First Oder
Wolfpack
Penn State sets its sights on
one of the nation's top colle
legiate basketball teams to
night when it tangles with un
beaten North Carolina State
in the Reynolds Coliseum in
Raleigh, N.C.
The Lions, sporting a 1-0
slate, will be out to grab a vic
tory that has eluded - them in_
three scraps with the peren
ially strong, Wolfpack.
Coach Everett Case's team, de
fending champion of the Atlantic
Coast Conference, has already
won three games without defeat.
The Wolfnack whipped William
and Mary, Temple, and Wake
Forest in its first three games.
The Lions, winners in their
opener with Dickinson Saturday,
arrived in Raleigh this morning
and will practice at the Coliseum
early this afternoon.
Will Start Same Five
Penn State coach John Egli said
yesterday that he will probably
start the game with the same
combination that opened against
Dickinson. He'll send Ron Wei
denhammer and Bob Hoffman at
the guards, Jesse Arnelle at cen
ter, and 'Joe Hartnett and Jim
Blocker at , the - forwards.
Hoffman, who returned to bas
ketball this season after an ap
pendectomy sidelined him last
year and immediately established
himself as a regular, topped the
Penn State scoring Saturday night
with 13 points.
He and Jesse Arnelle will prob
ably be the key men in the Penn
State scoring. Arnelle, still not
entirely acclimated to the basket
ball court after a hard season of
football, scored only' 10 points
Saturday.
Egli will also be counting on
the services of forwards Rudy
Marisa and. Bob Rohland, center
Bob Ramsey, and guards Earl
Fields and Dave Edwards. Mar
isa, playing in a reserve roll °Sat
urday, scored 13 points.
Must Stop Shavlik
Egli's big problem tonight lies
in the Lion's ability to bottle-up
the Wolfpack's two big scoring
threats, Ron Shavlik and guard
Vic Moledet. The pair scored over
900 points between them last sea
son.
Shavlik, a 6-7 center, has been
selected on several pre-season
America squads. Last year, be
sides his high scoring average, the
big pivotman from New York
state led the Atlantic Coast con
ference in rebounds and set two
new school records in that de
partment. He averaged over 14
per game, and collected more than
300 during the season.
Egli said that he plans to use
both the zone and press in an ef
fort to stop Case's intensive of
fensive game. Using a heavy fast
breaking offense, the Wolfpack
has scored over 10 points in two
of its three games games played.

ECAC May Take

cations that the Eastern College
Athletic Conference may tale a
strong and unified. stand on the
touchy subject of football tele
vision were seen today as the
representatives of the 97-member
colleges and 21 affiliated leagues
continued their preliminary meet
ings.
Other items of interest that
turned up today were that the
1955 Intercollegiate Rowing As
sociation regatta isn't definitely
set for Syracuse, N.Y., though in
all probability it will be held
there and a strong hint that the
Ivy g r oup is heading towards
league competition in other sports
than football.
The ECAC Television Commit

presented at the conference busi
ness meeting Friday.

Outstanding Boxing,
Highlight Intramural
Excellent boxing and solid' bunching were the main factors in most of the wins garnered last
night in IM boxing, as first round action entered its final week.
Eleven matches, including five independent frays, were featured on last night's card. Inde
pendents started off , the action when Paul Wetzel, 145., defeated Dick. Waltoh. Wetzel, who was
defeated in the 145 title scrap last year by Larry Fornicola, had too much punching power and all
round know how for his inexperienced opponent.,
In the 165-pound class Lloyd Arms, Delta Tau Delta, went down to, defeat at the hands of a
more aggressive Nick Muessem of Sigma Nu. Muessem used a good right hand plus good counter
punching to capture the victory.
In the independent unlimited'
class, Dan Radakovich, using his
height to great advantage, pecked
away with his left hand for three
rounds to grab an easy win over
George Pudlo. In the independent
1155 class Dick Hartman punched
his way to a unanimous decision
over Bill Shawley, who received
a nice ovation from the crowd
for. his gameness.
Ray Alberigi, Kappa Delta Rho,
swept to his second win as he de
feated Dave Schofield, Phi Delta
Theta. Alberigi displayed great
form as he boxed and punched to
an easy victory. Schofield put up
a good fight but was consistently
slowed up by the effective body
punching of Alberigi, who seemed
to be much sharper than in his
previous fight.

In the unlimited class Jim
Burkhart, Kappa Sigma, won his
second victory as he outpunched
Dan Revie, Sigma Chi, ir), a bout
which ladked the speed and color
of the previous matches.
The only TKO was registered
in the 155 independent class when
Hank Barone scored his win over
Four lasketball Teams
Win Tense lid Contests
Four close basketball games and one runaway highlighted Tues
day night's nine-game intramural program.
Theta Xi, the team that defeated defending intramural basket
ball champ Phi Sigma Delta last week, had to toss out an anchor in
order to hold on to their 23-20 victory over Sigma Alpha Mu.
With 45 seconds left to play and
Theta Xi leading, 21-18, the Sam
mies' 6'5" center, Stan Lassoff,
tapped in a rebound to narrow the
gap to one point. SAM stole the
ball from the winners with just
30 seconds left, but Theta Xi re
gained possession and netted 'a
two-pointer to clinch the game.
Mike Meckley tallied 13 for the
winners while Lynn Edlis was
high for the losers.
Delta Sigma Phi also had to
struggle to maintain a 17-12 half
time lead over Sigma Pi. Led by
Tom Furbee's 12 points, the Delta
Sigs won, however, 28-26. Ed Su
ley scored 18 for the losers.
