TUESDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1955 Lion Cagers Rutgers Rassles With Two-Year Depth Problem North Carolina State, Dickin son, DePaul—tjiese three college basketball teams have combined to give the Nittany Lion cagers a 1-2 record to carry into their opening Recreation Hall appear ance tomorrow night against Rut gers. For the second time in the still young season the Lions will be rated the favorites. The Scarlet Knights this year have been plagued by two factors which provided the Nittanies’ Waterloo in their losses to North Carolina State and DePaul—a height de ficiency and a lack of experience. According to Leslie Unger, Rut gers sports .publicist, the Scarlet Knights probably will finish the 1955-56 basketball season with a record only slightly better than last winter’s 2-22 mark. Added Team Height However, a ray of light has been .cast on the prospects for Rutgers in the present campaign. The main reason for the quiet optimism is a great improvement in overall team height, although a really big man still is missing in Coach Don White’s starting quintet. Improved Rutgers rebounding is certain to be the result of hav ing five 6-4 and three 6-3 per formers available. The current Rutgers roster lists only one man below 6-0. He is. Bill Whitacre, 5-11, a starter on last year’s frosh team. Rebounding, where sophomore Ernie Hansen and junior Ken Eiker are expected to shoulder the tmrden, should provide the Scar let added strength. Few Opportunities Rutgers grabbed only 908 re bounds to its opponents’ 1371 last season, thereby having fewer scor ing opportunities.. Last year they scored a season total of 1703 points, while their 24 opponents amassed 2104. Experience is still a problem, but six juniors and two seniors, all veterans of considerable ac tion, are helping to steady a promising six-m a n sophomore group. Second-year man, 6-3 Whitey Leaf; 6-1 sophomore Ed Puk, and Hansen, 6-4, in particu lar, have the inside track on early season starting berths. Even the most optimistic in the New Brunswick' area, however, find it hard to foresee the Knights winning over one-third of their eighteen scheduled games. IM Bowling - (Continued from page six) third place, three games from top: Beta Theta Pi leads Sigma Al pha Mu by one game in League D. The Betas grabbed the top spot after beating the Sigma Alpha Mu keglers, 3-1, last week. Sig ma Phi Alpha is in third place. Dorm 14, independent League A leaders, is followed by*Dorm 23 and the Magambos in the stand ings. League B leaders, the Dark Horses, holds a comfortable four game lead over the Newman Club. The East. Five bowlers are in third place. Two Unbeaten Teams Penn State’s only unbeaten teams during the 1955 sports year were soccer (9-0) and golf (8-0).

IM Boxing - (Continued from page six) ned the first defeat on cocky Chip Engle, Phi Delta Theta, in an other 145-lb. event. Hand’s, dom ination on offense accounted for the win. Ray Flint, Theta Kappa Phi, blasted Dan Zellem, Theta Chi, to the canvas with a right hook in the second round to eliminate him from the 165-lb. weight class. Both fighters exhibited powerful offensive attacks, but the Theta Kap entry was able to sneak in l his winning blow before Zellem could block it. Hard Punching Attack Sigma Pi’s Steve Flamporis moved into a semi-final bout in the 165-lb. division with a un animous decision over Earl Car ins, Theta Xi. Flamporis’ hard counter-punching attack brought him the victory. Stokes Lazarus fought off the wild swinging tactics of Jim Tut tle to cop a split decision verdict in a 135-lb. independent fracas. Tuttle battled toe-to-toe with his foe but the cautious Lazarus wait ed for an opening before throw ing his punches. DU’S lone winner, Jack Stew art, completely outclassed Theta Delta Chi’s Bob Fish in the final fight of the night.

McComb, University librarian. The new smoking rule has not interfered with the operation of the room, and students seem to be taking care of the safe disposal of the cigarettes, McComb said. However, the original problem of students congregating and talk ing in the halls has not been eliminated, McComb said. The smoking can was lifted as an ex periment to alleviate noise in the halls. McComb said that the dis turbance is greater at some times than others, but he has had re quests from students asking him to obtain more quiet at all times. The solution appears to be in a smoking lounge in which students could talk, smoke, and relax, Mc- Comb commented. But at the pre sent this would be impossible due to lack of space in the library, he said. He has asked the stu dents’ cooperation in keeping the halls quiet so that those who wish to study in the library can do so. MAC Sez... Hey, guys and dolls, don't for get this Christmas!
