the after
noon bouts, but will fight Friday night. Goleman, along with three
other heavyweights, received a bye into the semi-final action Friday.
Goleman will meet Bob Hinds. The Wisconsin heavy stopped
Goleman earlier in the season early in the first round. Because there
were only four entries in the 119-pound class, the four men move
into Friday night's semi-final action.
These 24 bouts today will produce 18 semi-final matches Friday
night, followed by 9 title fights Saturday night.
Other bouts to watch in the afternoon will be Gil Inaba.
7 Lettermen
To Bolster
Golf Team
Unbeaten in nine matches last
year, Penn State's golf team will
swing into its eight-match sched
ule in less than two weeks. Coach
Bob Rutherford and his seven
man squad appear to be strong
enough to give their opposition
similar trouble as in the 1953
campaign.
Rutherford has a wealth of ma
terial to work with this season.
Last year's captain, Hud Samson,
is the only man who will not re
turn to the Linksmen's lineup.
Seven veterans will bolster the
Nittany squad in addition to three
other men who tried out for the
team in 1953.
Five two-year lettermen and
two one-year letterman will prob
ably hold the major spotlight in
Rutherford's eyes as he begins his
fifth year as Lion golf coach.
Among the standout men re
turning are seniors Captain Rod
Eaken, Joe Webb, Gordon Stroup,
Lou Riggs, and John Carney.
Eaken, Stroup, and Webb are
two-year letter winners. Warren
Gittlen and George Kreidler, both
juniors, are also two-year letter
men. .
Carney and Riggs earned their
emblems last year. Competition
however will be heavy for a berth
on the seven-man squad with Bill
Durniak and Jim Mayes, both jun
iors, and senior Dick Wahl at
tempting to break into the start
ing team.
Last year the Lions dumped
Pittsburgh, Navy, Cornell, Gettys
burgh, Georgetown, Lehigh. Col
gate, Bucknell, and Temple, in
that order. In the Eastern Inter
collegiate Golf Association tour
ney at Princeton, Penn State
placed second.
In their first five matches last
year, the Lions netted a total of
30 points compared to the compe
titions' seven. Pittsburgh and
Cornell could only salvage one
point each; Gettysburg was shut
out; and Navy and Georgetown
narrowed the Lions' victory edge
in each instance, but still lost the
matches.
In the game's five matches, Ea
ken won medalist honors twice,
Riggs was two under par at Cor
nell to win the same honor, while
Gittlen was medalist against Pitts
burgh.

Masters Tourney Opens
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 7 (A')—
The biggest field in the history
of the Masters Golf Tournament
will start the 20th anniversary
tournament tomorrow, facing one
of the toughest tasks ever to con

That task is to stop Ben Hogan,

Now Hogan is the boss man and
others think of him the way they
thought of Jones—beat Ben and
you can win.
Even before it starts, the 1954
Masters has simmered down to a
contest between Hogan and the
other 78 entrants. So far no one
has suggested that anything but

known as a hard hitting lightweight, although not so fast as other
NCAA entries.

Vince Palumbo, 132-pounds, and Bob Theofield, 147-pounds, from
Maryland. Syracuse's 165-pound Vince Rigolosi will carry a 7-1-0

Pros Fines
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 7(A')—
On the eve of the Masters Golf
Tournament the PGA today slap
ped fines on three of its mem
bers and put one of them on pro
bation as the result of a row at
the Greensb"ro, N.C., tournament
last weekend.
Marty Fur, - ,;o1 of Lemont, 111.,
drew the stiffest penalty from
the association's t o urn am ent
committee, a $250 fine and six
months probation. Doug Ford of
Yonkers, N.Y., himself a member
of this committee, and Bill Nary
of Tucson, Ariz., were fined $5O
each.
The incident started in an argu
ment between Nary and Ford af
ter the former had accused Ford
of stepping on a bush while mak
ing a shot in the play at Greens
boro. Nary refused to sign Ford's
card but Raynor, after talking
with spectators and a gallery mar
shal, ruled Ford innocent of any
rule violation and Ford went on
to beat Furgol in a playoff for
first place.
Furgol got into the dispute, ap
